1 METHODOLOGY

1.1 Philosophy

Kid’s Box introduces pupils to the pleasures of learning English and enables them to consistently improve their level throughout the six books in the series: Kid’s Box 1 to 6.

Kid’s Box has been designed specifically for schools in Spain, taking the Spanish syllabus into account, and so that the linguistic skills taught are appropriate for the pupils' age groups and their cognitive development.

The course has been written taking into account the proposals included in the Common European Framework. The CEF objectives coincide with those of the Cambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Cambridge English: Young Learners Tests:

Cambridge English: Starters (below Level A1)Cambridge English: Movers (at Level A1)Cambridge English: Flyers (at around Level A2 of the CEF)

The contents of Kid’s Box are those of the Cambridge English exams: Young Learners so that each cycle of two levels is that of one of the exams. This means that the material taught in the first cycle is that required to take the Starters exam, is second cycle is that for Movers and the third is the material for Flyers. All levels include examples of the type of activities used in the exams.

At the end of each unit in the Activity Book there is a page for practising one of the parts of the Cambridge English exams: Young Learners. These pages have been designed to reproduce the format of the real exams, but have also been carefully graded to use language which the pupils already know.

All six levels develop pupils’ abilities in the four skills, listening, speaking, reading and writing, as well as challenging them cognitively and helping them to feel a real sense of achievement in learning. This is very important since meaningful learning is one of the main principles in this course.

As Plutarch reminds us, ‘The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited’, and this concept of learning underpins Kid’s Box. As pupils learn the most when they are interested and involved, one of the proposals of Kid’s Box is the continuous use of attractive materials and engaging activities where pupils will feel physically and mentally active and are encouraged to make sense of the language themselves.

The first six lessons present new language structures, including a chant, a song, an illustrated story (a picture story) with matching activities. Odd number units have two additional lessons for introducing and developing cross-curricular material (CCM) and developing and encouraging inter cultural consciousness and values. The second volume of Kid’s Box has features specifically prepared for Spanish pupils; there is school italic handwriting throughout the Pupil's Book, Activity Book, My Home Booklet, Language Portfolio, posters and word cards for levels 1 and 2. The course also take the specific needs of centres with bilingual projects into account, for example by making greater use of grammar contents and practising them more.


1.2 What does Kid’s Box offer?

The materials for Kid’s Box have been prepared with the aim of awakening pupils' interest and enthusiasm using the following strategies:

humour around the characters and in the comics. One of the main principles when creating Kid’s Box was to make the most stimulating course possible for the youngest pupils. Motivation is crucial for primary school children in order to make language retention effective. We have tried to introduce a little humour in the presentations and, particularly, in the comics at the end of each unit. These comics are designed for revising what the pupils have studied and to encourage them to study more due to their interest in following the characters' adventures. They are also a motivating factor and a reward at the end of each unit.

Creativity and learning through action and activity. Drawing, colouring, ‘make and do’, songs, games and chants are all activities which might initially appear to have suspiciously little teaching value with regards to language acquisition. However, these activity types form an integral part of the learning process by enabling pupils to be creative and to help them anchor knowledge more effectively.

Connecting the world outside to the classroom so that pupils learn about the world around them as they learn English. This helps them understand that English is more than a classroom subject and lets them realise ways in which English can be used as a tool for knowledge.

Discovery and development of learner autonomy. So pupils are able to learn effectively, and continue their own process of learning. Children are encouraged to find things for themselves. Kid’s Box includes activities for self-correction, vocabulary lists for revision and other activities to developing pupils' autonomy. The series encourages this approach in order to enable pupils to carry out investigative tasks on their own behalf outside the classroom.

Positive values such as respect and tolerance are also encouraged. Helping pupils to appreciate cultural diversity, respect differences and develop human values. Respect for and protection of the natural environment goes hand in hand with the respecting of other human beings. This theme runs throughout the whole of Kid's Box.

The teacher becomes a guide and facilitator for learning during work in pairs, groups and role plays. Communication activities such as these give the pupils the chance to work independently from the teacher. In these types of activities the teacher’s role is as a guide and facilitator. We should stand back a little from the activity and monitor and assist when necessary.

Practical tasks such as songs, games, chants, activities in pairs, etc, interacting with pupils' surroundings. To make language learning a satisfying experience, pupils need activities which are contextualised and relevant to their surroundings. Kid’s Box offers numerous opportunities to practice the language actively.

It is only through the use of repetitive practice that skills, reflection and comprehension can be developed. At the end of the day, nobody learns to swim outside the water…

In fact, there is a double page in each unit for Foreign Language Contents Integrated Learning (FLCIL). These lessons aim to place language learning in context and also, at the


same time, help the learning of other subjects. They are perfect complements for other areas of the curriculum which the pupils are studying, which provides the opportunity for them to consolidate their general learning. This increases pupils' motivation thanks to the interesting subjects which help them to learn. The careful grading of language means that lessons with foreign language contents are easy to carry out and efficient and fun. Pupils' different levels of skills are also taken into account in order to guarantee the participation of absolutely all of them.

