Overview of the Project:
I am applying for the Lecturers' Professional Development Fund in order to register on a training course for teachers of Spanish as second language in Santander, Spain.
The tittle of the course is Introduction to the Clock Method: A new way of teaching Spanish grammar to foreigners. The course has been designed for Spanish teachers as a second language interested in reflecting on what being a Spanish teacher mean and what language teaching consists of, and in knowing the grammar aspects involved in foreign language teaching/learning through this new methodological approach.
By attending this course I will acquire the tools, techniques and abilities to teach grammar through a different and original approach. At the end of the course I will be able to manage group dynamics and interaction in the classroom and I will become familiar with pedagogic grammar and learning to apply it in the classroom. One of the major goals of the course is to reflect on grammatical aspects that are especially difficult for non-Spanish speakers.
Taking this course will help me grow professionally in my teaching career. Its learning experience will provide me with the capacity to improve my skills in designing, organizing and scheduling my courses.
The course will also allow me to apply the acquired skills on my own courses on campus and to share the knowledge with my Lecturer colleagues so that they could benefit from it and implement their courses as well.
