Acerca de este curso

Welcome to a very special year! In Fourth Grade, English stops being just a list of words to memorize and becomes a powerful tool for self-expression. This course is designed to help our students move from simply «knowing» English to truly using it to navigate their world with confidence and heart.

What This Adventure is All About

This term, we aren’t just sitting at desks; we are becoming social detectives, time travelers, and independent explorers.

  • Finding Our Voice: We will learn that the way we speak changes depending on who we are talking to. Through our «Social Mirror» activities, the kids will learn the secret to being polite and professional in a library or a meeting, while still knowing how to be fun and casual with their friends. It’s all about building respectful and clear connections.

  • Traveling Through Time: Have you ever wondered how to organize your memories or your dreams? We will learn the «logic of time.» By mastering the past, present, and future, students will gain the confidence to tell stories about their weekend, describe their world today, and—most importantly—dream big about what they will achieve in the future.

  • Reading with Independence: We want our students to feel unstoppable when they open a book. Instead of feeling stuck by a new word, they will learn to be «Context Detectives.» They’ll learn tricks to find meanings without a dictionary, helping them feel proud of their ability to understand complex stories and articles all on their own.

Contenido del curso

First Period
The first academic term of 4th Grade English is designed as a foundational journey that transitions students from basic word recognition to conscious, structured language production. This period focuses on empowering students to navigate different social environments, organize their thoughts through time, and decode information with independence.The curriculum is structured around three core pillars of linguistic development:1. Social & Pragmatic Competence The term begins with Linguistic Structures and Oral Interaction. Students will explore the "Social Mirror," learning to adapt their speech between formal and informal registers. This stage goes beyond simple greetings, focusing on technical classroom commands, polite inquiry, and the use of precise descriptive language. The goal is for students to understand that language is a tool for building respectful and clear social connections.2. Narrative Logic & Temporality In the second phase, Morphosyntax and Verbal Temporality, the focus shifts to the internal logic of the language. Students will master the ability to "travel through time" by differentiating between facts (Present Simple), memories (Past Simple), and projections (Future with Will). By aligning subjects and verbs correctly, students will move from isolated sentences to coherent narratives, gaining the ability to tell stories that are logically and chronologically organized.3. Critical Literacy & Inferred Meaning The term concludes with Lexical Acquisition and Contextual Inference. This pillar is dedicated to fostering "Textual Autonomy." Rather than relying on constant translation, students are trained to use "context clues," word roots, and reading strategies like Scanning and Skimming. This develops the critical thinking skills necessary to process intermediate-level texts and expand their vocabulary through logical deduction rather than rote memorization.

SECOND PERIOD
Unit Overview: 2nd Period – "Moving Through My World" In this second unit, students will expand their horizons by exploring transportation, community roles, and environmental awareness. Moving beyond personal feelings, they will now learn to describe the dynamic "gears" that make their society function.Through an active and kinesthetic approach, children will analyze the speed and utility of different ways to travel, using the Present Continuous and Simple Present (Do/Does) to describe actions happening in real-time and daily habits, such as "The bus is moving through the city" or "Does she wear a raincoat in the rain?"They will also discover the community as a living engine, identifying public places and the professions that inhabit them. By using Prepositions of Place and Movement (Next to, Between, Go straight), students will navigate their own "Interactive Neighborhood Maps" and connect these spaces to their own families' needs and desires, expressing preferences with "I want" and "I like."This period focuses on civic responsibility and critical thinking, encouraging students to compare transportation methods based on their environmental impact and practice values in public spaces. By the end of the unit, students will not only use English to communicate but also to project themselves as active citizens who understand their city, plan family adventures, and value their role within the community.
