• MetodologiaMethodology

  The sessions will be predominantly practical, although there is a whole set of theoretical orientations which should precede the exercises. The methodology will therefore be based on the following strategies: a) diagnosing and sensitizing activities; b) explanation of aspects and strategies that might enhance and develop students’ performance; c) resolution of questions and correction of frequent mistakes; d) the completion of oral and written activities in order to apply recently acquired knowledge and strategies.
