The teaching-learning of foreign languages and their correlation with the age factor from the university of the west indies
Keywords:
didactic improvement, relational perspective, academic dynamics.Abstract
The teaching-learning process of foreign languages in the field of foreign language education in Jamaica, especially at the University of the West Indies undergoes processes of didactic improvement aimed at transforming the methodological approaches adopted by teachers of foreign languages. In this context, the article offers, from a relational standpoint, insights into how foreign language instruction intersects with learners' age within the methodological framework. This ensures that the aforementioned process not only stems from cognitive and intellectual development but also acknowledges the experiential and cultural elements that enhance learning. Work with processes of motivation, construction, systematization, and generalization of linguistic content constitutes dynamics that mobilize and transform the process's object of study. The methods of analysis-synthesis and modeling configure critical and creative thinking for the academic transformation of the directions of methodological work that is modeled.
