Abstract:

One of the problems that a professor at University can find is the lack of overall language proficiency of students. Not all subjects have the right framework and planned objectives to work on these aspects, so that problem is often left to linguistics subjects, in case they exist in the curriculum of the degree.
One of the skills required by the European Space of Higher Education is the ability to work in team. Our lecturers research group has experienced a team methodology for the study of something individual: improving their own spelling. The process is cooperative: each team member specializes in a section of Spanish spelling, working it carefully with their counterparts from other expert groups of the class and moving their findings to the rest of their peer group origin, while receiving input from the different sections worked for others.
The results have been satisfactory in several aspects, fact which demonstrates the suitability of the method and its effectiveness: it motivates students and achieves optimization of resources.
