Student: Nataly Muñoz
Teacher: Juan Molina F

2. Introduction
It is important to promote effective learning among students and to achieve that
goal teachers have to use all the resources available. ICT´s have shown to be a
very useful tool when implementing it properly inside the classroom. The objective
of this proposal is to design an English Unit using ICT resources to promote
innovation in second language learning. In this proposal it will be seen: students
‘educational context, objectives and contents that will be covered, methodology
that will be used, resources to be used, activities, classroom settings and a final
reflection of the course.

3. I. Preliminary considerations
Educational context
“Colegio Bicentenario Padre Manuel D`Alzon” is a semi-subsidized school located
in Concepcion, Lota (VIII region of Chile). The school has 6 teachers in the
Language department, 6 teachers in the Math department, 4 teachers in the
History department, 5 teachers in the Science department, 3 teachers in the
Philosophy department, 2 teachers in the Art department, 4 teachers in the English
department and 3 teachers in the Physical Education department. The school has
approximately 700 students. The school has just one level which is high school.
Every class has approximately 30 to 33 students. The school has special
classrooms according to all the different subjects. There are three English
classrooms all of them are fully adequate with proper material according to the
subject. All classrooms provide a safe environment that promotes effective learning
among the students.
Description of the classroom
The classroom has an appropriate size in which the students have enough space
to move around. The students have individual desks. The class is fully decorated
with posters related to the subject. The classroom has a white board, an smart
board, forty five dictionaries for the use of the students and enough hangers for the
students to hang their bags.
Students (age, abilities, cognitive styles, prior knowledge and skills,
experience, attitudes and interests. Refer to the number of students in the
group and gender distribution)
The class consists of 30 students, 14 boys and 16 girls. They are between 12 y 13
years old. 90% of the students are Catholic while the rest 10% are Protestant.
There are twenty seven students who live in Lota, two students live in Coronel and
just one of them lives in Colcura. None of the students have fail the course before.
The total of the students have good health according to their age and weight. Just

4. three of them have problems related to myopia but they use the proper glasses
that fix that problem; also, the three of them are always sitting in first desks in order
to see what the teacher is writing on the board and the data presentations. In a
speaking test students had to present information about their likes and dislikes.
The students ‘interests are very different depending on their gender. On one hand,
Girls love music groups like “One Direction”, “Justin Bieber”, “Selena Gomez”,
“Five Seconds of Summer”, etc; on the other hand, boys love different team sports
specially because of the world cup.
Define the English level you will work with your students
The English level that I will work with my students is the Alte Level 2 (B1).
Alte Level 2 (B1) suggests the following:
For Listening/Speaking:
-The student can express opinions on abstract/cultural matters in a limited way or
offer advice within a known area, and understand instructions or public
announcements.
For reading:
-The student can understand routine information and articles, and the general
meaning of non-routine information within a familiar area.
For writing:
-The student can write letters or make notes on familiar or predictable matters.
II. Objectives and Contents
The objective of the proposal is:
-To promote language learning and the development of language skills in a specific
area of language learning through ICT´s.
Content:

5. -The content of the proposal are comprehension of a narrative text and speaking
expressing ideas about a famous person.
III. Language skills
In the proposal I am promoting the use of ICT in a receptive skill such as reading
and in a productive skill such as speaking.
Content to be covered:
Topic: “Physical appearance”
Concepts: How to describe a person physically
Vocabulary: present simple tense, adjectives used to describe a person (the color
and long of hair, skin complexion, fat, skinny, muscular, ugly, beautiful, etc)
IV. Methodology
First class: First of all a power point presentation will be presented to the class
including famous people that the students know. In order to elicit previous
knowledge that the students know they will describe the famous people that will be
presented. Then, a reading about physical description will be given in order to give
to the students an example of the proper way to describe people.
Second class: The second class will start with a presentation of my favorite famous
person and the description of him. This will give to the students an example of what
to do next. Then, the students will have to create their own presentation choosing
their own favorite famous person using all the information previously shown. The
students will present their power point presentation to the rest of the class
explaining the physical appearance of the famous person chosen. This activity will
be formative.
V. Resources to be used
Describe the ICT (Google resources) to be included in the proposal.

6. Wix.com is a cloud-based development platform that allows users to create
HTML5 websites and mobile sites, through the use of their online drag and drop
tools. Users can add functionalities such as social plug-ins, eCommerce, contact
forms, email marketing, and community forums to their websites using a variety of
Wix-developed and third-party applications. (Wikipedia)
Google docs is a free web-based office suit offered by Google within its Google
Drive service. It allows users to create and edit documents online while
collaborating with other users live Google docs combines the features of Writely
and Spreedsheets with a presentation program. (Wikipedia)
Include the sources for the different materials you are using in the proposal. Why
were these materials chosen? Mention the advantage of working with them.
Wix.com: I used Wix.com as my academic page. The main reason is that wix.com
is so much easier to use in comparison to other sources. Besides, the layout of the
page provides the reader an easy understanding of the information and the pages
that can be created.
Google docs: I used google docs because is a very useful tool that allows the
teacher to check students ‘writing and to provide the proper feedback at the same
time.
Microsoft Word: I used Microsoft Word since is the most common and easy
software to use. Also, students are very familiar with the format.
Microsoft Power Point: I used Microsoft Power Point because, as I said before, is
one of the most common and easy software to use. The students are familiar with
the format and it is a more attractive way for the students to present information.
VI. Activities
The activity is a speaking task where the students have to create a presentation
choosing a famous person and then describing it. First, the students have to
choose the famous person; secondly, they have to describe that person in a written
form using Google docs where I will correct all of them providing feedback to each
student. Finally, when the description they have to say is correct they have to learn
it and show to the class a power point presentation using a lot of images (as a
backup of the physical description they are providing)
Reading task (receptive skill) (summative)

7. Lesson Aim: At the end of the lesson students will be able to comprehend the
physical description of a person by reading.
Situation: First of all students will read a text about famous people and their
physical appearance. The text will describe his/her hair, weight, complexion, etc.
The students will answer all the different activities according to the text given.
Speaking task (productive skill) (formative)
Lesson Aim: At the end of the class students will be able to describe a famous
person physically to the rest of the class, orally.
Situation: (individual work) The students will look at my example in a power point
presentation where I will describe my favorite famous person (it could be an
actor/actress, a singer, one person of a group or band, a football player, etc).
Task: (individual work) According to what I presented the students have to choose
one famous person. After that, they have to describing the person in Google docs
where I will correct them and I will provide the appropriate feedback. Finally, the
students have to create a power point presentation where they have to describe
the person chosen showing a lot of images for the class to know how the famous
person looks.

VII. Classroom setting
Physical space: The classroom is a normal one that has 35 desks facing the
whiteboard and the smart board. The classroom has one computer with connection
to internet in which the students will show their power point presentation one by
one in front of the class. Also, the school has a library.
Time: The task will be realized in school hours. The computer lab will be use to
send the Google docs with the description of the famous person chosen by the
student. The presentation of it will be at school but they have to prepare it at home
(prepare a proper power point presentation and memorize the description)

Final reflexion
What is the importance of including ICT resources in the learning process?
As a personal opinion I really think that implement ICT´s inside the classroom
makes a difference. First of all, when using ICT´s, for example Google docs, we
are promoting be ecological. If we think about it we use so much paper when
teaching that it would be an excellent change to start using online resources
instead of paper that being honest will end on the container trash of our students.
Besides, the use of ICT´s promotes the learning among students. Nowadays
students are very technological, perhaps more technological than the teacher, so
we have to take that as an advantage and use it to prepare our classes in order to
promote effective learning.
Regarding the use of ICT in TEFL: What have you learned in this course?
I have to admit that I learnt a lot in this course. I could notice that all men in the
course already had ideas about ICT´s so it was much easier for them to
understand the course. But most of the girls in the class (including me) were a little
bit lost at the beginning. But finally with my teacher and classmates ‘help I was
able to do everything requested by the course. Now I can make the difference
between software hardware, something that I did not even know that it existed. The
most interesting thing that I learnt to do was to create a webpage which I think it is
very useful specially when creating a formal webpage to introduce ourselves and
our work.
