1 METHODOLOGY

1.1 Philosophy

Kid’s Box initiates pupils in the pleasure of learning English and allows them to improve their standard continually throughout the six books in the series.

Kid's Box has been designed specifically for schools in Spain, taking the Spanish syllabus into account, and so that the linguistic competences taught are appropriate for the pupils' age groups and their cognitive development.

Th series has been written taking into account the proposals included in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). CEFR objectives are those of the Cambridge English exams: Cambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Young Learners:

Cambridge English: Starters (below A1 level)Cambridge English: Movers (equivalent to A1 level)Cambridge English: Flyers (approximately CEFR A2 level)

The contents of Kid’s Box are those of the Cambridge English exams: Young Learners so each cycle of two levels corresponds with one of the exams. So the material covered in the first two courses is that dealt with in the Starters exam; that in the third and four course, with the Movers exams; in the fifth and sixth course, with the Flyers exam. All levels include examples of the type of activities used in the exams.

At the end of each unit in the Activity Book there is a page for practising one of the parts of the Cambridge English exams: Young Learners. These pages have been designed to reproduce the format of the real exams, but have also been carefully graded to use language which the pupils already know.

All six levels contribute to developing the pupils' skills in four areas (oral comprehension, oral production, reading and writing) while, cognitively, it presents them with a challenge and helps them to feel a real sense of progress in their learning. This point is particularly important because one of the keys to this teaching method is personal experience.

As Plutarch reminds us, “The mind is not a recipient to be filled up but, rather, a fire to be lit”. Kid’s Box is based on this idea of learning. As pupils learn most when they are interested and paying attention, one of the features of Kid’s Box is the continual use of attractive materials and entertaining activities which keep pupils mentally and physically involved and encourage them to understand the language by themselves.

The first six sessions present new language structures, including a chant, a song, an illustrated story (a picture story) with matching activities. Odd number units have two additional lessons for introducing and developing cross-curricular material (CCM) and developing and encouraging inter cultural consciousness and values.


The second volume of Kid’s Box has features specifically prepared for Spanish pupils; school book italic font is used throughout the Pupil's Book, Activity Book, My Home Booklet, Language Portfolio, posters and the word cards for levels 1 and 2. The course also take the specific needs of centres with bilingual projects into account, for example by making greater use of grammar contents and practising them more.

1.2 What does Kid’s Box offer?

The Kid’s Box materials have been prepared with the aim of awakening pupils' interest and enthusiasm using the following strategies: humour from the characters and in the comics. One of the main principles when creating Kid’s Box was to make the most stimulating course possible for the youngest pupils. For primary eduction pupils, motivation is crucial in order for the language to be properly retained. We have tried to include some humour in the presentations and, in particularly, the the comics at the end of each unit. These comics are designed for revising what the pupils have studied and to encourage them to study more due to their interest in following the characters' adventures. They also motivate and act as 'prizes' at the end of each unit.

Creativity and learning through actions and activities. Drawing, colouring in, ‘make and do’, songs, games and chants are all activities which, at first sight, may arouse suspicion and seem to be of limited teaching value for learning acquisition. However, these types of activity are an integral part of the learning process, allowing pupils to be creative and they contribute to pupils retaining what they have learned in an efficient way.

They connect the outside world with the classroom in such a way that pupils learn about the world around them at the same time as they learn English. This helps them to understand that English is more than just a school subject and to see ways in which English can be used as a means for learning other things too.

Discovering and developing pupils' autonomy to help them become able to learn in an efficient way and continue with their learning process. Pupils are encouraged to learn things by themselves. Kid’s Box includes self-correcting activities, revision vocabulary lists and other activities for developing pupils' autonomy. The series encourages this approach in order to enable pupils to later on be able to investigate things outside the classroom independently.

Encouraging tolerance and respect. Helping pupils to value cultural diversity, respect differences and develop human values. Respecting and protecting the environment is closely connected with respecting other people, and this is made apparent throughout Kid’s Box.

The teacher takes on the role of tutor and facilitator for learning using pair and group activities as well as role plays. This type of communication activities give pupils the chance to work independently, without the teacher. During this type of activities, the teacher is a tutor and facilitator, staying in the margins and only supervising and intervening as necessary.

Practical tasks such as songs, games, chants, activities in pairs, etc, related to pupils' surroundings. To make language learning a satisfying experience, pupils need activities which are contextualised and relevant to their surroundings. Kid's Box offers numerous opportunities to practice the language actively. It is only through repetitive


practice that pupils can develop skills, reflect and comprehend. When all is said and done, you learn to swim in the water…

In fact, there is a double page in each unit for Foreign Language Contents Integrated Learning (FLCIL). These lessons aim to put language learning in context and also help to learn other subjects. They perfectly complement other areas of the syllabus which the pupils are studying, in this way helping them to consolidate their general learning. This means that pupils are motivated by the interesting subjects which encourage their learning. Care has be taken to grade language levels so that the lessons which combine contents and language are easy to carry out and also efficient and entertaining. Pupils' various abilities are also taken into account in order to guarantee absolutely all pupils' participation.

