As we all know nowadays, English learning is one of the fundamental goals in the Spanish
educative system, since it is the language of the world and most of the contents and information we
receive every day are in that language. Therefore, knowing English gives you many advantages,
including the possibility to access new points of view, information sources or to communicate with
people around the world, as well as many others.
As a consequence, it seems that we are all obsessed with this matter: parents, politicians, schools;
looking for the best method to make our kids sound like native speakers. Perhaps here starts our
erroneous conception of English teaching, given that we expect our kids to reach a level which is
hardly achievable. Hence, the poor English level that Spanish people following these programs have
obtained in the last few years.
Fortunately it seems that things are beginning to change and many new methods are more focused
on a communicative approach (English as a tool and not as an end), such as the Context and
Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), created by David Marsh in 1994 (Marsh, Maljers and
Hartiala, 2001), which is in vogue now.
At this point, I would like to comment that my teaching proposal will follow this method, since in
my Practicum I could observe and take part in some subjects that used it (Social Science, Natural
Science, Arts and Crafts) and I found it very useful for children to know the world around them but
also to learn English, as long as they are not worried about making mistakes when speaking or
writing [-]
