Introduction

The term globalization is never far from the front pages of newspapers these days. It
evokes strong positive or negative feelings depending upon whether it is being praised by the
business community for opening up world markets to more extensive trade or condemned by
those who associate it with the dramatically widening gap between rich and poor nations and
people. One aspect of globalization that has important implications for educators is the
increasing movement of people from one country to another. Population mobility is caused
by different factors: the desire for better economic conditions, the need for labor in many
countries that are experiencing low birthrates, a constant flow of refugees resulting from
conflicts between groups, oppression of one group by another or ecological disasters
(Cummins, 2009).

Economic integration within the EU also encourages the free movement of workers
and their families among EU member countries. The fact that travels between countries is
now fast and efficient (most of the time) obviously facilitates population mobility (Cummins,
2009). As part of its work promoting mobility and intercultural understanding, the European
Union considers language learning a priority and finances numerous programs and projects in
this area. For the Union, multilingualism is an important element of European
competitiveness, so one of the objectives of the linguistic policy of the Union is that every
European citizen master, in addition to your mother tongue, two other languages (Hériard,
2019).

Bilingualism has positive effects on children's linguistic and educational development.


When children continue to develop their abilities in two or more languages throughout their
primary school years, they gain a deeper understanding of language and how to use it. They
have more practice in processing language, especially when they develop literacy in both, and
they are able to compare and contrast the ways in which their two languages organize reality
(Cummins, 2009). The general objectives set by the current Spanish education law are: listen
and understand messages in varied verbal interactions, using the information transmitted to
carry out tasks specific diverse and related to their experience, express themselves and
interact in simple and usual situations, using verbal and nonverbal procedures and following
the rules typical of the communicative exchange to respond with sufficient autonomy and in
an adequate, respectful and cooperative manner and correct situations of everyday life, write
texts with varied purposes on topics previously discussed in the classroom and with the help

2
of models, read comprehensive texts, related to their experiences and interests, to extract
general and specific information with a previous purpose, learn to use with progressive
autonomy all the means at your disposal, including new technologies, to obtain information
and to communicate in the foreign language, effectively use the knowledge, experiences and
communication strategies acquired in other languages for a further acquisition, fast, efficient
and autonomous foreign language, value the foreign language and languages in general as a
means of communication between people from different backgrounds and cultures,
developing a positive attitude towards multilingual and multicultural diversity integrated in
our Andalusian community, expressing a receptive attitude, of progressive confidence in
one's own ability to learn and use the foreign language and identify phonetic aspects of
rhythm, stress and intonation, as well as linguistic structures and lexical aspects of the
language foreign, using them as basic elements of communication.

Some research conducted by Bak (2014), Bialystol (2009), Luachkan, Parisi and
Fadda, (2013), Cenoz and Genesee (1998), Lazaruk (2007), Cenoz (2003) or Tomas and
Collier (2001) support what Goethe, the German philosopher, once said: The person who
knows only one language does not truly know that language. The research suggests that
bilingual children may also develop more flexibility in their thinking as a result of processing
information through two different languages (Cummins, 2009).

The level of development of children's mother tongue is a strong predictor of their


second language development (Cummins, 2009). Children who come to school with a solid
foundation in their mother tongue develop stronger literacy abilities in the school language.
When parents and other caregivers (e.g. grandparents) are able to spend time with their
children and tell stories or discuss issues with them in a way that develops their mother
tongue vocabulary and concepts, children come to school well- prepared to learn the school
language and succeed educationally. Children's knowledge and skills transfer across
languages from the mother tongue they have learned in the home to the school language.
From the point of view of children's development of concepts and thinking skills, the two
languages are interdependent. Transfer across languages can be two-way: when the mother
tongue is promoted in school (e.g. in a bilingual education program), the concepts, language,
and literacy skills that children are learning in the majority language can transfer to the home
language. In short, both languages nurture each other when the educational environment
permits children access to both languages (Cummins, 2009).

3
Mother tongue promotion in the school helps develop not only the mother tongue but
also children's abilities in the majority school language and avoid social exclusion (Skutnabb-
kanga, García & Baker, 1995). This finding is not surprising in view of the previous findings
that (a) bilingualism confers linguistic advantages on children and (b) abilities in the two
languages are significantly related or interdependent. Bilingual children perform better in
school when the school effectively teaches the mother tongue and, where appropriate,
develops literacy in that language. By contrast, when children are encouraged to reject their
mother tongue and, consequently, its development stagnates, their personal and conceptual
foundation for learning is undermined (Cummins, 2009).

