ABOUT THE

Program

The Master’s Degree in Didactics of the Language of the UIS trains highly qualified educators to make didactic decisions that favor language learning. To achieve this, the program is based on three axes that constitute its curricular design:

  • Training in the mastery of pedagogy and didactics, which involves the theoretical and methodological training of the educator in the understanding of the dynamics of learning around the mother, second or foreign language.
  • Training in applied research to improve the conditions and qualities of mediation in language teaching.
  • Training in the mastery of scientific analysis of language in relation to language and culture.

Qualified registration: Resolución No. 5898 del 7 de junio de 2019 del Ministerio de Educación Nacional (MEN), validity for 7 years.

APPLICANT

Profile

.

Applicants to this in-depth training program must necessarily assume the stages of cognitive, procedural and attitudinal profiling in the investigative and in-depth nature, not only of didactics and linguistics, but also of social sciences and educational sciences articulated in an analysis of needs located in real environments.

The Graduate Programs Advisory Committee (CAPP) of the School of Languages may authorize the admission of professionals trained in sciences other than language and education, depending on the results of the admission tests and the correspondence of the graduate’s profile with the applicant’s interests.
