Summary
The relationship between literature, values education and nature is deep and meaningful. Through their interrelation, it is possible to offer a comprehensive approach to promote critical thinking, empathy, respect for the environment and the formation of individuals more aware and committed to ethics, the environment and society. This, in a first theoretical section, a review is made on the increasingly present need to bring children closer to nature, approaching Richard Louv's nature deficit, which serves as a starting point and lever for change in the face of this reality. Likewise, an analysis of education in values and literature as a didactic resource is carried out. Next, in the practical section, a literary path is elaborated with the aim of providing families and future teachers with training for the environment, in the environment and in favour of education in values, in an experiential way through learning situations in which literary works are presented to work on education in values. Equality, inclusion, coeducation, environmental education and art are words that define this proposal and with which we will give meaning to new ways of connecting with nature and other realities.

Summary
We live in a world that suffers environmental deterioration caused by human activity. This disconnection between societies and nature increases with the traditional education received, which focuses on intellectual development, limiting itself to closed spaces and neglecting the subjective dimension of people. Given this context, the question arises of how a more respectful link with nature could be established, starting with the individual himself as a starting point. Therefore, it is considered crucial to start from education. In this Master's Thesis, the implications of being, or not being, in contact with nature are analyzed and the theoretical foundations of somatic education and experiential learning are explored. The bibliographic review supports the importance of an education that promotes interaction with nature, learning through direct experience, reflection and body awareness, highlighting its impact in both the social and environmental spheres. As a result, an educational activity in natural environments is proposed, which seeks to promote people's contact with nature and with themselves through experience. By adopting a non-formal approach, this proposal could be applicable to various audiences and contexts, adapting its content according to specific needs. Ultimately, it is hoped that this proposal will contribute to cultivating a more harmonious link between society and the natural environment.

Summary
This Master's Thesis focuses on the relevance of spontaneity in human development and its impact on nature education. Based on the ideas of Emanuele Coccia, it is argued that life is a continuous process of metamorphosis that involves all organisms in an interdependent network. The research examines how spontaneity, seen as an intrinsic force of nature, can be integrated into education to foster the adaptability and holistic growth of individuals. Spontaneity stands out as an essential ability to respond creatively and flexibly to changing situations, allowing personal and collective transformation. The methodology includes a comprehensive review of philosophical, psychological, and educational literature, with emphasis on psychodrama and wilderness pedagogy. Psychodrama, developed by Jacob Levy Moreno and described by Guillermo Boria, is used as a tool to facilitate spontaneity and creativity through action and dramatization. Additionally, the works of Henri Bergson and Vinciane Despret are examined to delve deeper into the relationship between spontaneity and transformation. The results show that spontaneity is essential for the comprehensive development of the human psyche, body and spirit. Integrating spontaneity into nature education can foster more resilient and flexible individuals. Additionally, developing a greater connection with nature facilitates a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of life and the importance of adaptability.

Summary
This Master's thesis presents an innovative didactic proposal aimed at the first year of ESO and effectively applied in the subject of Biology and Geology during the Practicum II. The aim is to involve students in making informed and responsible decisions about the environmental impact of different diets, especially those based on animal products. To this end, active methodologies are used, such as classroom debate, which seek to develop argumentation and critical thinking skills, as well as to improve knowledge about the environmental impact of food by addressing the socio-scientific issue of climate change. The result is deeper and more meaningful learning, where students apply the knowledge acquired to develop their own well-founded arguments, participating in possible actions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change.

Summary
Critical thinking can be defined as a form of logical thinking that enables decision-making based on analysis, reflection and synthesis of available information in an autonomous manner. Its importance in the education system lies in the need to train citizens with a critical and reflective mindset, capable of analysing their environment and making decisions accordingly. In the field of nutrition, this way of thinking is necessary to detect hoaxes and deal with the over-information which we are exposed to, especially during the already vulnerable period of adolescence. Currently being one of the main objectives of education in the field of science, the teaching of critical thinking can take different approaches and must include certain dimensions, among them: argumentation, vision of science, analysis of information, decision-making and communication, are necessary for its development. The elaboration of this didactic proposal is based on a methodology in which students play an active role in their learning process, with activities from a CTSA approach based on cooperative work, dialogue between peers and the use of ICT.