One of the reasons integrated learning offers such good results is that English is increasingly not just another subject: it is also becoming the language in which Natural Sciences and Social Sciences are taught. This change means that pupils are exposed to the new language and can start to use it in a natural way at the same time as they acquire non-linguistic knowledge.

In line with the teaching method as a whole, the FLCIL lessons take into account the need for different styles of learning: logical and mathematical, visual and spatial, musical, interpersonal and movement intelligence, as well as linguistic intelligence, which is developed by teaching English as a language.

1.3 Course components

Each of the six levels of Kid’s Box includes a Pupil's Book (with My Home Booklet) and an Activity Book (with stickers, CD-ROM & Language Portfolio) for pupils, and, for teachers: Class Audio CDs, Teacher's Book, Teacher's Resources Book with Audio CD, posters and Digital Box for digital boards. Levels 1 to 4 also have flashcards and word cards. Teachers have a Tests CD-ROM (with Audio CD) every two levels.

The Pupil's Book has 112 full colour pages and is divided into 12 units. There is a revision section every four units called 'Review' which had attractive, stimulating materials for revising vocabulary and grammatical structures learned in the previous units. At the end of each odd numbered unit there are cross-curricular contents and a page for working with values. At the end of the Pupil's Book there is a pronunciation section call “Say it with me”, festivities and a grammar reference section. At the end of Kid's Box 1 & 2 there are cut-outs of the characters to use with the comics.

The Pupil's Book also comes with My Home Booklet, 32 pages for pupils to revise the contents and skills worked on in class with their parents at home.

The Activity Book is 104 pages designed to offer pupils the chance to further practise new vocabulary and to help them to consolidate comprehension. All the units come with stickers which are used to revision in the visual dictionary section, in which pupils can also trace basic vocabulary words. The Activity Book comes with a CD-ROM designed to enhance the learning experience using dynamic games to practise the main vocabulary and structures in each unit and, at the same time, encourage pupils to reflect about pronunciation and oral comprehension. The Activity Book also has eight pages of practical activities for Cambridge English: Young Learners exams, as well as a grammar reference section. There is also a story with a pictogram for each unit (a version of the unit story in which key vocabulary is replaced by pictures).

Along with the Activity Book, there is a Language Portfolio for pupils which, in line with the Ministry for Research and Education's guidelines, encourages pupils to assess themselves and also gives a record of each pupil's learning experience throughout primary education.


The audio CDs contain all the necessary listening material for the Pupil's Book and the Activity Book, including the songs and picture stories. Songs are available in sung and karaoke versions.

The Teacher's Resources Pack offers a wide range of activities in order to offer varied solutions, as well as back-up and extra material activities for each unit. The gift Audio CD includes YLE exams with extra listening material. Theword cards can be used to consolidate new vocabulary.

The Teacher's Book offers teaching methods for each lesson as well as transcriptions of the recordings of all the listening activities and answers for all the activities, an overall view of the syllabus for each level, extra activities, photocopiable pages and evaluation activities.

The interactive DVD offers animated versions of the comics, songs with animation, documentary videos, crafts, interactive games, a quiz and traditional rhymes.

3 KEY COMPETENCES

3.1 Introduction

In line with the European Parliament and Council's Recommendation 2006/962/EC, 18th December 2006, about Key competences for lifelong learning, Decree 126/2014, 28th February, establishes a basic syllabus for Primary Education based on promoting learning by skills integrated in syllabus items.

These skills are taken to be "know-how" in the context of any academic, social or professional context. Learning using skills encourages learning and motivates learning as overall procedures for learning about each subject are acquired.

Learners should develop Key competences throughout their compulsory education years, from Primary to Secondary. These skills help them realise their potential, become active citizens, successfully participate in adult life and be able to enjoy lifelong learning.

Each area of the curriculum facilitates the acquisition and development of these skills. Consequently, by working the various areas of the curriculum it is possible to achieve these objectives. The pupils are not limited to one specific subject or level. Factors for success include the way schools are organised or run, the style of teaching, how the key players in the educational community interact and what extra-curricular or supplementary activities are available.

LOMCE uses the definitions of Key competences established by the European Union2.

CC - Communication skillsMCST -Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technologyDC - Digital skillsLL - Learning to learnSCC - Social and civic skillsSIE - Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship.CAE - Cultural awareness and expression.

Connections between contents, skills and assessment criteria are described in Order ECD/65/2015.

Kid’s Box takes into account the body of law and directives set out by educational authorities. Its approach is holistic, based on the acquisition of procedural knowledge. Its aim is for pupils to be able to develop through life-long learning.

