After completing this, students will be able to programme teaching actions to teach Physical Education through English in Pre-School and Primary Education.

The subject will be taught entirely in English. Students are expected to have a B1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for the Languages.

The subject comprises both in-class teaching and autonomous learning, whose control will be made through the university’s virtual campus. In-class teaching will mostly consist of interactive sessions which include theory and practice in all its contents. Students’ participation is therefore a must both in the classroom and in the preparation of individual and group tasks. The following table shows the distribution of the different teaching modalities:

Exceptionally, should health conditions require it, teaching activities may be carried out online. Should this be the case, students will be duly notified about the changes effected.