Summary
The possible installation of offshore wind farms off the Galician coast offers a relevant, multidisciplinary and topical controversy for Galician students and it is possible to take advantage of it to develop critical thinking (CT) in the classroom. With this controversy as a central theme, two didactic proposals were designed to promote the development of critical thinking and to provide teachers with tools for its implementation in the 3rd ESO Physics and Chemistry classroom. Both proposals include introductory activities that provide students with the necessary knowledge to develop CT and express it through well-argued reasoning. The first proposal includes the preparation and development of a role-playing game in which a meeting between the different groups affected by the installation of an offshore wind farm off the Galician coast is represented. On the second proposal, it is proposed the analysis of newspaper articles from different sources that show biased perspectives on the controversy in question. It is expected that after carrying out these proposals, students will acquire the necessary skills, dispositions and knowledge to think critically, such as argumentation based on evidence or inference, and thus be able to exercise a more conscious and active citizenship.

Summary
This Master's Thesis tackles the dispersion of invasive species in the context of climate change and globalization, highlighting the importance of addressing this issue in education as a means to prepare future generations about this environmental challenge. The objectives of this research were to assess the knowledge and prior ideas that students have regarding the topic and to design a didactic proposal that improves the learning of these concepts. To achieve this, the proposal was applied in a classroom of 13 students in their second to last year of high school studying Biology, Geology, and Environmental Sciences. Pre-test and post-test assessments, debates, and scientific poster presentations were used to analyze the evolution of their knowledge. After observing the results, it appears that the proposal improved students' understanding of biodiversity and invasive species, as well as their ability to relate these concepts to climate change and globalization

Summary
This Master's thesis investigates the teaching of the didactic unit Health and Illness using active methodologies such as the scientific method and self-discovery. In order to carry out the research and analyse the data, previous ideas questionnaires and final ideas questionnaires were used to analyse the differences between the two. The results of the research, both quantitative and qualitative, suggest that the use of these active methodologies during the sessions improves the results of the teaching-learning process, although some misconceptions persist in the final questionnaires about key concepts related to the immune system and disease transmission. This work, developed in the framework of the Practicum II, highlights the importance of strengthening the understanding of health and disease, as well as improving students' written communication skills in this specific context. The results suggest the relevance of adopting active pedagogical approaches to promote meaningful learning in the field of health and biology.

Summary
One of the functions of tutorial action is to facilitate the integration of pupils in their class group into the school dynamic as a whole. This is regulated by current Spanish educational regulations, Organic Law 3/2020, of 29 December, which modifies Organic Law 2/2006, of 3 May, on Education, and Royal Decree 217/2022, of 29 March, which establishes the organisation and minimum teaching of Compulsory Secondary Education. On the other hand, the tutoring class is a time in which many subjects can be worked on, and it is a time when the whole group is together. Currently, inclusive education and attention to diversity is one of the fundamental principles that governs our education system, so working on these aspects in the classroom is an essential quality factor, and the tutorial class is an opportunity to do so in a cross-cutting way. The aim of this work is to find out and explain how the tutorial function favours and promotes attention to diversity and inclusive education at the compulsory secondary education stage.

