In XXI century society, we must prepare our pupils to live in a world which is becoming more and more international, multicultural and multilingual.
The main objective of the area of Foreign Language is to enable our students to speak, listen, read and write in this Language from the beginning of their learning.
Foreign Language classes are essential to our pupils’ learning, because most of them never use the second language out of the class.
Therefore, we want our pupils to achieve comunicative competence in the oral and written way, in social contexts acording to their age.

2. EDUCATIVE PROJECT OF THE CENTRE
2.1 Context and Language Program
Capacity
It´s a double line school : This year fourth and fifth grade are lost . Nowadays it has registered 343 pupils, distributed in the level of preprimary education- 6 units, Primary education – 10 units . The classrooms has a medium of 22 pupils except 3rd and 6th grade of PIL , that only has 15 pupils .
It has a dinning room service , where 203 pupils eat all days.
The new pupils matriculation is ever constant all of the year because of that the classroom hasn´t covered the maximum established limit by the ratio .
Principles of identity
– The center assume and promote the values of freedom , tolerance , cooperation and solidarity as well as respect and appreciation to the human dignity , withouth forgetting the formation for the peace .
– We can fight against the media powers to eradicte the negative values like the consumerism , xenophobia , competitiveness ..
– We use undistinctively the valencian language and the spanish language depending on the context .
– Methodologic and active line based on the individual education
– Be essential that all of the educative community will be perceiving the arrival of student body immigrant as a Wealth-producing fact because of this the school thinks necessary that the fact of the creation of tolerance attitudes in the pupils is necessary to favour the intercultural relationship .
This year program is thinking to develop in a school situated in Mare de Déu del Remei Street , d´Alacant . The population is the middle class and it recovers a few qualificate job ,prevailing the workers for foreign account, the majority of them works in the construction of buildings and houses and peddlers . The women on the whole , devote to the domestic service.
The attended population is very diversed: sons of indigenous families with a significant number belonging to the gypsi etnia : There is well-Known the increase of immigrant families proceeding from Spanish-American countries as Ecuador, Colombia, which they come to this zone to work as a housekeeping.
Services
The neighbourhood has three different primary education centers , two of high school, one of Preprimary , one center of permanent education and the art and applied trades next to our school .
Our neighbours have two libraries that nowadays don´t take advantage by the people of the neighbourhood.
A center of health of primary care covers the basic needs.
The neighbourhood has got a great zone of games, The “Lo Morant” park , sportscenter tracks so much in the same park as in our center, a cover sportscenter.
The MTA (Metropolitan transport area ) service communicates the neighbourhood with the rest of the city.
2.2 Class characteristics
Our class consist of a lot of pupils with a lot of different nationalities
– 3 morrocans
– 1 ecuadorians
– 3 colombians
– 1 pupil of East Europe
– And on the other hand :
– 5 gipsy pupils
– The rest of the pupils to complete 24 are spanish pupils.
All the derivade needs of all of this are :
– By one side the variety of languages and the educative level that they do necessary curricular adjustments to access to the currículum and the group ones too: by the other side the need to foment attitudes of tolerance and of respect towards the different cultures that interact everyday in our classroom
We are going to analize students who are in the third grade of primary education, for this reason, we have thought that it would be a good idea to analize how are these students if we analize them using Piaget stages.
Our students belong to the Concrete Operations Stage (7 to 11 years)
Intelligence is now both symbolic and logical.
Acquires ‘operations’ = a set of general rules and strategies.
The most critical part of operations is realising ‘reversibility’ = both physical and mental processes can be reversed and cancelled out by others.
The concrete operational child will overcome the aspects of rigidity apparent in a preoperational child. These are:
- lack of reversibility
- states
- appearance
- conservation
The tasks of concrete operations are:
- Seriation – putting items (such as toys) in height order.
- Classification – the difference between two similar items such as daisies and roses.
- Conservation – realising something can have same properties, even if it appears differently.
It is important to realise that operations and conservations don’t develop at the same time. They develop gradually and are not an ‘all or nothing’ phenomenon. For example, the first to develop is number conservation followed by mass conservation, area conservation, liquid conservation and finally solid volume conservation.
Thinking is not abstract. It is limited to concrete phenomena and the child’s own past experiences.
2.3 Collateral Topic of the centre
In our school there are a lot of nationalities and this is an adventage for eveybody because we can learn a lot of things each other. We think that the most important thing in the good development of the course is teaching students to respect each other, for this reason, we will focus our collateral topic in these aspects:
– moral and civic education
– peace education
Because these help us:
– To establish good relationships in the center.
– To eliminate any possible.
– To respect all of the cultures

Nowadays the consumer society is a very big problem. We want our pupils to develop a critic attitude towards consumes, knowing their rights and duties, developing responsibility and solidarity and analysing and selecting products.
We will desenvolupe this aspect in the unit called “My Bedroom”
– Peace Education.
Through this collateral topic we want our pupils to develop values such as solidarity, tolerance, and respect for the diversity, dialogue capacity and social participation. From our area we develop this collateral topic teaching a foreign language and its culture. From the knowledge we achieve respect and tolerance.
We will desenvolupe this collateral topic in the following units: “My bedroom”, “The Ugly Duckling” and “The city”.