One of the reasons integrated learning offers such good results is that English is increasingly not just another subject: it is also the language in which other subjects such as Natural and Social Sciences are taught. This change means that pupils are exposed to the new language and can start to use it in a natural way at the same time as The pupils acquire non-linguistic knowledge.

Consistent with the whole method, CLIL lessons take into account the needs of different types of learning: logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, musical, interpersonal and movement (body kinaesthetic) intelligence as well as linguistics, which are all taken into account when teaching English as a language.

1.3 Course Skills

In each of the six levels in Kid’s Box there is a Pupil's Book (with My Home Booklet) and an Activities Book (with stickers, CD-ROM & Language Portfolio) for the pupils and the teacher: Class Audio CDs, Teacher's Book, Resources Pack for the teacher with and Audio CD, posters and Digital Box for digital boards. Levels 1 to 4 also have flashcards and word cards. There is a Tests CD-ROM (with Audio CD) for the teacher for every two levels.

The Pupil's Book has 96 pages in full colour divided into eight units and an introductory unit. After every two units there is a revision section, called 'Review', which offers attractive, stimulating material for revising vocabulary and grammatical structures learned in the previous two units. The comics at the end of each unit star the detectives Lock and Key.

At the end of each unit there is a page of cross-curricular contents (CLIL).

At the end of the Pupil's Book there is a double page for studying the values in each pair of units, a pronunciation section called "Say it with me", four festivals and a grammar reference section.

The Pupil's Book also includes My Home Booklet, with 32 pages for pupils to revise the contents and skills worked on at home with their parents.

The Activities Book provides 96 pages to enable pupils to practise new vocabulary and reinforce their understanding.

The Activity Book also has eight pages of practical activities for Cambridge English: Young Learners exams (Movers), as well as a grammar reference section.


El Activity Book comes with a CD-ROM designed to bring out the learning experience using dynamic games for practising the main vocabulary and structures in each unit and which encourage pupils to reflect on pronunciation and oral oral comprehension.

Pupils have a Language Portfolio online which, in line with MRE instructions, encourages pupils to evaluate their own work and records the progress of each pupil throughout primary education.

The audio CDs contain all the necessary listening material for the Pupil's Book and the Activity Book, including the songs and picture stories. Songs are available in sung and karaoke versions.

The Teacher's Resources Pack offers a wide range of activities in order to offer varied solutions, as well as back-up and extra material activities for each unit. The free audio CD also includes extra YLE exams with listening material. Likewise, the word cards are used for reinforcing new vocabulary.

The Teacher's Book offers teaching steps for each lesson as well as the transcriptions of the recordings in all the listening activities and the answers for all the activities, an overall view of the syllabus in each level, extra activities, photocopiable pages and evaluation activities.

The interactive DVD includes animated versions of the comics, animated songs, documentary videos, interactive games and quizzes.

2 OBJECTIVES

3 KEY COMPETENCES

3.1 Introduction

In line with the European Parliament and Council's Recommendation 2006/962/EC, 18th December 2006, about key competences for continually learning, Decree 126/2014, 28th February, establishes a basic syllabus for Primary Education based on promoting learning by competences integrated in syllabus items.

These competences are taken to be "know-how" in the context of any academic, social or professional context. Learning using competences encourages learning and motivates learning as overall procedures for learning about each subject are acquired.

Pupils have to develop Key competences throughout their compulsory education, in both primary and secondary levels. These skills help them to fulfil their potential, to become active citizens, become successful in their adult lives and enable them to enjoying continual learning.

Each and every part of the syllabus encourages the acquisition and development of these skills. Because of this, working on certain areas makes it possible to reach these objectives. They are not limited to particular subjects or levels. Some of the indispensable factors for achieving success include: the way in which centres are organised and managed; the style of teaching; the way in which key parts and players in the educational community interact; the availability of extra-curricular and complementary activities.

LOMCE uses the definitions of key competences established by the European Union2.

LC - Linguistic CommunicationMSCT- Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology.DC - Digital SkillsLL - Learning to LearnSCS - Social and Civic Competences.SIE - Sense of Initiative and EntrepreneurshipCCE - Cultural Conscience and Expressions

Connections between contents, skills and assessment criteria are described in Order ECD/65/2015.

