PRESENTATION 
T introduces the topic by ask some 
questions. 
Ss talk. 
T makes Ss read the aim of the lesson. 
T introduces the topic by modeling the 
language and giving examples and 
writing them on the whiteboard. 
T explains when modal verbs are used. 
T goes back to his examples on the 
board and explains. 
Imagine it’s year 2040, what 
developments do you expect to see 
in mobiles, tvs and computers? 
Ss read the aim. 
I think if mobiles keep growing they 
might become robots and I believe 
that Tv’s will disappear if computers 
make people’s lives better. 
In first conditional we usually use 
the modal verb ‘will’ when we want 
to talk about events that are going to 
happen for sure; then we have 
‘probably will’ for a lower 
percentage of probability; then we 
have ‘may or could’, which indicate 
50% of probability; with a lower 
probability we have might and 
finally we have ‘probably won’t or 
won’t’. 
In my first example I am not sure 
what is going to happen so I used 
might. In my second example I am 
sure of what is going to happen so I 
used will.

b) Apoyos ofrecidos en función de las características de los estudiantes 
c) Orientaciones que emergen de otros factores contextuales identificados en 
el Estándar 1 
Since this unit has a lot of new vocabulary items it was important to choose the most 
suitable way of teaching. As explained in the previous MDD, this group of students has a 
good level of English, they behave well and respect teachers and classmates, so in terms of 
classroom management it is not difficult to have them quiet. This is positive because in most 
schools this is a big issue. 
When teaching vocabulary I tried to make them aware of the meaning of the words. 
According to Lewis (1994) the term meaning in vocabulary is essential because if students 
do not know the meaning of words they are learning, they are not going to be able to 
participate in real conversations, or even in class. In my case there were lots of words students 
already knew, for instance ‘usb’ or ‘username’, but there were some such as ‘podcast’ and 
‘browser’ which they did not know. 
On one hand he suggests that vocabulary is not precisely stored only as individual 
words, but also as phrases and larger chunks, which can be retrieved from memory as a 
whole, reducing in this way the difficulties at the moment of processing. On the other hand, 
he states that learners who tend to learn individual words are going to need more effort and 
time to memorize the word, understand its usage and finally using it to express themselves. 
From this point of view, I tried to contextualise the new items by showing the words in 
sentences and not only by themselves, so students had a clear idea of what the words meant. 
Another issue which I think is relevant is the use of real materials and give real context 
to the content being taught. The material used for the lessons should be real since the 
beginning of the lesson. Learners need to be engaged to what they are going to learn as they 
also expect attractive, meaningful, authentic and didactic material to get involved in the class, 
Moras (2001).
According to Nation (2007) good lessons have included speaking and writing 
activities. The teacher should design speaking and writing activities. This involves written 
or spoken input in the activities that each piece of input contains about English words that 
may be new to the learners. 
Also, as expressed by the teacher, when teaching certain tenses it is useful to make 
learners guess the structure used for the tense, instead of simply showing it on the whiteboard 
or a slide. In this way they can reinforce autonomy in the process of learning and since they 
are going to be the ones who ‘discover’ the structure, they will keep that information in their 
memory for a longer period of time. 
Task 3: 
Reflect on the process followed for planning the lessons, highlighting strengths, 
weaknesses and challenges. 
Orientaciones 
a) De las tareas desarrolladas, ¿qué le resultó más fácil: el diseño de la 
planificación, la elaboración de materiales o la fundamentación de la 
propuesta? ¿Por qué? 
b) Que le resultó más difícil de planificar ¿Por qué se le presentaron esas 
dificultades? ¿Como las enfrentó? Señale consecuencias positivas y 
negativas de las acciones que tomó para enfrentar esas dificultades.
c) Si tuvo estudiantes con mayores necesidades de apoyo docente, ¿qué 
facilidades y dificultades tuvo para la implementación de las actividades de 
aprendizaje? 
Task based lessons are personally the easiest for planning, since they are more 
focused on students work that teachers work and also because learners like these sort of 
activities in which they have to bring materials to the class and work with elements they like 
such as music, food, technology, etc. In this way students feel really engaged to the lesson 
and are able to work positively and without unnecessary distractions that can emerge in any 
other type of lesson. Moreover, as they like what they are doing they keep that new 
knowledge in their long term memory. 
Teaching vocabulary was a bit more complex but still not difficult. Nowadays, learners 
feel close to technology and since the unit has to do with technology and future, lessons are 
easier to carry out in terms of engagement and context. 
Planning a lesson is always a big challenge because the teacher does not know whether 
the lesson will be successful or not, if students are going to be engaged or not, if the computer 
or projector are going to work or not, and lots of other doubts can emerge. One of the hardest 
lessons to plan are those who include tenses since there is a more complex structure in 
comparison with other contents. I tried to follow teacher’s advice by not showing them the 
structure explicitly, but let students find and realise the structure. Several examples in 
sentences or audios are useful for this approach and if necessary double the amount of 
activities and exercises to make sure learners understood.

