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.

English Fourth Grade.

LINGUISTIC STRUCTURES AND ORAL INTERACTION.

  • Objetivo: Aplicar estructuras gramaticales básicas y fórmulas de cortesía en contextos de comunicación funcional para fortalecer la fluidez y la competencia pragmática en la lengua extranjera.

 

  • Concepto: La formalización del lenguaje permite al estudiante comprender que el idioma sigue reglas lógicas de construcción. Al dominar fórmulas de interacción y comandos técnicos, se transita de una repetición mecánica a una producción consciente, sentando las bases de la precisión comunicativa.

Actividad: Entenderemos que el inglés nos permite conectar con diferentes personas según el momento. Realizaremos el taller «The Social Mirror», donde compararemos cómo saludar a un científico espacial frente a cómo saludar a un amigo en una fiesta. En nuestro cuaderno, crearemos un mapa visual para elegir siempre la «llave» (formal o informal) correcta para abrir una conversación.

Actividad: Nos convertiremos en expertos siguiendo instrucciones de alta precisión. Aprenderemos que palabras como Underline (subrayar) o Highlight (resaltar) son herramientas para organizar nuestra mente. Diseñaremos un manual ilustrado que será nuestra guía de navegación para todas las clases del año.

Fecha: 16 de febrero del 2026

Actividad: Desarrollaremos nuestra «visión de águila» para describir el mundo. Analizaremos objetos comunes y les daremos vida en inglés usando adjetivos calificativos. En el cuaderno, crearemos una matriz técnica donde cada sustantivo encuentre su pareja ideal (el adjetivo) para describirlo con exactitud.

Fecha: 18 de febrero del 2026

Actividad: Aprenderemos el arte de preguntar para descubrir la verdad. Usando las estructuras What, How y Can, cuestionaremos las normas de nuestra aula para entender el «por qué» de las cosas. Registraremos estas fórmulas como herramientas de investigación para obtener respuestas claras y técnicas.

Fecha: 23 de febrero del 2026

Actividad: ¡Día de simulación! Actuaremos situaciones de la vida real donde debemos resolver retos hablando con cortesía y elegancia. Al final, escribiremos una síntesis de nuestros protocolos favoritos, celebrando que ahora sabemos cómo movernos con seguridad en cualquier conversación formal.
