Our current Curriculum Design and Constructivism

1. Our Curriculum Design for EPB “Murdering the Innocents” (Dickens)

2. Our Curriculum Design for EPB Learning of a Foreign Language Vygotsky and Bruner

3. Vygotsky = Piaget = Behaviorism children are born into a social world and, because of that, learning occurs through interaction with other people : we make our own sense of the world from the time of their birth, children learn independently by exploring their environment adults are responsible for shaping children’s learning by the judicious use of rewards or comments , as well as routines

4. Interaction with other people Language culture is transmitted thinking develops learning occurs interaction = between people with different levels of, in our case, communicative competence to advance in our ZPD

5. Bruner LAD to acquire culture through language Through good-directed activities Adult is a model and a partner, fine-tuning language LASS (it contains the LAD) + scaffolding
