Experiencia interdisciplinar en humanidades: propuesta de intercomunicación entre la mitología clásica y la enseñanza del inglés - [Interdisciplinary practice in humanities: a proposal for the intercommunication of classical mythology and English language teaching]

Abstract

- The subjects that are contemplated in a degree study plan should not be conceived in isolation, neither in terms of their contents nor in their methodologies. In this study we describe a practical experience of educational innovation whose aim has been to develop an interdisciplinary approach in which students have been able to apply and interrelate the knowledge acquired in three subjects: English I, Classical Mythology and European Culture, and Strategies for the Learning of Modern Languages in the Degree in Modern Languages (2020-2021) at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The assessment of the tasks carried out by the students showed encouraging results and it could be proved that the contents presented in the three subjects were adequately acquired and activated. The teachers’ positive perceptions were also supported by the students’ opinions, who evaluated this interdisciplinary practice in a positive way.