The rich variety of activities in Kid's Box integrates the teaching of the foreign language with other curricular areas. Moreover, it leads to the global development of the seven Key competences.

3.2 How Kid’s Box helps learners acquire Key competences

2 European Parliament and Council recommendations for key skills for lifelong learning, 18th December 2006 (2006/962/CE)


Learning a foreign language leads to the acquisition of Key competences in the same way other subjects do. This acquisition process takes place with an equal degree of intensity throughout each stage of a pupil’s time in the compulsory education system.

In an effective and systematic way Kid’s Box contributes to the acquisition of each basic skill. It does so within a communicative framework to guarantee that the competencies in the English language are achieved. This communicative focus spans the six levels of Primary education.

The educational aims of Kid’s Box and its choice of content are designed to ensure the development and acquisition of these Key competences.

Communication skills focuses on using the English language as a vehicle for spoken and written communication.Boosting this skills by learning a foreign language means that the pupils improve their ability to express themselves both orally and in writing. The pupils develop this skill by using the register and discourse appropriate to every linguistic situation that arises.

Pupils communicative skills improves as The pupils recognise and gradually master the working rules of the foreign language. To help them, the pupils can tap into their experience with their mother tongue and reflect on the language learning process.

Kid’s Box presents learners with activities that let them acquire and develop all four skills, both speaking and listening, and reading and writing, and always reinforcing the language learning with the grammar rules that underpin the English language.

Mathematical ability refers to their ability to reason. It involves making judgements, making decisions and reaching conclusions through the problem solving process and the coherent application of logic. Also important here is the application of mathematical concepts to daily life.

To acquire this skill, pupils have to know about and use the numerical system and its symbols. The pupils must be familiar with ways of expressing and rationalising in numerical terms, while Communication skills allows them to reason, develop arguments, formulate hypotheses, as well as use deductive and inductive reasoning, etc.

The activities in Kid’s Box are often linked to mathematical processes. Pupils are exposed to reasoning and logic tasks, and even mathematical ones, both orally and in writing. Thus, the course helps develop and boost this ability.

Basic skillse in science and technology are about being able to understand events. It involves making predictions based on what has been heard or read, in relation to eating habits, health, the environment or being responsible consumers in their daily lives.

Kid’s Box provides a large range of both spoken and written texts that have clear and detailed content on these issues, encouraging pupils to understand events and predict their consequences. Learners increase their skills in English and, at the same time, acquire this knowledge.

To acquire digital skills pupils have to be able to read, analyse and transmit the information found in all kinds of texts in English. The pupils must be able to pick out and organise the contents they hear and read. However, this skill is also directly connected with the integration of multimedia resources into the learning process.


With the interactive DVD and the Teacher’s CD-ROM, Kid’s Box helps learners become more competent in using digital technology. Moreover, there are texts in which handling information plays a crucial role, without undermining the other skills.

Learner strategies focus the pupils’ attention on what is required of them in order to learn English. It also refers to the ability to memorise and self-evaluate. Both of these abilities are present in any leaning process in which pupils are asked to form hypotheses about the language using the rich variety of real-life examples presented in the texts.

Kid’s Box challenges the pupils to engage actively in the learning process when dealing with any language content. It presents the linguistic rules subtlety so that learners naturally make their own deductions and hypotheses, drawing on the principles of Universal Grammar inherent in language acquisition.

Furthermore, with the Language Portfolio the course is provokes a continuous cycle of self-evaluation and this, in turn, strengthens the basic skill of Learner strategies. Throughout the learning process, Kid’s Box constantly encourages the pupils to take part in cooperative learning, another pillar of learning to learn, and thus the English language becomes the medium for thinking so that reality is interpreted and represented.

Social and civic skills are about discovering and becoming familiar with the different social and cultural matrices that underlie the English language. At the same time, respect and other values are reinforced through group work.

Kid’s Box presents cultural aspects, always through the medium of English, which deal not only with the society and customs of Britain but also of other areas of the English-speaking world, such as Australia and the United States. It promotes respect and values within a constantly changing society where cultural pluralism stands out among the principles of the twenty-first century. The content of Kid’s Box complements the work done within the educational system to reinforce these values and, therefore, helps the pupils to acquire social and citizenship skills.

Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship means being able to approach the learning process in an autonomous way or, alternatively, to cooperate with others to achieve any task that is proposed.

Kid’s Box encourages pupils to work autonomously, heightening their sense of responsibility and self-awareness while at the same time encouraging creativity and imagination. In addition, given that assessment goes hand in hand with critical sense and that value judgements may be reached on an individual or group basis, the values of respect and understanding - towards themselves and their peers - are also strengthened.

Pupils take part in activities which allow them to reinforce their enterprising spirit and business sense using creativity, autonomy, initiative, team work, self-confidence and critical awareness.

