Introduction
The curriculum proposal for immersion rooms run by the Secretaría de Educación
de Bogotá combines CLIL and task-based approaches. The curriculum was
designed as a tool to foster the development of communicative skills in English
as a Foreign Language, therefore, it should not be used as a model to teach
French, Spanish as a Second Language or aborigine languages. It also clearly
emphasizes the development of the four pillars of education, learning to be,
learning to know, learning to do, and learning to learn, put forth by UNESCO’s
International Commission on Education for the Twenty-first Century (UNESCO,
1996). This framework was incorporated into the document Bases para el Plan
Sectorial de Educación 2012 – 2016 (Secretaría de Educación del Distrito, 2012),
and later established as guidelines for foreign language teaching (Secretaría
de Educación del Distrito, 2014). The proposal also contemplates the cross-
curricular axes needed for wellbeing and quality of life: citizenship and
living, gender, differentiated instruction, and information and communication
technology (ICT) (Secretaría de Educación del Distrito, 2014).

This curriculum is action-oriented as it views language learners primarily as


social agents – “members of society who have tasks (not exclusively language-
related) to accomplish in a given set of circumstances, in a specific environment
and within a particular field of action” (Council of Europe, 2001, p. 9). This
approach takes into account the cognitive, motivational, volitional dimensions,
as well as the full range of abilities specific to and applied by the individual
as a social agent. The general competences of language learners include
declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge, skills, existential competence,
and the ability to live in a community (Council of Europe, 2001).

Declarative knowledge is understood here as knowledge resulting from


experience or day-to-day living (empirical knowledge), and from more formal
learning (academic knowledge). This is evident in the proposed curriculum as
students are given the opportunity to learn by doing when developing projects
that are closely related to everyday life activities and issues related to a variety
of fields: culture, sports, citizenship, technology, and others.
Skills and Procedural Knowledge (know-how) depend more
on the ability to carry out procedures than on declarative
knowledge, but may be facilitated by the acquisition of
“forgettable knowledge,” and may also be accompanied
by forms of existential competence. Students in the Existential competence is seen as the sum of the individual
proposed programme are given the opportunity to characteristics, personality traits and attitudes that
strengthen this dimension through the development of concern, for example, one’s self-image and view of others,
tasks in which they demonstrate the ability to use language and the willingness to engage with other people in social
to communicate significant knowledge to the learning interaction. As learning a new language implies expanding
community. The consolidation sessions at the end of each one’s cultural knowledge, students are compelled to
unit also provide students with a more extended space interact with others both to acquire the new language
to bring knowledge to life by sharing with others when and to practise it as well. Tasks along the sessions are
delivering presentations, showing final products such as planned in such a way as to allow students the chance to
posters or brochures. This enables learners to not only show and share their own experiences, points of view and
gain new knowledge, but helps make others aware of their conceptions about the world around them, and then get
findings as well. to know, understand, accept or question their classmates’
insights.

Learning to live together is a dimension in which students


are encouraged to know, accept and respect others
who may be different or even be antagonists. One of the
most effective ways to achieve this is by developing joint
projects. These may include comparing and contrasting the
material and non-material cultures of different regions or
even countries, creating communication codes that could
be used by students to express their feelings and emotions
in an original and practical way, designing community
projects to target the problem and involve particular
populations, and many others. While developing those
projects, learners are presented with problems to solve
by using dialogue and other non-violent methods. They
also participate in processes of setting rules to regulate
behaviour and performance in different areas. By working
together on different projects, students strengthen their
citizenship values and, thus, are better prepared to interact
in a society based on democratic principles.

the classroom. These robots are very simple, and can only understand very basic orders.”
• Elicit the following imperative sentences from the class by pretending to be the robot, performing each action, and asking what order to give for
the action:
Turn left.
Turn right. (each turn is a 45⁰ turn)

• Now, divide the class into groups of four or five, and have them sit at different corners of the room, as far from the doors as possible. Tell the
group that the robots will actually be one member from each group, and that they should choose who it will be. The rest of the group will take
turns giving orders to their robot, directing them to the door. The first team to successfully direct their robot to the door (without cheating) is
the winner.

SEN adaptation: If there’s a student with a physical impairment for walking around, assign him/her the role of a leading student only and assign
other students the robot role.

Guns kill, but hatred destroys us the most. Free to dance Know your human rights
And the problem could never be solved you see, Free to jump and free to prance ’Cause it can help you someday.

ways baking cakes and pies. Now she doesn’t bake so much. She’s started eating more friends from the beginning because we were into the same things: computers
healthily in her old age, salads and vegetables and things. It’s funny how she’s changed. and football, mostly. But we had quite a few of the same hobbies for a while. I

B (Boy) ago. We’re still friends on Facebook but we don’t really have much contact.
He’s four years older than me and that seemed like a huge amount when we were chil-
dren. When we were at the same school we’d never talk to each other during school E(Girl)

cool. It was great to see what real student life was like when I was still at school. Now together ever since. Well, it’s only been eighteen months, and some people say
that he’s working he’s really busy, but we still hang out sometimes. We go to football that isn’t very long, but it seems like ages to me. We’ve got such similar person-
matches together because we both support our home team. It’s always good to see alities and so much in common. I’m sure we’ll stay together forever.

