INTRODUCTION The following project is a complete and didactic summary of the book Teaching By Principles, An Interactive Approach to Language Pedagogy, Third Edition, written by Brown, H. Douglas, taking into account the analysis from the different methods, methodologies, techniques and activities that can be apply in a learning process to improve the students language skills. It is also explain how to organize a classroom by some specific lesson plans, to get motivated students to enjoy their learning process, helping the teachers from the intermediate level with organized activities, techniques and material, to have a good classroom management based in the school curriculum design. We also demonstrate how technology is a helpful tool for the students´ motivation and the intercultural connection in the learning process, not only from the language but also from some traditions and cultural environment, planning specific activities in some lesson plans.

THEORITICAL PHRAMEWORK The following course is “English as a second language” unit 1, which content is assigned by the complete school scope based in the competence of English as a foreign language. It is plan for students in a low intermediate level, with ages between 15 and 18 years old and which mother tongue is Spanish and/or Cachiquel.

The course is plan for a city private school students that have begun receiving English recently. The classes are according to the student’s necessities and with technical resources, also to the Common European Framework requirements. The plan is according to the school methodology of double period of a PPP method. The class size is appropriate to the number of students, being a heterogeneous group.

The teachers are Licenciadas in Pedagogy, and or Licenciadas in Language and technology with a high level of English management who are prepare to afford any new challenge and trained to work with a formative and summative evaluation, according to the necessities of the topic or the unit.

Some of the problems we can deal with in the classroom can be: 1. Which are students’ necessities according to their personal environment?

2. Which are the academic levels of the students?

3. Do the students have an appropriate place and technology at home to take advantage of the method?

4. Is the book content adequate to the heterogeneity from students?

5. Do students feel motivated to acquire the language?

6. Is the time period enough to cover the content plan?

7. Would be the students receptive to new learning at the period schedule for the class?

The specific goal the school want to achieve with this course is the ACQUISITION OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE, being the general objective the use the language skills to communicate properly, working the following specific objectives 

Students can

o Use of the new vocabulary. o Apply in a proper manner the grammar in context. o Understand texts related to their interest and age. o Oral interaction: Express his/her ideas in a proper way. o Oral production: Present different topics in a clear way. o Understand oral native and non-native speakers. o Obtain proper pronunciation and fluency from native and non-native speakers. o Explain their ideas/facts and opinion in a proper written way. o Write a conversation using personal information We aren’t going to use any specific book, we will search for material, resources and technique according to the necessities from the students, because we have a heterogeneous group.

METHOD The method that we are going to use is not a specific one, because, according to the topic, group and student necessities we will adapt all of them. In some cases, students will work with the grammar translation method if a topic is really difficult to understand in L2, with the Series Method, The Direct Method, and the Audiolingual Method too.

METHODOLOGY The methodology is a PPP one (Presentation, Practice, Production methodology) dividing the class in Warm up, Topic Presentation, Practice, (personal work, cooperative work) and wrap-up; working the formative and summative evaluation according to the class plan.

TECHNIQUES Each class plan has its specific learning technique, but a summary we are going to summarize them in the following chart, being careful that we have plan all of them in different moments form the unit.

CONCLUSION In conclusion, we can say that this project represents our vision of how to work with our students, following specific grammar structures, based in context, and exercises.

Also how to plan including competences, techniques, motivations, and simple forms of evaluations process. We also demonstrate how technology is a helpful tool for the students´ motivation and the intercultural connection in the learning process, not only from the language but also from some traditions and cultural environment, planning specific activities in some lesson plans. With this kind of activities we put in practice our different skills as a teachers, using a collaborative work, and organizing in an effective way, applying the information we were receiving in the course. Making this project a clear example of how to apply the knowledge effectively.

GRAMMAR PERSONAL PRONOUNS, NOMINATIVE CASE PLURAL AND SINGULAR CASES

Personal Pronouns: They are always substituting names, a simple name or thing can be replaced by pronouns and they can be plural or singular case, we call this: The Nominative case pronouns.

Examples: Singular: I

Plural: we

you

you

he

they

she As we know, singular means only one person or thing, meanwhile plural means “many” all personal pronouns are divided in a specific order that we have to follow to create a clear idea that the grammar we have to apply at the right time.

Examples: I-------------------First Person You-----------------Second Person Singular He-----------------Third Person She----------------Third Person It------------------Third Person

We------------------First Person You-----------------Second Person

Plural

They----------------Third Person

VERB TO BE

The Verb “To Be” means state of being; it is one of the most important verbs in English, because it’s used almost every time that people speak.

It is used with The Personal Pronouns especially with the Nominative Case ones. Contractions are used in most cases in everyday speaking, with the pronouns.

Personal

Verb ”TO BE:”

Pronoun I

you

he, she, it

they

are

CONTRACTIONS: It is when we join two words together in one, that’s that we call “Short Form of Words” the normal form it is call “The Long Form of Words”.

Most of the English speaker use this form, to speak faster and simplify their writing or in a simple speech.