Spending instructional time through a minority language in the school does not hurt
children's academic development in the majority school language. Some educators and
parents are suspicious of bilingual education or mother tongue teaching programs because
they worry that these programs take time away from the majority school language. For
example, in a bilingual program where 50% of the time is spent teaching through children's
home language and 50% through the majority school language, surely children's learning of
the majority school language must suffer? One of the most strongly established findings of
educational research, conducted in many countries around the world, is that well-
implemented bilingual programs can promote literacy and subject matter knowledge in a
minority language without any negative effects on children's development in the majority
language. Within Europe, the Foyer program in Belgium which develops children's speaking
and literacy abilities in three languages (their mother tongue, Dutch and French) in the
primary school most clearly illustrates the benefits of bilingual and trilingual education
(Cummins, 2000).

Oiler (Oiler & Perkins 1978) has argued on the basis of a large number of studies that
'there exists a global language proficiency factor which accounts for the bulk of the reliable
variance in a wide variety of language proficiency measures'. This factor is strongly related to
IQ and to other aspects of academic achievement. Most of the data reported by Oiler and
Perkins involved performance on discrete-point measures of literacy-related skills (for
example, vocabulary and reading comprehension tests) or on integrative tests such as oral and
written cloze and dictation. Farhady (1979) has shown that there is no difference between
discrete point and integrative tests in terms of their loadings on a global proficiency factor.

4
Oiler's general position is supported by a large body of research showing high
correlations between literacy skills and general intellectual skills. Verbal intellectual skills are
more strongly related to reading than are nonverbal skills. For example, Strang (1945)
reported correlations of .41-.46 between nonverbal abilities and reading and of .80-.84
between verbal abilities and reading. Consistent with these empirical findings, several
theorists have emphasized the importance of reasoning in the reading process (Downing
1979, Singer 1977, Vernon 1971), while others (for example, Goodman, Goodman, and
Flores 1979; Smith 1971) have pointed out that fluent reading skills require that readers make
use of their total knowledge of language and of the world to make predictions about
information in the text.

According to Order of June 28th, 2011, which regulates bilingual education in


Andalusia, a bilingual school is one in which subjects are taught in two languages: in the
mother tongue and in another foreign language.

The bilingual schools promote the acquisition of the five basic skills of listening to
talk, conversation, reading and writing through the Content and Language Integrated
Learning (CLIL).
The requirements for an Andalusian school to be bilingual are:
● Teachers, families and students should want their center to be bilingual, under
the conditions established in the regulations.
● Being authorized to teach the areas of the stage for which you are applying for
authorization.
● Having bilingual teachers to teach non-linguistic areas.
● Modify your educational project adapting it to what the Order indicates.
For the teaching of a subject to be considered bilingual, it is necessary that at least
50% of the subject is taught in English. In Primary Education the area that must be taught is
science, and, if you have resources for it, physical education and / or music.

Theme selection and justification


Animals are a hugely enriching center of interest. Children arouse great enthusiasm in
animals, so learning about them is simple as well as fun. Animals allow us to work on their
knowledge, developing attitudes of love and respect for them and beginning or consolidating
in the knowledge of various topics, such as colors, shapes, qualities, attitudes or family.

5
It is an ideal topic to work in a transversal way, joining the subjects English, music
and natural sciences. This lesson plan will be used in the Second Course of Primary
Education, It consists of 8 sessions that we will carry out continuously throughout the second
trimester.
The main objectives of this lesson plan are:
 Students develop their foreign language proficiency by working on a series
of contents specific to this cycle, including:
■ Identify animals by name in English
■ Value foreign language and languages in general as a means of
communication between people from different backgrounds
and cultures, developing a positive attitude towards
multilingual and multicultural diversity integrated in our
Andalusian community.
■ Show a receptive attitude, of progressive confidence in one's
own ability to learn and use the foreign language.
■ Identify phonetic aspects of rhythm, stress and intonation, as
well as linguistic structures and lexical aspects of the foreign
language, using them as basic elements of communication.
 Know the classification of vertebrate and invertebrate animals.
 Classify vertebrate animals according to their characteristics.
 Know the main characteristics of each group of vertebrates.
 Identify the group to which the different animals belong according to their
characteristics.
 Promote the development of techniques to memorize, organize and relate
information, and to self-assess the progress in learning.
In order to carry it out, a series of specific objectives are proposed, taking as a
reference the general objectives of the stage for the foreign language subject that appears in
Decree 97/2015.
To carry out this lesson plan, we have taken into account the context in which we are,
considering both the center and the classroom in which we work, the spaces and materials
available and the characteristics of the students.

