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.

• After saying “hello” to 3 or 4 Ss, the puppet changes the greeting and says “Good morning” or “Good Afternoon” to the rest of the Ss, depending
on the time of the class. The T helps Ss to answer back to the puppet, - good morning or afternoon-.

• The T uses the good morning and good afternoon flashcards to help Ss understand the difference.

T must encourage

To encourage • After saying hello, good morning or good afternoon, the puppet asks the entire class, What’s my name? and T helps Ss answering, by saying the good afternoon to the
students to use name of the puppet. One extra help could be if the T asks Ss is the puppet’s name… (giving another name) so Ss can answer no, and then after puppet to practice

• T asks two Ss to stand up. T draws with his/her marker a couple of eyes in Ss hands, and tells them that they are going to use their hands as
puppets. T encourages Ss to try to greet the other partner’s puppet using the expressions they have just practiced. T asks the whole class to try
to help their partners remember what they should say to greet each other. T supports and helps Ss do it.

• Finally, T pairs Ss and draws eyes in everybody’s hands. T has Ss try to practice greetings and telling their names using complete sentences as
possible with his/her help and support. T gives group feedback.

SEN adaptation: T can also elicit vocabulary from Ss who have speaking difficulties or are not able to produce the sentences mentioned above. The
idea is that the T asks Ss questions such as: Is this your mutant? Show me its arms; show me its eyes; how many eyes does it have? Let’s count, and
the T counts with the help of the rest of the class. And so on to allow Ss to feel confident. If time allows it T can als have these Ss to repeat some of
the sentences after saying yes or no to the T’s questions. E.g. show me its legs? How many leg does it have? Three, please repeat it has three legs.

SEN adaptation: T can also ask Ss to mime the family member S/he mentions in case there are Ss who can’t move around the classroom.

• T takes out a picture of his/her family and presents it to the class by saying: “This is my family”. T presents each member of the family with their
names, e.g. “This is Alex, he’s my father; this is Nora, she’s my sister, etc”. The idea is that the T reviews the following vocabulary: mother, father,
sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather.

SEN adaptation: If Ss don’t have one of the family members mentioned in their family, e.g. they don’t have a father or a brother, T can teach them
how to say that in English, “I don’t have a father/ brother/sister/ grandfather/grandmother”. But it is not expected for Ss to learn this structure, so
T needs to drill it and repeat it every time is needed. Also T can help them in case they want to name another family member not taught so far, to
avoid Ss feeling excluded from the activity for not having any of the family members their classmates have.

Hello, I’m Lottie. I’m 10 years old. I live with my dad and my sister in England. I’m going to tell you
about my dad.
This is my dad. His name is Paul. He’s 46 years old. His hair is black and grey. He’s got green eyes.

I’ve got green eyes too!

4.2 / My dad
My dad gets up early most days. He makes our breakfast, and sometimes he takes me to school.
My dad’s making my breakfast in this picture.

My dad is a teacher. He doesn’t teach children. He teaches other people who work with him. Dad’s
at work in this picture.
My dad gets home at 5 o’clock. Sometimes I help him cook our tea. In this picture I’m helping to
make a pasta sauce.

After tea my dad sometimes helps me with my homework. He’s helping me with maths here. I like
maths!
In the evening we sometimes watch TV. Or my dad reads. He loves reading. I love reading too!

At the weekends we do different things. Sometimes we go to the library. I’m choosing some books
here.
Sometimes at the weekend we go to the cinema, or to a concert. My dad loves music. Sometimes
the concerts are a bit boring.

It’s great living with my dad and my sister.

AIMS: By the end of the session, Ss will talk about their favourite fruit, vegetable, food and drink and will classify them into healthy or unhealthy meals

CORE ACTIVITIES T must begin the class with their own starting routine before continuing with the following activities

TIME STAGE AIM PROCEDURE INTERACTION TIPS AND MATERIALS


• T asks Ss to sit on the floor in two rows.

• T explains to the Ss that they are going to play Eraser races.

• T will show four different flashcards or cut outs related to fruit, vegetables, drinks or food that Ss have worked with during the previous 3
sessions.

• The flashcards or cut-outs must be on the floor and at a good distance from where Ss are sitting, so Ss have the chance to run towards the
images when the activity begins.

• T explains to the Ss that the first S in the row is going to have an eraser and when he/she listens to the word, the T mentions both Ss in the first

previous units
• Once T explains the game, T writes each team name on the board. T starts calling out images and Ss start playing. Every time a S from one team
wins the T draws a happy face or a star next to the name or colour of the team.

• After 3 times, T can delegate more responsibility to ss by asking one of them to call out the name of the foods.

• The activity can be done several times until every S has had the chance to participate either running or calling out names of foods at least once.

SEN ADAPTATION: physically challenged ss can be chosen to call out the names of the foods for other ss to run and identify in the flashcards. This
may give them an active role and responsibility in the class.

any sport? which one? In the morning? afternoon? or evening?” T asks the same questions to different Ss about 3 or 4 times. Then T chooses a high
achiever to try to ask the same type of questions to a partner, and T must help him?her. To produce complete perfect sentences is not a must. At
least, Ss just have to communicate the main message using key words.

• T must remind Ss (based on the previous unit) that exercising is not only going to the gym, it can be playing in the school or at home their favourite
games and sports.
