Los principios normativos que establece el artculo tercero constitucional, la transformacin educativa que alienta el
Plan Nacional de Desarrollo 2007-2012 y los objetivos sealados en el Programa Sectorial de Educacin 2007-2012
(P ROSEDU ), han constituido la base rectora para dar sentido y ordenar las acciones de poltica pblica educativa en el
Mxico de las prximas dcadas.
En este marco y con base en las atribuciones que le otorga la Ley General de Educacin, la Secretara deEducacin Pblica estableci como objetivo fundamental del P ROSEDU Elevar la calidad de la educacin para que los
estudiantes mejoren su nivel de logro educativo, cuenten con medios para tener acceso a un mayor bienestar y
contribuyan al desarrollo nacional ( SEP 2007:11). La principal estrategia para la consecucin de este objetivo en
educacin bsica dispone realizar una reforma integral de la educacin bsica, centrada en la adopcin de un modelo
educativo basado en competencias, que responda a las necesidades de desarrollo de Mxico en el Siglo XXI (SEP
2007:24), con miras a lograr mayor articulacin y eficiencia entre preescolar, primaria y secundaria.
El PROSEDU tambin establece que Los criterios de mejora de la calidad educativa deben aplicarse a la
capacitacin de profesores, la actualizacin de programas de estudio y sus contenidos, los enfoques pedaggicos,
mtodos de enseanza y recur sos didcticos ( SEP 2007:11). A su vez, la UNESCO 1 ha sealado que los sistemas
educativos necesitan preparar a los estudiantes para enfrentar los nuevos retos de un mundo globalizado en el que el

contacto entre mltiples lenguas y culturas es cada vez ms comn. La educacin tiene, en este contexto, la obligacin
de ayudar a los estudiantes a comprender las diversas expresiones culturales existentes en Mxico y el mundo.
Desde esta perspectiva, la Subsecretara de Educacin Bsica reconoce la necesidad de incorporar la asignaturade Ingls a los planes y programas de estudio de educacin preescolar y primaria y realizar los ajustes pertinentes en
los de Ingls para secundaria, con el propsito de articular la enseanza de esta lengua extranjera en los tres niveles
de educacin bsica y de lograr, a travs de esta articulacin, que al concluir su educacin secundaria los alumnos
hayan desarrollado la competencia plurilinge y pluricultural que necesitan para enfrentar con xito los desafos
comunicativos del mundo globalizado, construir una visin amplia de la diversidad lingstica y cultural a nivel global y
respetar su propia cultura y la de los dems.
Con el fin de instrumentar las diversas acciones que hagan posible la articulacin de la enseanza de ingls, laSecretara de Educacin Pblica puso en marcha el Programa Nacional de Ingls para Educacin Bsica ( PNIEB o NEPBE*
por sus siglas en ingls), del que se derivan programas de estudio para los tres niveles de educacin bsica elaborados
a partir de la alineacin y homologacin de estndares nacionales e internacionales, la determinacin de criterios para
la formacin de profesores, as como del establecimiento de lineamientos para la elaboracin y evaluacin de
materiales educativos y para la certificacin del dominio del ingls.
Una de las acciones previstas es el desarrollo de reuniones nacionales de fortalecimiento acadmico para
profesores de ingls, que tienen como finalidad ofrecer informacin y asesora tcnico-pedaggica que coadyuve a las
tareas necesarias para la implementacin y generalizacin de los programas de estudio correspondientes a los cuatro
ciclos del Programa Nacional de Ingls para Educacin Bsica.

