Dissertation Title: Analizar y comprender la comprender la topografía configuracional de los materiales de enseñanza de lenguas en perspectiva de síntesis: Aplicación a los manuales para la enseñanza general de E/LE a adultos
This study has been intended to investigate whether it is possible to establish a methodology that will allow both teachers and language teaching institutions to audit a wide range of type of teaching materials by applying a common frame of reference to all of them.
It is with aim that the subsequently undertaken research has comprehended three main areas: a) the update and analysis of the bibliography specialised in subjects related to teaching materials, their study and professional management; b) the design and trialing of a computer tool for the analysis of materials; c) the application of this tool to a corpus of 500 instructional samples extracted from a selection of teaching materials representative of five methodological approaches.
The practice stage of the investigation has produced more than 70,000 data, which have been subjected to several statistical tests. The results of these tests have provided encouraging arguments, which seem to confirm the validity of the proposed hypothesis.
