PREVIOUS REQUIREMENTS

Despite being in the 1st semester, MALL is an advanced subject. As such, the student is expected to have introductory knowledge and certain experience in CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning). If the student has not had the opportunity to experiment with CALL systems/tools in the past, s/he is encouraged to study the introductory subject on CALL which forms part of the syllabus of this master too (in Spanish: Introducción a la ELAO). It is also expected that the student will have access to a mobile device (preferably a smartphone) and have average usage skills.

Also, this subject will be taught and learnt in English. The course reading materials and study guides will be all in this language, which will also be used in the forums and the rest of the communication tools. Unless explicitly agreed with the teacher, all the learning activities and assignments will also take place in English. Therefore, it is fundamental that students have a B2 level for reading and writing in this language. It must be emphasized, however, that the English competence level will not be subject of evaluation or count neither positively nor negatively.