Introduction
The PNIEB contemplates, within its testing phases, the organization of nation-wide meetings whose objective
is the academic strengthening of basic education English language teachers by giving them a place to reflect
upon the characteristics and elements of study programs.
The possibility of making the development of PNIEBs study programs a viable reality in the educational
practice of those charged with the teaching of the Asignatura estatal. Lengua adicional: Ingls will depend on
the commitment and response that the various actors in the school community (educational authorities,
teachers, students, parents or guardians) show in face of the challenges carried by both the adoption of this
subject by the preschool/primary study programs and the adjustments made to that subjects study
programs in secondary level.
From this perspective, the work guides which complement the training workshops -of which Cycle 1 is
included here- represent the opportunity to share qualms, questions and expectations about the curricular
proposal and the possibility to reflect upon its propositions and elements, so that it is feasible to incorporate
it into the educational practice of English language teachers in public schools all across the country.
It should be mentioned that the development and implementation of a national curricular program
destined to the teaching and learning of a foreign language for the first time in all of the basic education

levels (preschool, primary and secondary) inevitably leads to the educational authorities and the teachers
assuming the responsibility of preparing themselves and creating the conditions necessary to offer every
student the same learning opportunities, in order to ensure they all have the possibility to satisfy their needs
and reach the goals set in the PNIEBs study p rograms.
Consequently, both the subject teacher and the school community as a whole must be aware of the
necessity there is of creating learning environments in which their students can use English in an appropriate
way with social and learning goals.
It is under these principles that the curricular foundations and study programs of the PNIEB establish as
a main objective the assimilation of social practices of the language, as it is through involvement in thesethat communication gains relevancy and, as a consequence, language is acquired. Therefore, the PNIEB
requires that teachers are capable of appreciating both the relationship between the English language and
social context, as well as the functions and social/cultural meanings involved in the processes and behaviours
inherent to various communication situations.
The Coordinacin Nacional de Ingls de la Direccin General de Desarrollo Curricular de la Subsecretara de
Educacin Pblica has undertaken the task of developing, for its 2010-2011 school year test stage, theaforementioned national meetings for basic education English language teachers, together with the
corresponding Guas de Trabajo and Guas de renivelacin , with the purpose of displaying the parameters and
elements of the curricular proposal contained within its study programs as well as offering the didactic
background needed for its adoption.

Tensions between curricular and extra-curricular aims 1 Social (or communicative) aims inside the school tend to be relegated or excluded insomuch as didactic aimsare placed first, which leads to a first tension:
If the school teaches how to listen, speak, read and write with the only aim of students learning to do so, then,they wont learn to use these abilities to accomplish other purposes, such as, the ones one has in social life.
If the school (or the text books) abandon the didactic aims and assume the ones in the socialpractice, it will abandon its teaching function as well.

1. Read the following excerpt and decide if the highlightedelements match the main ideas.
Concepts derived from the subject approach
Mind and reasoning are concepts that cannot be considered as independent from the activities andenvironments in which they are manifested*, since knowledge is not isolated from the cognitiveprocess, nor are people from the activities and environments in which they operate. Therefore, the mindand social- cultural environment are mutually constructed. As stated by Lave, cognition is placed in theprocess of experiencing the world and in the experienced world, through ac tivity, in a context.
The acquisition of culturally-significant knowledge according to Lave (1991 in Biddle, B. et al.2000:40): should be understood as the process through which one becomes a member of acommunity [this is to say as] the progressive possession of the legitimate peripheral participation of awhole person in some practicing communities. Lave (1991 in Biddle, B. et al. 2000:40) states as well: inwhich experts and apprentices interact in a culturally- significant practice.
Aims
To reflect upon the social practices of the language asthe PNIEBs object of study and the curricular contentswhich are derived from these.

Learning constitutes, as stated by Rogoff (1994 in Biddle, B. et al. 2000:42), a function in the changingof roles which is produced when a person participates in a community of learners and becomes anexpert member in it and, it is defined as a transform ative process in participation. Therefore,involvement is the most pressing matter, while the changes in the nature of the activity are producedthrough the progressive involvement of the learner.
Development is the process which occurs when a person relates to, understands and handlesproblems or specific types of activities, turning these into units of analysis and interpretation. Assuch, fundamental in cognitive development is collaborative espousement understood as aprogression in the nature of the interaction between an adult (expert) and a child (apprentice), as can beaffirmed paraphrasing Rogoffs concepts.

