Introduction

IntroductionThe main goal of English course in high school is the students management of the four communicative language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing.

This book has been designed to help students grow in their English knowledge and its proper use for personal and public reasons. Based on previously learned skills, learners are moved to develop their social linguistic communicative competence learning more about basic grammar, and expanding their vocabulary in social communication.

In the exercises students are asked to participate actively whether individually or in groups. Interaction is emphasized as both, the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language.

They talk about every day topics in English, and short talks in family situations using basic conversational strategies on dialogues.

The dgb Syllabus marks the following topics for this level:

Block I. Personal information about myself and other people.

Block II. Describing routines.

Block III. Talking about what it is happening.

Block IV. Doing a supermarket list.

At the end of every block, students have a Self Test which could be used as acumulative work. Beside there is a personal evaluation about accomplishments and attitudes for individual improvement.

The author wants this book be an actual help for teachers and students, and she is looking forward your comments and advices for further works. Please contact me at: [email protected]

Por eso, en el inicio de este curso nos dedicaremos a practicar la manera de hacer la presentacin de uno mismo y de otras personas, utili-zando diversas formas de acuerdo con una determinada situacin y considerando a los participantes en la comunicacin.

Este bloque es en realidad un repaso de algunos de los conocimientos adquiridos en la escuela secundaria, aplicados a contextos de la vida diaria y con suficientes activi-dades que te proporcionan la oportunidad de recordarlos, afirmarlos o, en caso nec-esario, aprenderlos en su uso normal.

Recuerda que es indispensable el trabajo tanto en equipo como en pares, ya que la nica forma de aprender un idioma es utilizndolo en un verdadero intercambio de comunicacin.

El libro est compuesto por cuatro bloques. Al final de cada bloque, adems de la acos-tumbrada autoevaluacin de conocimientos, encontrars otra prueba que te permitir valorar tu desempeo durante el desarrollo de las clases. Contesta con honestidad y ten en cuenta tus resultados para considerar las medidas oportunas y as lograr un buen aprovechamiento.