Summary
This Master's Final Project aims to be a conceptual basis for the projection and establishment of an early childhood educational center in nature (forest school) in the Latin American context and in particular Uruguay. The justification for this choice responds to two main reasons. On the one hand, the student's professional inclination for early childhood education in nature and the desire to delve deeper into this methodology in its different approaches. On the other hand, the fact of coming from Uruguay and from a formal educational work context where early childhood education initiatives in nature are scarce. This implies a special motivation to plan the establishment of a forest school in this country. The work is divided into two main areas that respond in general terms to disciplinary aspects: on the one hand, the aspect linked to pedagogy and the area of education and on the other, the legal and economic area. With respect to the educational conceptual line, the pedagogical, ethical and philosophical lines of education in nature are investigated and deepened, as well as its development in history and the geographical points where greater theory is generated in this regard. In the second area, economic and legislative parameters will be established to implement an educational institution of this type in Uruguay according to current educational laws. The work methodology will be based on: bibliographic research, bringing together authors who deal with the topic of education in nature and in particular the pedagogy, philosophy and benefits of this type of education. The viability of a project of these characteristics in the context of Uruguay is presented as a question, taking into account all the variables raised above.

Summary
Place-Based Pedagogy is an alternative to 21st century education, focusing on the interrelationship between community, school and environment. Throughout this Master’s Thesis we will verify the benefits that would bring to develop the school curriculum through proposals related to Place-Based Education, in this way children would learn by doing in their immediate environment; we must not forget that space is an educating agent. In the societies of the 21 st century, we could say that Environmental Education has some definitions that are too limiting. On the other hand, Place- Based Education goes a step further, placing value on the connection with the real world, the formulation of hypotheses, doubts or problem solving, among others. In this way, children will acquire sustainable habits and respect for the planet. What we intend with this Master’s Thesis is to conduct a literature review on Place- Based Education. With the objective of designing an education intervention proposal for children, based on the study of a specific environment. Through the design of artistic proposals, we will check if the students know the neighborhood of their school or not.

Summary
This Master’s Thesis aims to present the enchanted paths as an appropriate educational resource for learning about a place’s history in the Primary Education stage. For this, it has been carried out, on the one hand, an information search process about the Galician mythology, related to education, nature and literature; and the cultural and literary tourism, directly linked to the literary routes and enchanted paths. On the other hand, the design of a didactic proposal is presented that aims to fill gaps such as the limited presence of theatre in the formal education field or the nonexistence of enchanted mythological paths in Galicia. Finally, some final conclusions are presented that answer the initial research questions and the weaknesses of the proposed path are exposed.

Summary
Although mythology is part of the literature, its transmission is increasingly scarce and is lost from generation to generation. In ancient times, mythology gave meaning to the world and cycles, based on fables and the power of beings over natural phenomena. All these beliefs have been part of the Basque culture, closely linked to nature. In order to give value and preserve these legends, this paper presents a mythological conference for the public from 9 to 12 years old. A scape route will be prepared in the Navarre Prepyrenees, specifically between the Baztan Valley (Navarra) and Banca (Aquitaine, France). Along the route, the audience will find various legends through messages written by the mythological characters. They will offer them various challenges that they will have to overcome through communicative, motor and orientative ability, in order to reach the next track and escape the dangers and threats that are named in the letters. In addition, this route adds value to the reading experience, as it participates from the recreation of contexts and the connection with the places that inspired the legends. Therefore, experiential learning is one of the pillars of this day.

Summary
With urbanization, people are moving further and further away from nature. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, parents, educators, and politicians in China stress the importance of outdoor activities. Nature education in China is in its early stages, while in many countries it is already more developed. Based on international practices and philosophies on nature education, we can explore the limitations, characteristics, advantages, and future development of this educational model in China. First, we need to understand the advanced theories and current status of nature education practices internationally, which will provide us with a framework to critically analyse the practices in China. Next, we review the historical development of nature education in China and reflect on its obstacles and disadvantages. Finally, we select three typical cases: two forestry schools in rural areas and an urban school focusing on children's outdoor play in nearby natural environments. We use the SWOT tool to critically analyse these three representative cases. The purpose of this study is to reveal the specific challenges and successes faced by these schools in implementing nature education and to analyze the effectiveness of their strategies and approaches.

