Abstract

The present research has been developed to determine how the curricular Planning affects the development of the four basic linguistic skills of the English language with students of the 8th, 9th and 10th years of basic education at Daniel Álvarez Burneo High School, Academic Year 2010-2011. This research is very important because it shows us that the planning is a support for the teaching-learning process in which: authorities, parents, teachers and students should participate.

To develop the research at Daniel Alvarez Burneo high school, we have focused on the elaboration of Didactic Unit Plan (Meso-Planning) and Lesson Plan (Micro-Planning) based on the four skills, for this we have applied different methods such as: Descriptive, Analytic-Synthetic and Explicative. All these methods helped us to apply the instrument of a survey like field work to teachers and students formulated to get specific information about the planning process in tables which is represented in graphics and discussed the problems about meso and micro-planning, so it was possible to accept or to reject the hypotheses through an explicative and descriptive analysis.

The main result of the research shows that the teachers develop the Didactic Unit Plan, but it does not consider the development of the English language basic skills. And we also found that the teachers do not develop the lesson plan before their classes. Neither do they include specific techniques to develop language skills: This was contrasted in the information obtained through High School Department of planning and it is reflected in the teaching learning process with the students.

As a result of the interpretation and logical analysis of the information we have established conclusions based on curriculum planning, didactic unit plan and lesson plan which were developed from the interpretation of the results and the logical analysis of the information in the review of the literature. Finally, we have proposed some recommendations to generate an effective learning process.
