PRÓLOGO

Las teorías que establecen la proficiencia cognoscitiva y académica del idioma y las que afirman
que el aprender un segundo idioma requiere de la modificación de los parámetros del primer
idioma, junto a las teorías que reconocen la influencia del ambiente y enfatizan la importancia
del contexto para promulgar el aprendizaje y entendimiento del idioma, son las que han hecho
posible la transformación de los los marcos conceptuales para la enseñanza del inglés como
segundo idioma.
Las teorías socio-pedagógicas reconocen que el aula escolar es el ambiente social más
relevante para el estudiante. La interacción social que surge en el ambiente académico natural
del aula es esencial para
que los estudiantes intercambien conocimientos e interactúen en su idioma. Es en el aula
escolar donde los estudiantes pasan la mayor parte de su tiempo haciendo lo que se espera de
ellos: "aprender".
El aprendizaje significativo de los estudiantes depende en gran parte del conocimiento previo.
El esquema mental previo es la base para el procesamiento y el entendimiento (Rummelhart,
1980) del nuevo conocimiento. Durante el proceso de aprendizaje de conceptos de
una materia dada el estudiante utiliza los esquemas desarrollados en aprendizajes anteriores
para construir nuevos esquemas mentales o ampliar los ya existentes. Esto podría considerarse
cierto tanto en el aprendizaje del contenido de las materias como en el aprendizaje del idioma.
En el caso de un estudiante que ingresa en el nivel preescolar, el conocimiento previo depende
de las bases sentadas en el hogar. Respecto a los estudiantes en otros niveles escolares el
conocimiento previo representa sus experiencias adquiridas a través de las actividades
educativas que incluyen contenido, destrezas de las materias, de pensamiento y del idioma.

El estudiante que aprende, tanto un idioma como una materia académica, necesita una
representación mental de la relación entre su conocimiento previo y los atributos del
conocimiento que va a adquirir. Durante el proceso de aprendizaje, los estudiantes necesitan
tanto esquemas apropiados del idioma como de las materias académicas. Estos esquemas
representan la base del aprendizaje. El aprendiz de un segundo idioma necesita activar el
"esquema" apropiado para incorporar el nuevo conocimiento. Si asumimos que el estudiante
trae consigo el esquema apropiado corremos el riesgo de encontrar que el esquema del idioma,
del ambiente o de la cultura del estudiante o la falta de éstos interfiera con el entendimiento de
la materia. Asumir que el estudiante tiene un conocimiento básico previo de la materia puede
resultar en otro tipo de interferencia con el aprendizaje. El proceso de interpretación de la
materia, del idioma o de ambos puede ser interrumpido por la falta de esquemas apropiados.
Los procesos de recordar la información necesaria, de organizar las ideas, de interpretar, de
hacer inferencias, de identificar y de aplicar conceptos pueden ser interrumpidos a causa de la
falta de esquemas apropiados.

2
Estas teorías con bases cognoscitivas también asumen que el entendimiento de la materia
requiere un dominio básico del idioma.
Cuando el estudiante no posee las destrezas básicas del idioma, la instrucción debe proveer
los estímulos requeridos para el entendimiento a través del contexto. El contexto de enseñanza
debe incluir actividades que incorporen esquemas que provean estímulos académicos,
lingüísticos, culturales y sociales apropiados y que sean adecuados para la edad y el desarrollo
físico y mental del estudiante.
La enseñanza de un segundo idioma require el desarrollo de actividades basadas en
experiencias concretas que activen los esquemas de conocimiento de las materias de estudio
y del idioma para promulgar tanto la adquisición del segundo idioma como el aprendizaje de
conceptos de ciencia . En otras palabras,
este enfoque multidisciplinario requiere la integración sistemática de las actividades para la
enzeñanza del inglés como segundo idioma con actividades concretas.

PRESENTACIÓN

Tal vez la razón fundamental para estudiar inglés es porque es fundamental en nuestro
desempeño académico y laboral. Nuestras oportunidades laborales se multiplicarán en cuanto
dominemos el idioma. Tanto en áreas gubernamentales como en empresas multinacionales, en
este caso específicamente en el desempeño de la labor policial además de otros campos de
trabajo, el inglés te aportará siempre ventajas comunicativas en diversas situaciones. Asimismo
conocer un idioma permite incrementar nuestro bagaje cultural, ampliar nuevos horizontes y
acceder a otras fuentes de información.

