INTRODUCTION

The Language Centre, which belongs to the University of Nariño, has designed a set of courses

to assist the population in Nariño to develop the different skills and sub- skills in order to promote

their communicative competence in the target language and become effective users of the

language. In this regard, the Language Centre courses have been developed according to the

Common European Framework to help learners to achieve a B2 level at the end of the courses.

Moreover, the syllabus of each course aims to improve the necessary skills which are intended to

encourage learners to be more autonomous thanks to the use of a blended environment in which

students can practice and reinforce their target language knowledge.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is intended to provide learners with comprehensive focus on grammar, vocabulary,

functions and pronunciation. Instead on basis lessons on invented people in imaginary situations,

it is presented target language in real contexts and authentic texts. It is believed that the richest

“source of meaning” in a new language input is carefully controlled: what each student brings into

the classroom –their thoughts, ideas, opinions experiences and feelings. American Inside Out

Evolution aims to maximize exposure to high-frequency language appropriate to this level.

Students are encouraged to notice new grammar and new vocabulary in contexts where the

meaning is clear. They are then given opportunities to manipulate the new language and try it out

in different situations. They discover why using one particular form rather than another one

actually matters: not just because it is right or wrong, but because it does or does not

communicate a meaning successfully. The emphasis is always on what students can do with the

language rather than what they know about the language. The new language is systematically

reviewed and recycled until finally the students feel confident enough to use it to make their own

meanings. Also, students will be able to have laboratory classes to practice listening and they will

have the opportunity to have their book and audios on line using their personal code access

which will be found in each book. Also, they will have the opportunity to practice with different

exercises through some classes in order to be ready to present the KET (Key English Test) test at

the end of the course.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

To develop communicative skills through the use of authentic materials so that learners can use

the language meaningfully in order to use it effectively outside the classroom and ensure that the

language our students spend time rehearsing in the classroom is transferable to the real world.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

Students will be able to:

Recognize the presented vocabulary and use it properly.

Spell words adequately.

Use grammar and vocabulary to make meaningful utterances

Read texts and develop textual activities.

Work collaboratively in assigned tasks.

Develop listening skills to tackle different activities.

Speak in class using clear ideas

Describe different kind of situations

METHODOLOGY

This course will be developed communicatively in order to introduce learners to the target

language and start becoming functional in English. In this regard, learners will have the

opportunity to be exposed to authentic materials to motivate and engage them in a meaningful

learning process. Besides, learners will have the chance to work vocabulary using review

games and activities. Moreover, the guided discovery approach will let students scaffold their

learning and therefore, they will be challenged to discover which new forms work best in order

to have a better language understanding. On the other hand, the use of the listening activities

in the laboratory will enhance learner’s listening comprehension.

communicate a meaning successfully. The emphasis is always on what students can do with

the language rather than what they know about the language. The new language is

systematically reviewed and recycled until finally the students feel confident enough to use it to

make their own meanings and communicate in an easy way. Also, students will be able to

have laboratory classes to practice listening and they will have the opportunity to have their

book and audios on line using their personal code access which will be found in each book.

Also, they will have the opportunity to practice with different exercises through some classes in

order to be ready to present the KET (Key English Test) test.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

Ensure that language our students spend time rehearsing in the classroom is transferable to

the real world developing communicative skills through the use of authentic materials adapted

METHODOLOGY

This course will be developed using a discovery approach where learners will have the opportunity

to discover the language and its functions through examples and varied activities. Moreover, the

exposure of authentic materials will motivate learners to use the target language in different

situations, expressing their ideas written and orally. And finally, the listening activities in the

laboratory will enhance learner’s listening comprehension. Teachers will apply task-based

activities with controlled and free activities but using communicative techniques most of the time.

The students will have a lot of opportunities to use the target language to communicate with each

other by reading and writing, doing comprehension activities, listening activities, descriptions, oral

presentations, sketches, storytelling and situational activities and also develop the activities given

in the workbook.