6
Upon accessing the Proyecto Educativo del Centro (PEC) of the C.E.I.P. Los
Cármenes de Granada, we find the definition of the Proyecto Educativo, which reads as
follows:
“In accordance with article 21 of DECREE 328/2010 of July 13rd which approves the
Reglamento Orgánico de las Escuelas Infantiles de segundo grado, de los Colegios de
Educación Primaria, de los Colegios de Educación Infantil y Primaria, y de los
Centros Públicos Específicos de Educación Especial (BOJA Nº139 DE 16 JULIO DE
2010), the Proyecto Educativo constitutes the hallmark of the teaching center and
expresses the education that wants and will develop in specific conditions, so you
should consider the values, objectives and priorities for action, not only limited to
curricular aspects, but also to those that, from a cultural point of view, make center a
dynamic element of the area where it is located.1 ”
This document defines the particular objectives that the center intends to achieve,
based on its reality and taking as reference the Organic Law 2/2006, of May 3rd, and the Law
17/2007, of December 10th, on the principles that they guide each of the educational stages
that are taught in it and the corresponding prescriptions about the curriculum.
The C.E.I.P. Proyecto Educativo Los Cármenes, is updated taking into account the
documents resulting from the application of the LOMCE in Andalusia, so the reference
regulations are:
● ORGANIC LAW 8/2013, of December 9th, for the improvement of educational
quality (LOMCE).
● ROYAL DECREE 126/2014, of February 28th, which establishes the ordinance and
teaching corresponding to primary education in Andalusia.
● ORDER of March 17th, 2015, which develops the curriculum for Primary Education
in Andalusia.
● ORDER ECD/65/2015, of January 21 st, which describes the relationships between
competencies, contents and evaluation criteria of primary education, compulsory
secondary education and high school.
● DECREE 328/2010 of July, 13rd, which approves the Reglamento Orgánico of
primary schools.
The report includes the most relevant conclusions of the analysis and evaluation of the
Programación General Anual and its degree of compliance, with the clear objective of

improving the planning of the needs of the following course, as well as of improving the
operation of the school.
It includes the analysis of the students' results, the evaluation of the teaching process
and teaching practice, the evaluation of the plans developed during the school year and the
evaluation of the improvement measures as well as the proposal for the following course. It is
included in the Plan de Centro.
The general objectives of the center included in the report are:
● Educate children in tolerance, co-responsibility and solidarity.
● To reach an equal treatment between the sexes from the early ages, to favor
social relations in which freedom and equality prevail.
● Raise awareness among teachers and families of the importance of
coeducation, to achieve non-sexist relationship models.
● Eradicate violence in all areas and especially gender violence by adopting
rules of respect for others.
● Promote cooperative and non-sexist activities.
● Educate for equality between boys and girls from the game and non-sexist
toys.

Key competencies
The competencies developed in this teaching unit are the following:
● Linguistic communication: understand the statements of the exercises correctly, as
well as their resolution, good oral and written expression in the work on classification
of animals, so this competence is used in all the activities of the lesson plan.
● Digital competence: It implies the safe and critical use of ICT to obtain, analyze,
produce and exchange information. This competence is used when the films are
watched in class, and when the teacher and students use the computer to do the
activities.
● Learning to learn: It is one of the main competences, since it implies that the student
develops his ability to start learning and persist in it, organize his tasks and time, and
work individually or collaboratively to achieve a goal. This competence is used in all
the activities.
● Social and civic competences: when the activities are exposed to the whole class and
the solutions do not match, students should be encouraged to respect them even if
they do not match theirs and when they present their work, pay attention and respect
classmates. This competence is used in the group’s activities.
● Sense of initiative and entrepreneurial spirit: this competence is achieved by
solving activities autonomously, together with group work. This competence is used
in all the activities.