Ss talk. T makes Ss read the aim of the lesson. T introduces the topic by modeling the language and giving examples and writing them on the whiteboard. T explains when modal verbs are used. T goes back to his examples on the board and explains. Imagine it’s year 2040, what developments do you expect to see in mobiles, tvs and computers? Ss read the aim. I think if mobiles keep growing they might become robots and I believe that Tv’s will disappear if computers make people’s lives better. In first conditional we usually use the modal verb ‘will’ when we want to talk about events that are going to happen for sure; then we have ‘probably will’ for a lower percentage of probability; then we have ‘may or could’, which indicate 50% of probability; with a lower probability we have might and finally we have ‘probably won’t or won’t’. In my first example I am not sure what is going to happen so I used might. In my second example I am sure of what is going to happen so I used will.

  • 63. Task 2: Base the decisions made at the moment of planning the lessons with methodological and context references. Orientaciones: a) Planteamientos didácticos para la enseñanza y aprendizaje de inglés en su nivel b) Apoyos ofrecidos en función de las características de los estudiantes c) Orientaciones que emergen de otros factores contextuales identificados en el Estándar 1 Since this unit has a lot of new vocabulary items it was important to choose the most suitable way of teaching. As explained in the previous MDD, this group of students has a good level of English, they behave well and respect teachers and classmates, so in terms of classroom management it is not difficult to have them quiet. This is positive because in most schools this is a big issue. When teaching vocabulary I tried to make them aware of the meaning of the words. According to Lewis (1994) the term meaning in vocabulary is essential because if students do not know the meaning of words they are learning, they are not going to be able to participate in real conversations, or even in class. In my case there were lots of words students already knew, for instance ‘usb’ or ‘username’, but there were some such as ‘podcast’ and ‘browser’ which they did not know. On one hand he suggests that vocabulary is not precisely stored only as individual words, but also as phrases and larger chunks, which can be retrieved from memory as a whole, reducing in this way the difficulties at the moment of processing. On the other hand, he states that learners who tend to learn individual words are going to need more effort and time to memorize the word, understand its usage and finally using it to express themselves. From this point of view, I tried to contextualise the new items by showing the words in sentences and not only by themselves, so students had a clear idea of what the words meant. Another issue which I think is relevant is the use of real materials and give real context to the content being taught. The material used for the lessons should be real since the beginning of the lesson. Learners need to be engaged to what they are going to learn as they also expect attractive, meaningful, authentic and didactic material to get involved in the class, Moras (2001).
  • 64. According to Nation (2007) good lessons have included speaking and writing activities. The teacher should design speaking and writing activities. This involves written or spoken input in the activities that each piece of input contains about English words that may be new to the learners. Also, as expressed by the teacher, when teaching certain tenses it is useful to make learners guess the structure used for the tense, instead of simply showing it on the whiteboard or a slide. In this way they can reinforce autonomy in the process of learning and since they are going to be the ones who ‘discover’ the structure, they will keep that information in their memory for a longer period of time. Task 3: Reflect on the process followed for planning the lessons, highlighting strengths, weaknesses and challenges. Orientaciones a) De las tareas desarrolladas, ¿qué le resultó más fácil: el diseño de la planificación, la elaboración de materiales o la fundamentación de la propuesta? ¿Por qué? b) Que le resultó más difícil de planificar ¿Por qué se le presentaron esas dificultades? ¿Como las enfrentó? Señale consecuencias positivas y negativas de las acciones que tomó para enfrentar esas dificultades.
  • 65. c) Si tuvo estudiantes con mayores necesidades de apoyo docente, ¿qué facilidades y dificultades tuvo para la implementación de las actividades de aprendizaje? Task based lessons are personally the easiest for planning, since they are more focused on students work that teachers work and also because learners like these sort of activities in which they have to bring materials to the class and work with elements they like such as music, food, technology, etc. In this way students feel really engaged to the lesson and are able to work positively and without unnecessary distractions that can emerge in any other type of lesson. Moreover, as they like what they are doing they keep that new knowledge in their long term memory. Teaching vocabulary was a bit more complex but still not difficult. Nowadays, learners feel close to technology and since the unit has to do with technology and future, lessons are easier to carry out in terms of engagement and context. Planning a lesson is always a big challenge because the teacher does not know whether the lesson will be successful or not, if students are going to be engaged or not, if the computer or projector are going to work or not, and lots of other doubts can emerge. One of the hardest lessons to plan are those who include tenses since there is a more complex structure in comparison with other contents. I tried to follow teacher’s advice by not showing them the structure explicitly, but let students find and realise the structure. Several examples in sentences or audios are useful for this approach and if necessary double the amount of activities and exercises to make sure learners understood.
