Conclusions

The design and execution of this unit allow to conclude that for the teaching of

English based on the going to, the teacher has the possibility of implementing a guided

method to structure this strategy of language teaching; articulating it with other aspects of

language learning such as communicative competence and the great contribution it can

provide to the comprehensive education of the child through the use of the language in

learning to generate other knowledge and reflections. This planning guides, organizes and

facilitates the teaching work. Our proposed activity deals with learning through the

visual, as this helps us to generate in the students their imagination, their curiosity and

even their humor, as well as the sequences of activities of extension challenge them to

gain confidence.
