Aproximación teórica y práctica a un curso de EFE de farmacia

Abstract

In this work we make a suggestion for the development of a Spanish language course for pharmacists or students of Pharmacy whose first language is not Spanish. With the objective of supporting teachers in this demanding task, we provide some guidelines for planning and developing the course, as well as some ideas on how to classify didactic resources. The analysis of the learners’ needs is the starting point and once they, along with the learners’ expectations, have been established, it is possible to select the most appropriate learning materials. We also propose a collaborative role between teacher and learners which involves them actively in the complex process of language acquisition. The practical part of this piece is an example of a unit, based on the initial theoretical analysis. This example will ideally be a launch point for future work in this area.