Discovery and self-enrichment are behind cultural awareness and expression. This skill develops the ability to understand and critically evaluate cultural and artistic manifestations. Like social and civic skills, this skill is about strengthening human values.

The methodological focus of Kid’s Box is interactive and not only does communication in English plays a crucial role it is also the vehicle for teaching about other cultures and societies, as well as the values that guide them. This in turn helps teachers carry out their


own broader educational objectives at school. Throughout the course, widely varied cultural and artistic topics are covered through a range of activities.

To further promote social and cultural Key competences, includes activities connected with aspects of the English-speaking world in which culture and art play an important role.

The main objective of Kid’s Box is the acquisition of English and its culture. This language then serves as the medium for making judgements with coherent values about any manifestation of the English language, whether spoken or written. Thanks to the ample range of activities found in Kid’s Box, ensures that all seven Key competences will be acquired.

3.3 The Key competences in Kid’s Box

The basics skills have been developed extensively throughout the twelve main units, as well as in the revision ones. The pupils can be found in the Development of units of teaching section. (See point 5.5).

This document specifies a series of DESCRIPTORS for acquiring and evaluating each of the basic skills, bearing in mind pupils of the age group's cognitive development and skills and in connection with the characteristics of the material in this course.

The activities to be carried out in each unit are specified and this enables evaluation of the DESCRIPTORS.

The competence DESCRIPTORS we have set for this subject in Primary 1 & 2 are:

Communication skills Listen

Use basic comprehension and expression strategies to help carry out tasks.

Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship.

Participate using your own criteria and take part in group activities without forgetting your own interests.

Identify and recognise your own mistakes and try to correct them.

Each unit's programme also includes connections between the unit's CONTENTS, EVALUATION CRITERIA AND COMPETENCES .

In the annex at the end of each document there is an EVALUATION FORM ABOUT COMPETENCES which includes the different DESCRIPTORS set for acquiring the basic skills in each subject and school year.


The teacher can use this form to evaluate the skills and DESCRIPTORS for each unit or whenever appropriate throughout the school year.

3.4 Multiple Intelligences

In 1983 US psychologist Howard Gardner developed the Theory of Multiple Intelligences 3 in which he stated that all humans have eight different types of intelligence which we use throughout life. Each individual develops them to greater or lesser degrees depending on their genetics and external stimuli. During the learning process the teacher must take all of them into account in order to make sure that the pupils can acquire knowledge using their own, personal skills.

The resources used in Kid’s Box allow pupils to develop their abilities in communication in a natural way, since the seven Key competences to work the mind in a holistic way are worked throughout all of the units. From these seven skills, the different multiple intelligences are dealt with. The activities in Kid’s Box are designed to stimulate all of the different intelligences in such a way that there will always be something to appeal to every learner.

Linguistic intelligence, sensitivity to the written and spoken word and the ability to learn languages, is a core element in Kid’s Box that is exploited in combination with the other intelligences.

Interpersonal intelligence, effective communication with others, is treated as a vital aspect of language learning. Communication activities help the development of interpersonal skills, encouraging children to work together and develop further communication strategies.

Intrapersonal intelligence, expression of inner thoughts and feelings, is integrated into the learning process and developed in each of the units in Kid’s Box, thus enabling pupils to become more aware of themselves and the world around them.

Musical intelligence, appreciation of rhythm and music, is covered in every unit through songs, chants and occasional raps. As Howard Gardner points out, this intelligence runs almost parallel to linguistic intelligence.

It is also very important to develop the mind and the body together when working with young learners, thus the Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence, coordination and connection with the whole body, is also taken into account.

There is a range of different activities where the Logical-mathematical intelligence is exploited. These activities help the development of logical thought and problem solving. Visual-spatial intelligence, the expression and understanding through the visual world, is one of the key ways that children learn. Pupils are very aware of the world around them and often think in pictures and images. The presentation of appealing images in Kid’s Box helps children be more creative and stimulates their imagination.

3 Gardner, H. (1994): Estructuras de la mente: la teoría de las inteligencias múltiples, (Colombia, Fondo de Cultura Económica) and Gardner, H. (2001): La inteligencia reformulada: la teoría de las inteligencias múltiples en el siglo XXI, (Barcelona, Paidós).


Lastly, Naturalist intelligence, the ability to interact with the natural world around us, is fundamental for pupils' integral learning. In Kid’s Box there are many observation activities about natural surroundings and reflections about our place in the world.

The eight learning styles can be identified or linked to the Key competences. Regarding the information and technological ability, Kid’s Box proposes an interactive DVD and a CD-ROM accompanying this course in which pupils will find different resources to practise what they have learned in each of the units, helping to develop their autonomous learning at the same time.

