b) Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: students must be able to design and develop teaching activities using the principles and methodologies typical of language teaching, also taking into account the needs of language enhancement and consolidation.
c) Making judgments: students must be able to identify and classify errors of interference, of analogy, of overextension.
d) Communication skills: students must be able to discuss syllabuses, to clearly and effectively explain the main rules that govern the language, and the characteristics of mistakes made by learners
e) Learning skills: students must be able to orient themselves in the bibliography and to deepen theoretical and practical elements
