ECLECTIC METHODOLOGY

MARÍA GARCÍA FLORENCIANO Y JUAN MUÑOZ LÓPEZ 17

It has been a fundamental methodological principle of the Council of Europe that the methods to be employed in language learning, teaching and research are those considered to be most effective in reaching the objectives agreed in the light of the needs of the individual learners in their social context. Effectiveness is contingent on the motivations and characteristics of the learners as well as the nature of the human and material resources which can be brought into play. Following this fundamental principle through necessarily results in a great diversity of objectives and an even greater diversity of methods and materials.

FINAL TASK

La clase se dividirá en 2 grupos. En cada grupo habrá 2 entrevistadores y 2 o 3 candidatos. Preparación

Además de la hoja de trabajo y los enlaces proporcionados en nuestra última clase, puedes usar estos enlaces para ayudarte a preparar la simulación. Candidatos: Realmente quieres conseguir este trabajo. Prepara una presentación oral de tu experiencia, formación y cualidades (puedes mentir y exagerar todo lo que quieras). Debes prepararte también para las posibles preguntas de los entrevistadores. http://www.gipe.ua.es/orientacion-laboral/consejos-superar-entrevista-trabajo.html

http://www.spanishpodcast.org/podcasts_con_transcripcion/84T.html

Entrevistadores: Eres el responsable de ir marcando la estructura de la entrevista: saludo y presentación, entrevista (preguntas sobre formación, experiencia, personalidad), cierre (descripción de las condiciones del puesto y posibles preguntas del candidato), despedida. http://www.laboris.net/static/em_reclutar_claves-entrevista.aspx http://www.spanishpodcast.org/podcasts_con_transcripcion/84T.html

Desarrollo Los entrevistadores dispondrán de un máximo de 8 minutos para entrevistar a cada candidato. Tras entrevistar a los candidatos, tendrán unos 3 minutos para comparar impresiones, seleccionar a uno de ellos y comunicar su decisión, de manera argumentada, a los candidatos. Mientras un grupo lleva a cabo las entrevistas, los miembros del otro grupo actuarán como observadores y tomarán notas de la simulación en la ficha.
