Abstract

The present research work entitled, “CURRICULAR PLANNING AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOUR BASIC LINGUISTIC SKILLS OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE WITH THE STUDENTS OF 8TH, 9TH AND 10TH YEAR OF BASIC EDUCATION AT “BERNARDO VALDIVIESO” HIGH SCHOOL MORNING SECTION. ACADEMIC PERIOD 2009-2010”, has been developed with the purpose of knowing if the meso and microplanning are elaborated considering the development of the English basic linguistic skills. One of the methods used during the development of the present research work was the scientific method, which helped us to find the true about the researched object. But we have also used the descriptive, analytical-synthetic and explicative methods and they have served to develop every part of the research process.

To collect the data inside the researching process we have used the survey as the main instrument that was applied to the teachers and students in order to determine how the curricular planning affects the development of the English basic linguistic skills. The main results of the research show that the teachers elaborate the didactic unit plan but it is not made considering the development of the English language basic skills neither they cover the units planned in the school year. We also found that the teachers do not plan the lesson and they have trouble to recognize the elements and the stages of it. They do not plan specific techniques to work on receptive and productive skills, which is reflected on students’ learning in the English language subject that is placed in a regular level. Therefore we have been able to determine that the curricular planning affects the development of the English basic linguistic skills in the students of the researched HighmSchool.
