5/26


A travs de trabajo de clase, tanto en grupo como individual, as como en trabajocomplementario y de refuerzo y el de laboratorio a realizarse dentro y fuera del aula declase, se pretende que el estudiante adquiera, y/o aprenda estructuras de comunicacin

tanto en lenguaje hablado como escrito, teniendo como orientador y facilitador al profesor.De esta manera avanzar progresivamente hacia el reconocimiento, comprensin,anlisis de la estructura, funcin e interrelacin de las proposiciones que escuche o lea, yque le habilite para producir comunicacin al hablar y escribir en los mismos y otrostrminos de estructura, funcin e interrelacin de ideas o proposiciones.

El profesor, a travs de sus explicaciones, ejercitacin con el material didctico, uso delos recursos y estrategias, asignacin de trabajos y su respectiva revisin y tutoras guiaral alumno en la obtencin de las estrategias de aprendizaje que le permitan recordar,analizar, adquirir y aplicar las mismas a situaciones acadmicas y laborales semireales yreales, de modo que as pueda establecer la relacin del estudio de este idioma connuestro entorno y deteccin de los valores implcitos en las situaciones presentadas.

El estudiante, por su parte, aplicar las estrategias de aprendizaje para dar respuesta apreguntas y ejercicios de comprensin con el objeto de iniciarse en la comunicacinefectiva a nivel socio-tcnico-cientfico en ingles y en la internalizacin de los valoresinducidos por los contextos.

El material de estudio seleccionado para la asignatura consiste en la Gua de Estudio delcurso y el Workbook de revisin y consolidacin de las unidades, en las que losestudiantes, con la ayuda del profesor, podrn afianzar los conocimientos adquiridosdurante el desarrollo de los contenidos previos estudiados en la clase.

ENFOQUES EN LA ENSEANZA Y APRENDIZAJE DEL IDIOMA INGLS

El proceso de enseanza y aprendizaje en los cursos de ingls est dirigido a desarrollarhabilidades comunicativas del estudiante en esta lengua, basando por lo tanto el procesoeducativo en el Enfoque Comunicativo, el cual enfatiza la habilidad del aprendiz parausar el idioma en forma apropiada en situaciones especificas. El enfoque comunicativopresta considerable importancia a las funciones del idioma y a ayudar a los estudiantes adesarrollar competencias comunicativas en el mismo. De esta forma, el enfoquecomunicativo tiene como objetivo principal interrelacionar las funciones del idioma con eluso correcto de las estructuras, es decir, combinar la fluidez comunicativa con el usocorrecto de las formas. Se pretende de esta forma que el estudiante practique y produzca

los conocimientos adquiridos en la clase por medio de actividades o tareas ( tasks)comunicativas propuestas que involucren una participacin activa de los estudiantes entres, como por ejemplo, role-plays, information-gap, problem-solving, social exchanges,decision-making, etc.

Las actividades propuestas en el saln de clase pretenden a su vez impulsar el enfoquepedaggico del aprendizaje cooperativo (Kagan, 1992, 1994, 2000) (CooperativeLearning), donde el docente aplica conocimientos, tcnicas y estrategias de enseanza yaprendizaje con el fin de ampliar su campo de accin dentro el saln de clase para elevarla motivacin y la participacin de los alumnos. De este modo, los estudiantes aprendena ser cooperativos para promover su propio aprendizaje y el de sus compaeros. Elenfoque cooperativo est basado en la creacin, anlisis y la aplicacin sistemtica de


6/26


estructuraso formas de contenido libre para organizar la interaccin social en el saln declase. Las estructuras usualmente involucran una serie de pasos, los cuales implican uncomportamiento preestablecido en cada uno de ellos. Las estructuras de definen como los

recursos que permiten al docente adaptar cualquier experiencia curricularcooperativamente en el saln de clase, siendo adaptables a los contenidos de losprogramas educativos permitiendo el desarrollo de habilidades cognitivas, afectivas ysociales para el logro de los objetivos propuestos.

Las actividades de clase, se construyen por lo tanto, ubicando el contenido programticoen un tipo o tipos de estructura. Las estructuras pueden ser, por ejemplo, las diversastcnicas que el docente usar para involucrar a los estudiantes en un aprendizajecooperativo: brainstorming, flashcard game, simultaneous interaction, team discussion,team projects, timed-pair share, etc. Estas estructuras estn enmarcadas en propsitosdiferentes como la creacin de la construccin de equipos (teambuilding), la construccinde socializacin entre el grupo de estudiantes (classbuilding), el dominio de los contenidos

(mastery), el desarrollo de habilidades de pensamiento (thinking skills), el desarrollo dehabilidades comunicativas (communication skills) y el intercambio de informacin(information sharing) entre los estudiantes. El enfoque cooperativo enfatiza la interaccinde los estudiantes en clase en forma simultnea.

El aprendizaje cooperativo implementa el principio de simultaneidad lo cual ayuda aaumentar la produccin de lenguaje en el estudiante. La enseanza cooperativa, se basapor lo tanto, en cuatro principios esenciales: interdependencia positiva (positiveinterdependence), reconocimiento individual (individual accountability), igual participacin(equal participation) e interaccin simultnea (simultaneous interaction). Estos principiosse integraran simultneamente por medio de las estructuras presentadas para que elenfoque cooperativo realmente cumpla su cometido, permitir resultados de aprendizaje

exitosos a los aprendices de una segunda lengua.
