Tesis de Máster del año 2009 en eltema Didáctica - Español, Nota: 1,0, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Materia: Máster TICOM, Idioma: Español, Resumen: En este trabajo, de carácter teórico, se reflexionará sobre algunas teorías principales en la enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras. El objetivo de este trabajo es ver si tales teorías resultan de utilidad y si es así, en qué grado para el aprendizaje de la cortesía, fenómeno en el que se pone especialmente de manifiesto la máxima según la cual la adecuación pragmática es tan importante en el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera como el conocimiento del código de la propia lengua. Se abordará también el concepto de cortesía con ejemplos de definiciones del término y concluyendo con una propia. Asimismo, se presentará la historia del término y la evolución de teorías sobre la cortesía. Junto a las teorías lingüísticas y a las teorías de aprendizaje también se darán orientaciones didácticas con la descripción de la cortesía en la enseñanzaaprendizaje del español/LE. Tal efecto, se analizarán a modo de ejemplo lo que sobre el tema se ha señalado tanto el Nivel Umbral como el Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las lenguas.This critical essay of a theoretical character reflects some principal theories of foreign language teaching and language learning. It aims to see which of the theories are useful in the classroom and in particular to what degree they can be used when learning politeness. Politeness is a phenomenon which shows the maxim according to which pragmatic adequacy is as important in foreign language learning as the knowledge about the language¿s code. The concept of politeness will also be discussed with various definitions of the term at the end of which the author will present her own defintion. The history of the term and the development of politeness theories will be presented as well. Apart from linguistic and language learning theories, didactic orientations will also be given along with a description of politeness in learning and teaching Spanish as a foreign language. The Threshold Level and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages will serve as examples of how politeness is presented there.

Examination Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,0, University of Duisburg-Essen (Department of Anglophone Studies), language: English, abstract: This critical essay investigates the acquisition of phonology. It is amazing how rapidly children develop in the first years of their lives. The acquisition of their mother tongue is especially fascinating because it is such a complex process. Not only the linguistic code has to be fully acquired but also all its rules and norms. That is, apart from the language¿s phonology, morphology, syntax, lexis and semantics, ¿ constituting the code of every language ¿pragmatic rules are also important for the daily use and the full dominance of a language. This essay focuses on the most basic field, phonology, and explains how a child acquires the target language¿s phonology. Although the stages of the acquisition process are described generally since they are universal and hold true for all children independently of their mother tongue, the attention is on the English phonology in particular. First language acquisition in general is an important topic, not only for linguists. To have knowledge about it also helps the parents to raise children, especially in bilingual situations. I, myself, consider it very useful to write about such a topic as one can learn to understand what and how many stages and steps are actually involved. If we know how it works, perhaps we may also understand why children initially make errors or quite unusual utterances or even extraordinary sounds (in the pre-language stages) while acquiring the native language. The essay will provide information about the whole acquisition process. However, the main focus will be on the first four to six years.
