COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is a two term English Content and Language Integrated course program that focus on the development of speaking skills through the
enhancement of cognitive and socio affective strategies in order to acquire lifelong learning and communicative competences. This course
will also help students to acquire strategic competences – “the ability to solve communication problems despite an inadequate command of
the linguistic and sociocultural code” (Mariani, 1994) – in order to contribute to the development of an overall communicative competence.
The type of content based instruction to be used is the Theme based model. Theme based CBI is usually found in EFL contexts. Theme
based CBI will be taught by an EFL teacher with a content specialist on Natural science, Religion, Spanish, technology and Human
Development school subjects. The topics of study and the teaching-learning strategies were carefully selected and built on students own
interest and school demands. These topics to be dealt in the classes are tailored to enhance personal development through speaking activities
and group and pair work interaction. The program is divided in 5 modules that will be covered in the third and fourth terms. A total of 48
hours.

METHODOLOGY
The methodology aims at encouraging students both intellectually and affectively in order to achieve a meaningful learning. The
theory behind the nature of language and language learning will focus on Content based Instructions. These activities are designed for the
purpose of remembering, understanding, practicing, obtaining information, thinking for themselves, learning by doing, going beyond
memorization, reflecting on own thinking and feelings, monitoring own process and keeping a record of what it is done. These activities
would also provide the learners with the opportunity to work with their peers in role playing, panels and to interact with teacher’s lectures
and with the materials. The type of activities selected can pursue the following order: presentation, practice and evaluation. The activities
design for the presentation phase can help the learners be introduced to the learning material for the first time. It can generate the input for
speaking. It will involve authentic reading or listening texts. The practice phase will engross activities that provide learners with controlled
practice, guided practice and free practice. This will lead to a set of comprehension and application activities where students must show
understanding of written or spoken discourse and an integration of knowledge, personalized learning and creativity.
INSTRUMENTS OF EVALUATION
Oral testing: (After each module). Through familiar speaking activities in order to evaluate different cognitive and socio affective
strategies. The use of rubrics will help the teacher to assess students learning process. The rubrics focus on fluency and content rather than
accuracy. Decision making on what criteria to apply on the different techniques to evaluate speaking: Interpersonal mode and/or
presentational mode, moving from skill building to skill using and moving from meaningful to communicative to situational activities.
Teacher’s assessment: A subjective estimate of the learner`s overall performance
Continuous assessment: observation of performance during assignments. Grading schemes that include some measure of class
participation. Teacher records participatory action during the classes.
Learning journal (Diaries): Students write what they have learned so far and what technique was very helpful for them. What they need to
review or straighten. Personal growing (PEI demands). They write how they have grown as a person under the perspective of personal
development and the value of respect.
Self assessment: The learners themselves evaluate their own performance, using clear criteria and weighing systems agreed on beforehand
