Language skills
Receptive skills:

Productive
skills:

Listening

Speaking

Reading

Writing

Listening, speaking, reading and writing in the target language

contribute to the development of cognitive processes that
help in the learning of the Mother Tongue.

An integrated skills approach

The students must be ACTIVE

listeners and readers.

Successful production in the target
language is achieved through highly
contextualized meaningful input.
Productive skills have to be taught
through techniques which ensure
scaffolded learning .

Final goal
To develop communicative competence

through meaningful interaction.

Which is the most appropriate grammar
approach?
The USE of language in meaningful contexts
of communication (language as a means of
communication).
Tha reflection upon the patterns of language
(language as an object of study).

Grammar teaching

Different
approaches

Implicit explanation: students

analize the grammar points by
themselves.
Explicit explanation: teacher
provides the grammar
explanation.
Guided participation: teacher
and students work
colaboratively in co-building
the grammar rules.

Benefits of the guided participation

The students increase their grammar

awareness.
The students spontaneously try to
figure out the patterns of language.
They learn different uses of the
language which they may transfer to
the study of their Mother Tongue.

Functions and exponents

How are functions and contents

related?
The language functions reflect the

purpose of language in use.

The language contents (yellow pages)

pluricultural, multilinge, que tenga
como fundamento el reconocimiento
pleno de la diversidad y el respeto
mutuo entre los pueblos y culturas, y

convivencia la interculturalidad,
sigue siendo un anhelo, un ideal y
una meta a largo plazo