Apart from the Key competences, in each unit of Kid’s Box, several sociocultural aspects are explored through different kinds of activities as are attitudes and social awareness topics. Within this area of social awareness, different fields are treated throughout the units: Moral and civic education, education for health, Education for Peace, education for sexual equality, Consumer education and working together in class. In this way, we are teaching our pupils not only to learn a language but also to appreciate and respect its culture, and we are contributing to their development as human beings. At the same time, English is connected with other curricular areas such as Mathematics, Science, Arts, Music and IT, since all the activities proposed are not only for the sake of the language but also in the pursuit of other goals.

4.2 Core contents In assessment, it is crucial to establish the core content. This content has to serve as a guide to both the teaching staff and the pupils when it is comes to assessing the progress made in the learning process and as the basis of the different types of assessment. Mastery of this


content, documented with the different assessment tools, confirms a pupil’s progress and justifies the positive marks the pupils achieve (during or at the end of the academic year).

(See Point 4.1, Content blocks, in this teaching programme)

5 LEARNING STANDARDS

In order to grade the performance or achievement of each pupil during Primary Education the syllabus sets criteria for evaluation. These specifications are called learning standards and enable definition of the results of learning and are based on what pupils should know and know what to do in each subject.

Learning standards must be observable, measurable and possible to evaluate and, along with evaluation criteria, must be used to evaluate skills and objectives in continual evaluations and at the end of each subject. Because of this, syllabus learning standards are set for the whole of Primary Education.

As can be seen in the way learning standards are phrased, they are closely connected with the development of linguistic skills, in such a way that they can be used to check the specific standard of achievement or degree of realisation of objectives during each school year.

In this way the connection between evaluation standards and basic skills is this subject and school year is set as follows for this programme:

6 ASSESSMENT

6.1 Introduction

The teaching and learning process cannot be complete if it is not evaluated and its outcomes measured. Assessment is necessary in order to see to what extent pre-specified objectives have been met so that the teaching programme can be adjusted to the needs and characteristics of the pupils.

Assessment must provide information about what pupils are learning and how The pupils learn. With this data teachers will be able to decide what each pupil needs in order to achieve progress.


Although all aspects of the educational system should be subject to evaluation and open to improvement, the focus must be on assessment in terms of the pupils’ academic progress.

It is vital to monitor the learning of the whole class as well as the individual development of each pupil, taking into account the diverse learning styles and pace. In this way the teacher’s intervention can be tailored to each pupil’s needs. Needless to say, assessment is most often directed by the teacher. Nevertheless, in an approach which involves the pupils so that The pupils take responsibility for their own learning, it makes sense that The pupils also participate in the assessment process. The teacher must also look at how the pupils perceive their own learning and how The pupils react to difficulties. Above all, the teacher must respond to their tastes and preferences as learners of English.

Assessment must take place throughout the various learning stages:

At the beginning of the process. Diagnostic information is gathered at the entry stage: what the pupils already know, what The pupils do not know and what The pupils have misunderstood. This kind of assessment allows the teacher to anticipate problems and modify the teaching programme. It may be done at the beginning of each academic year, term and even every unit.

During the process. Formative assessment helps the teacher make decisions about where to place particular emphasis when extending, eliminating or reinforcing the content. It helps the teacher to decide if the programme has to be modified.

At the end. When each stage has finished, summative assessment enables the teacher to check if teaching/learning outcomes coincide with the set objectives.

Assessment may be limited to what the teacher observes while the class is in progress, or it may entail carefully gathering data that accurately chart the learners’ progress and identify possible difficulties.

It is important in each case to use the type of assessment which best corresponds to each situation and the particular areas of the learning/teaching process that the teacher wants to improve. If the aim is to improve pupils’ listening comprehension, the teacher will set up activities to test their skills and progress, the problems The pupils encounter and to discover how The pupils overcome these difficulties. If the teacher wants to increase motivation, he or she can monitor how much interest the pupils show in the different activities or how much The pupils participate. In this way, by making use of a variety of resources the teacher is able to choose the right tools depending on the aims of the assessment.


These can be defined as the points of reference established for each kind of learning and the degree of acquisition that can be expected of each pupil. These criteria allow us to establish and properly evaluate the main areas of progress made by the pupils, as individuals and as a group. The materials for the first cycle of Kid’s Box follow the assessment criteria below, in accordance with the new law for Primary education:



Identifying the gist, the essential information and main points in very short oral texts with standard language, simple structures and frequently used vocabulary, enunciated with clarity and slowly, read live or using technical resources, about specific, usual subjects connected with personal experiences, needs and interests in predictable daily contexts or connected with areas of immediate need in the personal, public or educational areas, with good acoustic conditions and no distortion of the message, with the possibility of listening to the message again or asking for confirmation and with visual support or a clear visual context reference.

Knowing and using the most appropriate basic strategies for general comprehension of the text's essential information or main points.