Kid’s Box complies with the laws and instructions given by the authorities with regards to education. The general approach is based on the acquisition of practical knowledge. The objective is to enable pupils to develop thanks to continual learning.

The great variety of activities included in Kid’s Box help to integrate the learning of a foreign language with other parts of the syllabus. The programme is also designed to help with the overall development of the seven skills.

2 European Parliament and Council recommendations for key competences for continual learning, 18th December 2006 (2006/962/CE)


3.2 Contribution de Kid’s Box to the acquisition of Key competences

Learning a foreign language leads to acquiring Key competences in the same way that studying other subjects does. This acquisition process is equally intense throughout the different levels which make up the education system which pupils follow.

Kid’s Box contributes efficiently and systematically to acquiring each of the Key competences and does so within a communicative framework which guarantees that pupils become competent in English. This communicative approach is followed throughout the six levels in primary education.

Kid’s Box's teaching objectives and the choice of contents have been selected in order to guarantee the development and acquisition of these Key competences.

Linguistic skill is based on the use of English as the vehicular language for oral and written communication.

Developing this skill by studying a foreign language leads to pupils improving their skills to express themselves orally and in writing. They develop this skill by using the appropriate linguistic register and discourse in each situation that they find themselves in.

Pupils' linguistic skills improve as they recognise and gradually master the rules in the foreign language. To ask for help, they can use their own language and reflect on the process of learning the new language.

The activities in Kid’s Box allow pupils to acquire and develop the four skills (oral oral comprehension, written comprehension, oral expression and written expression), continually reinforcing the language with the underlying grammatical rules for learning English.

Mathematical skill is connected with the ability to reason. This involves making judgements and reaching conclusions by solving problems and using logic in a coherent manner. It is also important to use mathematical concepts in everyday life.

In order to acquire this skill, pupils must know and use the numerical system and its symbols. They must be familiar with different ways of expressing and finding solutions in numerical terms, while linguistic skills enable them to reason, develop explanations, form hypotheses and make use of deductive and inductive arguments, etc.

The activities in Kid’s Box are often connected with mathematical processes. Pupils are presented with tasks involving reasoning and logic, including mathematical tasks, both orally and in writing. In this way the course helps them to develop and improve this skill.

Basic competences in science and technology involve being able to understand events and phenomena. This involves making predictions based on what has been heard or read about in connection with dietary habits, health and the environment, and being responsible consumers in daily life.

Kid’s Box offers a wide range of oral and written texts with clear, detailed contents about these subjects, in this way encouraging pupils to understand events and


phenomena and predict their consequences. Pupils improve their skills in English at the same time as they acquire this knowledge.

To be able to deal with this information and acquire digital skills pupils must know how to read, analyse and transmit the information they extract from all types of texts in English. They must be able to choose and organise the information which they hear and read. At the same time, this skill is directly connected with the integration of multimedia resources in the learning process.

Thanks to the interactive DVD and the CD-ROM, Kid’s Box help pupils to become more competent in their use of digital technology. There are also texts in which the handling of information plays a crucial role, without this undermining other skills.

Learning to learn concentrates pupils' attention on what is expected of them in order to learn English. Memory and self-evaluation skills are also dealt with. Both of these skills are needed in all learning processes in which pupils form hypotheses about language, using the wide variety of examples from real life which are introduced in the text.

Kid’s Box challenges pupils to get involved in an active way in the learning process when dealing with linguistic contents. Linguistic roles are taught in a subtle way so that pupils make their own deductions and hypotheses in a natural way, basing themselves on the principles of "universal grammar" which are intrinsic to acquiring a language.

Furthermore, thanks to the European Portfolio, the course involves a continual process of self-evaluation which, at the same time, reinforces the basic skill of Learning to learn. Throughout the learning process, Kid’s Box continually encourages pupils to take part in cooperative learning, another pillar of learning to learn and, in this way, English becomes an tool for thinking about, interpreting and representing reality.

Social and civic skills consists of discovering and becoming familiar with the different social and cultural bases which underlie the English language. Likewise, respect and other values are reinforced by pair and group work.

Kid’s Box teaches about cultural values - always teaching in English - not only from British society and customs but also from other English-speaking countries such as Australia and the States. Respect and values are encouraged in a society which is continually evolving, in which cultural diversity stands out as one of the principles for the 21st Century. The contents of Kid’s Box complement work carried out in the education system to reinforce these values and, in this way, helps pupils to acquire social and civic skills.

Sense of initiative and entrepreneurial spirit means being able to approach the learning process in an autonomous way or, otherwise, in cooperation with others in order to carry out whichever task is put forward.

Kid’s Box encourages pupils to work autonomously, praising their sense of responsibility and self-knowledge as well as their creativity and imagination. Furthermore, as evaluation is closely connected with being critical and value judgements which can be made individually or in groups, respect and understanding (towards themselves and towards classmates) are also encouraged.


