Sugerencias para el docente
Una vez haya realizado la Prueba de Diagnóstico y detectado las debilidades de sus estudiantes
en el área, seleccione las actividades que se presentan a continuación, con el fin de reforzar sus
habilidades.
Práctica para
la parte
1
Buscar palabras de varias categorías en sopas de letras. Los estudiantes deben clasificar las palabras
encontradas en la categoría correspondiente.
2
Recortar avisos de diferentes fuentes como envases de comestibles, revistas, periódicos, medicamentos,
etc. Hacer afiches en los cuales los clasifiquen.
1
3
Diseñar avisos para una situación o un producto dado.
1
4
Relacionar palabras con sus definiciones: para ello, prepare tantas tiras de papel como estudiantes haya
en su clase; en la mitad de ellas, escriba palabras y en la otra mitad, las definiciones correspondientes.
Divida la clase en dos grupos. Entregue las palabras a un grupo y al otro, las definiciones. Cada estudiante
debe encontrar, en menos de tres minutos, a la persona que tiene la palabra o definición que le
corresponda.
2
5
Realizar juegos de mímica: un estudiante representa una palabra por medio de gestos y el grupo debe
adivinar de qué objeto se trata.
2
6
Sostener una conversación escrita con un compañero: se asigna un tema y los estudiantes, por parejas
o por tríos, deben escribir preguntas y respuestas.
3
7
Completar textos: fotocopiar un diálogo del texto guía (Best Choice, Champions, etc.) al que previamente
se le hayan borrado algunas palabras o expresiones. Los estudiantes deben completarlo.
3
8
Completar textos con base en definiciones dadas: prepare un texto en el que falten algunas palabras.
Los estudiantes trabajan en parejas; uno de ellos lee las definiciones de las palabras que faltan, el otro
escribe la palabra que corresponda a la definición dada y completa el texto.
6,7
Adivinar palabras con base en pistas: un estudiante se sienta frente a la clase, de espaldas al tablero.
A continuación, el docente escribe una palabra en el tablero y el estudiante elegido debe adivinar la
palabra, mientras el resto de la clase le da pistas, como por ejemplo: está hecho de…, se usa para…,
es lo mismo que…, es el opuesto de…, etc.
6,7
10 Clasificar expresiones según la función del lenguaje: prepare tiras de papel con diferentes expresiones,
por ejemplo, I am Anna, Let’s go dancing, Yes, please, It’s big and black. En una cartulina, dibuje una tabla
con suficientes columnas para escribir algunas de las funciones del lenguaje que se han estudiado, por
ejemplo, dar información personal, sugerir un programa para el fin de semana, aceptar una invitación
o un ofrecimiento, describir un objeto. Los estudiantes deben pegar las tiras que contienen las
expresiones en las columnas que les correspondan.
3,7
11 Escribir diálogos: en el lado izquierdo del tablero escriba una serie de lugares específicos propios de la
vida cotidiana, por ejemplo, en el colegio, la dentistería, el aeropuerto, el restaurante, etc. Al lado
derecho, dibuje un rectángulo y escriba dentro de él: regalo, problema, invitación. En parejas, los
estudiantes deben seleccionar una situación y una de las palabras del rectángulo y, de acuerdo con ellas,
escribir un diálogo.
1,3,5
12 Jugar STOP por parejas o por equipos. Dividir una hoja en tres columnas, si se juega por parejas, o el
tablero, si se juega en equipos. En el encabezado de cada columna escribir, en su orden, Nombres,
Cosas, Animales. A continuación, el docente dice una letra del alfabeto y, en un minuto, los estudiantes
deben escribir una palabra que corresponda a cada categoría y que comience con esa letra.
1,2,4
13 Construir oraciones con base en expresiones dadas: en el lado izquierdo del tablero, escriba varios
verbos, por ejemplo, watch, play, have, go, y en el lado derecho, expresiones como a drink, to the
movies, the soccer game, computer games. Los estudiantes deben escribir oraciones en las cuales
combinen las palabras y expresiones de ambos lados del tablero.
1, 3
14 Relacionar elementos con lugares o situaciones: escriba en un pliego de papel o en el tablero, nombres
de diferentes lugares o situaciones como the beach, a concert, the office, the park, a meeting. Pida a los
estudiantes que recorten de revistas promocionales de almacenes de cadena, imágenes de diferentes
objetos y prendas de vestir, y que los peguen bajo el lugar o situación donde sería apropiado llevar el
objeto o la prenda.

Kite time!
In Colombia, August is a windy month
for us. It’s just right for flying kites. So

festival. It is called Utran. All the people
of the villages go to the top of the roofs
and fly their kites high in the air.
Also people put candles in paper
lanterns; they light them and fly the
lanterns like kites. And they stay up in
the sky all night.

The Animal Doctor
Do you like animals? Many people like to have pets
because they can be our best friend. We can play
with them, but they need us to take care of them,
too. What can you do if your pet is hurt or sick?
If your pet needs a doctor, take it to the animal
doctor. This doctor is a veterinarian; they give our
pets medicine to make them well. They also tell us
what kind of food our pet should eat. Veterinarians
also give pets vitamins to grow strong. People call
them “vets” for short.
These doctors must love all kind of animals. They
have to go to school for a very long time and learn
about every kind of animal. They learn how to make
our pets well.
