Enseñanza-aprendizaje de ELE en los niveles medio y secundario del sistema de enseñanza de Senegal: análisis de los libros de texto y las practicas pedagógicas

Abstract

The present research work is the continuation of my TFM of the Master's Degree in Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) and professional fields carried out at the University of Barcelona between 2010-2012, in which I worked on the subject of teaching- learning of ELE in Senegal: a matter of motivation._x000D_ In this work we intend to deep on the importance of the textbook used by Senegalese teachers and the different methods that have served to teach ELE in this country, which, generally, are far from the so-called communicative approach or the task approach recommended by the MCER, which is unknown by the vast majority of our colleagues._x000D_ Through this research, it is tried to focuse on the main lines of thought that have approached the subject of the teaching-learning of ELE in the middle and secondary levels of the education system of Senegal, as well as in the evolution of the pedagogical methods used in this country. Also, we try to demonstrate the incoherence of textbooks that do not advocate a communicative teaching of languages. For this, we have structured the doctoral thesis in five chapters._x000D_ In the first part, an overview of the main methods that have served to teach Spanish in the Senegalese institutes is presented, and then the different textbooks that were used with each of these methods._x000D_ Next, the critical study is approached from its lexical, grammatical and cultural content of the textbooks used by the students (Sol y Sombra, Horizontes, Gran Via and Encuentro), in particular, from the seconde class (intermediate level of the MCER) that constitutes the transition between the school and the institute. The aim of these books is to provide a variety of content from the lexical to the grammar and through individual and group activities._x000D_ For the latter, we propose in this research to suggest innovative proposals for teachers and designers of manuals aimed at students from sub-Saharan Africa who have a special interest in learning any foreign language through didactic texts, since speech precedes written expression. We also intend to sensitize the Senegalese authorities and the National Commission for the preparation of the programs so that they adopt modern approaches in accordance with the current global trend.