Pupils take part in activities which allow them to reinforce their enterprising spirit and business sense using creativity, autonomy, initiative, team work, self-confidence and critical awareness.

Self discovery and development are to be found behind Cultural consciousness and expression. This skill develops the ability to understand and evaluate cultural and artistic manifestations in a critical way. As with social and civic skills, these skills reinforce human values.

Kid’s Box methodological approach is interactive and it is not only communication in English which is crucial: English is also the vehicular language used to give information about other cultures and societies and their values. This also helps teachers to make wider educational values become effective at their centres. Throughout the course, a wide variety of cultural and artistic themes are dealt with using a series of activities.

In order to encourage basic cultural and social skills, Kid’s Box offers activities connected with the English-speaking world in which culture and art play an important part.

The main objective of Kid’s Box is the acquisition of English and its culture. The language is used as a tool for making coherent value judgements about anything expressed in English either orally or in writing. Thanks to the wide range of activities offered in Kid’s Box, the acquisition of Key competences in guaranteed.

3.3 Key competences in Kid’s Box

Key competences are comprehensively developed throughout the twelve units and in revision. They are to be found in the Units of teaching development section. (See Section 5.5).

This document specifies a series of descriptors for acquiring and evaluating each of the competences, bearing in mind pupils of the age group's cognitive development and skills and in connection with the characteristics of the material in this course.

The programme for each unit specifies the ACTIVITIES to be carried out and the enable the measurement of the level of achievement of these DESCRIPTORS.

The competence descriptors we have set for this subject are:

Linguistic communicationListen

Plan and check your work to be able to present it properly.

Each unit's programme also includes connections between the unit's CONTENTS, ASSESSMENT CRITERIA AND COMPETENCES.

In the annex at the end of each document there is an EVALUATION FORM ABOUT COMPETENCES which includes the different descriptors set for acquiring the competences in each subject and school year.

The teacher can use this form to evaluate the competences and descriptors for each unit or whenever appropriate throughout the school year.

3.4 Multiple Intelligences

In 1983 US psychologist Howard Gardner developed the Theory of Multiple Intelligences 3 in which he stated that all humans have eight different types of intelligence which we use throughout life. Each individual develops them to greater or lesser degrees depending on their genetics and external stimuli. During the learning process the teacher must take all of them into account in order to make sure that the pupils can acquire knowledge using their own, personal skills.

The resources used in Kid’s Box allow pupils to develop their communication skills in a natural way; in all units the seven Key competences are worked on in order for their minds to work in a complete manner. These seven skills are the basis for different multiple intelligences. The activities in Kid’s Box have been prepared with the objective of stimulating different types of intelligence, so there is always something of interest for every pupil.

3 Gardner, H. (1994): Estructuras of the mente: the teoría of the inteligencias múltiples, (Colombia, Fondo de Cultura Económica) and Gardner, H. (2001): La inteligencia reformulada: the teoría of the inteligencias múltiples en the siglo XXI, (Barcelona, Paidós).


Linguistic intelligence, sensitivity towards written and spoken words and the ability to learn languages, is a key part of Kid’s Box and it is combined with other intelligences.

Interpersonal intelligence- efficient communication with others - is a crucial factor in learning languages. Communication activities contribute to developing interpersonal skills and encourage pupils to work together and carry on developing communication strategies.

Interpersonal intelligence, expressing intimate thoughts and feelings, is an integral part of the learning process and is developed in each unit in Kid’s Box, in this way enabling pupils to be more aware of themselves and the world around them.

Kid’s Box deals with Musical intelligence in every unit, appreciation for rhythm and music through songs, chants and raps. As Howard Gardner points out, this intelligence works almost in parallel with linguistic intelligence.

When working with primary education pupils it is also very important to develop the body and mind together, which means that movement (body kinaesthetic) intelligence, coordination and connection with the whole body, is also taken into account.

There is a series of activities for developing logical-mathematical intelligence. These activities help to develop logical thought and problem solving.

Visual-spatial intelligence, expression and understanding through the visual world, is one of the keys to learning. Pupils are highly aware of the world around them and often think in terms of drawings and pictures. The attractive presentation of pictures in Kid’s Box helps pupils to be more creative and stimulates their imagination.

Lastly, Naturalist intelligence, the ability to interact with the natural world around us, is fundamental for pupils' integral learning. In Kid's Box there are many observation activities about natural surroundings and reflections about our place in the world.

The eight multiple intelligences can be identified or associated with the Key competences. With regards to technological information and skills, Kid’s Box comes with an interactive DVD and a CD-ROM in which pupils have access to various resources for practising what they have learned in each unit, which also helps them to develop autonomous learning.

