The Master's Degree in Bilingual Education and ICT (MUEBTIC) addresses the need in our society of training teachers in a bilingual instruction model. It provides the necessary tools to integrate the development of the communicative competence in English and the use of multi-methodology teaching approaches across different subjects to effectively address the teaching and learning process of non-linguistic disciplines. Furthermore, it addresses another crucial skill for 21st-century teachers: the efficient use of digital tools for education and the acquisition of independent strategies for continuous professional development in this field.
The educational objectives of this master's program respond, therefore, to tangible and real continuing professional development needs for qualified professionals in Early Childhood and Primary Education, both for initial teacher training and for ongoing professional development:
