DESIGN OF A DIDACTIC SEQUENCE


1. INTRODUCTION TO THE TASK
Your task is to develop a didactic sequence in small groups. This didactic sequence will have to implement the teaching and learning approaches presented throughout the course. The sequence will be your final task for this module and you will present it orally to your classmates on the last day we deal with module 2 in class.

2. GROUPS
From each of the three different seminars (A, B and C), six small groups (of approximately 4 persons each) will be constituted at random during the first module 2 seminar:

Since there are no seminar sessions specifically scheduled for the groups to work on the didactic sequence, you will have to work collaboratively together with your mates to accomplish the different activities this task includes.

3. THE DIDACTIC SEQUENCE
The didactic sequence you have to design will have to implement the teaching and learning approaches presented throughout the course:
- It will have to be task or project based
- It will focus on the receptive, productive and interactive skills
- Assessment will be integrated in the teaching and learning process and will be global and continuous
- Etc.
But apart from this, it will have to meet the following requirements:
- It will consist of a sequence of 3 or 4 sessions of one hour each.
- It will be addressed to Primary school learners of English.
- It can be a sequence both for the subject of English or other non-linguistic subjects. In the latter case the didactic sequence will be CLIL-based.
- The different activities proposed in your didactic sequences will make use of the digital technologies to promote English learning.

5. OBJECTIVES
According to what has been said so far, the objective of this task is:
1. To develop a didactic sequence in small groups that implements the teaching and learning approaches presented throughout the course.
2. To present the didactic sequence you developed to your class mates orally so that different ways of designing a teaching and learning process that considers the approaches dealt with throughout the course can be shared.

6. SOME DIDACTIC SEQUENCE MODELS
Before starting to design your didactic sequence, observe different ones (both formal and content aspects). Here are some interesting links:

7. THE LAST MODULE 2 SESSION
During the last module 2 session you are going to present your didactic sequences orally.

8. EVALUATION CRITERIA
1. The extent to which the didactic sequence considers the teaching and learning approaches presented throughout the course.
2. The extent to which the oral presentation of your didactic unit, and the audio-visual materials you make use of, allow you to share with your classmates different ways of designing a teaching and learning process that considers the approaches dealt with throughout the course.
Note: If the didactic sequence task is not delivered in due time, we will not guarantee its revision.
