Description and contextualization of the subject

The aim of this course is to introduce the didactic approach based on text-genres and didactic sequences in the framework of multilingual education. More precisely, during this course students will:

- Learn about the theoretical framework of the socio-discursive interactionism (SDI).

- Learn to identify and analyze diverse text genres.

- Design didactic models of written text genres.

- Analyze written texts produced by multilingual students.

Ordinary call: orientations and renunciation

Students will have to hand in an individual written review of an article/book chapter (40%). They will also make an oral presentation of the article/book chapter (40%) containing not also a summary of the reading but also a discussion addressed to the whole group of students. The remaining 20% of the final mark refers to short classroom/homework assignments (20%).





Information on the use of resources and materials in assignments: the work submitted by the students must be their own work and must have been written completely by themselves. The students must identify and include the source of all facts, ideas, opinions and viewpoints of others through in-text referencing and the relevant sources should all be included in the list of references at the end of their work. Direct quotations from books, journal articles, internet sources or any other source must be acknowledged and the sources cited must be identified in the list of references.
