Do So

This paper explores the issue of syllabus design for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) classes by presenting a case study carried out at the Grenoble Faculty of Economics and the Grenoble Initial Teacher Training College (France). The study had two objectives: develop prospective and newly recruited content teachers’ professional skills, notably the ability to teach their subject in English on an occasional basis, and help them reflect on their professional practice. In order to do so, mandatory EAP modules for all trainee content teachers (TCT) of disciplines other than language studies were implemented to provide TCTs with an introduction to content and language integrated learning (CLIL) and to train them to teach in a CLIL format. In this paper two types of data are analyzed: the assessment of TCTs’ final assignment and the responses to a questionnaire aiming at gathering TCTs’ feedback on the EAP modules.

Este artículo analiza la evolución de los planes de estudio de educación física y ciencias de la actividad física en la Universidad de León desde su implantación en 1987. Aunque es un estudio de un caso, se plantea como ejemplo del proceso de transformación de dichos estudios en España en los últimos 25 años. El análisis de los datos permite colegir que en este tiempo dichos estudios han sufrido una transformación de fondo al calor de los saberes hegemónicos: la formación humanística, social y pedagógica ha sido sustituida por materias de índole deportivo. Se argumenta que esta transformación provocará cambios en el perfil de los titulados y, eventualmente, puede redefinir el significado y las funciones de la educación física escolar.Palabras clave: planes de estudio, formación inicial de profesores, reforma universitaria, educación física.Abstract: This article analyzes the evolution of the syllabi in physical education and physical activity sciences at the University of León since its introduction in 1987.