Identifying basic, meaningful social and cultural features about daily life, interpersonal relationships, behaviour and social conventions andmaking use of the knowledge acquired about them to understand the text correctly.

Distinguishing between the main communicative function or functions of the text and a limited repertoire of their most usual features, as well as basic patterns of expression.

Recognising the most common meanings associated with basic syntax structures in oral communication.

Recognising a limited repertoire of oral vocabulary often used in everyday situations and usual, specific subjects connected with needs and interests and using the context indicators and the information in the text to form an idea about the probable meanings of unfamiliar words and expressions.

Distinguishing between sound patterns, accents, rhythms and basic intonation and recognising general communicative meanings and intentions connected with them.

Block 2. Production of oral texts (Speaking)

Taking part in a simple, comprehensible way in short conversations which involve a direct exchange of information in areas of immediate need or about familiar subjects using a neutral, informal register, using simple phases or expressions of frequent use, which are normally used separately or linking them with basic connectors, even though the pronunciation may not always be clear, although there may be pauses and hesitations and repetition may be required, as well as paraphrasing and the interlocutor's cooperation in order to keep communication going.

Knowing and being able to use basic strategies in order to produce oral texts about single subjects or very short, simple dialogues.

Knowing specific and meaningful basic sociocultural and sociolinguistic features, applying knowledge about them when speaking in the same context, respecting the most basic communicative conventions.

Comply with the text's main communicative function, using a limited repertoire of its most frequent features and basic communication patterns.


Using basic syntax structures (eg. linking words and groups of words with basic connectors such as "and", "then", "but" and "because") although still making basic mistakes habitually.

Knowing and using a much used, limited oral repertoire in daily situations about usual, specific subjects connected with interests, experiences and needs.

Using, in a general comprehensible manner, albeit obviously influenced by mother tongue or other languages, a very limited repertoire of basic sound, accent, rhythmic and intonation patterns, adapting them to the communicative task desired.

Making yourself understood in short, simple speech, although initial hesitation and faltering are apparent, as are repetitions and pauses to organise, correct and better express what you want to say.

Interact in a very basic way, using very simple techniques, both language and non-verbal at first, to hold or conclude a conversation.


Identifying the subject, the gist, the main ideas and specific information in very short, simple texts, in standard language, with often used vocabulary, in which the subject and the type of text are highly familiar, dealing with everyday subjects or matters of immediate need, with the possibility of re-reading if you have not understood it, using a dictionary and with visual and context support.

Knowingand knowing how to use the most appropriate strategies to understand the gist, essential information or the text's main points.

Identifying specific and meaningful sociocultural and sociolinguistic features about daily life, living conditions, personal relationships and social conventions, and apply the knowledge used to understand the text correctly.

Distinguishing the text's communication function or functions and a limited repertoire from its most usual features, as well as basic communication patterns.

Recognising the basic syntax structures associated with the main principles of written communication.

Recognising a limited repertoire of frequently used vocabulary about very day situations and usual, specific subjects connected with your experiences, needs and interests, and inferring the probably meanings of words and expressions from the context and other information in the text.

Recognising basic punctuation marks, as well as frequently used symbols, and identifying the meanings and general communicative purpose of each one.

Block 4. Production of written texts (Writing)

Write very short, simple texts made up of simple, independent sentences, in a neutral register, in a reasonably correct way in terms of basic punctuation, to speak about yourself, your immediate surroundings and things from your daily life in predictable, familiar situations.


Knowing and applying basic strategies for producing very simple, short written texts.

Knowing basic, specific and meaningful sociocultural and sociolinguistic features and applying this knowledge to write a context appropriate text.

Comply with the written text's main communicative function using a limited repertoire of the most frequently used features and communication patterns.

Using basic syntax structures, although still making basic mistakes habitually.

Knowing and using frequent written vocabulary about daily situations and usual, specific subjects connected with your interests, experiences and needs.

Using basic punctuation conventions to write words and short sentences which are often used in speech reasonably correctly..

As we stated in the previous section, both evaluation criteria and their application - learning standards - must be items in terms of objective achievement and each stage's skills.

Furthermore, for specific evaluation of the degree of achievement in terms of these criteria in the first school year of Primary Education, the teacher may use the DESCRIPTORS listed in section 3 (Basic Skills) and 5 (Learning Standards) and in this programme's Didactic Units Development.

6.3 Assessment in Kid’s Box

With pupils of this age, it is best to use continuous assessment, monitoring their progress in the classroom and using this information to help with teaching. The continuous assessment that relies on pupils monitored by the teacher and who will use this monitoring to correct their own progress, will make the role of pupils even more active, since the pupils are learning from the input the pupils are given by the teacher but, at the same time, the pupils are monitoring themselves.

Children do not develop at the same rate and do not all learn in the same way. So we need to assess each pupil as an individual and not compare them with the other pupils in the class. We should look for progress and development in every pupil.