Summary
Over time the relationship between human beings and the physical and natural environment with which they relate changed. These changes meant that today many people, including girls and boys of different ages, grow up in denaturalized contexts. Is a change in society's perception and relationship with nature necessary? In this Master's Thesis, the origin of a biophobic society is analyzed and contextualized, to verify the changes in lifestyle and children's games. It also establishes how contact with nature affects cognitive, social, physical and emotional development during childhood; and what are the benefits of this connection. What role does education play in this change? Recently, the methodological approach of green pedagogy appears, which is characterized by allowing the natural environment to be taken into account in any educational intervention. Despite having little experience, it has several theoretical backgrounds, and on a practical level there are also several educational approaches that take into account the physical environment where learning occurs. Some of these models are presented and the specific role that adults have in educational activities in nature is established. In the specific case of the autonomous community of Galicia, there are several initiatives related to nature education for children. Several educational projects are compiled that provide information on the current situation of nature pedagogy in the community.

Summary
This Master's Thesis will focus on the waste generated by humans and abandoned in the natural environment, an action that already has its own term: littering. This document presents the high environmental, social and economic impact that this issue entails, from effects on ecosystems and biodiversity, through health issues and ending with the importance of management. In the theoretical framework, the relationship of this waste with different meanings is sought, demonstrating that littering is a concept that is intertwined with a variety of issues and problems. It will try to identify and analyze different sources of waste generated by humans, from plastic waste to organic waste, emphasizing the rise of textile, electronic and food waste. This waste leads us to address the issues of consumerism and globalization, which are increasingly present, aspects that are in turn closely related to the current economic system itself, which allows us to delve into the exploitation of both humans and natural resources. It also seeks to show and deepen into different ways of combating the central theme, such as environmental education and the circular economy, or by learning about particular cases from different cultures. In addition, the DAEN Master is presented as an opportunity to promote awareness, proposing alternatives and providing resources.

Summary
This Master's Thesis presents an innovative pedagogical proposal for Early Childhood Education based on Philosophy for Children (P4C), aimed at fostering ecological awareness from early ages. The study analyzes the main characteristics of P4C and its impact as an educational methodology, identifying its opportunities and challenges, and seeks to leverage them to promote environmental reflection. The research proposes a series of didactic activities that use the picture book as the main resource, selecting it for its technical and stylistic quality, to promote critical and reflective thinking in children about their natural environment. The proposal includes up to eight activities that introduce children to respect for nature and the importance of philosophical dialogue, aiming to raise awareness of the value of minimizing environmental impact and fostering ecological responsibility. Additionally, artistic elements are integrated to enrich the educational experience and awaken curiosity towards biodiversity. Each activity is designed to be inclusive and accessible, allowing children to actively participate and develop a deep and respectful connection with their environment. Through this approach, it is hoped to contribute to the formation of a more conscious and committed generation towards environmental sustainability.

Summary
The low performance of students currently registered in Compulsory Secondary Education provokes the need to seek new teaching-learning methodologies to improve this situation driven by teaching based on a traditional methodology. This work presents a case study with students of 2nd ESO in the subject of Physics and Chemistry, in which work is done through inquiry and gamification with the aim of improving their knowledge of kinematics and increasing their motivation and interest in the subject. A qualitative methodology was used, employing direct observation and questionnaires to collect data. Regarding the results, it was possible to appreciate an increase in the participation and enthusiasm of the students when carrying out this type of activities, as well as an improvement in their previous knowledge. This shows that, compared to traditional teaching, the use of innovative methodologies facilitates and improves students' academic performance.

Summary
This Master's thesis focuses on using constructivist and narrative methodologies for teaching biological evolution in a 4th-year Biology and Geology classroom. The objective is, on one hand, to analyze the students' knowledge about evolution and plants, and on the other hand, to improve their learning in these topics, as well as to overcome misconceptions by diversifying the examples used. To achieve this, methodologies including critical reflection and active student participation were used, allowing students to get new knowledge and apply it in new situations. The results show that students have a greater appreciation for plants and a deeper understanding of evolution. Despite the positive outcomes in practical activities, the acquired knowledge is not clearly reflected in the written test, indicating a tendency to memorize rather than reason.

