Introduction
The curriculum proposal for immersion rooms run by the Secretaría de Educación
de Bogotá combines CLIL and task-based approaches. The curriculum was
designed as a tool to foster the development of communicative skills in English
as a Foreign Language, therefore, it should not be used as a model to teach
French, Spanish as a Second Language or aborigine languages. It also clearly
emphasizes the development of the four pillars of education, learning to be,
learning to know, learning to do, and learning to learn, put forth by UNESCO’s
International Commission on Education for the Twenty-first Century (UNESCO,
1996). This framework was incorporated into the document Bases para el Plan
Sectorial de Educación 2012 – 2016 (Secretaría de Educación del Distrito, 2012),
and later established as guidelines for foreign language teaching (Secretaría
de Educación del Distrito, 2014). The proposal also contemplates the cross-
curricular axes needed for wellbeing and quality of life: citizenship and
living, gender, differentiated instruction, and information and communication
technology (ICT) (Secretaría de Educación del Distrito, 2014).

This curriculum is action-oriented as it views language learners primarily as


social agents – “members of society who have tasks (not exclusively language-
related) to accomplish in a given set of circumstances, in a specific environment
and within a particular field of action” (Council of Europe, 2001, p. 9). This
approach takes into account the cognitive, motivational, volitional dimensions,
as well as the full range of abilities specific to and applied by the individual
as a social agent. The general competences of language learners include
declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge, skills, existential competence,
and the ability to live in a community (Council of Europe, 2001).

Declarative knowledge is understood here as knowledge resulting from


experience or day-to-day living (empirical knowledge), and from more formal
learning (academic knowledge). This is evident in the proposed curriculum as
students are given the opportunity to learn by doing when developing projects
that are closely related to everyday life activities and issues related to a variety
of fields: culture, sports, citizenship, technology, and others.
Skills and Procedural Knowledge (know-how) depend more
on the ability to carry out procedures than on declarative
knowledge, but may be facilitated by the acquisition of
“forgettable knowledge,” and may also be accompanied
by forms of existential competence. Students in the Existential competence is seen as the sum of the individual
proposed programme are given the opportunity to characteristics, personality traits and attitudes that
strengthen this dimension through the development of concern, for example, one’s self-image and view of others,
tasks in which they demonstrate the ability to use language and the willingness to engage with other people in social
to communicate significant knowledge to the learning interaction. As learning a new language implies expanding
community. The consolidation sessions at the end of each one’s cultural knowledge, students are compelled to
unit also provide students with a more extended space interact with others both to acquire the new language
to bring knowledge to life by sharing with others when and to practise it as well. Tasks along the sessions are
delivering presentations, showing final products such as planned in such a way as to allow students the chance to
posters or brochures. This enables learners to not only show and share their own experiences, points of view and
gain new knowledge, but helps make others aware of their conceptions about the world around them, and then get
findings as well. to know, understand, accept or question their classmates’
insights.

Learning to live together is a dimension in which students


are encouraged to know, accept and respect others
who may be different or even be antagonists. One of the
most effective ways to achieve this is by developing joint
projects. These may include comparing and contrasting the
material and non-material cultures of different regions or
even countries, creating communication codes that could
be used by students to express their feelings and emotions
in an original and practical way, designing community
projects to target the problem and involve particular
populations, and many others. While developing those
projects, learners are presented with problems to solve
by using dialogue and other non-violent methods. They
also participate in processes of setting rules to regulate
behaviour and performance in different areas. By working
together on different projects, students strengthen their
citizenship values and, thus, are better prepared to interact
in a society based on democratic principles.

TOPIC: Different Kinds of Chores
MODULE: 1
UNIT: 1
SESSION: 1
AIMS: By the end of this session, students will be able to design a timetable of classroom chores, applying the use of related vocabulary, expressions and developing communication skills
around interaction. In this session, teachers will also get to know their students for the first time to establish a closer bond and assess their profile, level and expectations.