As well the Key competences, in each unit in Kid’s Box different social and cultural factors are examined, attitudes and cross-curricular subjects being looked at using various types of activities. As part of values education, various areas are examined throughout the book: Moral and civic education, Health education, Peace education, Equality education, Consumer education, Classroom collaborative work. In this way pupils are taught to just to learn the language but also to value and respect other cultures, which contributes to their development as human beings.

English is also connected with other syllabus areas such as mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, artistic education, music and technology. This is because all


the activities are designed not just to teach language but also to achieve other objectives.

4.2 Core contents When evaluating, it is essential to establish minimum contents. These contents will be a point of reference for the teacher and pupils when evaluating their progress in the process of learning and be the basis for different types of evaluation. Mastering these contents, which are backed up by different evaluation tools, confirms pupils' progress and explains their positive results (at the end of the academic year or at the end of the evaluation).

(See Section 4.1, Content blocks, in this teaching programme)

5 LEARNING STANDARDS AND RESULTS

In order to grade the performance or achievement of each pupil during Primary Education the syllabus sets criteria for evaluation. These specifications are called learning standards and enable definition of the results of learning and are based on what pupils should know and know what to do in each subject.

Learning standards must be observable, measurable and possible to evaluate and, along with Assessment criteria, must be used to evaluate competences and objectives in continual evaluations and at the end of each subject. Because of this, syllabus learning standards are set for the whole of Primary Education.

As can be seen in the way learning standards are phrased, The pupils are closely connected with the development of linguistic competence, in such a way that The pupils can be used to check the specific standard of achievement or degree of realisation of objectives during each school year.

In this way the connection between evaluation standards and competences is this subject and school year is set as follows for this programme:

6 EVALUATION

6.1 Presentation

The process of teaching and learning is incomplete if the process in itself is not valued and the results are not measured. Evaluation is necessary in order to check to what extent the foreseen objectives have been achieved and, consequently, adapt the educational process to pupils' needs and characteristics. Evaluation must provide information about what pupils have learned and how they have learned. Thanks to evaluation, we can determine what help each pupil needs in order to guarantee progress.

Although all components of educational systems must be evaluated and can be improved, at present we will assume that the main objective of evaluation is pupils' academic progress.

As well as considering the progress of the group as a whole, it is indispensable to follow individual pupil's progress taking into account different forms and rhythms of learning in order to know exactly what teaching intervention each pupil needs.

Clearly, evaluation is usually carried out by the teacher. However, bearing in mind the fact that our approach aims to involve pupils in their own learning, it is reasonable that they, too, should be involved in the evaluation process. What the pupils say about how they see their own learning must be taken into account: the difficulties they find in the process and, especially, their tastes and preferences with regards to how to learn English.

Evaluation is needed throughout the stages of learning:

At the beginning of the process, the starting point must be evaluated (what pupils already know, what they do not and what they know imperfectly). This evaluation allows us to anticipate problems and adapt the teaching programme. This can be done at the start of the academic year, the term or even at the start of each unit.

During the process, evaluation helps the teacher to take decisions about areas where more work is needed, about extending, removing or reinforcing contents about about whether the programme should be altered in any way.

At the end of each educational stage, evaluation allows the teacher to see if the the results of the teaching-learning process match the objectives.

Evaluation can be simply the result of the teacher's observations during class or be based on the painstaking collection of data about progress in learning and possible difficulties.

It is important, in each case, to choose the type of evaluation which best fits the specific situation and the different facets of the teaching-learning process which you


wish to improve. If the objective is to improve pupils' oral comprehension, the teach will suggest activities which allow him/her to check their abilities in that skill and their progress, the difficulties they encounter and how they overcome those difficulties. If the teacher wishes to improve motivation, he/she must look at the interest which pupils show for different activities, how much they participate, etc. So it is worth having a variety of resources available in order to evaluate the educational process in such a way that the most appropriate ones can be chosen in line with the evaluation objectives.


Assessment criteria can be defined as reference norms which establish the type of learning and also the extent to which each pupil can be expected to acquire knowledge and skill.

These criteria allow us to establish and evaluate pupils' progress appropriately, both individually and a a group. The materials in Kid’s Box are in line with the following Assessment criteria and legislation about primary education:


- Identifying the gist, the essential information and main points in very short oral texts with standard language, simple structures and frequently used vocabulary, enunciated with clarity and slowly, read live or using technical resources, about specific, usual subjects connected with personal experiences, needs and interests in predictable daily contexts or connected with areas of immediate need in the personal, public or educational areas, with good acoustic conditions and no distortion of the message, with the possibility of listening to the message again or asking for confirmation and with visual support or a clear visual context reference.

