1. THEORETICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROJECT
THE advantages and opportunities offered by the current educational legislation
(LOE), the increasingly multicultural demands and needs of our society, along with
the directives established by the Council of Europe in the Common European
Framework of Reference for languages, are three key aspects which are reflected in
the Explorers project.
With a marked vocation towards education and learning, where pupils learn English
through motivating activities of a ludic nature which allow the foreign language to be
acquired subconsciously and naturally, and which involve the challenge of boosting
the ability of students to perceive the knowledge of a foreign language not only as
one more subject but as the discovery of an outside world of which we all form a
responsible part, the project promotes interaction in class in order to develop an
attitude of awareness towards social norms and values, within the psychopedagogical
principles upon which the curriculum design for the stage of Primary Education is
based.
The aim of our project is to ensure that students acquire all the skills stipulated by the
LOE, focussing, logically, on the competence of linguistic communication, and laying
particular emphasis upon social and civic competence, learning-to-learn and
autonomy and personal initiative.
In this project, teachers must create the necessary conditions for learning, with
particular emphasis upon diversity. They will prepare and organise the work, helping
to develop it; coordinate actions; encouraging positive attitudes towards English
language and culture, attracting and developing pupils’ interest in the new and the
creative, intervening in an active and reflexive manner, and treating mistakes as signs
of progress.. Meanwhile, pupils must play an active role in in the learning process,
being, as the LOE recommends, the cbetween of the process, and thus developing
their autonomy and independence.

2. METHODOLOGY
Explorers is a six-level series which proposes fast grammatical progression combined
with a methodology focused on the four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking).
Explorers transcends classroom teaching, promoting the values of family, friendship,
cooperation, help and gratitude.
Vocabulary and grammarNew language is introduced in connection with the topic of each unit. It appears in the
students’ book via the flashcards and recordings and is practised with songs and
games or activities designed to motivate students.
SkillsEvery unit contains a five-page section devoted specifically to the development of the
four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking.
StoriesEach unit contains a story in which new words appear in a fun and motivating context.
These stories also permit cyclical revision of previously studied linguistic structures and
provide new opportunities to practise material already encountered.
In Explorers 3 the unit story features the main characters of the course. The three
extension stories complement the language and offer students the opportunity to give
an answer. Every two units there is a comic story of three episodes which allows for
language to be revised in an entertaining context.
Exploring the real worldExplorers is a flexible method, which also pays considerable attention to the real world,
as is reflected by the contents of the DVD, coordinated with the Class Book. The theme
of the unit is explored in greater depth in lesson 7. The DVD also includes material
from the real world
Songs and chantsIn every unit there is a song in order for children to practise new language, new
vocabulary and new sounds. Melody and rhythm are essential for the memorisation of
new words. When they sing, children are able to shrug off their fears and shyness and
practise language in a natural way with their peers whilst also enjoying themselves.
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press4
Songs, then, provide a good opportunity to introduce movement and fun into the
classsroom
Drama and Total Physical Response
Students of any age, especially those who move well, benefit from methods which
associate language with actions. The more body language is connected to the learning
process, the more likely it is that students will absorb and retain information. For this
reason, children are taught actions which accompany the songs or stories. In
Explorers, children have the opportunity to act out the stories and perform in simple
plays. One of the main obstacles when learning a language at any age is self-
perception. Theatre appeals to children’s imagination and is an excellent way of
interesting them in the stories and improving their communication skills. In this way
children will learn to communícate and make themselves understood and will develop
skills which will enable them to express themselves with greater fluency in everyday
situations by practising in class with a story before experiencing the same situation in
a real context.
ValuesValues or civic education are a fundamental part of Explorers. It is essential to focus
upon children as people beyond their linguistic skills and improve their behaviour and
development of correct attitudes; as well as teaching them how their behaviour impacts
upon their environment and peers.
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press5
3. KEY COMPETENCES
In the Ley Orgánica de Educación (LOE) definition of the curriculum, we find both the
traditional components (objectives, contents, teaching methods and assessment
criteria) as well as key competences. This is one of the guiding elements of the
curriculum as a whole and, consequently, a guide in the processes of teaching and
learning. In fourth grade of primary school pupils have to participate in the so-called
diagnostic assessment, in which they have to demonstrate the acquirement of certain
skills. This assessment does not have academic consequences for students, but the
fact that the results help guide cbetweens to take decisions regarding students’
learning gives us some idea as to how educational processes are conditioned by this
element in the sense of being much more functional. In sixth grade of primary school
the decision as to whether pupils are promoted to the subsequent level is partly based
on whether or not they have acquired the key competences, as a result of which they
become a reference for student assessment.
As opposed to an educational model focused upon the the acquirement of more or less
theoretical knowledge, often unrelated, an educational process based upon the
acquirement of skills emphasises, above all, the acquirement of some vital know-how,
practical and integrated, know-how which students will have to demonstrate (this is
rather more than functional training). In brief, a skill is the putting into practice and
demonstration of the capacity to integrate knowledge, abilities and attitudes to resolve
problems and situations in different contexts. In a very graphic and succinct manner,
there is a definition of the putting into practice of acquired knnowledge, knowledge in
action, in other words, mobilising knowledge and skills in a specific situation (real and
different from the one in which these were learned), activating existing resources or
knowledge (although one thinks they are absent because they have been forgotten).
There is one aspect which should be highlighted, regarding what might be called the
combined character of the skill: the pupil, via what he knows, must demonstrate what
he can apply, but also what he can be. In this way we see how a skill integrates the
different contents which are worked on in the classroom (concepts, procedures and
attitudes), an example of integral training of the pupil. To summarise, we are
acknowledging that the academic instiitution wil not only prepare students in the
knowledge of technical and scientific know-how, but also as citizens, so they should
evince a series of civic and intellectual attitudes which imply respect towards others,
being responsible, team-work...