El curso de Inglés en este II semestre está destinado a desarrollar y consolidar el dominio del
Inglés Básico en sus cuatro habilidades listening, speaking, writing y reading tanto en
estructura y funcionamiento. La asignatura de Inglés es de naturaleza teórico-práctico, permite
que el estudiante pueda comunicarse desde un principio. El curso tiene como objetivo general
comprender y producir mensajes orales y escritos a un nivel básico de Inglés

En el silabo desarrollado de Inglés, se consideran los diversos contenidos teórico – prácticos


con la finalidad de desarrollar las capacidades y desempeños de los estudiantes de la EESTP-
PNP/Arequipa en aprendizajes significativos y aplicables a su trabajo policial, llevando a la
práctica sus destrezas imaginativas y creadoras, con valores morales de libertad, tolerancia,
respeto y justicia para lograr cumplir las misión policial establecida.

Una de estas exigencias es que los ciudadanos debemos ser competentes en el idioma Inglés
pues el conocimiento de este idioma permite mejorar la calidad de vida. Podemos afirmar que
se trata de la lengua del mundo actual, una gran lengua internacional. Comunicarse en Inglés
hoy es una necesidad más, quien no domina esta lengua está en clara desventaja. El idioma
Inglés se ha convertido en el idioma global de comunicación por excelencia, uno de los de mayor
uso en el mundo es por eso que los estudiantes de la EESTP- PNP deben asumir una actitud
favorable para su aprendizaje.

METODOLOGIA:
Esta nueva propuesta se sustenta en los enfoques metodológicos de la enseñanza del idioma
Inglés:

A. Enfoque comunicativo.- Busca desarrollar la competencia comunicativa, la cual


se sustenta en un conjunto de procesos y conocimientos lingüísticos, discursivos,
socioculturales y estratégicos que el hablante-oyente de una lengua pone en juego
para producir o comprender discursos adecuados a la situación y el contexto de
comunicación.

B. Enfoque centrado en la acción.- Adoptado por el Marco Común Europeo de


Referencia para las Lenguas. Considera a los usuarios y estudiantes como
miembros de una sociedad, que deben realizar tareas de manera individual o
grupal, empleando sus competencias específicas para obtener un resultado
concreto en un determinado contexto.

C. Enfoque intercultural.- Adoptado en contextos europeos en un marco curricular


coherente entre lengua y cultura, centrado en el aprendizaje de inglés como
lengua extranjera, con conceptos como actitud intercultural, habilidad de
interpretar, relacionar, descubrir, interactuar, y conciencia crítica cultural.

D. Enfoque neurocientífico.- Se basa en los estudios sobre la forma cómo el


cerebro adquiere lenguaje, y según los cuales se configura como un proceso
automático subconsciente, por lo que adquirir cualquier lengua sigue un proceso
similar al de adquirir la lengua materna. Al respecto, Knowles, en su teoría
“Reconocimiento jerárquico y recurrente – RHR”, sostiene que el cerebro
reconoce patrones para agrupar y procesar los inputs de lenguaje en fragmentos
cada vez mayores, lo que constituye la base para lograr la fluidez oral de una
lengua y las competencias de comunicación. La secuencia de aprendizaje es:
familiarización – reconocimiento – comprensión – práctica – dominio – revisión –
automaticidad.

The Football Game


Yesterday my brother and I went to see a football game. We watched our two favourite
teams, the Eagles and the Hawks. It was the second week of the season and the day
was much colder than the week before. We arrived at the stadium at 11:30 am, which
is a little earlier than usual. We were excited because I love the Hawks and he loves
the Eagles.
The seats were good, but I wanted something closer to the field. However, we sat and
enjoyed the game. Well, we
enjoyed it until we started arguing. My brother and I both think our team is better than
the other team. He always says to me that the Eagles are faster, stronger, and smarter
than the Hawks. I never agree. On this day, he was wrong. The Hawks played a lot
better than the Eagles. They looked stronger and tougher than the Eagles. The won by
15 points.

One thing I didn’t like was that the food and drinks were much more expensive than
other places, and tasted much worse. I was surprised that a hot dog cost $7, which is
more expensive than the $3 I pay outside the stadium. Also, the hot dog was smaller
than normal hot dogs. So I was a little sad about my meal, but I planned to get
something tastier after the game.

Driving home I talked about how much better my team was than the Eagles. My brother
was getting angry, and I noticed he was driving a lot faster than usual. We were lucky
he didn’t crash. Finally he saw a police car so he started to drive slower. We arrived
home around 7:00 pm, which is later than normal. Usually we get home at about 6:00
pm.

Overall, it was a great day. I love going to the game with my brother. Even though we
argue, I wouldn’t want to watch the game with anyone else!

1. Who won the game?

Eagles Hawks

2. How much did a hot dog cost?

$4 $3 $7

3. What time did they arrive home?

1:30 pm 6:00 pm 7:00 pm

4. What is the brother’s favourite team?


Eagles Hawks

night for the town's people who come to watch.

