Nеw Innovative Curricula Proposal based on Expanded Education: Applying Multiple Contexts Learning to Foreign Language Teaching

Abstract

These learning processes are acquired through exploration and active interaction among users of a social community where the ‘soft skills’ are used to achieve both, the interpersonal daily survival and/or professional purposes. Likewise, the educational system for language teaching neither seems to be prepared to recognise and/or validate these skills inherent to any linguistic community permeated with its specific sociocultural nuances. So far, this learning have been assigned with new concepts such as permanent, Ubiquitous or informal, etc., and have proved to be essential for understanding the new form of education and the new teaching values. As well as the new learning styles have found their unlimited possibilities with technological progress and communication advances, which allow the opening to new horizons and forms of learning that should also be validated in the curricula.