- Knowing and using the most appropriate basic strategies for general comprehension of the text's essential information or main points.

- Identifying basic, meaningful social and cultural features about daily life, interpersonal relationships, behaviour and social conventions andmaking use of the knowledge acquired about them to understand the text correctly.

- Distinguishing between the main communicative function or functions of the text and a limited repertoire of their most usual features, as well as basic patterns of expression.

- Recognising the most common meanings associated with basic syntax structures in oral communication.

- Recognising a limited repertoire of oral vocabulary often used in everyday situations and usual, specific subjects connected with needs and interests and using the context indicators and the information in the text to form an idea about the probable meanings of unfamiliar words and expressions.


- Distinguishing between sound patterns, accents, rhythms and basic intonation and recognising general communicative meanings and intentions connected with them.


- Taking part in a simple, comprehensible way in short conversations which involve a direct exchange of information in areas of immediate need or about familiar subjects using a neutral, informal register, using simple phases or expressions of frequent use, which are normally used separately or linking them with basic connectors, even though the pronunciation may not always be clear, although there may be pauses and hesitations and repetition may be required, as well as paraphrasing and the interlocutor's cooperation in order to keep communication going.

- Knowing and being able to use basic strategies in order to produce oral texts about single subjects or very short, simple dialogues.

- Knowing specific and meaningful basic sociocultural and sociolinguistic aspects, applying knowledge about them when speaking in the same context, respecting the most basic communicative conventions.

- Comply with the text's main communicative function, using a limited repertoire of its most frequent features and basic communication patterns.

- Using basic syntax structures (eg. linking words and groups of words with basic connectors such as "and", "then", "but" and "because") although still making basic mistakes habitually.

- Knowing and using a much used, limited oral repertoire in daily situations about usual, specific subjects connected with interests, experiences and needs.

- Using, in a general comprehensible manner, albeit obviously influenced by mother tongue or other languages, a very limited repertoire of basic sound, accent, rhythmic and intonation patterns, adapting them to the communicative task desired.

- Making yourself understood in short, simple speech, although initial hesitation and faltering are apparent, as are repetitions and pauses to organise, correct and better express what you want to say.

- Interact in a very basic way, using very simple techniques, both language and non-verbal at first, to hold or conclude a conversation.


- Identifying the subject, the gist, the main ideas and specific information in very short, simple texts, in standard language, with often used vocabulary, in which the subject and the type of text are highly familiar, dealing with everyday subjects or matters of immediate need, with the possibility of re-reading if you have not understood it, using a dictionary and with visual and context support.


- Knowingand knowing how to use the most appropriate strategies to understand the gist, essential information or the text's main points.

- Identifying specific and meaningful sociocultural and sociolinguistic aspects about daily life, living conditions, personal relationships and social conventions, and apply the knowledge used to understand the text correctly.

- Distinguishing the text's communication function or functions and a limited repertoire from its most usual features, as well as basic communication patterns.

- Recognising the basic syntax structures associated with the main principles of written communication.

- Recognising a limited repertoire of frequently used vocabulary about very day situations and usual, specific subjects connected with your experiences, needs and interests, and inferring the probably meanings of words and expressions from the context and other information in the text.

- Recognising basic punctuation marks, as well as frequently used symbols, and identifying the meanings and general communicative purpose of each one.


- Write very short, simple texts made up of simple, independent sentences, in a neutral register, in a reasonably correct way in terms of basic punctuation, to speak about yourself, your immediate surroundings and things from your daily life in predictable, familiar situations.

- Knowing and applying basic strategies for producing very simple, short written texts.

- Knowing basic, specific and meaningful sociocultural and sociolinguistic aspects and applying this knowledge to write a context appropriate text.

- Comply with the written text's main communicative function using a limited repertoire of the most frequently used features and communication patterns.

- Using basic syntax structures, although still making basic mistakes habitually.

- Knowing and using frequent written vocabulary about daily situations and usual, specific subjects connected with your interests, experiences and needs.

- Using chart patterns and basic punctuation conventions to write words and short sentences which are often used in speech reasonably correctly, although not necessarily completely correctly.

As we stated in the previous section, both Assessment criteria and their application - learning standards - must be items in terms of objective achievement and each stage's competences.


Furthermore, for specific evaluation of the degree of achievement in terms of these criteria in the THIRD and FORTH SCHOOL YEAR of Primary Education, the teacher may use the descriptors listed in section 3 (Competences) and 5 (Learning Standards) and in this programme's Didactic Units Development.

6.3 Evaluation in Kid’s Box

With pupils of this age, it is best to use continual evaluation, following their progress in the classroom and using that information when teaching. Continual evaluation is based on the teacher following the pupils' progress and using the knowledge acquired in that way to direct them, which makes the pupils' role even more active: they learn the guidelines which the teacher gives them and also their own following of them.

