The language of the video, the theme and the communicative action will be analysed and worked on throughout the unit, serving as an example and usefulness for the final production of an oral or written text.
- At the beginning, you start by deducing the meaning from the context and creating the language, reconstructing orally and in writing what is collected in the video.
- Next, the teacher's explanation is presented. The explanatory video will highlight and explain the contents to which you should pay more attention and learn, providing more examples and illustrating the following activities.
- You will work on grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary through specific activities. This is a teaching moment for observation and practice of oral and written language. You can do these activities however you want and as many times as you want.
- Subsequently, under the direction of the teacher, you will express yourself orally and in writing, both individually and interacting in a group, carrying out the communicative action that the unit pursues. The teacher will collect and evaluate your production.
- There is an evaluation section at the end of the unit. It will be a single attempt, just like the review units.