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press6
Another aspect is also important: acquiring competences allows one to tackle the
constant renewal of knowledge which occurs in any area of learning. The student’s
academic training takes place in school over a limited number of years, but the need
for personal and/or professional preparation never ends, so that a competence in the
use, for example, of information and communication technology, will enable access to
this tool to obtain the information necessary at any given moment (obviously, after
analysing its quality). If we also bear in mind that it is often impossible to consider in
depth all the contents of the curriculum, it is clear that the student must acquire this
competence, that of learning to learn.
In our educational system, the key competences regarded as those which students
should possess when they finish their obligatory education in order to deal with the
demands of their personal and working lives are as follows:
Competence in linguistic communication
Mathematical competence.
Competence in knowledge of and interaction with the physical world.
Data processing and digital competence.
Social and civic competence.
Cultural and artistic competence.
Learning-to-learn.
Autonomy and personal initiative.
But, what do we understand by each of these competences? In essence, and
concentrating on the most important aspect of the school curriculum, each of them
contributes the following to the student’s personal and intellectual preparation:
COMPETENCE IN LINGUISTIC COMMUNICATIONThis competence involves using the language as a spoken and written
communication tool, and as a means of learning and self regulation of thought,
emotions and behaviour. It contributes to the creation of a positive self-image and
encourages constructive relationships with others and with the environment.
Learning to communicate meaning establishing links with other people and
cultures. It is fundamental in resolving conflict and for peaceful coexistence.
Acquiring this competence involves a command of oral and written language in a
variety of contexts and the functional use of at least one foreign language.
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press7
MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCEThis competence consists, above all, of the ability to use numbers and basic
mathematical operations, symbols and mathematical reasoning to produce and
express information. Students learn about quantitative and spatial features and
resolve everyday problems. The acquisition of this competence means applying
skills and attitudes which allow for mathematical reasoning, understanding of
mathematical arguments, and the ability to express oneself and communicate in
mathematical language integrating mathematical concepts with other types of
knowledge.
COMPETENCE IN KNOWLEDGE OF AND INTERACTION WITH THE PHYSICAL WORLD
This involves the ability to interact with the physical world in it’s natural state and
see how it has been affected by human intervention. It helps to understand events
and the consequences of different activities designed to improve and preserve
conditions for life, of other people, and other living things. This competence implies
the acquisition of scientific rational thought which enables the student to interpret
information and make decisions with autonomy and personal initiative, and to use
ethical values in personal and social decisions.
DATA PROCESSING AND DIGITAL COMPETENCESearching, finding, and processing skills are developed in this competence, as are
the communication of information and its transformation into knowledge. Aspects
such as the access to, and selection of information are included, and the
transmission of this information in different formats. Students learn to use ITC as an
essential media for information and communication. The acquisition of this
competence involves use of technology to solve problems efficiently and having a
critical attitude towards the information available.
SOCIAL AND CIVIC COMPETENCEThis competence involves understanding the social reality of the world in which we
live and being a democratic citizen in the today’s plural society. It incorporates
individual behaviour patterns that allow us to function and coexist in society, have
contact with others, cooperate, assume commitments and deal with conflict.
Acquiring this competence means knowing how put oneself in the place of others,
accept differences, be tolerant and respect their values, beliefs, cultures and the
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press8
culture and personal history. To summarise, it implies an understanding of the
social reality we live in, the ability to deal with conflict applying ethical values and
understanding of the rights and obligations we have as citizens, showing solidarity
and responsibility.
CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC COMPETENCEThis competence involves learning about, appreciating, understanding and
evaluating a variety of cultural and artistic statements, and treating them as a
source of pleasure and personal enrichment and as part of the cultural patrimony of
different societies. Appreciation and enjoyment of art and other cultural statements
and an open and receptive attitude to the variety of art forms lead to the
conservation of a common cultural legacy and encourages the student’s own
creative capacity.
LEARNING-TO-LEARNThis competence involves on the one hand starting the learning process, and on
the other hand being capable of continuing the process in an autonomous fashion.
It implies the acceptance of a variety of possible answers to the same problem, and
motivation to search for these answers using different means. To sum up, it implies
an organisation of the student’s own capacity to efficiently manage resources and
intellectual processes.
AUTONOMY AND PERSONAL INITIATIVEThis competence refers to the ability to decide using one’s own criteria and to
successfully take the necessary initiatives to develop and take responsibility for the
chosen option, both at a personal and social level and in the workplace or school.
The acquisition of this competence implies creativity, innovation, responsibility and
a critical approach to the development of individual or group projects.
How is each key competence attained by using this material?
We are going to explain in brief the most relevant aspects of our project, subject to the
denands of daily teaching practice at any given time.:
In essence and reflecting the most significant elements of the school currículum, each
competence contributes the following to the student’s personal and intellectual
preparation:
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press9
A. KEY COMPETENCES DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE LEARNING OF THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE
COMPETENCE IN LINGUISTIC COMMUNICATIONThis competence involves using the language as a spoken and written communication
tool, and as a means of learning and self regulation of thought, emotions and
behaviour. It contributes to the creation of a positive self-image and encourages
constructive relationships with others and with the environment. Learning to
communicate meaning establishing links with other people and cultures. It is
fundamental in resolving conflict and for peaceful coexistence. Acquiring this
competence involves a command of oral and written language in a variety of contexts
and the functional use of at least one foreign language.
Foreign language learning contributes directly to the development of this competence,
completing, enriching and adding new aspects of comprehension and expression to the
general communicative competence of the student. All textbooks published by Oxford
University Press offer a wide range of activities which encourage authentic
communication in the classroom, with a systematic development of written and oral
skills and opportunities for personalisation
The first two lessons of each unit incluye communicative activities to practise
the structures presented in the unit SB págs. 6 - 7,14-15, 24-25. In the fourth
lesson of each unit the personalised short story is dramatised SB pags.
9,17,27,35,48,58. The fifth lesson of each unit includes activities which improve
pronunciation SB págs. 10,18,28
DATA PROCESSING AND DIGITAL COMPETENCE
Searching, finding, and processing skills are developed in this competence, as are the
communication of information and it’s transformation into knowledge. Aspects such as
the access to, and selection of information are included, and the transmission of this
information in different formats. Students learn to use ITC as an essential medium for
information and communication. The acquisition of this competence involves use of
technology to solve problems efficiently and having a critical attitude towards the
information available.
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press10
Information and communication technology offers the possibility to comunícate
in real time with any part of the world, as well as simple and immediate access
to a constant flow of information which increases every day. Knowledge of a
foreign language offers the possibility to communicate using new technology
real, functional contexts for communication.. This competence consists of
having the ability to obtain, process and communícate information and turn it
into knowledge.
Explorers features a Songs CD so that students can practise pronunciation with
songs. It also offers the possibility of connecting to Internet and playing
interactive games in the Oxford Online Learning Zone. Explorers includes a
Teacher’s Resource CD-ROM containing a wide variety of material which will
facilitate the teacher’s task and help to reinforce the language studied.
SOCIAL AND CIVIC COMPETENCEThis competence involves understanding the social reality of the world in which we live
and being a democratic citizen in today’s plural society. It incorporates individual
behaviour patterns that allow us to function and coexist in society, have contact with
others, cooperate, assume commitments and deal with conflict. Acquiring this
competence means knowing how put oneself in the place of others, accept
differences, be tolerant and respect their values, beliefs, culture and personal history.
To summarise, it implies an understanding of the social reality we live in, the ability to
deal with conflict applying ethical values and understanding of the rights and
obligations we have as citizens, showing solidarity and responsibility.
Languages are used for social communication, but also as a vehicle for cultural
communication and transmission. Learning a foreign language involves an
understanding of cultural features and information related to the communities which
speak the language. This favours an understanding of the society we live in through
respect and acceptance of different cultures. Tolerance and integration are developed
and an appreciation of features of, and differences in, cultural identity.
Each unit includes activities which encourage good behaviour and respect for
others. SB págs. 12-13, 20-21 At the end of the book the festival sections
reinforce awareness of the different material covered in each unit, as do the
different stories at the end of Units 2, 4 y 6 and The Toys.
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press11
CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC COMPETENCEThis competence involves learning about, appreciating, understanding and evaluating a
variety of cultural and artistic statements, and treating them as a source of pleasure
and personal enrichment and as part of the cultural patrimony of different societies.
Appreciation and enjoyment of art and other cultural statements and an open and
receptive attitude to the variety of art forms lead to the conservation of a common
cultural legacy and encourages the student’s own creative capacity.
Learning a foreign language helps to develop this competence if the linguistic models
contain, even in the limited way possible at this level, cultural information. This
competence, then, encourages expression and communication in order to perceive and
understand different realities and products of the artistic and cultural world.
Artistic competence involves a basic understanding of techniques, resources and
conventions related to the different artistic idioms, music, literature, visual and stage
arts or different aspects of so-called popular culture.
All the Units offer the possibility of expressing oneself via sketches, songs,
plays and written work both in the student’s book and the workbook. SB P. 10-
11, 18-19, 77-79...,
LEARNING-TO-LEARNThis competence involves on the one hand starting the learning process, and on the
other hand being capable of continuing the process in an autonomous fashion. It
implies the acceptance of a variety of possible answers to the same problem, and
motivation to search for these answers using different means. To sum up, it implies an
organisation of the student’s own capacity to efficiently manage resources and
intellectual processes.
Learning a foreign language is far more effective if it includes contents directly
related to reflection upon one’s own learning, so that each child identifies how
to learn better and which strategies to use to improve.
This involves the awareness of those capacities which form a part of learning,
such as attention, concentration, memory, comprehension, linguistic expression
and motivation, for example.
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press12
Every activity in Explorers helps to develop this competence.
AUTONOMY AND PERSONAL INITIATIVEThis competence refers to the ability to decide using ones own criteria and to
successfully take the necessary initiatives to develop and take responsibility for the
chosen option, both at a personal and social level and in the workplace or school.
The acquisition of this competence implies creativity, innovation, responsibility and a
critical approach to the development of individual or group projects.
Decisions which result from reflection on the learning process favour autonomy. As
autonomy and personal initiative often involve others, this competence necessitates
social skills such as cooperation, flexibility, negotiation, teamwork, seeing others’ points
of view, dialogue, and the assertiveness to explain one’s own decisions. Autonomy and
personal initiative involve being able to imagine, begin, develop and evaluate one’s
actions or individual or group projects with creativity, confidence, responsibility and a
critical attitude. In this sense it requires the ability to revise previous ideas or create
new ones, finding solutions and putting them into practice.
The stories encourage cooperation and respect for others, teamwork, valuing the
opinions of others, etc.
Personal initiative is another competence to bear in mind within the different
levels of Explorers, as it increases students’ self-confidence and the initiative
necessary to carry out different activities and put them into practice in real life .
B. KEY COMPETENCES NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING
MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCEThis competence consists, above all, of the ability to use numbers and basic
mathematical operations, symbols and mathematical reasoning to produce and
express information. Students learn about quantitative and spatial features and resolve
everyday problems. The acquisition of this competence means applying skills and
attitudes which allow for mathematical reasoning, understanding of mathematical
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press13
arguments, and the ability to express oneself and communicate in mathematical
language integrating mathematical concepts with other types of knowledge.
Using numbers and basic operations,symbols and forms of expression and
mathematical reasoning to produce and interpret information, to know more about
quantitative and spatial aspects of reality and to resolve problems related to daily life.
Part of mathematical competence is the ability to interpret and express with clarity and
precision information, data and arguments.
Different lessons of the Students’ Book (SB) and the Workbook (WB) include
activities related to mathematics which interrelate two different subjects SB pp.
2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 14; WB pp, 3, 5, 8, 9, 18,24
COMPETENCE IN KNOWLEDGE OF AND INTERACTION WITH THE PHYS-ICAL WORLD
This involves the ability to interact with the physical world in it’s natural state and see
how it has been affected by human intervention. It helps to understand events and the
consequences of different activities designed to improve and preserve conditions for
life, of other people, and other living things. This competence implies the acquisition of
scientific rational thought which enables the student to interpret information and make
decisions with autonomy and personal initiative, and to use ethical values in personal
and social decisions.
Interacting with the physical world, both in its natural aspects and those generated by
human action, in such a way that facilitates the understanding of events, the prediction
of consequences and activity directed towards the improvement and preservation of
the conditions of one’s own life, that of other people and of all other living creatures.
Taking as a starting point knowledge of the human body, nature, and the interaction of
mankind with nature, this competence allows students to discuss rationally the
consequences of different lifestyles and take decisions about a healthy physical and
mental way of life in a healthy and safe environment. The responsible use of natural
resources, environmental conservation, and preservation of individual and collective
health are recognised as key to quality of life.
Different activities worked upon throughout the various students’ books
improve pupils’ knowledge of themselves and of the physical world which
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press14
surrounds them, as a consequence of performing the activities included in the
books (examples: SB pp. 11-13, 19-21, 29-31 WB pp. 15, 17,24
Continuous learning
In a competence there iis no knowledge which is only acquired in and valid for a
particular subject (especially in and for this one). Everything students learn in different
subjects (and not only at school) forms a background of culture and information
which should serve them throughout their lives, which they should be able to use at
specific moments and in differerent situations (language is, in this sense,
paradigmatic) . For this reason, any of these competences may be achieved if not in
all, certainly in most curriculum subjects and for that reason too these competences
can be used and applied in all these subjects, regardless of in which one they have
been acquired (transversality). Being competent should guarantee the completion of
determined learnings, but also permit the attainment of others, both at school itself and
beyond, a guarantee of continuous learning (or, in this case, the capacity to
communicate in very diverse situations, some of which pupils themselves may not yet
even perceive as likely in the future).
Nevertheless, clearly there is an obvious interrelation between the different elements of
the curriculum, one which we must highlight in order to make suitable use of all the
curriculum subjects employed in the teaching-learning process. When in a didactic
programme like this one the objectives of a unit are indicated formulated ( like the
assessment criteria, in terms of abilities), we know that these determine the choice of
contents, in the same way that we should employ assessment criteria which
demonstrate whether or not pupils attain them. Thus, assessment criteria allow for a
double interpretation: on the one hand, those related to the pupils’ learning as a whole,
in other words, there will be some assessment criteria specifically linked to concepts,
others to procedures and others to attitudes, as all of these contents need to be
assessed because they were worked on in class and are those which are assesssed
at different stages during application of continuous assessment; and on the other,
there will be assessment criteria which have been formulated more with regard to their
relationship with key competences.
The assessment of key competences is an assessment model which differs from that
of assessment criteria, both because it is applied at different stages of other
assessments, and because its purpose, though complementary, is different. If we
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press15
assume that key competences involve a real and practical application of knowledge,
abilities and attitudes, the way of checking or assessing whether the pupil has acquired
them is to reproduce application situations which are as real as possible, and in these
situations it is customary for the pupil to use this accumulated background (all kinds of
contents) but to respond, above all, to practical situations. In this way, when we assess
competences we are essentially, though not exclusively, assessing procedures and
attitudes, which is why we relate them to assessment criteria that are more procedural
and attitudinal.
SUBCOMPETENCESThe competences by their very nature are generic. To use them as a reference for
pedagogical actions and to really demonstrate the competences acquired by the
students, they need to be broken down into more specific objectives related to other
elements of the curriculum. We have called these objective subcompetences, and
without covering all the possibilities, they do include those most closely related to the
subject curriculum and most prominent in all subjects on account of their
interdisciplinary nature.
In foreign language learning, these subcompetences are as follows (there are other
competences/subcompetences which are also acquired in the area of Foreign
Language–English, though not in this grade):
Competence in linguistic communication Express thoughts, emotions, experiences and opinions orally and simply.
Adapt spoken style to a variety of communicative contexts, taking into account non-
verbal features and respecting norms of communicative exchanges.
Understand social and cultural conventions when producing texts
Understand a variety of texts types typical of the academic setting and understand-
ing the communicative intention and formal features.
Take pleasure in reading and use reading to discover other places, languages and
cultures.
Be conscious of the need to respect spelling rules in the production of written texts
Understand principles of word formation as a means of extending vocabulary
Use a sufficient range of vocabulary to be able to express oneself orally and in writ-
ing in specific situations.
Compose texts typical of the academic environment, appropriate to the communic-
ative objective.
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press16
Write texts to express ideas, feelings and experiences
Data processing and digital competence Search for, obtain, process and communicate information in the foreign language,
transforming it into knowledge, using the computer or the internet.
Analyse critically the information obtained
Social and civic competence Use dialogue as a basic tool for interpersonal communication and in the resolution
of conflict.
Understand the values which characterise a democratic society: freedom, solidarity,
participation, citizenship, tolerance.
Value linguistic diversity as a cultural advantage.
Cultural and artistic competence Appreciate cultural diversity as seen though artistic statements.
Learning-to-learn Understand and habitually use the main techniques and strategies which favour the
intellectual process (summary, note taking, concept maps...).
Use a variety of sources for finding and processing information
Autonomy and personal initiative Show initiative and personal creativity
Develop social skills.
Mathematical competence Apply logical reasoning to chains of argument, identifying the fundamental ideas.
Competence in knowledge of and interaction with the physical world
Recognise geographical spaces and conditions where other cultures are located or
come from and which may determine and influence the development of these
cultures.
Identify questions or problems and obtain conclusions based on evidence.
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press17
All these competentes and subcompetences bring into play different strategies and
different linguistic and discursive skills are employed in a contextualised manner.
Therefore, the activities in which the foreign language is used are set within fields
which may be public (everything related to daily social interaction), personal family
relationships and individual social habits), professional or educational. Students will
use communication strategies in a natural and systematic manner in order to make
effective the communication activities performed by means of communicative skills.
The skills developed will be: productive (speaking and writing), receptive (listening and
reading) and based on interraction or mediation.
Learning tasks or activities will constitute the core of didactic planning, and will
integrate objectives, contents and assessment, making up units of programming.
Amongst other criteria, the design of activities and tasks has taken into account the
stages to be followed in their development, prior knowledge, integrated treatment of
linguistic components, skills and strategies, proposed final objectives and the
classroom’s potential for adaptation and diversity.
Learning English will not only provide students with competences in order to
communicate, but also with cultural and social knowledge of the culture whose
language they are studying, which will help them develop a personality which is open
and tolerant towards what is different.. In this way one achieves the integral
prepararation of the individual
As we have noted, one of the characteristics of the key competences is that they allow
for and encourage transversality in the learning with which they are associated, in
other words, that which can and should be achieved, though from a different but
complementary perspective, via the development of the curriculum of the various areas
of the same educational stage. In this grade, these areas are Conocimiento del Medio,
Art, P:E., Spanish Language, Foreign Language, Mathematics, Music and, optionally,
Religion.
For the overall work required of teachers in this grade, we indicate in the table below
the key competences which, as a minimum, should also be attained in other areas, in
some with more interrelation and in others with less:

As can be seen, the transversality of the key competences is evident, so within the
framework of the centre’s educational standard criteria should be formulated for their
collective treatment.
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press19
4. ATTENTION TO DIVERSITY
One of the elements upon which the LOE places most emphasis is attention to
diversity. It is clear that the same educational method employed with a single group of
students has differing results depending on each pupil’s knowledge and previous
experience, their intellectual capacity and their interests and motivation with regard to
teaching.
This si why, on many occasions, we have to modify. or adapt contents or methodology
in order that all pupils may attain the objectives established. Similarly, we should offer
extension activities for more able or receptive students. attention to diversity should
always be practised in both directions. Therefore, these differences should always be
catered for, by presenting the same activities in different ways by means of the
activities included in the students’ book and the workbook.. Teachers need to evaluate
towards whom they should direct one type of activity or the other, and need to be
constantly aware of these differences, not only when assessing, but also when
teaching and planning the process of teaching-learning.
Family and Friends includes reinforcement and extension activities which allow for
individualised attention to pupils, depending on their needs and learning rhythm. Every
lesson in our project includes ideas to help teachers respond to the different situations
which arise in the classroom
The Teacher’s Book suggests reinforcement and consolidation activities for students
as well as notes for the teacher, teaching advice, better to deal with different types of
student.
In one of the components of the Teacher’s Resource Pack, , the Photocopy Masters
Book, the teacher will find photocopiable consolidation and extension pages for each
unit. .

Criteria and procedures adopted for the development of special curricular adaptation for students with special educational needs
(The department can descfribe and detail these criteria and procedures here if
necessary. If this is not the case then this section can be omitted)
Adaptations will focus on:
1- The time and rhythm of learning
2- A more personalised methodology
3- A reinforcement of study skills
4- The improvement of procedures, habits and attitudes
5- Ways of increasing amount of counselling
a) For the more gifted students, extension materials will be provided
b) For pupils with serious learning problems, as sufficient progress in the
conceptual contents of the course is more difficult to attain, procedures and attitudes
will be the priority, with social integration being the overall aim. Core instrumental skills
need to be the key content of the adapted curriculum. Modifications to the curriculum
may be quite significant (they will probably entail the elimination of contents, objectives
and consequently of the assessment criteria which might otherwise be considered
essential).
When such adaptations are not enough, the alternative is to have the pupil study part
of the core curriculum in special groups, with different contents and educational
activities. This learning can take place in the mainstream classroom with special
support, or in a separate physical space. This pupil will have the general objectives of
this stage of primary education as a reference, but will work towards those aims
through different contents and activities.

5. CURRICULUM
5.1. OBJECTIVES
General objectives of the stage
The demands and needs of 21st-century society have brought changes to the school
environment, preparing pupils to live in an ever more international, multicultural,
multilingual and technologically more advanced world. As a member of the European
Union, our country is committed to the promotion of the knowledge of other community
languages as is reflected in one of the objectives of the Lisbon Strategy. Meanwhile,
the Council of Europe in the European Common Reference Framework for the
learning of foreign languages establishes directives for both the learning of languages
as well as for the assessment of competence in different languages. These guidelines
have been a key reference in the elaboration of the curriculum.
The Royal Decree of Minimum Education states that Primary Education will help de-
velop in children the skills that will enable them to:
a). Know and appreciate the values and norms of coexistence and prepare for active
citizenship and respect for the human rights and pluralism inherent in a democratic so-
ciety.
b). Develop habits of individual and team work, effort and responsibility as well as atti-
tudes of self-confidence, critical sense, personal initiative, curiosity, creativity and in-
terest in learning
c) Acquire skills for the prevention and peaceful resolution of conflict, enabling them to
function independently in the family and household, as well as in the social groups with
which they will relate.
d) Know, understand and respect different cultures and differences between people,
equal rights and opportunities for men and women and the non-discrimination of dis-
abled people.
e) Know and make appropriate use of the Spanish language and, in its case, the co-of-
ficial language of the Autonomous Community and develop reading habits
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press22
f) Acquire, in at least one foreign language, skills to enable them to express and understand simple messages and function in everyday situations.
g) Develop basic Maths skills and initiative in solving problems that require elementary operations of calculation, geometry and estimates, as well as in being able to apply them to situations in everyday life.
h) Get to know and appreciate their natural environment both social and cul-tural, as well as the possibilities for action and care of it.
i) Get started in the use of information and communication technology to de-velop a critical mind to the messages they receive and produce.
j) Use representation and artistic expression and start to build visual propos-als.
k) Value the importance of hygiene and the acceptance of one’s own body as well as that of others, respecting differences and using physical educa-tion and sport to encourage both personal and social development.
l) Know and appreciate those animals closest to us and adopt forms of beha-viour that contribute to their preservation and care.
m) Develop emotional skills in all areas of personality in their relations with others and an attitude opposed to violence, prejudice and gender stereo-type.
n) Promote road safety education and respectful attitudes for the prevention of traffic accidents.
Objectives of the area of foreign language
The area of foreign language is designed to train students to understand, speak and
talk, read and write. Most of the learning opportunities are in the school environment.
This circumstance demands the inclusion of diverse contents removed from the
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press23
academic world such as those of social relations, mass media and the literary world
(properly adapted)
The axis of the area of foreign language, in the curriculum and in our project, is the
achievement of an effective oral and written communicative competence in meaningful
social contexts which will enable students to express themselves more and more
efficiently and correctly encompassing all possible uses and registers as well as the
use of communication strategies both verbal and non verbal.
The Royal Decree of Minimum Education establishes that the objective of the teaching
of a foreign language during this stage will be the development of the following abilit-
ies:
1. Listening to and understanding verbal messages in various kinds of interac-
tions, using the information provided for the execution of diverse specific tasks
related to students’ experience.
2. Expressing themselves orally and interacting in simple and routine within a
given content and development, using procedures and verbal and non verbal
language and adopting a rspectful and co-operative attitude.
3. Producing short simple texts with various purposes on topics covered in class
with the aid of patterns.
4. Reading and understanding various texts, related to their experience and hob-
bies, texts to extract general and specific information in accordance with a spe-
cific purpose.
5. Learning to use with increasing autonomy all the means at their disposal, in-
cluding new technology, to obtain information and to communicate in the foreign
language.
6. Valuing the foreign language, and languages in general, as a means of commu-
nication and understanding between people of diverse origins and cultures and
as a tool for learning different contents.
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press24
7. Expressing a receptive and confident attitude vis-à-vis their own ability to learn
and use the foreign language.
8. Using knowledge and prior experience of other languages for a faster, more ef-
ficient and independent acquisition of the target language.
9. Identifying the phonetic aspects of rhythm, intonation and pronunciation, as well
as linguistic structures and lexical aspects of the target language, using them
as basic elements of communication.
Objectives of the area of foreign language and its integration within our profectThe aim of the area of foreign language is to prepare people who can use it to
understand, speak, converse, read and write, so its use should be the starting point
from the moment teaching begins. The introduction of English in the first year of
Primary Education is an experience which is currently being adopted in numerous
schools, and stems from the premise that learning a second language at an early age
contributes to the development of basic abilities. Primary education begins with a very
elementary competente in the target language, so, throughout this stage, the
knowledge, ability and experience in the languages the children know will be extremely
important in order to understand and construct meanings, structures and strategies
when participating in acts of communication.
The elaboration of our project, which affects the organisation and contents of the
programme, is closely linked to the psychopedagogic principles which serve as a
foundation for the curricular designof Primary Education. It is our aim that our pupils
acquire communicative competence in English via games and motivating activities,
which at the same time promote effective learning. Whilst engaged in these activities
they use the language to obtain information, express their own opinions and relate with
others in a natural way. It is a question of reinforcing the students’ ability to perceive
the knowledge of a foreign language not just as one more subject, but as the reflection
of an outside world of which we all form a part. The objective, insofar as is possible, is
to globalise experiences whilst not forgetting the specific stage of learning in which
students find themselves.
: Methodological bases that inspire our work are as follows
The starting point in the students’ learning is their previous knowledge; focusing
on this may seem close and familiar to the students but with an aspect of fantasy to
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press25
strike a balance between safety/well-being and interest/imagination. The student can
transfer learned concepts and strategies to build meaning and attribute meaning to
what he/she learns (Starting with what he knows and making hypotheses to make rules
to help interiorize the new system) thus, enhancing their personal growth, development
and socialization.
Communicative situations that include humour and play capture the motivation of students and facilitate learning; It is therefore important to take into account the
importance of songs and stories, the features of the characters, illustrations and even
sound effects
Children learn in different ways and at different speeds; for this reason our project
is devised to be used with flexibility so that all group members can take part and find
activities to which they can apply know-how and aptitude, facilitating the development
of one's own daily awareness of achievement and progress. Our project provides extra
support for those who need it, taking into account those cases in which progress does
not respond to expectancy as well as those who may excel in their goal achievement
and, due to lack in programmed activities, lose interest and become unmotivated. To
remedy these situations the programme includes extension activities for the more
advanced and reinforcement for those who may get bogged down at any time. These
activities are in the Activity Book (at the end of the book: ’Extra Writing’ for each unit),
in the photocopiable materials and the Resources Pack and notes in the Teacher’s
Book.
Children’s learning is more intense and effective when they are active; they need
to exercise their action skills. Each of the units in our project provides a wide range of
activities and teaching resources for participation. The student is the keystone in the
learning/teaching process but his/her constructive attitude depends on the teacher’s
intervention. This intervention must be both active and reflective and adapt to the
student’s level using input to help the student interaction and feedback to contextualise
activities and render meaningful answers with a view to promoting communication
strategies, consolidating those already acquired and the admission of errors.
Consider both progress and the error as something natural in the learning process. Errors occur as a result of the underlying dynamism in comprehension and
progressive mastering of the new language. We understand that errors occur when the
child tries to anticipate the functioning of the language or when he transfers rules from
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press26
his mother tongue in a natural process of acquisition. It is important to note the
difference between error and mistake. Errors are believed to be systematic failings due
to lack of knowledge. These errors will be dealt with when finishing oral interactions, in
groups, taking into account that they take time to correct. A mistake is an occasional
failure due to lack of attention which may even befall native speakers. Mistakes are not
worthwhile correcting since they are not relevant to the teaching/learning process.
The evaluation of individual and collective progress is an important factor in ensuring quality; We have provided an English language portfolio with photocopiable
Self Evaluation sheets (Teacher’s Book) which will enable teachers to monitor their
students’ progress. It is devised so that it can be adapted by teachers to their own
specific needs
Globalised learning will generate an apprehension of reality as a whole. Our
project takes this into account offering activities related with other areas in the
curriculum beginning with learning about the child, then moving on to the world around
him; house, school, environment and society in general. In each unit, this development
is reflected in those topics related to other areas in the curriculum; Environmental
Education, Artistic Education, Mathematics, Physical Education, etc.
5.2. CONTRIBUTION OF THIS AREA TO THE ACQUISITION OF KEY COMPETENCES
The Royal Decree 1513/2006 of minimum education indicates how this area
contributes to the process of acquiring the key competences, so we make specific
reference to the legislation in question.
Learning a foreign language contributes directly to the acquisition of Linguistic
Competence, completing, enriching and adding new aspects of comprehension and
expression to the general communicative competence of the student. A communicative
approach to language learning contributes to this competence in the same way as
learning of the mother tongue.
Language is the principal vehicle for human thought, the most powerful tool for the in-
terpretation and representation of reality the the instrument of learning par excellence,
so the area, contributes towards both general communicative ability and to the compet-
ence of learning-to-learn. However, its main contribution ítems from the Fac. that the
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press27
learning of a foreign language is far more effective if it includes contents directly related
to reflection upon learning itself, in order that each child may identify how to learn bet-
ter and whichare the most effective strategies.. Hence the introduction in the curriculum
of a specific section reflecting upon learning itself. In addition, the decisions prompting
this reflection favour autonomy, and in this sense, it might be said that the foreign lan-
guage helps in the development of autonomy and personal initiative.
All the above-mentioned competences are currently directly related to Data processing
and digital competence. ITC offers the possibility of communicating in real time with
any part of the world and also offers easy access to an incessant flow of information
which is growing every day. Knowledge of a foreign language offers the possibility of
communicating by using it. And, most important of all, the context of this communica-
tion is authentic and functional.
This area contributes significantly towards the development of social and civic com-
petence. Languages enable people to comunícate socially, but are also a vehicle of
cultural communication and transmission. Learning a foreign language involves the
knowledge of cultural traits and facts associated with different communities of speak-
ers of the language. This learning, well directed from school, should develop into both
the ability and desire to discover other cultures and relate to other people, speakers or
students of the language. Meanwhile, knowledge of another language and of cultural
traits different to one’s own help towards increased understanding and appreciation of
one’s own language and culture and promotes respect, acknowledgement and accept-
ance of different cultures and behaviour, encourages tolerance and integration and
helps one to understand and appreciate both similarities and differences between
people.
Finally, though to a lesser degree, this area assists the development of the artistic and
cultural competence if the linguistic models used contain, the limitations of this stage
notwithstanding, linguistic productions with a cultural component.
5.3. CONTENTS
The contents have been grouped in blocks to sort the elements of analysis of a
complex reality, in relation to four key competences with specific characteristics and
needs in terms of the teaching and learning process: oral language; written language;
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press28
the constituents of the linguistic system, their functioning and relationships, and the
social and cultural dimension of the foreign language.
Although oral and written language are two different manifestations of the same
capacity, each requires different skills and knowledge and is therefore dealt with
separately.
Block 1. Listening, speaking and conversing, acquires, in this stage,
particular relevance. The limited presence of foreign languages in the social
context means that the language model provided by the school is the first
source of knowledge and learning of the language,. This model should reflect
the variety of speech, habitual expressions, phonetic and prosodic nuances
typical of different real communicative situations, and will be reinforced by the
use of conventional audiovisual media and information technology. Discourse
employed in the classroom is at the same time both vehicle for and object of
learning, so the curriculum focuses on both the knowledge of linguistic
elements and and the ability to use them to perform communicative tasks..
Block 2. Reading and writing, in coherence with the previous block, aims at
knowledge of written language. The progressive use of wriiten language will
depend on the degree of knowledge of written forms and increasing security in
the graphic representation of the sounds of the language, usually different from
the students’ own. To overcome lack of security, the curriculum and our project
include strategies and resources such as the use of dictionaries and other
consulting facilities, conventional and digital, for the understanding and
composition of all kinds of texts.
Block 3. Knowledge of the language, iincludes both linguistic knowledge and
contents of reflection upon learning. The starting point will be practical
situations which encourage the acquisition of rules regarding the workings of
the language, in order that students may establish which elements of the
foreign language function in a similar way to their own tongue, gaining
confidence in their ability to use the second language..
Block 4. Socio-cultural features and intercultural awareness. The contents
of this block help the students learn customs, forms of social relationships, and
specific features of countries that speak the target language; in other words,
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press29
lifestyles different from their own. This knowledge will promote respect and
interest in the knowledge of different social and cultural realities
Block 1. Listening, speaking and conversingThe language model provided by the school is the first source of knowledge and
learning of language. Classroom discourse is both a vehicle and an object of learning.
Therefore both the curriculum and our project have provided for the learning elements
as well as the capacity to use them in communicative tasks.
On the other hand, the language model must come from a large enough number of
speakers to reflect changes and nuances both in phonetic and prosodic aspects as in
the election of idiomatic expressions in well-defined communicative situations. Hence
the use of conventional media and ITC is present both in the curriculum and in our
project.
The contents of this block for the first cycle in the area of foreign language according to
the Royal Decree of Minimum Education are as follows::
Comprehension of simple oral messages for classroom tasks.
Understanding of simple messages from different audiovisual and IT sources.
Oral interaction in real or fake situations through verbal and non-verbal re-
sponses in communicating routines.
Production of previously studied oral texts through active participation in shared
performances, songs, recitations and dramatization.
Development of basic strategies to support comprehension and oral expression;
transfer of visual and non-verbal context and of previous knowledge of the sub-
ject or situation from the languages the student is already familiar with.
Appreciation of the target language as an instrument of communication.
Block 2. Reading and writingThe aim is competence in discursive writing. Foreign-language texts are also textual
composition patterns and practice for the acquisition of linguistic elements.. The
progressive use of written language will depend on the degree of knowledge of the
code, which is directly related to the degree of security that the code provides in the
graphic representation of the sounds of the language. To overcome lack of security, the
curriculum and our project include strategies and resources such as the use of
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press30
dictionaries and other consulting facilities, conventional and digital, for the
understanding and composition of all kinds of texts.
