Curricular Content

The teaching of foreign languages to students in Translation and Interpreting (TI) programmes should be framed within the field of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP). This would make it possible to pinpoint specific curricular content and methodological traits that contribute to the enhancement of the communicative competence and initial development of TI competences. This paper analyses the students’ perspectives on L2 teaching in a TI programme and how it should be undertaken to best comply with the linguistic demands imposed by translation and interpreting. A thematic analysis of 117 open questionnaires returned by students from Austria, Slovenia and Spain identified five areas to which the students attribute particular importance, and which should be considered when developing TI-oriented curricula.

Recent Developments

Recent developments in the teaching of foreign languages at school level have been primarily, if not exclusively, concerned with attempts to move away from the more academic form-focused views of language and language teaching that prevailed well into the 70s, towards the more practical and communicatively-oriented approaches in vogue today. Many projects have added useful insights in this areas, and it would be impossible to do justice to them all. It is proposed, therefore, to limit the scope of this chapter to the description of a rather as a subject rather than as a medium of instruction. It is hoped that these will be seen as representative of the much wider range of school foreign language teaching developments that have taken place across the world in recent years. First, however, a brief attempt will be made to outline the background from which these more communicatively-oriented approaches have emerged.

Existen numerosos estudios sobre la competencia comunicativa y la enseñanza de la expresión e interacción oral en el aula. La destreza lingüística de la expresión oral es la más difícil de conseguir en el aprendizaje de la lengua materna y extranjera. Por tanto, hay que dedicarle especial atención y una cuidadosa planificación. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo la reflexión crítica sobre los fundamentos teóricos que diferencian la modalidad oral de la modalidad escrita y las dificultades que se presentan para la enseñanza de la expresión oral en el aula de Educación Primaria. Para ello, hemos observado una serie de fundamentos teóricos para el desarrollo de la expresión oral, y nos hemos detenido en las dificultades metodológicas de esta destreza, entre otras, en la complejidad de su evaluación. Asimismo, hemos definido una serie de objetivos para cada ciclo educativo en los que se incluyen aspectos pragmáticos y en los que se describen actividades y procedimientos didácticos para ejercitar diferentes estrategias para el desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa, considerándola uno de los objetivos primordiales de la lengua. There have been numerous studies on communicative competence and the teaching of oral expression and interaction in the classroom. The linguistic skills inherent in oral expression are the most difficult to achieve in the learning of both the mother tongue and foreign languages. Therefore, it needs special attention and careful planning. The aim of the present work is to make a critical reflection upon the theoretical basis that differentiate the oral modality from the written modality and the difficulties that arise in teaching oral expression in the primary education classroom. In order to achieve this, we have looked at a series of theoretical bases for the development of oral expression, paying particular attention to the methodological difficulties of this skill, such as the complexity of its assessment, among other aspects. Similarly, we have defined a series of objectives for each educational stage, including pragmatic aspects. Activities and didactic procedures are described in order to highlight different strategies for the development of communicative competence, considering it to be one of the fundamental objectives of language learning.

Amount Of Knowledge

Communicative skills are the leading tendency in the modern methods of teaching foreign languages. The article deals with the aim of such a system of teaching – the establishment of foreign language competence which contributes to the students’ communicative skills. One of the most important component of communicative competence is language competence, that provides on the basis of a decent amount of knowledge as the construction of grammatically correct forms and syntactic constructions, as an understanding the semantic segments of language, organized in accordance with the norms of a foreign language. Undoubtedly, verbal communication is possible only in the presence of language competence. However, removing only the language barrier does not automatically lead to a full-fledged foreign language communication. Rapid growth of international relations puts an increasing number of communicators in need of overcoming not only linguistic, but also cultural and mental barriers. Vocabulary teaching as an integral part of communicative and systemic aspects of foreign language learning is featured. Communication – based techniques of mastering lexical material are proposed. Mastering the purpose of the word, the conceptual functioning of lexical material is aimed at achieving adequate implementation of communicative intent. Useful for the formation and improvement of communication skills is the method of enriching the vocabulary of students by providing synonymous series with an explanation of the difference of meaning. Thus, learning a foreign language is communicatively oriented, so the leading component of the four-single complex of goals is the mastery of language skills for foreign language communication, taking into account its intention, addressee and conditions. Further development of tools and techniques for the formation of components of communicative competence will continue to be relevant in teaching foreign languages to students of non-language higher education institutions, that opens up opportunities for scientific and creative research.
