The Master’s Degree Final Project I present here is encompassed within the category 4:
Actions through Cross-curricular topics and it consists of Teaching Values Through Literature.
The content of this work is a proposal of two action plans to be implemented through the
English subject and designed for students in the 4th course of secondary education.
This project is the result of my analysis about the way cross-curricular topics are
tackled in the English classroom nowadays. During my working experience with the Practicum I
could check that teachers deal with these topics very limitedly and English textbooks address
them in an inadequate and insufficient way.
Moreover, I could observe that most of the students were interested and enjoyed
activities and tasks when they included a more active and participative learning.
This way, I decided to create what I called action plans, each one focused on a
particular cross-curricular topic and including activities following a task-based approach. I also
chose to do it through literature, since I considered it is already an advantage in the field of
value learning as literature exemplifies the essential dignity and worth of individual human
beings
Therefore, this is a proposal that could be understood as a way to improve the
teaching-learning process and motivate students to obtain from them a more favorable
attitude towards the English subject and literature, always having in mind the importance of
transmitting values. The action plans are activities adapted to get closer to a more active and
constructive methodology, in which I expect students would have a greater participation.
Nevertheless, I have to point out that I have not had the opportunity to implement it in the
classroom and see the results.
Accordingly, the main objectives we try to achieve with this proposal of final project
are the following:
- To offer classroom resources to deal with cross-curricular topics in the 4th year of
secondary education that can be adapted to other educational contexts.
- To encourage the education across the curriculum. Learning a foreign language
transcends the framework of the linguistic learning and contributes to the formation
of the student from an integral perspective.
- To teach values in the English classroom. With this project, I want to transmit values
required for the self-fulfillment and the integration in the society: honesty, goodness,
simplicity and tolerance. And priority values: respect for people, environment and
things, responsibility and solidarity.
- To promote tolerance and acceptation, increase interest towards different social and
cultural realities and facilitate communication. Through interaction, students learn
how to participate, express their own ideas and listen to others. They develop the skill
to construct dialogs, negotiate meanings, make decisions while valuing contributions
from their classmates and reach agreements. [-]
