Description of the Bilingual modality

In the bilingual modality of the FEPTS Degree of primary education, students will be able, on the one hand, to profoundly learn and teach the English language, and on the other, prepare to teach any area of the curriculum in English in their future as teachers, as required in many primary schools today.

Advantages of studying Bilingual

  • Realization of an integrated learning of the English language in different subjects.
  • Acquisition of the entry in English.
  • To improve the professional preparation in the necessary competences to exercise teacher/a.
  • Check if the chosen profession and training is the most suitable for the person.
  • To promote job access in completing training.

Student commitments

  • The internationalization of studies is a very important aspect of the Bilingual Plan, since it guarantees a period of immersion in another country where the student has to use the English language as a vehicle language, both outside and within the academic environment. The Faculty recommends students of this plan to spend a semester or annual stay in one of the university centers with which the Faculty has an agreement, within the Erasmus and Mobility Programs of the UdL. In addition, the Bilingual Plan involves the completion of the 3rd year internship abroad, a mandatory stay that may also be managed as Erasmus-Studies or within the Mobility Plan, and for which students may apply for different complementary grants.
  • Students of the Bilingual modality must take the Mention in English for fourth year. More information in the degree curriculum: https://www.educacioprimaria.udl.cat/en/pla-formatiu/pla-estudis-guies-docents/
  • The student can also make a second mention with a request to the Vice-Chancellor responsible for undergraduate studies, who has to solve it with a previous report of the/the head of studies of the center. The second mention must be taken before the end of the degree in Primary Education.