Reasoning over the formal aspects of a foreign language cannot be considered independent from thecommunicative activities and the social environments in which they are manifested because...
It is not possible to acquire, learn, or develop knowledge without the possibility of considering them...
If the cognitive process is understood as a series of moments or stages a person goes through in order toacquire knowledge, then social environments are understood as

Concepts of Assessment
From the perspective of a curricular proposal based on competencies (or, as in the case of the English subject, social practices of the language),assessment is a complex but essential element in the learning process. It allows a value to be given to the s tudents participation in acommunicative situation in order to help them face successfully the challenges it implies. There are currently various opinions regarding this typeof assessment among which are those belonging to the following authors:
Wiggins (quoted by Biddle, B.) 1 states that assessment: must become a fundamental experience for the students learning, allow an analysis of his/her reasoning and adopt multiple and diverse styles. To fulfill all of these requirements, assessment tasks must reflect the characteristicactivities and the challenges that are characteristic of the practicing community.
According Lomas, C. 2: to assess is a process directed towards knowing how learning has been produced in accordance to the goals we aspire,to the selection of contents we have produced and to the tasks we have developed along with the students.
According to Lerner, D.3: Assessment of learning is essential since it provides information about the function of didactic situations that allows th ereor ientation of instruction, to make necessary adjustments in order to advance towards the fulfillment of the aims.
As Zabala, A. affirms4: In order to assess competency it is necessary to have reliable data about the learning level of each student in relation tothe competency in question. This requires the use of various instruments and didactic resources that work in function of the specific characteristics of each competency in the different contexts where it could or should becarried out.
Finally, Sacristn, G 5. considers that: It is about transforming exam worship, rooted in habit and routineas a tool for control, both in the assessment culture and the practice of education. Transitioning from theexams static condition towards the motion of c lass interaction, dialogue and exchange, in which the
information is crucial to the construction of learning and the overcoming of obstacles, mistakes included.

Choose a unit per grade and, according to your interests, distribute the different grades among
yourselves . Read and comment the social practices of the language, the specific activities with the language
and the to do, to know and to be contents as well as the achievements for the unit and gradesyoull be working .
Consult Cycle 1s purposes and write down in the corresponding sections the instruments youconsider adequate to assess the progress and participation of students qualitatively, in thecommunicative situations designed for work with the social practices and specific activities foreach unit .
Characteristics of the format with rubrics:
Formats with rubrics are a type of assessment chart consisting of a list of questions or affirmations intendedto assess the students communicative competency when dealing with the tasks designed by the professor toundertake the contents of specific activities.
These formats include a value scale, which allows the identification and verification of the students achievements and participation regarding the contents and specific activities with the language of the socialpractice in question.
The format with rubrics can be used with different types of assessment: students assessed by the teacher,self-assessment, assessment between peers, by teams, or among the group as a whole.

Formats with rubrics are very useful for the following:
To specify the didactic and social objectives of the problem, aim or product to be solved orachieved throughout the process of the communicative situation, designed to undertake the
contents of both the specific activities and social practices of the language, set in threedifferent environments.
To specify the ways in which students can achieve such goals. To define the criteria with which the students progress will be assessed when participating inactions related to the various stages of the designed communicative situation.
To provide the students with information, through a scale, about their attitudes towards thelanguage, as well as what they need to do with it, and know about it, in order to successfullyundertake the various phases of the planned communicative situation in each of the socialpractices.
To allow the students to recognize the progress or difficulties they encounter in their learning of the actions, the attitudes and/or knowledge with and about the language when participating incommunicative situations.
Steps to create a checklist that can be used in the 2 nd (or 1 st ) grade of Primary:
a) Make a table with four columns and several rows. Row count will depend on the number of indicators to beused.
b) Write on the upper row (starting from the second column) a value scale with various levels of achievement. Inthis case, these three are suggested: Yes, No, and Doubtful.