This lesson plan will be used in the Second Course of Primary Education; it consists
of 8 sessions that we will carry out continuously throughout the second trimester.

Methodology
As this lesson plan is mainly about the linguistic competence applied to animals, we
will apply the different activities related to that competence.
For the development of this lesson plan an operative and participatory methodology
will be used, based on CLIL. In this type of methodology, learning is the exclusive action of
the student, that is, it is an active methodology, preventing the student from being a mere
passive receiver of information. The type of activities proposed by this type of methodology
should invite reflection, because mental activity is fundamental in learning. The student is the
protagonist, and the teacher acts as a guide, as a guide in the learning process. In this way the
autonomy of the student is promoted (which is one of the basic competences that must be
achieved) and the student is motivated in an intrinsic way, that is, illusions, challenges arise.
CLIL refers to situations in which the subjects are taught through a language that is
not the mother tongue of the students with a double objective, the learning of contents and the
learning of the target language simultaneously (Marsh, 2002). You learn through experiences,
and you have the opportunity to put into practice what you learn while you learn it.
In a CLIL class, the focus is on both content and language. Students use the language
to learn and learn to use the language. It is not particularly based on grammar. Students are
encouraged to use the language to communicate from the beginning. It provides different
types of input. (Leisen, 2005). Promotes critical thinking at the level of content, language and
learning skills. It takes into account the individual needs of the students, learning styles and
multiple intelligences.

12
CLIL aims to increase student participation (STT student talking time) and decrease
teacher participation (TTT teacher talking time).
Scaffolding is the process by which the teacher helps the student by dividing a task or
activity to facilitate the students to perform it, demonstrating how to do it: “MODELLING”,
providing the language and structures necessary to learn the content and perform the chores.
The CLIL methodology promotes cognitive development. Cognitive skills are divided
into: Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS).
The difficulty of the activities must be affordable, neither too easy nor too difficult, in
order to promote motivation. These activities should be interesting, motivating and
meaningful for the student, as far as possible. They should avoid mere mechanical
reproduction or memorization without understanding. They must also involve learning
through action, allowing each student's own style.
An attempt will be made, as far as possible, to dominate the colloquium, that is to say,
that there should not be only explanatory explanations by the teacher, but that the students
participate in the form of colloquiums or expose the information that they have previously
sought. Likewise, stimulating and guiding questions will be used by the teacher, achieving
motivation, reflection and dynamism of the class. Finally, group work will also be promoted,
as it helps to achieve cooperation with other people to achieve an end, as well as the
commitment and responsibility of the student.
In short, in the type of operative and participatory methodology, which is basically the
one that will be used, the teacher promotes knowledge, implying the student's learning
autonomy and inviting reflection. Teach decision making, promoting the initiative and
creativity of students. The teacher must speak, listen and make talk, involving all students
equally. It must also propose objectives and plan with the group, thus giving the role of
protagonist to the student. You should worry about discipline, but without intimidating
students. You should work with the group, so that students see the teacher as a help, a guide
for their learning. Finally and ultimately, you must stimulate, motivate, guide and reassure
your students throughout the learning process.
We must start from the previous knowledge of the student, and that the learning is
significant, as this will be useful for their development and social integration and
employment.
As for the methods of relationship between the teacher and the student, we will use
the reciprocal, the method by which the teacher routes his students to teach their classmates
and the collective, a method that occurs when we have a teacher for many students.

13
As for the student's work, the methods used will be the individual work method, when
the school work is adapted to the student through homework; mixed, when socialized and
individual and collective activities are raised, when the activities are carried out in a group.
Regarding the acceptance of what has been taught, heuristic, because it is necessary to
encourage students to understand before setting, and the methods regarding the approach to
the subject of study will be analytical, because to know a phenomenon it is necessary to break
it down into its parts and synthetic, because the union of elements forms a whole.

