Aspectos metodológicos AICLE

En los aspectos relacionados con la metodología AICLE  partimos de la base de la interacción del alumnado con el profesorado, esta cooperación es más intensa e  importante al impartir los contenidos en los códigos de L1 y L2.
Debemos facilitar tanto el contenido como el contexto con tareas y recursos que nos lleven a la creación del andamiaje. 

 El trabajo de forma individual y en grupo nos permitirá  avanzar en un aprendizaje más interactivo y autónomo a lo largo de tiempo.  La introducción de los recursos digitales aporta una variedad más enriquecedora y activa, este paso se nota en cuanto se avanza en los contenidos que pasan a ser más interactivos para el alumnado y también para el profesorado. Una metodogía muy práctica y evolutiva se desarrolla a través de la combinación de las  TICs y TAC's adaptadas al grupo.
