Minciencias Classification: A
The interdisciplinary group GLOTTA, from the School of Languages at the Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS), considers didactics to be one of the pillars of teacher education. The members of the group seek to ensure that research in the disciplinary areas (linguistics, literature, and languages) strengthens the didactic reflections that are essential to the training of teachers in the northeastern region of Colombia.
GLOTTA began its academic activities toward the end of 2009 and has Student Research Groups led by specialists in Didactics, Discourse and Image Analysis, Literature, Cultural Studies, and Translation. The group has initiated its outreach activities at the UIS Library and in public schools that have teaching practice agreements with the School of Languages.