UNIVERSITY OF NARIÑOLANGUAGE CENTERLEVEL: IIINUMBER OF HOURS: 8 HOURS A WEEK

TOTAL NUMBER OF HOURS PER SEMESTER: 120

COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this course learners will continue with their target language formation improving their

communicative skills. They need to be motivated enough to reinforce the four skills and become

more fluent and accurate. In this regard, the authentic input material will be less modified in order

to maintain interest as well as to introduce learners to the use of idioms and expressions.

Moreover, as in the other levels, learners will have additional support because this course has a

blended component that provides extra exercises that can be developed synchronously or

asynchronously and in this way, learners can practice the language inside and outside the

classroom. Also, students will be able to have laboratory classes to practice listening and they will

have the opportunity to have their book and audios on line using their personal code access which

will be found in each book. Also, they will have the opportunity to practice with different exercises

through some classes in order to be ready to present the KET (Key English Test) test at the end of

the course.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

Improve the communicative skills and provide learners deeper encounters with the target language

in order to develop strategies for copying with incomplete understanding.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES


Develop lifelong learning habits to increase vocabulary.

Learn and apply the language functions according to the situation of speaking and the

audience.

Read texts and develop textual, intertextual and critical activities.

METHODOLOGY

Learners will develop accuracy, fluency in the four skills through the use of more complex and long

authentic materials. Moreover, teachers as facilitators will assist learners to Increase

metacognitive and cognitive strategy development to manage more challenging tasks and the

extended discourse. In this stage, it is necessary to provide several opportunities to review and

practice the vocabulary and recycle the grammar that they find in the course and in this sense,

being able to change from passive knowledge to use the language for different purposes.

Additionally, this course is complemented by a blended component that let students reinforce the

language knowledge with varied exercises.

written exercises, oral presentations, online activities, etc. If a class is missed then, it is the

responsibility of the student to catch up with the missed class and to continue with the regular

learning procedure. If an evaluation is missed the grade will be zero except for those who have

health problems and present a written permission. For that reason, all the tests will be scheduled

in advance so everybody will know when they will be applied.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this course all the four skills and the sub-skills are complemented and reinforced through the

use of different genres of authentic material such as radio programmes, DVD clips, and live

interaction. All these materials have diverse and challenging tasks in order to help students to

learn idioms and collocations to grapple with the depth and breadth of the language. Besides,

more grammatical issues are learned and the old ones are improved to develop automaticity and

keep learners challenged. On the other hand, a full range of listening and speaking exercises are

developed bearing in mind the closeness of the international final test.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

Improve the communicative skills through the acquisition of new vocabulary expressions, phrasal

verbs, idioms, and collocations; and the reinforcement of grammatical structures.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES


Learn collocations and idioms.

Use the language for different communicative purposes.



Write essays, summaries and reviews.

Develop listening comprehension to develop complex tasks.

Give oral presentations.

METHODOLOGY

As teacher works as facilitators they will guide learners to discover which vocabulary and

grammatical forms work best in order to have a better language use and understanding. Through

this process, students could scaffold their learning and improve their communicative competence.

Also, the listening activities in the laboratory will enhance learner’s listening comprehension.

Teachers will apply task-based activities with controlled and free activities but using

communicative techniques most of the time. The students will have a lot of opportunities to use

the target language to communicate with each other by reading and writing, doing

comprehension activities, listening activities, descriptions, oral presentations, sketches,

storytelling and situational activities and also develop the activities given in the workbook.

COURSE MATERIAL

Sue Kay, Vaughan Jones. (2017). American Inside Out Evolution Upper-intermediate. (Units 1-

12). Macmillan Education.


Students will participate in class in different activities such as reading comprehension, role

play, written exercises, oral presentations, jigsaws, debates, online exercises, etc. If a class is

missed then it is the responsibility of the student to catch up with the missed class and to

continue with the regular learning procedure. If an evaluation is missed the grade will be

zero except for those who have health problems and present a written permission, for that

reason all the tests will be scheduled since the beginning of the course in this way everybody

will know when they will be applied.