CORE ACTIVITIES T must begin the class with their own starting routine before continuing with the following activities

SEN ADAPTATION: If there is visual impaired student in the classroom, T could ask him/her to repeat a word and SS mime it. If there is a deaf student,
T shows the word in a piece of paper and S mime it. Translation to mother tongue to check understanding is valuable in both cases.

• T delivers the reading about Mrs. Rodriguez’ class (worksheet 1.1). T and Ss read the first activity stated in the hand out. T and SS start reading
the text together and T models what Ss have to do. T allows students to continue reading individually and identify which chore has not been
presented. T allows a few seconds for Ss to check with their pairs. The answer should be: “to organize the library”. T. checks the answer with the

• T takes a sentence from the reading and writes it on the board:
On Monday Ana sweeps the floor. On Tuesday, I sweep the floor.
T-Ss
• T asks what is different about these two sentences. Ss might say the name, the day, the “s” in the verb in the second sentence. This last one is
where the teacher wants to stop for a minute. Ask again “why is it different?” Students might come to the conclusion of the different persons and
conjugation. T keeps asking Ss, until they can figure out the answer. The idea is to establish the difference in the verb conjugation according to
the person that is doing the action.

• T writes some incomplete sentences on the board and asks Ss to fill in the gaps using the appropriate form of the verb according to what T
explained.

SEN Adaptation: In case of having any Ss with SEN, T may decide to ask groups to ensure they produce a diorama of a house with less rooms so
nobody has the pressure of having full responsibility for a design. T can also make sure to include any Ss with SEN in the groups and monitor that
their ideas and contributions are taken into consideration for the designs. T encourages SS with SEN to do as much as they can to help their group,
so T takes advantage of any other skills have developed. Eg. Colouring, modelling with clay, etc.

by completing the legal requirements of a national, state, or local
government. A nation gives certain rights and privileges to its citizens.
Citizens have to obey their country’s laws and defend their country
against its enemies.

In some countries, citizenship can mean a citizen has the right to


vote. Citizenship does not only refer to our rights and responsibilities
but it also refers to our social and moral behaviour. As a citizen of
a community or state, you have to put into practice your rights and
respect the rights of others. You can participate in the improvement
of the quality of political and civic life in your community and/or state.

How did

When the elephant tamer put his head inside the lion´s mouth people shouted in horror They were horrified

People laughed when the clowns did silly things. They were very happy

People were screaming when the elephant ran out of the tent. They were excited

Five steps to control your emotions in challenging situations


1. Don´t react right away. Take a deep breath. Continue to breathe deeply, feel your muscles relax and your heart rate return to normal.
2. Release your emotion in a healthy way. Call or see someone you trust and tell them what happened. Listen to another opinion.
3. See the bigger picture. See past the moment and realize the greater meaning of any given situation.
4. Replace your thoughts. When confronted with an emotion that makes you think something bad, force it out and replace it with a different thought.
5. Forgive. When you forgive you detach from the resentment, the jealousy, and the anger.

• After 7 minutes of observations, Students sit and discuss the following in an open class: Do you think any of the inventions was used for
something else? Ask them to elaborate if the answer is positive.

• If time allows, T can tell them a little about each object and if he/she has pictures of him/herself using any of these. It would be great. Also
bringing one or more of these objects into the classroom would be a nice way to finish the class.
For the warm-up: The T must look for a video about a future invention. In the clip, Ss should be able to see how the invention works or how people use it. For instance, they can use the suggested video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkyLnWm1iCs
For the task: T must find images of old inventions, Here’s a suggested link: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2010/02/blast-from-the-past-vintage-technologies-that-we-no-longer-use/
To be contextualized about the topic T may research online some examples about inventions we no longer use; for instance this website:
Resources

Other resources: the cubes sketches done in cardboard, glue, notebooks and pens. For pictures of inventions we don’t use nowadays, a copy per each picture, a black bag, coloured pens or markers.

T may use the sketch of a cube provided in the file called: worksheet 2.1 for the task.
For the warm-up: T must search some images of the inventions presented in the movie “back to the future” or any other future invention. This is example of the video:
