El Currculum para el Ciclo Bsico del Nivel Medio se ha estructurado en siete reas, que estn articuladas con las del Nivel Primario. La siguiente tabla muestra la organizacin de reas y subreas de primer grado del Ciclo Bsico.

Subreas

Todas las reas curriculares han sido actualizadas en trminos del nuevo paradigma curricular, avances cientficos, tecnolgicos y humansticos, y demandas sociales. Las reas de Matemticas y Ciencias Naturales han sido fortalecidas para que el estudiantado obtenga una formacin matemtica y cientfica ms slida que contribuya a su formacin bsica.

ODEC rea de Comunicacin y Lenguaje L3 Ingls

Atendiendo a la diversidad lingstica y sociolingstica del pas y a la necesidad de fortalecer la comunicacin entre los diferentes Pueblos y con el mundo, el rea de Comunicacin y Lenguaje contempla L1 Idioma Materno, L2 o Segundo Idioma y L3 o Idioma Extranjero. Para el estudiantado maya, L1 puede ser Idioma Maya, o Espaol, si en su comunidad se hubiera dado una situacin de desplazamiento lingstico, como se ha observado en algunos casos en el rea kaqchikel. En el caso de estudiantado ladino que vive en reas indgenas, L1 corresponde a Idioma Espaol y L2 puede ser el Idioma Maya de la comunidad lingstica donde reside. Para los y las estudiantes garfunas, la situacin es similar a la de los y las mayas. Para el alumnado xinka, L1 es Idioma Espaol y L2 puede ser Xinka con una metodologa de recuperacin del idioma. Para 2008 se ha previsto el diseo de L1 Garfuna, L2 Idioma Espaol, L2 Idiomas Mayas y L2 Xinka con metodologa de recuperacin. El idioma extranjero que ms demanda ha tenido para su incorporacin en el Currculum Nacional Base es el ingls. Su diseo curricular no debe confundirse con ingls como segundo idioma, ya que en ambos casos se persiguen competencias comunicativas distintas. En el futuro podrn disearse las mallas curriculares para otros idiomas extranjeros. Tecnologa de Informacin y Comunicacin es una subrea de Comunicacin y Lenguaje. Sin embargo, se concibe como una subrea que tambin constituye una herramienta de apoyo para el aprendizaje de otras reas curriculares. Ciencias Sociales y Formacin Ciudadana constituye una sola rea curricular. Dada la incorporacin de la Formacin Ciudadana en diferentes niveles del sistema educativo. El Ministerio de Educacin ha diseado manuales de apoyo para trabajarla con la comunidad educativa. Los manuales se encuentran citados en la bibliografa especfica. El rea de Expresin Artstica incluye Formacin Musical, Artes Plsticas, Danza y Expresin Corporal y Teatro. La recomendacin tcnica es que el estudiantado, durante los tres aos del Ciclo Bsico, pueda familiarizarse con las cuatro. Sin embargo, su implementacin en cada establecimiento educativo depender de condiciones y factores tales como: (a) disponibilidad de catedrticos o catedrticas especializadas; (b) disponibilidad de instrumentos, laboratorios o equipos especializados requeridos para impartir la subrea; (c) organizacin del tiempo en el horario y jornada diaria y semanal de trabajo; (d) disponibilidad de materiales educativos ad-hoc para las funciones de enseanza y de aprendizaje; y (e) otros criterios y decisiones derivados de las condiciones de trabajo del centro. El rea de Productividad y Desarrollo comprende componentes relacionados con manejo de informacin, calidad y tecnologa, trabajo en comunidad para el desarrollo sostenible y emprendimiento para el desarrollo. Sus contenidos incluyen contenidos seleccionados de asignaturas de planes de estudio anteriores: Artes Industriales, Educacin para el Hogar y Contabilidad. Su metodologa incorpora proyectos de diferentes tipos. Por tratarse de un rea nueva en el Ciclo Bsico, se impulsarn varias estrategias para su implementacin tales como formacin en servicio para docentes con formacin inicial en Artes Industriales,
Nivel Medio Ciclo Bsico: Primer Grado

Educacin para el Hogar y Contabilidad, trabajo en equipo de docentes con diferentes especialidades, articulacin con las Universidades para la creacin de Profesorados para sta rea. El rea de Educacin Fsica ha sido diseada para trabajar dos componentes: condicionamiento fsico/aptitud fsica y coordinacin de la habilidad tcnico -deportiva. La Direccin General de Educacin Fsica (DIGEF) tiene a su cargo la formacin en servicio de los y las docentes de esta rea. Uno de los factores que contribuye a la calidad educativa es el tiempo efectivo de aprendizaje. En la siguiente tabla , se presenta una distribucin ilustrativa de carga horaria semanal por rea. En la primera columna, est el nombre de cada una de las siete reas; en la segunda columna, el nmero de periodos semanales por rea distribuidos entre las siete reas y subrea.

Name of activity: how to use Total Physical Response (TPR)

There are seven steps for the TPR instructional process: 1. Introduction: The teacher introduces a situation in which students follow a set of commands using actions. Usually props such as pictures or real objects accompany the actions. Some actions may be real while others are pretend.

2 periods of class

2. Demonstration: The teacher demonstrates or asks a student to demonstrate this series of actions. The other students are expected to pay careful attention. At first, students are not expected to talk or repeat the commands. But soon they will want to join in because the commands are easy to follow and the language is clear and comprehensible. For example, the teacher gives a command such as Take out a piece of bread and the students say the sentence and do

10

ODEC rea de Comunicacin y Lenguaje L3 Ingls

the action. Now, spread peanut butter on it, and so on until a make-believe sandwich is made and eaten.

3. Group action Next, the class acts out the series while the teacher gives the commands. Usually, this step is repeated several times so that students internalize the series thoroughly before they will be asked to produce it. 4. Written copy Write the series on the chalkboard or chart paper so that students can make connections between oral and written words while they read and copy (or even substitute ingredients of their choice). 5. Oral repetitions and questions: After students have made a written copy, they repeat each line after the teacher, taking care with difficult words. They ask questions for clarification, and the teacher points out grammatical features such as Yesterday we ate half a sandwich. Today we will eat a whole sandwich. Did you notice the difference between ate and eat? Yesterday we spread grape jelly, today we will spread orange jelly. Did you notice that the verb spread didnt change? Lets say the words soap and soup. Lets say the words cheap and sheep. 6. Student demonstration Students can also take turns playing the roles of the reader of the series and the performer of the actions. Meanwhile, the teacher can check on individual students for comprehension and oral production. 7. Partner activities Finally, students work in pairs or teams of four to tell or read the series. In teams of four, two students give commands and two respond physically. Meanwhile, the teacher monitors each team and suggests ways to elaborate on the vocabulary by adding new words.

Name of the activity: Reading

Like listening, reading is a receptive skill. It would normally occur after listening and speaking in the sequence of learning a language. Reading helps to reinforce and fix in the memory what has already been heard and practiced orally. There are many strategies to practice reading, here are some of them: Set up the situation Before presenting a conversation or text for the first time, it should be placed in some kind of setting, rather than just presented cold. Illustrations are usually used as a pre-reading strategy and help to engage students in thought and discussion about ideas concepts, expressions and vocabulary that they will encounter in the text. Retelling Technique Retelling is a technique where a student makes a mental representation of the text and uses this to orally retell the text in his/her own words. When the retelling is complete, the teacher can ask direct questions about important information omitted Application/pair work Students read in pairs and ask questions to each other Sample of lesson presenting a reading: a) Introduce the following expressions and vocabulary. b) Practice pronunciation c) Demonstrate some actions with the students.
Expressions Thats right Listen to me thats great fantastic be careful turn off turn on Come back open the door close the window go out take your jacket off put your shoes on Vocabulary Go walk right soldier help find left stop save fast vacuum cleaner

d) Tell the students to work with a partner. Your partner is a robot. Give her/him instructions.
