PROJECT I OUTLINE
- 2. Garcia Gomez Carlos Fernando
- 3. One of the main problems in the teaching of English language
in an educational private institution is that have some new
students who have poor or null knowledge of English language. In
this way, I accepted the challenge to teach these students for
leveling and improving their skills, in order to avoid bad grades,
lack of interest and even worry among people involved (parents,
teachers, and students).
- 4. At first, we have to analyze and describe the most important
reasons to apply this project. In fact, we must describe how the
research was based, it arose of researching in a private school
(Liceo Jerome Bruner) placed at north of Quito, at the beginning of
this new scholar year. After a few days of evaluation, it was
noticed that the new students who came from a public schools, were
not at the same level of knowledge than the other students. Once we
had gathered all the information about the problem, we can start
develop the project, setting the parameters and focusing in the
attainment of goals.
- 5. The preliminary results have shown that there are some
problems due the lack of knowledge of the basic grammatical
structures of English. The evaluation was based on the
corresponding curriculum design for fourth level with topics as:
use of English, vocabulary, personal information, basic grammatical
structures of English, and common expressions in class.
- 6. METHODOLOGY: Classroom assessment methods, outlines a range
of methods teachers use in assessing childrens knowledge.
OBJECTIVE: Show the level of knowledge of the childrenDEVELOPMENT
OF ACTIVITY 1: We organize this examination in the tentative same
schedule for the workshop. It is on Fridays with 2 hours of
duration. The students had 30 minutes for this test, and the
results were duly analyzed.
- 7. OBJECTIVE: Organize in a duly way the workshop to avoid
unexpected events. Once the results were analyzed, it was creating
a curriculum plan to develop the workshop, taking into account all
those details to be thought. The workshop is going to take place
all Fridays at 12:30 to 13:30. Therefore we had to adequate the
classroom and making sure that we have all didactic materials that
this project needs.
- 8. The workshop started with seven children. In the first
class, we started it watching a movie, these are movies oriented to
the teaching of English for children, they are known as Magic
English. These are videos that provide information and enable to
students interact with the characters. This creates a nice
environment for the learning. It is useful start the workshop with
a warm up activity, after that, we used some flashcards to
introduce new Vocabulary. It will be necessary follow the planning
and employing the most suitable methodology for each class, in
order to obtain the expected results
- 9. METHODOLOGY: I think that the most suitable is Inductive
Method, although during the workshop we can used many methodologies
according of students needs. It is important establish a module
plan to develop this project so here is the module plan developed
of competencybased curriculum:CRITERIA:Introduce him/herself and
others in the correct way. Make and answer questions referring to
personal information Recognition of familiar words and phrases
Writing a short paragraph about yourself Reading of short
paragraphs and infer the main idea
- 10. EVALUATION ACTIVITY After each class the students will be
evaluated to follow the leveling process. This enables us implement
tasks, correct some strategies, and reinforce the acquired
knowledge.The Evaluation process must to be applied after each
class due to the short time for developing this project; and it is
important measure the results constantly to get an idea about the
progress of the students

- 12. The last day of the workshop the seven students were
evaluated and the results shown that the 90% of the students
obtained the expected results, despite of during the workshop many
kids joined us this provoked a little delay in the knowledge
adquisition. We started the workshop with seven kids and it
finished with twenty.
- 13. The educational model maybe can have some deficiencies, but
, teachers have to turn the problems into opportunities to learn
more and being a facilitator of knowledge. Throughout this
experience, we could learn about strategies and techniques that can
be used in order to get the proposed objectives.
- 14. There are several problems that arose during the
development of this project. But mistakes are normal in the
learning process. So, it is important consider some aspects to
outline a project. The preliminary phase is important, because we
have to take into account some facts such as who are the learners?
What is their background? Do we count with the duly support of
authorities? Are the parents agreeing with these kinds of
activities?
- 15. I could say that this project has enabled to enrich my
knowledge, and has been an excellent experience for me as a
teacher, I know now that the children can enjoy this way of
learning