We should assess and monitor the pupils’ social and emotional development together with their learning of English. This means that we should praise effort and encourage them to share and to work in pairs and groups, as well as giving them feedback on their English.

The following assessment criteria are adapted from those established by the Law in relation to the teaching material found in Kid’s Box and which are considered important and necessary areas of evaluation.

1. Understand gist. The purpose is to measure pupils’ ability to understand the gist of short and simple spoken messages. These messages are presented in ideal conditions, that is, in direct communication and with contextual clues.

2. Understand specific details in messages. The aim is not only to enable pupils to understand the gist, but also extract the details, which the teacher has pointed out


beforehand, in simple spoken and written texts familiar to the pupils, even if other parts of the message are not understood completely.

3. Produce messages. Also subject to assessment is the pupils’ ability to express themselves orally in everyday situations that are familiar to them. Value is given to the pupils’ ability to make themselves understood. Pronunciation errors that do not impede communication are overlooked.

4. Pronunciation. The pupils are assessed on their assimilation of the phonological system of English, the phonemes, rhythm and intonation, and whether the pupils can apply this knowledge to understanding and producing simple, contextualised and familiar messages.

5. Acquiring new vocabulary. The aim of the criteria is to assess the pupils’ ability to successfully understand and use the vocabulary and expressions that have been highlighted for learning. The acquisition of new vocabulary will always be monitored in situations that have a clear context and are familiar.

6. Class participation. By observing their behaviour, the teacher will assess if pupils take part in communicative tasks in a constructive way, respecting the norms of oral interaction.

7. Collaborative work. By monitoring how pupils behave, the teacher will also see if the pupils’ participate constructively in group activities. While working, the pupils will cooperate to ensure that the learning environment is harmonious.

8. Individual work. Observing how pupils behave also enables the teacher to assess individual work in terms of accurate content, attention to presentation, and ability to work within a time limit.

9. Interest in learning. The aim of the criteria is to see if the pupils demonstrate interest in making progress in their learning and curiosity in finding out new things, if the pupils pay attention in class, if the pupils ask questions, or if the pupils let the teacher know the pupils are unsure about something.

10. Respect for others. This assesses the extent to which the pupils demonstrate respect towards classmates and teachers, listen without interrupting, waiting their turn to speak, and valuing the ideas and opinions of others.

11. Interest in getting to know other cultures. This assesses whether pupils demonstrate interest in learning about the cultural aspects of the English-speaking world, if the pupils are attentive when these aspects are discussed in class and if the pupils ask questions to broaden their knowledge.

12. Use of polite phrases and strategies. Through direct observation, the teacher can see whether, when speaking, pupils use the polite phrases the pupils are gradually learning in class and if the pupils incorporate these phrases into the everyday classroom routine.

To have an overview of the class as a whole, the teacher may design a grid. The pupils’ names are written in the left-hand column and the numbers of the assessment criteria are written in the top row. A colour code can be used to mark each box according to each pupil’s achievement (for example, green for good, blue for satisfactory and red for unsatisfactory). In this way, the teacher will be able to see quickly how well the group is doing.

Discipline is also part of a good assessment. By channelling pupils’ innate energy to the good, we can often avoid unruliness and indiscipline. A lot of discipline problems arise when pupils are under challenged and bored, or when activities are too repetitive. Kid’s Box has been written taking into account the very different needs and requirements of pupils thus including a wide variety of activities for pupils to enjoy.


However, it is important that the teacher establishes a context of discipline in the classroom by making sure pupils know what is acceptable and what is not, and by treating all pupils in the same way. Clear and fair discipline parameters create a ‘safe’ classroom environment in which pupils can work confidently and freely.

To hold the interest of young pupils, we will need to get a balance between their limitless energy and their limited attention span in order to avoid boredom, restlessness and demotivation, factors that will end, once more, in discipline problems.

6.4 Evaluation in Kid’s Box

The photocopiable evaluation pages in Kid’s Box 1 & 2 (Teacher's Book) have been designed for use after every revision section or Review every four units. These evaluation pages use exercises similar to those of the Cambridge YLE exams, in which the four skills are evaluated (oral comprehension, oral production, reading and writing).

You should tell the pupils that you are going to give them an evaluation activity, but make sure The pupils don’t become too anxious about it. It is important that the pupils come to the activity feeling relaxed and positive, believing that they can do it.You should allow them ten minutes for each evaluation and do not forget to give them all the instructions in English.

While doing the evaluation, monitor and encourage them. Once you have corrected the evaluation sheet, give each pupils feedback by colouring in the stars at the end of the sheet and drawing a smiley face.

Always focus on what the pupils can do and what they have done, rather than on what they cannot do.

The more practice pupils have with different types of activities and the more familiar they are with the exam format, the easier they will find doing YLE Starters with confidence once they have finished Kid’s Box 2.

