SCHOOL YEAR 2019 SYLLABUS DISTRIBUTION OF TOPICS AND PLANNING GUIDELINES

SECOND CYCLE

The Council of Education approved the implementation of the new English syllabus to be implemented up from the school year 2017.

For 2019, the implementation will include the First Cycle in elementary school and Third Cycle in high school.

This distribution corresponds to fourth, fifth and sixth grades, which still use the old syllabus.

This distribution is for teachers to carry out the syllabus throughout the periods of the school year. It is intended to be a guide to

consult when teachers design their plans. This document does not replace the syllabus and is not considered a lesson plan.

The teacher; based on the diagnosis, the students´ prior knowledge and whether his students covered the material from last year; will

determine the content he is going to emphasize.

The suggestion, for the material not covered last year, is to consider it with the units that are related. This connection is already

considered in this document. Here you will find the sequence of study blocks, cognitive targets, linguistic objectives and functions per

period. The words in bold correspond to the material from the previous year.

The plans must be designed according to the planning template indicated in the circular DDC-0145-01-2017 “Disposiciones para el

planeamiento didáctico en lenguas extranjeras”(Matriz B)
