This repository contains two lesson plans designed for teaching English as a foreign language, focusing on the development of communicative skills at CEFR levels A1 and A2. The first, a didactic unit titled “Daily Routines. Exploring Lives Through Reading”, promotes reading comprehension through short texts about daily routines, integrating basic vocabulary, the present simple tense, and adverbs of frequency with visual support and interactive activities. The second, a lesson titled “A Trip to the Past”, strengthens oral production through the use of the past simple tense in meaningful contexts such as interviews and personal stories. Both plans incorporate scaffolding strategies, formative assessment, and digital resources, fostering dynamic, contextualized, and student centered instruction.

Throughout the process of designing and implementing pedagogical strategies focused on learning English as a foreign language, the teacher's role emerges as that of an active mediator who adapts, guides, and transforms educational experiences according to the needs of the context. In an environment marked by diverse levels, modalities, and learning styles, the teacher is no longer a mere transmitter of knowledge but a designer of meaningful experiences, a facilitator of linguistic development, and a promoter of critical thinking and learner autonomy. This role requires pedagogical sensitivity, didactic expertise, and the ability to integrate technological resources in a coherent and purposeful way. The experiences designed demonstrate how careful planning, the selection of active methodologies, and the strategic use of ICT not only strengthen students’ communicative competencies but also foster participation, motivation, and confidence. In this sense, the teacher plays a transformative role: building bridges between content, technology, and students' realities to ensure that learning English is accessible, contextualized, and meaningful in any educational setting.
