Sugerencias para el docente

Una vez haya realizado la Prueba de Diagnóstico y detectado las debilidades de sus estudiantesen el área, seleccione las actividades que se presentan a continuación, con el fin de reforzar sushabilidades.

1 Buscar palabras de varias categorías en sopas de letras. Los estudiantes deben clasificar las palabrasencontradas en la categoría correspondiente.

2 Recortar avisos de diferentes fuentes como envases de comestibles, revistas, periódicos, medicamentos,etc. Hacer afiches en los cuales los clasifiquen.

3 Diseñar avisos para una situación o un producto dado.

4 Relacionar palabras con sus definiciones: para ello, prepare tantas tiras de papel como estudiantes hayaen su clase; en la mitad de ellas, escriba palabras y en la otra mitad, las definiciones correspondientes.Divida la clase en dos grupos. Entregue las palabras a un grupo y al otro, las definiciones. Cada estudiantedebe encontrar, en menos de tres minutos, a la persona que tiene la palabra o definición que lecorresponda.

5 Realizar juegos de mímica: un estudiante representa una palabra por medio de gestos y el grupo debeadivinar de qué objeto se trata.

6 Sostener una conversación escrita con un compañero: se asigna un tema y los estudiantes, por parejaso por tríos, deben escribir preguntas y respuestas.

7 Completar textos: fotocopiar un diálogo del texto guía (Best Choice, Champions, etc.) al que previamentese le hayan borrado algunas palabras o expresiones. Los estudiantes deben completarlo.

8 Completar textos con base en definiciones dadas: prepare un texto en el que falten algunas palabras.Los estudiantes trabajan en parejas; uno de ellos lee las definiciones de las palabras que faltan, el otroescribe la palabra que corresponda a la definición dada y completa el texto.

9 Adivinar palabras con base en pistas: un estudiante se sienta frente a la clase, de espaldas al tablero.A continuación, el docente escribe una palabra en el tablero y el estudiante elegido debe adivinar lapalabra, mientras el resto de la clase le da pistas, como por ejemplo: está hecho de…, se usa para…,es lo mismo que…, es el opuesto de…, etc.

10 Clasificar expresiones según la función del lenguaje: prepare tiras de papel con diferentes expresiones,por ejemplo, I am Anna, Let’s go dancing, Yes, please, It’s big and black. En una cartulina, dibuje una tablacon suficientes columnas para escribir algunas de las funciones del lenguaje que se han estudiado, porejemplo, dar información personal, sugerir un programa para el fin de semana, aceptar una invitacióno un ofrecimiento, describir un objeto. Los estudiantes deben pegar las tiras que contienen lasexpresiones en las columnas que les correspondan.

11 Escribir diálogos: en el lado izquierdo del tablero escriba una serie de lugares específicos propios de lavida cotidiana, por ejemplo, en el colegio, la dentistería, el aeropuerto, el restaurante, etc. Al ladoderecho, dibuje un rectángulo y escriba dentro de él: regalo, problema, invitación. En parejas, losestudiantes deben seleccionar una situación y una de las palabras del rectángulo y, de acuerdo con ellas,escribir un diálogo.

12 Jugar STOP por parejas o por equipos. Dividir una hoja en tres columnas, si se juega por parejas, o eltablero, si se juega en equipos. En el encabezado de cada columna escribir, en su orden, Nombres,Cosas, Animales. A continuación, el docente dice una letra del alfabeto y, en un minuto, los estudiantesdeben escribir una palabra que corresponda a cada categoría y que comience con esa letra.

13 Construir oraciones con base en expresiones dadas: en el lado izquierdo del tablero, escriba variosverbos, por ejemplo, watch, play, have, go, y en el lado derecho, expresiones como a drink, to themovies, the soccer game, computer games. Los estudiantes deben escribir oraciones en las cualescombinen las palabras y expresiones de ambos lados del tablero.