The contents of this block for the first cycle in the area of foreign language according to
the Royal Decree of Minimum Education are as follows::
Reading of previously studied simple words and sentences through active parti-
cipation in real or fake situations.
Initiation in reading strategies; transfer of visual and non-verbal context and of
previous knowledge of the subject or situation from the languages the student is
already familiar with.
Writing of previously studied words and sentences through active participation
in oral interactions to be used in sharing or transmitting information or in play
activities.
Initiation in the use of educational computer programmes to read and write
simple messages.
Interest in the careful presentation of written texts.
Block 3. Knowledge of the languageContact with the foreign language and its use enables those who are learning it work
out a basic conceptual system on its functioning. The starting point will be situations
that encourage the inference of language rules so as to gain confidence in their own
abilities.
This content block is divided into knowledge and reflection on learning.
The contents of this block for the first cycle in the area of foreign language according to
the Royal Decree of Minimum Education are as follows::
Linguistic knowledge:
o Introduction to phonetic aspects, rhythm and stress of the foreign lan-
guage and use for comprehension and oral production.
o Identification and use of previously used vocabulary and basic struc-
tures of the target language.
o Global association in spelling, pronunciation and meaning from written
forms representing well-known oral expressions.
o Familiarisation with the use of basic strategies in text production from
different patterns; selection of target, purpose and content.
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press31
o Interest in using the target language in different situations
Reflection upon learning.
o Use of skills and procedures such as repetition, memorization, word as-
sociation, words and expressions containing gestural and visual ele-
ments, pattern observation etc. for the acquisition of vocabulary, form
and structure.
o Progressive use of graphic means for information and consultation re-
garding new possibilities opened up by new technology.
o Confidence in student’s own ability to learn a foreign language and en-
joyment of teamwork.
Block 4. Socio-cultural features and intercultural awareness
This block helps the students learn customs, forms of social relationships, and specific
features of countries that speak the target language, in other words, lifestyles different
from their own. This knowledge will promote tolerance and acceptance, increase
interest in the knowledge of different social and cultural realities and facilitate
intercultural communication
The contents of this block for the first cycle in the area of foreign language according to
the Royal Decree of Minimum Education are as follows:
Acknowledgement and learning of basic forms of social relations in the target
language.
Positive attitude towards people who speak another language and have a differ-
ent culture to the student’s own.
5.4. ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
The Royal Decree of Minimun Education establishes the following assessment criteria
for the first cycle of primary education in the area of foreign language:
1. Participate in controlled oral interactions on familiar topics in easily predictable
communicative situations.
This is a means of assessing the ability to respond in a simple way to requests
and instructions, or to give information. The interactions will involve familiar
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press32
topics, previously studied or related to immediate communicative needs, such
as greetings or farewells , introductions, talking about likes, within
communicative situations recognised as routine, habits, classroom language,
dramatisations, recitations or songs. The capacity to participate actively in
classroom activities will also be valued positively.
2. Grasp the overall meaning and identify some specific elements in oral texts,
using linguistic and non-linguistic context elements
This criterion evaluates whether or not students are able gradually to grasp the
overall meaning of an oral message, in situations of face-to-face communica-
tion, using gestures and mime and the necessary repetition, and to recognise
and understand key words and basic expressions, related to classroom activit-
ies or the school context.
3. Read and identify simple words and phrases previously introduced in oral form
concerning family and hobbies.
This criterion evaluates the ability to read, aloud too, words and phrases first
encountered in oral form via all kinds of activities. Reading will be supported by
visual and verbal elements related to the context in which these expressions ap-
pear and will form a part of games and communicative activities
4. Write words, familiar expressions and phrases employing models and with a
specific purpose.
This criterion evaluates the ability to write words and simple sentences re-
peatedly and frequently used in oral fashion in diverse activities.
Writing should begin with the observation of a model and form part of the exe-
cution of a specific task such as writing a note, making a poster, composing a
birthday card or completing a song or poem.
5. Recognise and reproduce the sound, rhythm, stress and intonation of expres-
sions which appear in everyday communicative contexts.
This criterion seeks to evaluate whether or not students recognise and are cap-
able of reproducing sounds, rhythm, stress and intonation when actively parti-
cipating by listening to, repeating and anticipating expressions and when read-
ing aloud, always employing models.
Explorers 2– Oxford University Press33
6. Use basic strategies for learning-to-learn, such as asking for help, communica-
tion with accompanying gestures, using visual dictionaries and identifying per-
sonal features which will help them to learn better.
This criterion aims to evaluate the use of basic strategies which enhance the
learning process, such as the use of visual resources and gestures, asking for
help and clarification, the use of visual dictionaries and assessment, albeit ele-
mentary, of their own progress.
7. Show interest and curiosity regarding learning a foreign language and recog-
nise linguistic diversity as as an enriching characteristic.
This criterion assesses participation, effort and interest in learning the target
language.
It also evaluates awareness of the importance of knowing languages in order
to communícate with people from different countries and the appreciation of lin-
guistic diversity as an enriching quality for one and all..
The section Programme of Units of this document lists the criteria and means of
assessment specific to each teaching unit.
6. PROGRAMME OF UNITS
This programming and scheduling constitutes a model of timed learning for 2nd year of Primary Education based upon a 63-hour year and taking into account the specific
objectives of English as a subject.
This is a timetable which is adaptable to the group/class profile as it may be used
simultaneously with pupils with language-learning difficulties, as well as those of a
slightly more advanced level. Furthermore, it may be adapted to the teacher and pupils’
own tastes and aims and to the evolution of the academic year.
This is a guiding and extendable programme, with countless optional possibilities
suggested in the Teacher’s Guide and the Teacher’s Resource CD-ROM. Teachers
may introduce these activities whenever they see fit, according to the needs and
attitude of pupils, bearing in mind learning rhythm – individual and collective – and
available teaching hours.
