The past decades have seen the rapid development of English teaching and learning
in the field of Second Language Acquisition. For many years, it has been supposed
that learning a language was based on its rules and only by knowing them, it was
enough, but in Nunan's words: "Learning a language involves more than simply
learning grammatical patterns and rules" (Nunan, 1988:21). This idea has been
supported for more than thirty years. Nevertheless, we can still find in our schools hat this is not completely accurate. Many teachers keep thinking that it is enough to
learn English through grammar and vocabulary. Over the last decades, language
teaching has brought about a change in many parts of the world, but not in Spain.
There are thousands of ways to teach and it is not accepted anymore that there is
such a thing as the 'right method' to learn a language, so we need to adapt us to
each student and his/her needs. But, we need to bear in mind is some ideas when
teaching. First of all it is important that they learn to communicate themselves; any
language is used by its speakers to express themselves, to interact with others, to
gain information, and to learn about the world around them. Second, as it is known,
language varies; speakers need to vary language use according to the context of
communicative interaction, i.e. language varies with variation in topic, participants,
setting, purpose, and medium (verbal or written). Moreover, language varies
according to academic areas and tasks. Third, and as an essential part in this work,
language learning is most effective when it takes place through meaningful,
interactive tasks. Language learners will thus learn most when they are engaged in
meaningful, purposeful activities of social and cognitive nature in the context of the
classroom and outside it. Finally, and equally important for this paper, learning a new
language is becoming familiar with a new culture. Learners of a new language
become aware of new values, norms, thought patterns, and beliefs. As a result of this
cultural exposure learners develop understanding of, respect for, and appreciation of
diversity of cultural backgrounds.
In this paper these ideas will be central. Due to in my teaching practice I did not have
the opportunity to implement the activities as I would like to do it. Therefore, I have
proposed two didactic units to approach the contents from the book I worked with
during my teaching practice. One didactic unit is for fourth of primary, and other for
third of primary. So, below, the theories I have used to support my teaching proposal
are explained. Then, my teaching proposal will be exposed and related with the
theories from the theoretical framework and from the Melacom Master. [-]