Materials of the class


The classroom has a computer, which is usually used by the teacher, although when it
is strictly necessary it is the students who use it and a digital whiteboard, so the students work
with the latest technologies.
It also has a closet with books of different contents, to enhance reading in the
classroom and outside, since children can have the book they want when they deem
appropriate.
A closet where the necessary materials to work in the classroom are stored, such as
markers, pencils, chess boards and their respective cards, paintings and chalk, and the area
where the traditional blackboard is located and where children expose their ideas in shape of
jobs.
The class space is wide and flexible because the group is not very large, which
facilitates the freedom of space. The furniture can be moved from one side to the other, the
tables are square and rectangular and correspond to the size of the students, so that their self-
esteem is strengthened, as are the chairs. The center has an ALTHIA classroom, in which
there is a computer for each student and a projector, with which we can introduce students to
the use of ICTs.
The distribution of the classroom can meet the needs such as diversity, movement,
affection, exploration, imagination, creativity, hygiene, order and communication.

To conclude the lesson plan, students have to choose an animal and talk about
them. They have to include if the chosen animal is vertebrate or invertebrate, it is born
from its mum or by and egg, and if it is mammal, bird, fish, reptile or amphibian and
some dates that students think they can be interesting to the class. Each student has to
choose a different animal, because we are going to do a pop-up book with the animals
and some of the characteristics that students choose.
Key competences: Linguistic competence, learn to learn, social and civic competence
and sense of initiative and entrepreneurial spirit.
Learning standards: know the different animals

20
Evaluation criteria: Know the animals. Respect other classmates.

Evaluatory activity
The evaluation is an essential process for the educational process, since it
allows us to correct and guide the students' learning, provides information on the
student's performance, informs about the adequacy of the programming, allows
deciding on the corrective measures and above all allows learning of the mistakes and
successes made in the learning process, thus feeding back the teaching strategy.
All proposed activities are evaluative activities and each activity has a
percentage on what it scores in the evaluation.

Evaluation procedures.
In order to evaluate, the evaluation criteria must first be established, that is,
what we want to evaluate, depending on the objectives that have been proposed.
The evaluation criteria that will be taken into account when evaluating are the
following:
 Contributes ideas, listens and considers the contributions of their peers,
correct oral and written expression, creativity, initiative and
entrepreneurial spirit.
● Know the animals.
● Respect other teammates and accept defeat when it occurs.
● Know how to behave in different situations, initiative, respect others,

A continuous evaluation is going to be carried out, so that the progressive progress of


the students towards the proposed objectives is studied, and that not only a final exam is
evaluated, but that each student is assessed their daily work and their progressive progress
towards the proposed objectives. It will also be taken into account that techniques are used to
evaluate the conceptual contents as well as the aptitudes or strategies and the attitudes,
values, operational habits and virtues.
First, you have to do an initial assessment, to see the level at which students are. For
this, the activity of seeing the fragments of the Madagascar film has been suggested to know
which animals the students identify and if they know some of their characteristics. Once the

21
general level of the class is known, the programming will be adapted in the way that is most
convenient to the level observed.
During the development of the lesson plan, the activities described will be carried out.
The activities that are most significant, once done in class, will be corrected by themselves,
so that each of them corrects the activity of some partner of yours. These activities will have
a value of 90% of the final score.
Attitude development will also be carried out during the lesson plan’s development,
keeping a record of the information obtained through checklists, and assessing both values
and attitudes and habits. This part will have a value of 10% of the total of the note.

Attention to diversity
It is understood by attention to diversity to the set of educational actions that try to
prevent and respond to the needs, temporary or permanent, of all the students of the center
and, among them, to those that require a specific action derived from personal or social
factors related to situations of socio-cultural disadvantage, of high capacities, of physical,
psychic, sensory or serious disorders of personality, behavior or development as well as
serious communication and language disorders.
Over the years, diversity has been treated fundamentally, in four different ways within
the educational field: exclusion, segregation, integration and inclusion.
These ways of dealing with diversity are included in the Diversity Attention Plan of
the school. This document includes the set of actions, adaptations of the curriculum,
organizational measures, supports and reinforcements that a center designs, selects and puts
into practice to provide the most adjusted response to the educational, general and particular