Summary
In recent times there has been an increase in the number of cases of high school students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), for this reason, this work is proposed, with the aim of updating and delving into this problem. For this, a bibliographic review on ADHD was carried out, evaluating its definition, prevalence, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, as well as the current educational legislation in Galicia and Spain. Current educational interventions were also examined to determine the most appropriate ones to develop an intervention plan for a group of 3rd year of ESO in Biology and Geology. The results revealed that ADHD is a neurological developmental disorder with a prevalence of 2.4-3.1%, manifesting between 4 and 12 years of age. The relevant Spanish legislation is outlined in article 73 of Organic Law 3/2020, and in Galicia, in DECREE 229/2011. Three groups of educational interventions were identified: behavioral, academic, and self-regulatory. It is suggested to combine activities from these groups to effectively integrate students with ADHD. A theoretical eight-week intervention plan was also proposed, with the expectation of obtaining good results if implemented.

Summary
With this work, it is intended to establish an educational innovation in the classroom, within the context of IES Ramón Menéndez Pidal school in A Coruña. The innovation involves conducting a class by proposing an interactive activity using the Classcraft application, which allows for the gamification of the classroom by creating characters with a set of skills controlled by a teacher, facilitating role exchange in the classroom. To assess the efficiency of the activity, a quantitative and qualitative questionnaire is proposed to observe the degree of satisfaction of students with the activity and its relevance in the educational system, with the aim of evaluating the educational innovation. On the other hand, a significant disparity in responses is observed among students based on their age range. Younger individuals felt more comfortable with the implementation of this educational innovation due to their better handling of new technologies, as opposed to older individuals who feel more comfortable with a traditional methodology or a combination of both.

Summary
Wetlands are ecological environments of great importance that provide a high number of ecosystem services. In Galicia there are a large number of wetlands, a part of which are within protected areas. The information that exists about them focuses on the description of their biological components and their conservation value, but there are very few documents related to the management of public use. In this work, a diagnosis of the biotic values and existing infrastructures is carried out in one of the main wetlands of Galicia, the Lagoa de Cospeito, as a basis for the proposal of a methodological guide that can serve as a reference for making known the public the values it contains. The principles on which the proposal is based are adaptation to current environmental regulations and the promotion of respect for the natural environment and existing infrastructure (trails, observatories, interpretation centers) among the public who visit this space. This is intended to cover, as far as possible, the existing gap in documents of this type, developing a proposal that can be used as an example for teachers and professional guides who develop activities aimed at different types of users within protected areas.

Summary
The development of information and communication technologies (ICT) has generated a true revolution that has transformed our current society, with education being one of the areas where it has had the greatest influence. The use of ICT in education facilitates and improves the teaching process. ICT in the educational process should be an opportunity to innovate and enhance their work based on the multiple functionalities provided by these technologies, with the teacher being the key player in their implementation. Currently, teachers face a series of challenges in order to get the most out of new technologies and to innovate during teaching, thus making them a good tool for achieving motivation and enthusiasm on the part of students.

Summary
Vocational training plays a fundamental role in the economic development of any country, so it is essential that it is of quality to respond to the challenges imposed by globalization, the constant changes in our society, the changes in the world of work, digitization, etc. The challenges that Vocational Training must currently face include, among others, the need for a change in the pedagogical model. This master’s Thesis shows a proposal for a didactic intervention for the operation and maintenance of wind farms module of Superior Technician in renewable energies using the Flipped Classroom pedagogical model. This model allows students to have a more active role in their learning process, encourage critical thinking aimed at problem solving, promote autonomous learning and responsibility, and encourage the use of digital resources and tools. This methodology changes the traditional expository methodology. Instead of receiving a master class from the teacher in the classroom, where the students passively listen to the teacher, the students view the content prepared by the teacher outside the classroom. By having more time in the classroom, the teacher can carry out more activities, apply new methodologies and delve deeper into the content with students.