In the annex at the end of this document there is a COMPETENCES EVALUATION FORM, broken into different DESCRIPTORS, which the teacher may use at the end of each unit, each quarter or whenever appropriate throughout the school year.

7 INDIVIDUAL NEEDS

It is easy to see how both the policy-makers and teachers seem more concerned about dealing with pupils who have learning difficulties than with their more capable classmates, who may end up feeling bored in class if The pupils are not motivated or given more difficult activities to tackle. This is yet another challenge facing those working in education.

With this situation in mind, it is worth commenting on how Kid’s Box handles diversity in terms of its programme, structure and contents. As mentioned earlier, the programme in Quick Minds is flexible. It has points to consider and general proposals to help teachers adapt this programme to their own context: the school, their classroom and each learner.


Kid’s Box carefully-selected contents are presented in a stimulating and motivating way in an effort to cater to diversity. The series follows a cyclical structure that allows learners to build on what the pupils know and to delve more deeply into new or more complex areas of language and culture. Similarly, the complex assessment procedure has general criteria that must be elaborated and adapted towards each group with specific objectives, according to the context of the school, teacher and class. Teachers have different assessment tools and skills, as well as defined tasks at their disposal. Moreover, it is necessary to establish the core content according to the needs, capacities and pace at which our pupils learn.

Furthermore, attention should be paid towards the activities, materials and resources proposed by Kid’s Box for the successful handling of catering to individual needs. A great many of these activities can be personalised and are open-ended so that each pupil can respond differently, according to his or her ability.

The activities in the Activity Book work on the key points in each unit. The pupils can be used for both the pupils in need of greater support and the more gifted who finish the basic task early. Each pupil will need a set amount of time, which will more or less depend on the degree of their motivation. The activities are mostly designed for use in the classroom, but can also be set for homework as reinforcement. As shown in the table below, the same material and/or resources can be used for support or extension: only the objective is changed accordingly. For instance, a simple question about a story card can serve as reinforcement for the weaker pupils, but it can also inspire an extension activity if the pupils are asked to think of more other words in the same lexical set.

It is recommendable that the teacher makes the most of the pupils’ skills in as many ways as he/she can think of. It may be the case that the pupil who hates speaking, enjoys writing vocabulary on the board, while others may be good at drawing or making posters.

Another key factor is the methodology followed by the teacher with his particular group of pupils and more specifically with those with learning difficulties. The most important thing with any kind of task is to make sure that pupils have been well prepared beforehand, that The pupils know all the words The pupils will need and that The pupils understand the purpose of the activity. Equipping pupils properly with the linguistic tools to enable them to carry out the task or activity successfully will ensure that it is challenging and enjoyable for everyone. Without the necessary preparation, pupils may have a negative learning experience which will cause them to lose confidence and become frustrated with an activity that The pupils have not got the ability to do.

Before starting an activity, demonstrate it. For pair work activities choose a pupil to help you. Then follow up by choosing two pupils to demonstrate the activity for the whole class.

Try to move around the classroom while explaining or doing activities, circulating among the pupils. At the same time you project an air of confidence and of being more accessible to pupils. Movement in the classroom tends to hold pupils’ attention better and makes the class more lively and dynamic.

In the same way that is a good idea for teachers to move around, you can also have the same technique with the seating arrangements in your classroom. Weaker pupils could be put next to stronger ones to help group dynamics and break up potentially disruptive pupils. When working in pairs, weaker pupils will be helped by those who are stronger, pupils tend to help each other. When working in groups, it is also good to have mixed ability groups. Whenever possible, have pupils just move their chairs around one or two tables in order to create them an easy environment for discussion and written work.


As we have previously said, assessment and encouragement is essential with young pupils, but even more important with those with learning difficulties. When carrying out an activity, try to guide them towards finding the correct answer rather than supplying them yourself. That way, pupils will feel satisfied when reaching the right answer. Whenever a mistake is made by any of the pupils, teach them that making mistakes is a vital part of the learning process so as The pupils will not be ashamed of being wrong.

The Extra Activities for each lesson can be used whenever you feel that pupils need more practice with some of the language. The same activities can be used as a way of extension for fast learners, even if you may add a little change in the instructions. Besides, in the Teacher’s Resource Pack you will find three reinforcement and extension worksheets for every unit, as well as a cross-curricular worksheet to further exploit the unit.

Don’t forget that recycling is another important part of the learning process that will help very much pupils with special needs as well as the rest of the group. Kid’s Box builds in regular recycling and includes different games and techniques to Revise the language seen in each unit or in each set of three units.

The Teacher’s Resource Pack together with the Interactive DVD and the Digital Minds material, offer further materials designed to help teachers cater to the individuals The pupils encounter in class: photocopiable worksheets, vocabulary cards and activities for festivals.
