Nuevas tareas para el profesor de Español como lengua extranjera: La reflexión sobre su concepción de la enseñanza

Abstract

Some years ago, the student-centered programs caused part of the debate related to the teaching of foreign languages to focus on the new role of the teacher. The introduced methodological changes have made the work of the teacher much more complex and resulted to a discussion on how to develop the teacher competences in order to allow tackling the new tasks. This paper aims to review some of the changes and to discuss the reflective teaching and enrich professional knowledge by making teachers aware of the learning-teaching process conception.
