This week we looked at our classmates' portfolios and answered the quizzes they created for Challenge number 2. It was an amazing experience since we saw different ways in which our classmates decided to portrait the same tasks as us. We were all asked to do the same, but still, every portfolio is unique and it shows a little bit about who we are, and what we understand about teaching.

What's the role of writing?

First Question

We chose this question because it is very implied what is the role of this skill in the curriculum.

It actually depends on what part of the curriculum we are looking at. In general, the writing skill, as you can see on page 271, is supposed to provide comunication towards other people. The role is fully related with the communicative approach of the language. It also manifates the importance of writing in a creative envorment, so students can express themselves when writing.

If we are thinking on the first year of English Education (which is "quinto basico") in the chilean curriculum, we can see that this skill has three main objectives. The first one is related to writing about literal and non literal texts in different ways. The second one has to do with making different functions towars the language, as making correct grammar and lexical structures. The third objective is related with writing using different useful tools.

Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor in hendrerit in vulputate velit esse molestie consequat, vel illum dolore eu feugiat

Which level (from (Common European Framework, CEFR), are students expected to achieve by year 8th?

Second Question

We chose this question because it is quite specified the level that students have to achive, and it means.

In the program of eight grade of chilean education, it is stablish that students should aquire a A2 level of proficienty in English.

This means that students should be able to understand sentences and frequently-used expressions related to the areas of experience most immediately relevant to them. They can communicate in simple, everyday tasks requiring no more than a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters. Finally, they should be able todescribe in simple terms aspects of their past, environment and matters related to their immediate needs.

Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor in hendrerit in vulputate velit esse molestie consequat, vel illum dolore eu feugiat

How is the curriculum organised?

Third Question

We chose this question because it is interesting to think how the curriculum is organized and why.

The curriculum is organized in a very interesting way, First of all, we have what "Learning English" means. Then, it shows what are the main objectives of each English Skills, starting with listening, and then reading, speaking, and writing. It does not explain the reason why it is orginsed in that way. It makes much more sense if it started with the input skilss, such as reading and listening, and the iwth the output skills which are speaking and wrting, but that's the way is done. Right after that, there are the attitudeswhich has to be achieved during the subjects such as curiosity, respect, and perseverance. Finally, it shows the references used when writing the curriculum.Then, the two different courses are shown with their own dedicated pages each. They both show what the main obectives are related with the four previous skills.

Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor in hendrerit in vulputate velit esse molestie consequat, vel illum dolore eu feugiat

What are the four key attitudes that need to be integrated into teaching English?

Fourth Question

We chose this question because it is important to take into account what attitudes can be integrated into the School Curriculum.

There are different attitudes already integrated in the English curriculum, but we belive there should be several more, so we create a person who can communicate in English, but in a respetful way.

1. Proactive Attitude. We found this very important due to the fact that creating a proactive student will help making them realize that they can learn by their own, so then, when they are not in English classes, can do learn themselves.

2. Acceptance. This value is something we should encorage in all subjects, because in that way, they would understand the importance of being aceptable towards other people's opinions.

3. Self-Love.This is a relevant attitude that students should encorage. It important to love other people, but it is more important to understand and love themselves.

4. Integration.Students should be taught to integrate other people in different enviroments, so they can accept other peers, but at the same time, allowing them to talk and express in their conversations.