Summary
The objective of this Master's Thesis is the development of an educational intervention proposal whose main purpose lies in the contribution of the adaptation of the basic, middle and higher cycles of the face-to-face modality to the productive sector. This work presents a proposal for educational intervention of a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature, especially indicated for the middle and higher cycles of the wood, furniture and bark family. For the development of this proposal, active methodologies are used, particularly focused on those most indicated in professional training such as collaborative project-based learning, in order to carry out the execution of a retail interior design project. However, regardless of whether being able to execute it today, the result is the creation of a practical tool that helps to promote the integration of students in the industrial machinery from an innovative point of view, concluding in an improvement of the links between both entities and responding to the competencies demanded by the sector.

Summary
The following work addresses an innovation proposal for the professional Programming module in the Higher Cycle of Web Application Development. The changes that we intend to generate here are based on the learning results, evaluation criteria and contents reflected in the curriculum at the autonomous community level that appears in Decreto 109/2011 and redistribute them to be able to work on subjects and skills in parallel, using a project-based methodology, with a framework known as Scrum, which will provide the teaching-learning process with an environment very similar to that experienced in the development of professional web application software. All this, choosing Java as a programming language and as a cohesive element of everything else. We will see didactic concepts of computing, and within this, programming, and the most common challenges that students face in these subjects. From this data we will extract an analysis and justify the reason for the improvement that we believe this proposal will bring, and we will design a series of activities around it.

Summary
Although, diseases related to psychosocial risks are increasingly recognized there is still a long way to go. In the educational context, stress, professional burnout or emotional work, related to the high workload or the continuous pedagogical changes to which teachers are exposed, also increased. The final objective of this work is to carry out a study and identify and analyse the psychosocial risks present in a secondary school, located in the municipality of A Pastoriza (Lugo), a center with few students, in a quiet rural enclave, and thus try to improve the health of teachers through preventive measures for risks that are susceptible to improvement.

Summary
This study has been designed to analyze and examine the knowledge about ADHD of vocational training teachers and the possible differences attributable to training, years of experience and branch of teaching of the subjects of teachers with this knowledge. Knowledge about the disorder was compared based on whether the teachers had or had not received training on the subject, and knowledge was also compared based on whether the teachers had more or less than six years of professional experience, and depending on whether They taught in subjects of the technical branch or not. Through an adapted questionnaire, the knowledge about ADHD of teaching professionals was measured and compared. It was observed that there were no statistically significant differences in the comparison of groups at a global level, but differences were found in two of the dimensions of the questionnaire, the dimension related to treatment, appreciating that knowledge in relation to treatment is greater in teachers with training in the disorder. And the dimension related to symptoms/diagnosis, distinguishing greater knowledge in this variable among the teachers who taught subjects in the technical branch in relation to the teachers who did not teach subjects in the technical branch. Thus, it seems that, even though the knowledge in both comparisons is acceptable, at least in certain dimensions, it is only observed that it is superior among teachers who have received prior training and teachers who teach subjects in the technical branch. Although teachers have an acceptable level of knowledge about the disorder, more specific training for this group is necessary to provide an effective educational response.

Summary
The Master's thesis presented here consists of a didactic proposal for teaching Francophonie in Compulsory Secondary Education, based on gamification and the use of technology. Firstly, a theoretical review is carried out, which deals, on the one hand, with the application of ICT and CAT in language teaching, and on the other hand, with gamification and game-based learning. Secondly, we design a gamified didactic proposal with educational technologies for the practice of cultural diversity. Finally, this proposal allows us to obtain the real results of its application. Thus, the main objective of the thesis is to show how educational technologies contribute to the design and implementation of gamified didactic proposals that favour the acquisition of linguistic and cultural competences in foreign languages. The results of this proposal show that students obtain a higher level of knowledge about the French-speaking world through the use of technology-based games, thus verifying that the use of educational technologies favours the language teaching and learning process.

