Teaching Programme for the third term of English as a foreign language (EFL) in the 1st ESO course

Abstract

The present Final Master's Thesis (FMT) consists mainly in the creation and elaboration of a teaching programme for the first course of compulsory secondary education (ESO), specifically, for the first foreign language classroom: English. In addition, the paper includes a constructive critical analysis of an annual teaching programme for the first year of ESO in the English subject. The students in this course come from primary schools, which is the reason why their proficiency and level of English is around A1. Through the development and application of our teaching programme in the classroom, our aim is to ensure that all students achieve, with the help of an adequate and appropriate teaching-learning process, all the objectives that were established at the beginning of the course. The didactic programme has been designed to be worked through cooperative learning; and using gamification and game-based learning as learning tools to work on listening, speaking, reading and writing; in other words, the four skills, because if we are able to work on these four aspects, we will be able to obtain a good command of the studied language.
