The Communicative Training of the Spanish Literature Student in Cuba

Abstract

The formation of the student from education majors requires a personalized attention of the attainment of the quality of the graduate, so as to respond to the changes and transformations demanded by society at present. For this reason, the communicative formation of the student of Spanish–Literature education major gains a paramount significance because the future teacher should be a linguistic model for his/her students. Therefore, not always the students enrolling in higher education have an adequate communicative competence, as observed in their participation in different activities, the interview and the defense of their project works. At the same time, the consulting of the ruling documents of this education major shows that the didactic orientation of the oral discourse is not achieved in the teaching activities. Thus, the objective of the research is to elaborate a methodology for the communicative formation of the student. The application of the methodology during two academic years have made possible the implementation of indicators to evaluate the students’ oral discourse in the contexts where they interact, showing a higher qualitative and quantitative change in their communicative formation.