We’ve known each other since we were five and we’ve always got on really well. Well,
apart from that time when we fell out because we both liked the same boy. But he went
off with Heather Jenkins, so we made friends again quite quickly! We both like the
same kind of music and going dancing at the weekend, and when we were younger we
went out on our bikes together. At school we’re good at different things. I’m good at
languages and Laura’s good at maths. That’s good though – it means that we can help
each other with our homework. Next year I’m probably going to study in London and
she’s going to Manchester, but I’m sure our relationship won’t change.

2.4 / Guidelines to create a slogan


Guidelines to create a slogan

Identification. A good slogan must stay consistent with the brand name either
obviously stated or strongly implied. If possible, make sure to include the name
of your business in it.

Memorable. Some of the best slogans are still being used today, even though
they were launched several years ago.

Beneficial. Reveal your purpose and benefits of the product or service you
offer: turn bad into good, suggest the risk of not using the product & create a
positive feeling for the consumers.

Differentiation. The slogan should highlight the factor that sets your product,
company or service apart from your competitors.

Keep it simple. Use just a few words, but make sure to convey the message you
want to transmit.

years old and from a poor family when she made an amazing discovery. She found
the first dinosaur skeleton, that of an ichthyosaur, on the cliffs of Lyme Regis in the
south of England. That was in 1811, and until then people had thought that it was
impossible for an animal to become extinct. Because she was a woman and didn’t
have enough money for a proper education, she wasn’t able to take part properly
in the scientific community of the time. But she read as much scientific literature
as she could and continued to search for fossils, often risking her own life to get
them by climbing dangerous cliffs. She once nearly died in a landslide which killed
her dog. Although she didn’t write famous books about fossils, her contribution to
paleontology, the study of fossils, is said to be enormous. I admire her because she
kept on trying to make new discoveries at a time when usually only men, and men
with money, were allowed to be scientists. After her death the writer Charles Dickens
said that ‘the carpenter’s daughter has won a name for herself, and has deserved
to win it’.

Family fun is an important part of building a strong family identity. When


families have a good time together, they build a bond that can last a
lifetime. Traditions are often developed during these times, and it is
precisely by them that families are defined and individualized. Holidays
can also provide opportunities for fun that may develop into special
traditions. For example, my family and I started the tradition of having

5.1 / Family fun


ajiaco for lunch and throwing a karaoke party every Father’s Day.

Families also need to recreate together. I’m not talking about watching
TV together – I’m talking about playing a football game, playing cards,
or just sitting out on the porch talking and laughing together. Camping,
fishing, biking, and hiking are great times of family recreation. Parents
must take the initiative and make these things happen, be available,
and help their children value the time shared with their relatives. As
families spend time together in both spontaneous and planned activi-
ties, their family relationships grow stronger.

What do you do to have fun with your family?

4.1 / Colombian myths and legends


1. The Weeping Woman

La Llorona or The Weeping Woman is a popular legend in Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Central America. The basic story tells of a beautiful woman by the name of Maria killing her children by
drowning them, in order to be with the man that she loved. When the man rejects her, she kills herself. When she goes to heaven, she is not permitted to enter until she finds her children. People say
she comes out at night crying “Ay, mis hijos! Ay, mis hijos!” which translates to “Oh, my children!”

2. Scrubland Mother

The myth of Madre Monte (Scrubland Mother) is very popular in the country side; farmers generally refer to her for explanations of various natural and inexplicable events in the Andes Mountains. The
legend says she is an elegant lady, dressed in fresh leaves and green moss. She protects nature and forest animals

Because she is a protector of nature and forest animals, she becomes furious when humans destroy them. She cries and howls and people say she is always present when there are floods of storms
and that these things happen because Madre Monte is offended by the damaging acts committed by men

3. One legged Woman

In the middle of the jungle lives a mythical woman who torments any unfaithful spouses who lives in the Andes. The Patasola, or “one foot”, calls men by crying for help as a seductive and beautiful
woman. Once the man is close, the Patasola becomes a horrible one-legged woman with ugly eyes, a ferocious mouth lined with feline teeth, and hair that falls over her face to hide her ugliness.

Before, this woman was a beautiful married woman with three children. Her husband discovered that she had a boyfriend, so he killed the man with an axe and cut his wife’s leg. Both died that night.
Many people say that they have seen the Patasola jumping through the woods on her one leg, moaning and screaming.