26
needs of all students. The analysis and current reality of the center, the determination of the
objectives to be achieved, the measures that will be carried out and the human and material
and didactic resources to be used temporarily or permanently, and the procedure of
monitoring, evaluation and review thereof.
The Diversity Attention Plan is part of the Programación General Anual, which
responds to the principles of equality, equity and educational inclusion as fundamental
values, in accordance with the LOMCE education law.
The process of preparing this plan is driven by the management team of each center
through the reflection of the teaching staff as a whole. Thus, at the beginning of each school
year each center must carry out its Diversity Attention Plan according to the following
phases:
1st Analysis of the starting situation and assessment of the foreseeable needs in
relation to the type of students and the educational offer of the center. For this, the memory of
the previous course, the minutes of the evaluation sessions and the information of the
previous educational stage and of the school counselors will be taken into account.
2nd Proposal for measures of attention to the diversity of students, with the resources
in the center. This proposal must be submitted to the cloister for approval.
3rd Application, monitoring and evaluation of the measures taken, specifying the
moments, instruments, procedures, organs and persons involved. This evaluation must be part
of the annual report of the educational center and will be known by the cloister.
The elements of the Diversity Attention Plan are:
1. Criteria and procedure for the detection and assessment of specific educational
support needs.
2. Specification of objectives and determination of criteria for making decisions.
3. Identification and assessment of the specific needs of educational support that are
derived from learning problems, disability or serious behavior disorder, high capacities or late
incorporation or by requiring a specific program to acquire the host language, or overcome
deficiencies About the basic skills.
4. Description of curricular and organizational measures planned for the entire center.
5. Human and material resources for the development of the Diversity Attention Plan.
6. Roles and responsibility of the different professionals.
7. Collaboration with families and external entities.
8. Evaluation and monitoring of the Diversity Attention Plan.

27
9. Specification of the number of teachers who attend to the students (supports,
teachers of therapeutic pedagogy, speech therapists ...), indicating the hours each of them
dedicates to said students.
10. Specification of the number of students served with specific resources.
Regarding the document of the Plan of Attention to the Diversity of the center, it is a
very complete document. It is public, since it is in the center network.
Throughout the entire course, the applications of the Diversity Attention Plan are
monitored in order to carry out an argumentative evaluation of it at the end of the school year.
This lesson plan will work through information sheets of the contents and proposed
activities that must be applied depending on the diversity of the students, their abilities and
competences. Therefore, these materials can be modified, as well as preparing reinforcement
activities for those who need to work more certain concepts and complementary exercises for
those who need to expand their knowledge, so that the use by students is as much as possible.
In the class there are a girl with high capacities and a boy with ADHD.
The girl with high capacities will go further in the activities, making her classify the
animals in carnivores, herbivores or omnivores in the activities in which the type of
vertebrates they are said, and in which they are asked if they are vertebrates, you have to
classify them in mammals, birds, fish, amphibians or reptiles, depending on the type.
The child with ADHD will have a much more visual and colorful material, so that he
can continue the rhythm.

Conclusion
The use of a bilingual lesson plan helps students to start to be bilinguals at a shorter
age, what makes it possible for them to speak the two languages fluently and understanding
them perfectly in less time.
Learning through games or songs motivates them and brings them closer to wanting
to keep talking and learning in English, since they are not with the book, if not playing.
Personally, I think learn by a global lesson plan improves the learning of the student
in a motivational way, and also they learn more things that they know by the play and the
integrated learning, so it is so important to know how integrated the sciences’s contents in
English, and obviously knowing and knowing how to use CLIL methodology, which is very
useful to teach bilingual contents in a easy way and in a way in which it is known that student
learning will be positive, and without problems when acquiring knowledge.

According to their diet, there are three types of animals: carnivores, herbivores and
omnivores.

Herbivores
An herbivore is an animal that feeds exclusively on plants and not meat. Some herbivores
animals are the rabbit, the elephant, the cow or the goat.

58
Carnivores
Carnivorous animals are those that feed on meat. Some carnivorous animals are the eagle, the
lion, the owl, the shark, the crocodile or the wolf.

Omnivores
Omnivores can eat vegetables and meats so they feed on all kinds of food. Their food
preferences are very varied and enjoy both animal and vegetable products.
This is a great advantage, since they can survive in any environment, which does not happen
with animals that are very specialized in their diet, who run the risk of becoming extinct
when they cannot find the only type of food that their organisms accept. Some omnivores
animals are the monkey, the pig or the fox.
