2. Purposes
The purpose of studying a foreign language (English)
in the secondary education is for students to obtain
the knowledge needed to participate in certain social
practices of language, both oral and written, in their
own or in a foreign country in contact with native and
non-native speakers of English.
In other words, through the production and
interpretation of a variety of spoken and written texts
– of a quotidian, academic and literary nature –,
students will be able to satisfy basic communication
needs in a range of familiar situations.

3. Purposes
There are two levels of central contents
in this programme:
a) the participation in a variety of social practices
of the language for the interpretation and
production of texts; and
b) the specific linguistic contents, stated in terms
of functions of the language.

4. Purposes
By the end of secondary education, students will
have engaged in three main types of social
practices of the language:
 Carrying out certain basic transactions, such as
buying and selling things or ordering food and
drink;
 Giving and obtaining factual information of a
personal (name, age, interests) and non-personal
kind (dates, places, times);
 Establishing and maintaining social contacts by
exchanging information, views, feelings and
personal wishes, amongst others.

11. REFLECTION ON LANGUAGE
this is a stage for students to conduct
reflective observation of language, which
means that students themselves must try
to make sense of how language works.
By doing so, students move to a stage of
abstract conceptualisation, in which they
make generalisations about language.
The teacher should seek to promote and
guide reflection, and redirect it when
necessary.”

12. My three-year-old brother, who had been
playing outside all morning, came into the
kitchen, begging for a snack. I gave him a
slice of bread and peanut butter. Holding
the bread carefully in both hands, he
started to leave, but when he reached the
closed kitchen door, a puzzled expression
came over his face. He was too small to
open the door without using both hands
to turn the door knob.
After a moment’s consideration, he found a
solution.

13. 1. Find 4 words or phrases referring to
food.
2. Find 2 time phrases or expressions
3. Find 3 phrases denoting going
to/from a place
4. Find 4 complete phrases in the
paragraph with a verb ending in –ing

15. • What kind of activities does the program had?
• Habitual frequenctly conducted in class,regardless of
what the specific teaching points are.
• Ongoing are longer projects that the teacher and
lerners engage in so as to extend language practices
and to consolidate the sense of group. In agreement
with students, the teacher culd decide to produce a
school newspaper, to read a book , to research into
a specific topic, etc. Some time should be put aside
every week for the development of these activities.

Strategic competence: Compensation strategies that students will develop in order to
repair communication breakdowns. These strategies are not directly linked with any
particular language functions because they are aimed at helping communication flow.
Therefore, they should be put into practice during lessons, rather than ´formally taught´as
independent contents. Strategies should gradually move from non-verbal to verbal in
response to better knowledge of the language.
