The primary objective is to portray how methodological principles from different language teaching approaches (such as task based language teaching and cooperative learning) can be combined effectively in designing activities for face-to-face contexts. In this regard, empirical evidence is analysed in order to determine the effectiveness of the mixed methodology in the teaching-learning of Spanish as a Foreign Language in the said settings, in a study based on a longitudinal experimental design with pre-test and post-test, but without control group. The results show an increase in the acquisition of specific knowledge in Spanish as a Foreign Language. It is therefore proposed that mixed methodological models be integrated and implemented when designing Teaching Modules for Language Learning, since they are the most suitable for Second and Foreign Language Acquisition PB Cádiz: Universidad de Cádiz, Servicio de Publicaciones SN 1133628x YR 2011 FD 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z LK http://hdl.handle.net/10498/15363 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10498/15363 LA eng DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Cádiz RD 22-sep-2026