We work Environmental Education due to the fact that our pupils have to value and respect environmental places and their fauna. They also have to been conscious of the necessity to conserve them. It appears in the unit called “The city”
5. CROSS-CURRICULAR ASPECTS
We must conceive education as a global process, in which children should develop attitudes and acquire contents from the different areas in an integrated way. According to this, we must work in our classes not only with our pupils previous knowledge of our subject, but also with aspects related to the other areas in the curriculum. These areas are the following:
- Literature and language: We have globalized with this subject in units: “ The city”, “My bedroom” and “The Ugly Duckling”
- Art: We have globalized with this subject in the unit “The Ugly Duckling
- Knowledge of the environment: We have globalized with this subject in units: “The city” and “The food”

- Drama: In “My bedroom” we have done exercises about drama
- New Technologies: “The Ugly Duckling” and “The City” desenvolupe this area in some of these sessions

6. METHODOLOGY AND GROUPINGS
6.1. Methodology (LOGSE & LOE)
ü Communicative approach. It is an approach to the teaching of second and foreign languages that emphasizes interaction
ü Four skills in an integrated way.
ü Emphasis in the oral skills.
We think that reading and writing are important, but we don’t have to forget the oral and listening speaking
ü Significative learning. We think that with this kind of learning our children will learn better because their actual knowledge is related to the new information that we teach them
ü Lots of visual Aids. We have not to forget that they are children who are 8 years old so it is very important to reinforce the information with a lot of visual aids to attract their attention
ü Learning by doing: They will learn doing things, because we think that the practice is the best way to memorize and to adapt the new information to use it in the future correctly.
6.2. Groupings
We use all types of groupings in our class, individual work activities, pair work, group work and the whole class, depending on the skill we are working.
We will let students work on their own and at their own speed at some stage during the class. Individual work will be used in writing and reading to relax the students from outside pressure and to relay on themselves rather than on other people.
We will use the pair work to encourage pupils’ cooperation to increase the amount of pupil practice and to allow our pupils them to use the English language.
We think that to allow communication and co-operation among students who have different levels and interest the better way is the class grouping. Through the corners methodology we have the great advantage of allowing different groups of children to do different things in the classroom.
As teachers, we will act as a controller and assessor.
In the classroom we are going to:
– Try and achieve a warm, friendly, relaxed, atmosphere
– Make sure that the chairs and the tables are appropriately placed
– Make sure there is enough light and heating/ventilation
– Have a place where the children keep their English book and notebooks and worksheets for early finishers
– Display the children’s work and relevant posters on the walls, and keep the displays up to date.
– If the children are working in pairs or groups, we are going to walk around the classroom making comments, praising and encouraging.
– It is a good idea finishes a lesson with a whole class activity such a chant, a song, or a quick game.
6.3. Special Educative Needs
When we work oral skills in class, all the pupils work together in an integrated way following the same activities, but when we work the reading and writing processures, we want that all pupils help each others and that is why we choose this kind of methodology.
To continue we are going to comment on the most relevant legislation in material of regional n.e.e.:
DECREE 39 /1998 of March 31 of the Valencian government of arrangement of the education for the attention of the students body with the educational special needs .

9. EVALUATION
The importante of a new evaluation is the base for the improvement of the quality of the education, so that, is important to do like a global form, systematic and formative.
For that, we are going to start of the evaluation in tour aspects:
1. Students evaluation.
2. Our own evaluation by the students.
3. Resources evaluation.
1. Student assessment
This will be done in three different moments
– It will be necessary an initial evaluation: to the begining of the year and to the begining of each didactic unit in what we are going to check the previous knowledges of the students to start with this and help them with their learning.
– We will do a continuous evaluation: along the whole process and during each activity and we will make us for :
o The direct observation in the class to do it. To help we resort to the use of diaries where it gather the levels of oral production of the pupils.
o Moreover it will have a register of the writting activities that the students will be done as at home as in the class.
o Reading tests
– Final assessment: it will be advisable when each term will be finish and it will be compulsory at the final of the course. This will be indicating the competence of the student in relation with the four basic skills of the language.
2. Evaluation of our own intervention.
Is important to evaluate all of the aspects that take part in the process and our labour is a main part of this, because of this, it will be evaluated , like this we can introduce the appropiate improvements , changing the behaviours or cambiando los comportamientos or actions that hasn´t favoured the labour and it is going to consolidate those that help us .
We do this at the final of the course through a questionaire where it shows ítems like: interest of the topics explained in class, methodology used by the teacher, activities realized in class that they like a lot.
As a teacher we evaluate us bearing in mind the polite of the planificate objectives in our year program
3. Resources evaluation.
It wouldn´t be important to plan and to organize all of the resources if we didn´t do an evaluation of its resources. When we do the programmate activities we will have to evaluate the materials that we have cosen to do the activity.
We have to think about if the timing has been correct, if we have done a good distribution and using the space o if in the process we find some difficulty in relation to these.
Other analysis aspects are the human resources, if they will be correct or on the other side they have resulted excessive, needs and not apprópiate to the question.
To the border of these aspects of general character, from the didactic of high level we can extract some evaluation criteria adjusted to the progresses that we wish that the pupils are having during all of this second level of the second cycle of Pre primary education.
