Abstract

The present research work entitled THE CURRICULAR PLANNING AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BASIC LINGUISTIC SKILLS OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AT “MANUEL BENJAMÍN CARRIÓN” HIGH SCHOOL. ACADEMIC PERIOD 2010-2011., has been developed with the purpose of knowing if the macro, 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 has 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 annual plan and the didactic unit planning for a school year but it is not socialized with the students neither it includes the four basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing as a relevant aspect of the planning. Teachers do not plan for each lesson they just plan weekly based on grammar points rather than on the linguistic skills and for this reason they do not detail techniques to work on the skills; consequently the students’ competences in the language are not very good.

As a result 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 High School.