Another performer is Clara. She says she has the longest hair in the world.
It's about 4 meters long! She also has a daughter who works in the circus. Her
name is Sue-Ellen. Her hair is a lot shorter, but she wants to grow it as long
as her mother's. Sue-Ellen helps look after the animals and she's also learning
how to juggle.

The highlight of the circus are the three clowns, Pit, Pot and Pat. They all wear
long red shoes, but Pat's shoes are the longest and sometimes, he falls over
because they're so long! They perform for about twenty minutes and they are
always the most popular act with the audience, especially the children. Many
people think Pit, Pot and Pat are three brothers, but Pat is older than the other
two - he's their father! He's the oldest clown in the country, but he has a lot of
energy.

Tomorrow will be the longest day because the circus is leaving town, and
everything must be packed away into big trucks.

UNIT 8: HOW GOOD IS YOUR VOCABULARY?

WORK IN PAIRS TO ROLE- PLAY THE FOLLOWING DIALOGUE

INDEFINITE PRONOUNS
We use indefinite pronouns to refer to people or things without saying exactly
who or what they are. We use pronouns ending in -body or -one for people,
and pronouns ending in -thing for things:
Everybody enjoyed the concert.
I opened the door but there was no one at home.
It was a very clear day. We could see everything.
We use a singular verb after an indefinite pronoun:
Everybody loves Sally.
Everything was ready for the party.
When we refer back to an indefinite pronoun we normally use a plural
pronoun:
Everybody enjoyed the concert. They stood up and clapped.
I will tell somebody that dinner is ready. They have been waiting a long
time.
We can add -'s to an indefinite pronoun to make a possessive.
They were staying in somebody’s house.
Is this anybody’s coat?
We use indefinite pronouns with no- as the subject in negative clauses (not
pronouns with any.)
Anybody didn’t come >> Nobody came.
We do not use another negative in a clause with nobody, no one or nothing:
Nobody came.
Nothing happened.
We use else after indefinite pronouns to refer to people or things in addition
to the ones we already mentioned.
All the family came, but no one else.
If Michael can’t come we’ll ask somebody else.
So that's eggs, peas and chips. Do you want anything else?

AFFIRMATIVE
In affirmative sentences, indefinite pronouns using some are used to describe an
indefinite quantity, the indefinite pronouns with every are used to describe a
complete quantity, and the pronouns with no are used to describe an absence.
Examples:
Everyone is sleeping in my bed.
No one is sleeping in my bed.
He saw something in the garden.

NEGATIVE SENTENCES
Negative sentences can only be formed with the indefinite pronouns that
include any.
Examples:
I don't have anything to eat.
She didn't go anywhere last week.
I can't find anyone to come with me.

QUESTIONS
Indefinite pronouns with every, some, and any can be used to form questions
These questions can usually be answered with a "yes" or a "no"
Examples:
Is there anything to eat?
Did you go anywhere last night?
Is everyone here?

Martial Arts

The martial arts consist of a series of hand-to-hand


unarmed combat tactics. The most popular are
karate, judo, jujitsu, and kung fu. Many experts
believe kung fu does not belong in the category of
unarmed self-defense because it can become a
killer art in its most violent form.

Chinese jujitsu and its offshoot, judo, are


thousands of years old. They began in China and
Japan. During the Middle Ages in Japan, common
people were not allowed to carry weapons. They
devised a self-defense technique that involved a series of holds, trips,
strangles, and falls. By the 1700's, judo and jujitsu were no longer required for
self-defense, but these sports survived stressing grace, physical discipline,
and spiritual concentration.

Jigaro Kano, a Japanese man, founded the first judo school in 1882. He
introduced the system of "belts," with a white belt for a novice and a black belt
for an expert. This system has been extended to karate as well. Judo came
to America in 1902.

Karate was introduced in an Okinawa school in 1905. By the year 1922, it


had spread to Japan, and eventually was practiced worldwide. Today, the
World Union of Karatedo (Karate) Organization sets the rules governing the
use of striking, punching, and kicking on various parts of the body. Matches
last from two to three minutes and points are scored for blows to the neck,
face, kidneys, and midsection of an opponent. The blows are not actually
landed: if they were, they could disable or even kill.

FIRST CONDITIONAL

It's used to talk about things which might happen in the future. Of course, we
can't know what will happen in the future, but this describes possible things,
which could easily come true.

The first conditional has the present simple after 'if', then the future simple in
the other clause:

IF + PRESENT SIMPLE, ... WILL + INFINITIVE

Examples:

 If it rains, I won't go to the park.


 If I study today, I'll go to the party tonight.
 If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes.
 She'll be late if the train is delayed.