Pupils neither develop at the same rate nor learn in the same way, so each pupil must be evaluated individually and not compared with classmates. The objective must be based on each pupil's progress and development.

As well as their progress in English, pupils' social and emotional development must be evaluated and observed. The teacher must praise pupils' progress and work in pairs and as a group as well as giving them instructions about how to make progress with their English.

The following Assessment criteria are in line with legal requirements and the teaching materials offering in Kid’s Box and are taken to be important, necessary areas for evaluation.

1. Oral comprehension. The aim is to check pupils' ability to understand the gist of short oral messages, given in ideal communication conditions, in other words, direct communication situations with helpful contexts.

2. Understanding specific messages. The aim is to check the ability to understand not only the gist but also specific details, which have been previously pointed out, from simple oral and written texts which are familiar to the pupils, although they may not fully understand some other parts of the message.

3. Producing messages. The teacher evaluates pupils' ability to express themselves orally in everyday situations. The comprehensibility of the message is particularly evaluated, excusing possible pronunciation mistakes which do not affect understanding.

4. Pronunciation. The aim is to check have assimilated the English phonetic system: its phonemes, rhythm and intonations, whether they can use it in comprehension and for producing simple messages in already familiar contexts.

5. Taking in new vocabulary. With this criteria the aim is to evaluate the ability to understand and use vocabulary appropriately and expressions which have been learned. Vocabulary assimilation is always checked in situations with a context and close the the pupils' own experience.

6. Class participation. By observing pupils' behaviour the teacher evaluates if they participate constructively in communication situations in class, respecting norms which enable the exchange of informations.


7. Collaborative work. This, too, is evaluated by observing pupils' behaviour, seeing whether they take part in a constructive way in group activities, collaborating in a harmonious learning process in the classroom.

8. Individual work. By observing pupils' behaviour, their individual work is evaluated with regards to correct contents, care taken with presentations and timely completion of tasks.

9. Interest in learning. The aim is to check that pupils are interested in advancing in their learning and curious to learn new things, if they pay attention in class, ask questions and ask about their doubts.

10. Respect for others. There is an evaluation of whether pupils respect their classmates and teachers, listen to them without interrupting them, respecting turns to speak and appreciating others' ideas and opinions.

11. Interest in finding out about other cultures. There is an evaluation of whether pupils are interested in finding out about culture in English-speaking countries, if they pay attention when such subjects are talked about and if they ask questions in order to widen their knowledge.

12. Using polite forms. The aim is to observe in order to check that pupils use the polite forms in English that they learn and include them in normal class routine.

In order to have an overall appreciation of the whole of the class, the teacher may draw up a double-entry table with a vertical list of the pupils and, horizontally, the numbers for Assessment criteria. By marking the boxes using a colour code which shows to what extent objectives have been achieved (for example, green for good, blue for acceptable, red for insufficient), the group's progress can be seen at a simple glance.

Discipline also forms part of any good evaluation. By channelling pupils' innate energy in the right direction, the teacher can avoid rebelliousness and discipline problems. Many problems of this type arise when pupils get bored, when the level is beneath them or when activities are too repetitive. Kid’s Box has been designed to take into account the very diverse needs and desires of different pupils and, thanks to this, it includes a wide variety of activities for them to enjoy.

However, it is important for the teacher to mark the rules with regards to discipline in the classroom, making sure that pupils know what is and what is not acceptable, and treating all pupils alike. If clear, fair discipline parameters are established, a 'safe' atmosphere will be created in the classroom and pupils will study freely and with confidence.

In order to keep the interest of the smallest pupils, the teacher must find a balance between their limitless energy and short span of concentration in order to avoid boredom, restlessness and lack of motivation, things which lead to discipline problems.

6.4 Evaluation tools in Kid’s Box

The photocopiable evaluation pages in Kid’s Box 3 & 4 (Teacher's Book) have been designed for use at the end of each section or Review every four units. These


evaluation pages have similar exercises to the Cambridge YLE Tests (Movers), and evaluate four skills (oral comprehension, oral production, reading and writing).

The teacher must tell the pupils that they are going to do an activity which will be evaluated, but that they should not worry unduly about that. It is important that they do the activity feeling relaxed and optimistic, feeling confident that they can do it. Pupils must be given ten minutes for each evaluation and all instructions must be given in English.

While they do the evaluation, the teacher supervises and encourages them. Once the teacher has corrected the evaluation sheet, he/she shows his/her reactions to each pupil's work by colouring in the stars at the end of the page and drawing a smiley. It is important to always focus on what they know and have done rather than on what they do not know how to do.