Summary
In the 21st century, it is evident that technology is an integral part of the daily life of a large sector of society. Internet, with its vast and almost infinite wealth of content, has become an invaluable source of resources in various fields, including foreign language teaching. The aim of this master's thesis is to present a didactic unit, designed for an Escuela Oficial de Idiomas, in which we use social media as a pedagogical tool for the teaching and learning of FLE (French as a Foreign Language), specifically to discover and explore the diversity of the Francophonie. Social media platforms and the authentic material that can be found on them offer a unique window to explore the multiple facets of the Francophonie and enhance the learning experience of students. In this case, the use of social media can facilitate exposure to a wide range of accents, idiomatic expressions, and cultures present in the Francophonie; this will allow students to develop their language skills and their intercultural competence, thus fostering a deeper and more respectful understanding of cultural diversity within the Francophone sphere.

The TFM, entitled “O Enfoque Cultural na Ensinanza de Linguas Estranxeiras. Análise comparative do temario das oposicións” deals with the significance of training language teachers from an intercultural perspective. The examinations of English, German and French are analysed in order to demonstrate the necessity for the integration of cultural elements, with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) as a point of reference. Subsequently, possible themes are formulated, beginning with an intercultural perspective, and culminating in the assertion that, in an increasingly globalised world, language teaching and cultural education are inextricably linked, promoting a more inclusive and effective learning environment.

For that, after making a bibliographical review that serves as theoretical framework, an analysis of the improvements and/or regressions arising from the implementation of these decrees in the Galician non-university education system will be carried out. This work, therefore, will try to prove that the Galician language continues to reduce its speakers and that the former and the current legislation have not achieved significant improvements in favour of the Galician language.

Summary
This paper explores the impact of native English speakers on the English language acquisition of Spanish students, with an emphasis on students currently attending high school. The primary objective is to assess how the presence of native speakers in various educational settings, such as classroom assistants, private tutors, and external language schools, affects student learning outcomes and what preferences the students may have regarding their teacher’s profile. This research synthesises findings from a comprehensive review of books and scholarly articles, and contrasts these with empirical data on student performance before and after the integration of native speakers into their educational environments. The analysis reveals that the involvement of native speakers may be behind the improvement of students' proficiency in English, particularly in speaking and listening skills. This improvement is attributed, among other aspects, to increased exposure to authentic language use and cultural nuances that native speakers bring into the learning process. This research contributes to the field of second language education by highlighting the possible benefits of native speaker involvement and providing recommendations for educators and policymakers to enhance ESL teaching methodologies.

Summary
Politeness, in pragmatics, is understood as a set of strategies or conversational norms that allow the existence of harmony between hearer(s) and speaker(s) relating to their native culture, since they are primarily used to mitigate situations that may lead to conflict. These strategies can be quite diverse. This TFM is meant to analyse politeness theory, determine that there are differences between the type of politeness used among different communities, focusing on both Spanish-speaking and English-speaking communities, and designing a teaching proposal for possible practical application of politeness theory in classes dedicated to English as a first foreign language in 1st of Bachillerato, including the analysis of a test answered by students of that same year.

Summary
In an increasingly digitalised society, there is a need to include new methodologies based on the use of digital resources. On the other hand, more and more schools are including games as an educational strategy in their programmes. However, what is the student's perspective? The following work studies whether gamified activities are useful for improving oral production in English as a foreign language. For this purpose, an educational proposal based on two gamified activities is implemented: one digital activity (Kahoot) and the other analogue (role-playing game). The data analysed have been extracted from a self-assessment survey answered by 39 students in the 3rd year of E.S.O. In addition, the results of improving the participants' oral skills have been considered. The study results indicate that the students show a positive attitude towards gamification in language learning, especially those activities presented in digital format. In turn, students consider using games as an efficient resource for learning the phonetic aspects of the foreign language. In conclusion, due to its practical nature, gamification allows for improving and developing oral skills in foreign languages.

