INGLES

Importancia del Inglès

En busca de estrategias lùdicas que gusten a los educandos, en la enseñannza del Inglès, la institucion ha venido desarrollando proyectos en los que interactuan docentes y estudiantes:

PROYECTO DÍA DE LA LENGUA EXTRANJERA – TERCER CONCURSO DE LA CANCIÓN EN INGLÉS

JUSTIFICACIÓN

La importancia de fortalecer las competencias comunicativas en los estudiantes nos lleva a implementar proyectos como éste , para que ellos empleen el inglés de una manera lúdica y en un contexto real.   Pretendemos romper con el esquema del temor hacia una lengua extranjera y dar otras opciones para que los jóvenes se familiaricen con el inglés partiendo de sus propios gustos.

El programa Nacional de Bilingüísmo     busca que por lo menos los Colombianos podamos comunicarnos en inglés de alguna forma y se cree que la música es un buen aliado para inducir a los estudiantes a una segunda lengua.

DIAGNOSTICO

Se observa en la mayoría de los estudiantes desmotivación por aprender una segunda lengua debido a que el contexto no los obliga a usarla en todas partes sino sólo en el salón de clase. Por otra parte , el escaso   vocabulario que manejan les imposibilita comunicar ideas y prefieren guardar silencio.

Se evidencia el gusto por la música en los jóvenes y por otras actividades de carácter lúdico.

OBJETIVO GENERAL

Fortalecer las competencias comunicativas en inglés en los estudiantes de la Institución Educativa Técnica Susana Guillemin, a través de actividades lúdicas como la música .

OBJETIVOS ESPECÍFICOS

1. Aprender nuevo vocabulario para emplearlo en contextos reales.

2. Poner en práctica nuevas estrategias para el desarrollo de las competencias comunicativas en inglés.

3. Despertar el gusto por el inglés en la comunidad educativa.

1. HOW TO GET THE STUDENTS LIKE ENGLISH BY LUDIC ACTIVITIES

2. DIAGNOSTICS AND JUSTIFICATION

Most students dislike English classes because these are developed by a formal way and the students don´t feel comfortable using the foreign language. They don´t get to enjoy their learning, so that it´s important to use other strategies in the English language Teaching in order to attract the student´s attention.

Teaching of a second language demands to develop all four communicative skills in learners and these can developed by different ludic activities like contests, songs, rallies, etc. English teachers can get this proposal if they have appropriate resources, but in my school there aren´t those ones which are necessary in order to develop different activities. For that reason it´s indispensable to make some materials with the students’ help and little by little to get that the learners abolish the prejudice that English is difficult to learn.
