University Master's Degree in Teaching Languages: Spanish as a Foreign Language - 11th edition
Academic information
Online teaching organisation
Students can choose between face-to-face and online teaching with the same class schedule.
Online teaching
Students who choose virtual learning do not have to travel to the Faculty of Arts because all training activities, including assessment, are always virtual. However, it should be taken into account that online teaching is not based on recorded classes. Therefore, students have to connect with the teaching staff and face-to-face students at the established hours.
Asynchronous sessions or classes will only be activated for those international students that cannot connect online due to the great time difference between synchronous teaching and country of residence.
Face-to-face teaching
Students attend face-to-face lessons at Catalunya Campus. The lessons are hybrid with face-to-face and online students together. Some activities also require the face-to-face students to connect to Teams in order to work together with the online students.
External practices
The external work experience programme is a compulsory 6-credit subject in which you have the chance to put into practice the knowledge you have acquired during the master's degree in an academic or professional environment. For this reason, you are advised to do your work experience in the second semester, when there are fewer classes and you have acquired a sufficient theoretical basis to cope with teaching Spanish as a foreign language. In exceptional cases, you may be allowed to do their work experience in the first semester.
The credits are distributed as follows: 3 credits (75 hours) for preparation, observation and teaching of Spanish as a foreign language, and 3 credits (75 hours) for writing a report on the work experience programme.
The work experience takes place in organizations that teach Spanish as a foreign language, preferably universities and university language centres, but also primary and secondary schools, academies and local civic centres. Every academic year we offer a wide range of placements and you choose the one that you prefer.
Some of the institutions that habitually provide placements for internships are: the URV Centre for Hispanic Studies and URV Language and Publications Service, national institutions as The British School of Costa Daurada (Tarragona), Centro Público de Educación de Personas Adultas García Alix (Murcia) o Academia Pagoda (Valencia) and international centres as the universities of Perugia (Italy), Silesia (Poland) and Groningen (Netherlands).
Check out the list of centres where the students of the master’s degree in Spanish as a Foreign Language have undertaken their internships.