The more practice pupils have with different types of activities and they more familiar they are with the exam format, the easier they will find YLE Movers once they have finished Kid’s Box 3 and 4.

7 INDIVIDUAL NEEDS

It is clear that politicians and teachers are more worried about pupils who have learning difficulties than about more able pupils who, if they are not motivated or if they are not given more difficult tasks to carry out, can end up getting bored in class. This is one of the many challenges which people working in education face.

Taking this into account, it is worth pointing out that Kid’s Box addresses this diversity in its programme, structure and contents. As we have mentioned earlier, the Kid’s Box programme is flexible. It offers points to be taken into account and general suggestions to help teachers to adapt the programme to their own context: the centre, their classroom and each pupil.

The contents of Kid’s Box, which have been carefully chosen, are attractively presented in a stimulating way in order to deal with diversity. The course has a cyclical structure which allows pupils to widen their knowledge starting from what they already know and acquire more knowledge about cultural issues and new, more complex linguistic subjects. At the same time, the complex evaluation process includes general criteria which must be prepared and adapted for each group, setting specific objectives depending on the context of each centre, teacher and class. Teachers have different tools of evaluation and skills as well as specific tasks. It is also necessary to set minimum contents according to the needs, abilities and rhythm at which the pupils learn.

In fact, in order to take care of specific needs successfully, the activities, materials and resources available in Kid’s Box must be taken into account. The vast majority of these activities can be used in personalised ways and are open so that each pupil can respond in a different way depending on his/her ability.

The Activities Book concentrates of each unit's key contents. These activities can be used both with pupils who need extra help and with more able pupils who finish the


initial task early. Each pupil will need a different amount of time which will depend, to a greater or lesser extent, on his/her motivation. Most of the activities are designed for use in the classroom, but they can also be given as homework. As can be seen on the table further on, the same material and/or resources can be used to reinforce the class or widen knowledge; in other words, the objective can be changes as fits. For example, a simple question about a story card can be reinforcement for less advanced pupils and can also serve as inspiration in an extension activity in which pupils are asked to say other words in the same semantic area.

The teacher should take advantage of pupils' abilities in every way that arises. One pupil may hate speaking but enjoying writing vocabulary on the board, while another may be good at drawing or making posters.

Another crucial factor is the methodology used by the teacher with his/her own group and, more specifically, with pupils with learning difficulties. The most important thing with all types of task is to make sure that they have been correctly prepared beforehand, pupils knowing all the words they are going to need and understanding the activity's objectives. If pupils are given the right linguistic tools in order to carry out the activity successfully, it is almost certain that they will find it sufficiently demanding and interesting. Without the necessary preparation, pupils may have an experience of negative learning, which will lead to them losing confidence and feeling frustrated with an activity which demands a degree of skill which they do not have.

Before starting an activity, give a demonstration. For pair work, choose a pupil to help you. Then bring two pupils out and ask them to demonstrate the activity to the class.

Try to walk around the class as you explain and do the activities, walk between the pupils. This will help give the pupils confidence and also make you more accessible to them. Movement in the classroom helps keep the pupils' attention and makes the class livelier and more dynamic.

As well as the teacher moving around being positive, you can do the same thing with the layout of the tables and chairs in the classroom. Less advanced pupils can sit next to more able ones to collaborate in the group dynamic; separate pupils who may create difficulties. In pair work, less advanced pupils will be helped by more advanced ones; pupils tend to help each other. Whenever possible, ask pupils to turn their chairs towards the next table or two in order to create an atmosphere for debate and written work.

As has been said previously, evaluation and stimulae are crucial for primary education pupils, and this is even more true for pupils with learning difficulties. When doing an activity, try to guide them towards finding the right answers rather than giving them to them. This will lead to pupils feeling satisfied when they find the right answer. Whenever a pupil makes a mistake, emphasise that making mistakes is part of the learning process and that they should not be ashamed of making mistakes.

The extra activities in each lesson can be used whenever pupils need to practise particular vocabulary. The same activities can be used to extend more advanced pupils' knowledge, although, in some cases, the instructions may have to be changed a little. In the Teacher's Resources Pack there are also two extension sheets and two reinforcement pages for each unit as well as a work sheet for the songs, if you wish to continue to use them.


Remember that continual revision is another important part of the learning process and that it is particularly helpful for pupils with special needs, as well as for the rest of the group. Kid’s Box is based on a system of continual revision, with different games and techniques for revising the vocabulary learned in each unit and each block of four units.

The Teacher's Resources Pack with the interactive DVD and the European Portfolio offer further material (work sheets, photocopiable pages, vocabulary cards word cards and activities for festivities) to help teachers deal with the different specific needs in the classroom.