SHORT FORM OF WORDS “CONTRACTIONS” PRESENT TENSE EXAMPLES

Verb To Be+pronoun

You’re

He is

He’s

We are

They are

They’re

TIP: The contraction is made of two words together united by making only one joined by “The Apostrophe”

The Verb “To Be” can be modified, depending of the tense that we need to speak.

In this unit we are going to work with the Simple Present Tense of TO BE, this is also call “auxiliary verb,” as well this verb works as “Main Verb” in a sentence. We are going to study both cases to apply it commonly PARTS OF THE SPEECH THE SENTENCE: It is a group of words that express a complete thought, ideas or feelings.

A simple sentence consists of two important parts: The Subject and the Predicate.

THE SUBJECT: It is the person, place, or thing that the sentence is all about.

THE PREDICATE: It is the part of the sentence, which tells what the subject does or is.

EXAMPLES: Carlos

is

Subject

my

brother

Predicate

In this sentence “Carlos” is the subject, because that’s the name or substantive that we are talking about, and “It is my brother” it’s the predicate of the sentence because it tells what the subject or substantive is.

MORE EXAMPLES: He

is

Subject She Subject

my

brother

Predicate is

It

VERB TO BE AM

HE, SHE, IT

IS

YOU, ARE

ARE

AND THEY HINT: Check that every pronoun has its own verb to be word, for singular we use I+am, for You+Are, He, She, and It + is .

For Plurals, for example: We+are, and They+Are, Check the Chart to have a clear idea of the definition.

Subject: It is a pronoun, noun or name of person or place that the sentence is about.

Predicate: Always start with the auxiliary or main verbs in a sentence plus the extra information.

PREDICATE ADJECTIVE: It is when the adjective describes the substantive in a sentence.

Example: “The house is big” In the sentence “The house is big” BIG, describes the house. It is an adjective it is in the predicate, it is a Predicate adjective.

PREDICATE NOUN: It is when we use another noun to rename a noun or a pronoun.

Example: “Bobby is a Doctor” In the sentence “Bobby is a Doctor”, DOCTOR renames or identifies the subject.

It is a noun. Because it is in the predicate, it is a PREDICATE NOUN. HOMEWORK WORKSHEET 1 “IS WORTH 10 POINTS” DIRECTIONS: identify the subject and the predicate in the following sentences: Underline the subject and place and “S” under the line of the subject and underline the predicate words with a “P” under the line.

1. - He is nice 2. - Vicente and Carlos are playing 3. - They are brothers

4.- We are good football partners 5.- She is a beautiful woman 6.- It is my cat 7.- You are happy 8.- I am your brother 9.- Felipe is a soldier 10.- Raul and you are friends DIRECTIONS: Identify if the sentence has a Predicate adjective or Predicate Noun. Write: P. A.= Predicate adjective or P.N.= Predicate Noun Check the first example to guide you.

1.- She is my sister___ P.N.__ 2.- John is fat _________ 3.- Carla is a nurse________ 4.- I am a soccer player________ 5.- Richard is tall__________ 6.- Angelica is a secretary._________ 7.- They are noisy____________ 8.- We are fine______________ 9.- You are glad_____________ 10. He is a doctor___________ 11. She is pretty__________

SIMPLE PRESENT

To form the present tense of most verbs, use the verb in the simple form for all persons except third person singular. In the third person singular (he, she, and it) it tends to change the form of the simple verb sometimes it needs to be added a letter “S” “ES” or “IES”, depending of the writing of the word.

Let’s check the most important rules for the usage of regular verbs to the third person in singular (he, she, and it)  RULE 1: Add “S” to the verbs Exp: play=plays, clean=cleans, sleep= sleeps  RULE 2: If a verb ends in a “y” which is preceded by a consonant, then change the “y” into “I” and add “es”.

Examples:

(cargar)

study = studies

He studies or She studies

carry = carries He carries or She carries

(casarse) Marry = marries He marries or she marries.

 RULE 3 if the Verb ends in “sh”, “ch”, “x”, “z”, “s” or “o”, then add “ES” Example:

Wash

Washes

watch

watches

fix

fixes

buzz

buzzes

dress

dresses

do

does

go

goes

1.- He washes the shirt

2. She watches the game.

3.- It fixes itself.

4.- It buzzes too much.

5.- He dresses well.

6.- She does the homework.

7.- It goes far away.

IRREGULAR VERBS They follow the same rules in the simple present tense to make the third person singular (he, she, and It), check the formula and some examples of the structure NOUN OR

Examples: They

THE AUXILIARY VERB TO DO

The verb “To Do” is used to make questions in simple present tense. The Verb do sometimes works as a main verb. We have to be careful in its usage, because the third person singular needs to have special “to do word”, which is “Does” (Affirmative), “Doesn’t” (Negative).

Let’s have a review of its conjugation in simple present and past tenses.

To make the question form of the simple present tense we have to use the Auxiliary Verb “TO DO”.

Question Form: By using the auxiliary verb to do as an auxiliary verb at the very beginning of the sentences we make the question form for each person

READING CLASS COMMANDS Activity 1. Read the following class commands and choose one of them.

Taken from: http://www.enlgish-room.com Your turn! Taking turns play mimics to guess the command you choose.

