METHODOLOGY AND ORGANIZATION OF TASKS
English Language I Grammar is divided into 5 main areas: Language proper, Grammar & Syntax,
Literature, Listening and Creative Writing.
Throughout the course, the students will work on these areas by practising in all skills -reading,
speaking, listening and writing- , the idea being that contents learnt and practice made in one area be
applied interchangeably in them all.
Weekly hours and classes will be split among teachers in charge so as to deal with the following
specific material: Intensive Reading Passages, Selected Idioms, Grammar practice, Syntax analysis,
Intensive Practice on Use of English (Paraphrasing and Cloze Exercises), Short Stories analysis,
Vocabulary Work, Phrasal Verbs Practice, Creative Writing, Listening abstracts and podcasts.
After discussing selected intensive reading texts, and with the aim of reinforcing and applying
contents learnt each term and of preparing students for the oral exam, students will be asked to
seek and select, for submission to the teacher and presentation in class, articles specifically related
to the material and topics dealt with in the intensive reading passages.
METODOLOGÍA DE TRABAJO Y ORGANIZACION DE TAREAS
La materia Lengua I Gramática está dividida en 5 áreas principales: Lengua propiamente dicha,
Gramática y Sintaxis, Literatura, Actividades de Comprensión auditiva (Listening) y Taller de
Escritura.
A lo largo del curso, el alumno trabajará en estas áreas entrenando y poniendo a prueba todas sus
destrezas (lectura, escritura, producción oral y comprensión auditiva), con la concepción de integrar
los contenidos aprendidos en un área y aplicarlos en el resto.
La carga horaria semanal y la clase se dividirán entre los docentes especializados a cargo para
trabajar con el siguiente material específico: Textos de Lectura Intensiva y Actividades de Lectocomprensión, Expresiones Idiomáticas, Práctica Gramatical, Análisis Sintáctico, Use of English
(Paráfrasis, Ejercicios de Transformación y llenado), Análisis Literario, Vocabulario, Práctica de
Frases Verbales, Taller de Escritura Creativa, actividades de Comprensión Auditiva.
Una vez finalizado el análisis de los textos de lectura intensiva seleccionados de para cada
cuatrimestre, y a fin de reforzar y aplicar lo aprendido así como preparar al alumno para la situación
del examen oral, se solicitará a los alumnos que busquen y seleccionen, para entregar al profesor y
hacer una presentación oral en clase, un artículo específicamente relacionado con el material y los
temas tratados en el área de Textos de Lectura Intensiva.