Summary
This dissertation is focused on answering whether it is possible to teach English in the secondary education system using educational technologies. To create a didactic proposition with which this hypothesis could be proven true, a comprehensive study of the scientific literature, regarding the use in class of ICTs and LKTs, was done. After the information was acquired, we proceeded to design the proposition, which was created to be used in 2ºESO´s English classes with the objective of developing the linguistic, plurilingual and digital competences as established in the 156/2022 Decree. Four platforms and activities (VOKI, LyricsTraining, Padlet and a treasure hunt) were used to develop the main skills necessary to properly use the English language (oral and written production and comprehension), following the gamification and cooperative work methods. Furthermore, we used two questionnaires with which we gathered information regarding their previous experiences with ICTs in class and their opinion of them after the didactic proposition was employed. Their results are contrasted with those acquired from the different exercises (assessed according to the rubric developed by the author of this work). The results were generally positive, reinforcing the notion that technologies can help in English language acquisition.

Summary
Linguistic interferences represent a significant challenge in foreign language teaching, especially in multilingual contexts and situations of language contact. This is particularly relevant in the case of Galician and Portuguese. With this intervention proposal, we aim to offer a strategy to address these interferences, focusing on confronting students with these challenges. To achieve this, authentic materials and cultural aspects will be used, leveraging both direct and inverse translation to highlight the differences and similarities between the two languages. The proposal will also be based on the acquisition of cultural competence, employing Task-Based Learning, linguistic immersion, and Thinking-Based Learning as the methodological pillars that will allow us to explore Lusophone culture while working towards our main objective. Finally, after applying this proposal in a real educational context, the results and their effectiveness will be presented, along with the strengths and weaknesses of the approach.

Summary
Reading comprehension is an essential linguistic skill within any teaching-learning process of a foreign language. Not only does it facilitate the development of other activities such as interaction or mediation, but it also allows access to other unknown varieties. This is the objective that is sought to be achieved by applying the plural approach of intercomprehension to the comprehension of written texts. In this paper, the theoretical foundations of this methodology are initially established, specifically, that of its top-down approach. Subsequently, a didactic proposal is made for 1º BAC students of French as a Foreign Language in which intercomprehension is applied as a strategy aimed at the development of plurilingual and pluricultural competence.

Summary
In 1983, the Law on Linguistic Normalisation in Galicia. A few months later, Decree 135/1983 was published, which developed its application in education. Throughout these forty years of Galician as a vehicular language at non-university levels, a total of four decrees were passed with the aim of guaranteeing the bilingual competence of Galician pupils at the end of compulsory education, as well as contributing to the social recovery of Galician. The aim of this TFM is to observe the sociolinguistic situation in Galicia at the present time (competences, initial language, habitual language, attitudes), after forty years of the presence of the Galician language in public life in Galicia, especially in the educational sphere. To this end, a systematic review of the existing literature and statistical data published in bibliographical sources and in the Instituto Galego de Estatística will be carried out. Despite the presence of Galician in education, the language is losing speakers among the younger generations. It is curious that these are the generations best trained in standard Galician. It is therefore necessary to establish other factors that are influencing the process of language substitution.

Summary
Although the acquisition of grammatical and lexical skills is crucial to the learning of a foreign language, social contexts play a major role in being able to communicate appropriately and effectively. This dissertation has its basis in pragmatics teaching and learning in academic settings. It will include a theoretical base on this branch of linguistics and will be accompanied by a teaching proposal to incorporate a certain area of pragmatics learning in an English classroom at the secondary education level. The aim is to assess students' pragmatic competence in English and infer if different activities would improve such competence. The implementation of this proposal and results will be analyzed by observing the communicative strategies of students and by conducting a survey for them to fill out in order to conclude if the proposal was effective in their understanding and improvement of pragmatics.

Summary
Throughout the learning of a foreign language it is important to develop cultural competences in addition to the linguistic ones. Each area or region of France shows different expressions and styles of speech that reflect the lifestyle of the area. As a result, the use of cinema is advocated. From a linguistic point of view, it serves as a tool to introduce the student to a more realistic French, including the different accents or slang forms that exist around the country. On the other hand, it serves to introduce them to cultural aspects and make them reflect on stereotypes and the relationship between a language and its culture.