IMPROVING YOUR ENGLISH Read the text and choose the best answer for each question. ________________________________________ Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method. Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?

The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people. In Italy, it is always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the learning is slower.

On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don't have to make big changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher in Italy, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school.

So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK. This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is the only viable option. The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximize your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.

1. What is the article about?

How many people learn English.

The best way to learn English.

English schools in England and America.

2. What is one of the advantages of going to the UK to learn English?

There are no Italians in Britain.

You will have to speak English and not your language.

The language schools are better.

3. What is one of the advantages of staying in your country to learn English?

The teachers aren't very good in Britain.

You have to work too hard in Britain.

Your life can continue more or less as it was before.

4. People who don't have a lot of time and money should...

Learn English in Britain.

Try and speak English in class more often.

Go to Italy to learn English.

A Typical day in a family Mr. Lee is a bus driver. Every day he gets up at 7:00 a.m. and prepares for his day. He showers, eats his breakfast, and puts on his uniform. His wife drives him to the station where he checks in with his supervisor. Then, he gets on Bus and starts the engine. He pulls out of the parking lot and begins his route. At his first stop, he picks up Mrs. Miller, who lives in a red house on the corner of Main Street and Seventh Avenue. She works at the post office and has to be to work by 9:00. At the next stop, the Bartlett twins get on the bus. They attend class at Bayside Elementary. More children get on at the next three stops, and they ride until the bus reaches their school.

Education in the United States

Education in the United States is provided by public schools and private schools.

Public education is universally required at the K–12 level, and is available at state colleges and universities for all students. K–12 public school curricula, budgets, and policies are set through locally elected school boards, who have jurisdiction over individual school districts. State governments

Private schools are generally free to determine their own curriculum and staffing

policies,

with

available

through

independent regional accreditation authorities. About 87% of school-age

children attend public schools, about 10% attend private schools, and more than 3% are homeschooled.

Education is compulsory over an age range starting between five and eight and ending somewhere between ages sixteen and eighteen, depending on the state. This requirement can be satisfied in public schools,

state-certified

private

schools,

or

an

approved home

school program. In most schools, education is divided into three levels: elementary school, middle or junior high school, and high school.

Children are usually divided by age groups into grades, ranging from kindergarten and first grade for the youngest children, up to twelfth grade as the final year of high school.

country. Post-secondary education, divided into college, as the first tertiary degree, and graduate school, is described in a separate section below.

The United States spends more per student on education than any other country. American students rank 14th worldwide in cognitive skills, just behind Russia. On the other hand, of the top ten colleges and universities in

the

world,

eight

are

American.

(The

other

are Oxford and Cambridge, in the United Kingdom.)

Education in Guatemala Similar to the United States, the educational system in Guatemala is divided into three levels: primary (elementary), secondary (high school), and university. Education in Guatemala is free and compulsory through sixth grade, or between the ages of 7 and 14. Because public schools are often located sparsely in the rural areas of the country, there is an abundance of private schools in Guatemala. Many of these institutions are Marist or Jesuit. In total, there are approximately 9,300 primary schools,

which are attended by 1.3 million students. More than 290,000 students attend private secondary schools, and the total university enrollment in Guatemala is approximately 88,000.

Language of Instruction: Although Spanish is the official language spoken in Guatemala, not all of its citizens are fluent in Spanish. Spoken among the nation's high Indian population are over 20 indigenous Mayan Indian languages, including K'iche', Kakchiquel, K'ekchi, Mam, andQuiche, which are used primarily in the rural areas of the country. In fact, only 60 percent of Guatemala's population speaks Spanish; the remaining 40 percent speak indigenous Mayan languages. These dialects are spoken in many of the country's rural schools. One of Guatemala's educational goals is to become uni-lingual, which means that ideally all Guatemalans would be able to speak Spanish. However, students who complete all 6 years of primary school and all 5 years of secondary may have as many as 11 years of English instruction, a trend which began around the time of Guatemala's break from dictatorship in the late 1940s. Since that time, school children, at least in the larger cities, may have also received training in other languages, especially French, German, and Italian.

Instructional Technology (Computers): Lack of adequate educational technology remains a problem for the Guatemalan classroom, especially in the mountainous, rural areas. Absence of funding, limited technical access, and lack of operator expertise prevent all schools from being equipped

with

state-of-the-art

computers

and

distance

learning

technology. However, these commodities are making their entrance into the universities, particularly the University of San Carlos, which boasts a fully updated website, student access to the Internet, and other interactive features. Students who can afford the required technology and tuition may participate in online education courses offered outside of the country.

Curriculum—Development: The

Guatemalan

Ministry

of

Education

supports a progressive, globalized curriculum. One of the country's major educational achievements is its focus on globalization and multicultural affairs. Starting in secondary school, students learn about other cultures and nations, including their Latin American neighbors, other Westernhemisphere countries, and countries all over the world. This attention to multiculturalism aids in Guatemala's presence in international affairs, global commerce, and social development. Curriculum in Guatemala also gives attention to the social issues the country faces and encourages its students to be active in helping solve these problems.
