Hilo conductor

Globetrotters: a year travelling the English-speaking world. Throughout Year 6, the class becomes a team of young globetrotters and reporters who complete six communicative missions, each linked to a theme or destination, gathering evidence in their "Traveller's Logbook" (a reflective portfolio with self-assessment, a passport of CEFR-style can-do statements and personal goals) and producing a real communicative outcome. Each mission develops primarily one of the area's specific competences and integrates the communicative modes (reception, production, interaction and mediation) through Task-Based Language Teaching, project work, soft CLIL, cooperative learning, storytelling and TPR. The progression runs from talking about oneself to everyday life and the community, then to the natural world and culture, closing with a whole-school English Fair open to families and linked to the transition to Secondary Education.

This classroom teaching programme sets out the planning for the Foreign Language: English area in Year 6 of Primary Education at a state primary school (CEIP) in the Comunitat Valenciana. Year 6 occupies a singular position within the stage: it is both the culmination of six years of compulsory primary schooling and the threshold of Secondary Education (ESO), a transition requiring not only consolidated communicative competence but the metacognitive autonomy to manage learning independently. The programme responds to this dual character by combining rigorous curricular grounding with a forward-looking, empowering pedagogy.

The value of the foreign language for pupils' integral development is well established in theory and legislation alike. Cummins's work on common underlying proficiency demonstrates that a rich plurilingual repertoire supports cognitive development across all areas of learning; Krashen's input hypothesis reminds us that comprehensible, meaningful input in a low-anxiety environment is the cornerstone of acquisition. In the Comunitat Valenciana, where schools operate within the PEPLI plurilingual programme alongside Valencian and Spanish, English extends pupils' linguistic repertoire, sharpens intercultural awareness and contributes to the exit profile defined by Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March, which places plurilingual competence (CP) and communicative language competence (CCL) at the heart of the Foreign Language area.

The organising thread of the year is "Globetrotters: a year travelling the English-speaking world": the twenty-five Year 6 pupils become a team of young reporters completing six communicative missions across three terms, each producing a real outcome — a video diary, a recipe leaflet, a tourist guide, an environmental campaign, a dramatised story, an English Fair — gathered progressively in a Traveller's Logbook, a reflective portfolio tracking growth through CEFR-aligned I can… descriptors and metacognitive commentary. The common thread is not decorative: it provides the motivational continuity, cooperative structure and authentic communicative purpose that Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), as theorised by Willis and Ellis, requires for genuine language development.

Five guiding principles shape all planning: a competence-based approach in alignment with Decreto 106/2022, de 5 d'agost, del Consell (the Valencian Primary curriculum); a communicative TBLT methodology centred on meaningful tasks with real audiences; soft CLIL integration using Coyle's 4Cs framework to link English with Science, the Arts and PE; a fully inclusive UDL perspective drawing on the CAST framework and operationalised through Decreto 104/2018 and Orden 20/2019 so that every pupil — including those with dyslexia, ADHD, ASD level 1, high ability or limited prior competence — can access every learning situation; and continuous reference to the CEFR (Council of Europe) as the shared framework for describing progress towards A2.

The present programme rests on a coherent body of legislation at three levels — state, regional and international — each contributing a distinct regulatory function to the normative architecture within which every planning, methodological and inclusion decision here is made.

State educational framework: LOE, LOMLOE and Royal Decree 157/2022

The Ley Orgánica 2/2006, de 3 de mayo, de Educación (LOE — Organic Education Act 2/2006), as amended by the Ley Orgánica 3/2020, de 29 de diciembre (LOMLOE), establishes the organising principles of Primary Education, introduces the exit profile (perfil de salida) articulated through eight key competences, and mandates planning through learning situations (situaciones de aprendizaje). For the Foreign Language area the priority key competences are plurilingual competence (CP) and communicative language competence (CCL), supported by digital competence (CD), personal, social and learning-to-learn competence (CPSAA), civic competence (CC) and cultural awareness and expression (CCEC). Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March develops this framework by defining the six specific competences of the Foreign Language area — multimodal comprehension, production, interaction, mediation, plurilingual repertoire and interculturality — together with the assessment criteria and blocks of basic knowledge. This taxonomy is the principal planning thread of the programme: each of the six Globetrotters missions prioritises one specific competence whilst integrating the others.

Valencian curriculum: Decreto 106/2022

Decreto 106/2022, de 5 d'agost, del Consell (Decreto 106/2022 — the Valencian Primary Education Curriculum Decree) contextualises the state minimum requirements, specifies the basic knowledge of the Foreign Language area by blocks and situates English within the school's PEPLI plurilingual programme. It is the direct normative source for the content organisation and the three-weekly-session timetable allocation of this programme.

Inclusion, equity and child protection

The inclusive design is mandated by Decreto 104/2018, de 27 de juliol, del Consell (Decree 104/2018 — the Valencian Equity and Inclusion Decree) and Orden 20/2019, de 30 d'abril (Order 20/2019 — the Educational Response Organisation Order), which establish a tiered model of educational response and require a Personalised Action Plan (PAP) for pupils with specific educational support needs. The UDL framework (CAST — Meyer and Rose) operates as the cross-cutting instrument, pre-empting barriers by offering multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement. Ley Orgánica 8/2021, de 4 de junio (LOPIVI — Organic Law 8/2021 on the comprehensive protection of children and adolescents against violence) obliges all professionals to maintain safe, respectful environments, a requirement reflected throughout in the cooperative classroom norms and the responsible management of any public display of pupil work.

International reference: the CEFR

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Council of Europe, CEFR) provides the shared metalanguage for communicative competence. Year 6 pupils are working towards A2 (consolidating A1); the CEFR's can-do descriptors shape the Traveller's Logbook passport, the formative rubrics and the stated learning outcomes of every mission.

The Role of Contextualisation in Curricular Planning

Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March (minimum requirements for Primary Education), situates the learning situation as the basic unit of planning and requires every programmatic decision to be grounded in the real characteristics of the educational community. Contextualisation transforms the statutory curriculum into a lived pedagogical proposal. The school's Educational Project provides the institutional frame — linguistic project, inclusion protocols, community partnerships — within which the Foreign Language programme must cohere. Decreto 106/2022, of 5 August, of the Consell (the Valencian Primary curriculum), requires area programmes to align with the school's plurilingual model. This programme, "Globetrotters", responds directly to those institutional demands.

The School: Plurilingual, Resourced, Community-Oriented

The school is a two-form-entry state primary school (CEIP) in a medium-sized, semi-urban Valencian town, operating under the Programa d'Educació Plurilingüe i Intercultural (PEPLI), in which English is taught alongside Valencian and Spanish. An English corner, an interactive whiteboard and a class library of graded readers calibrated to A1–A2 support the model materially. The active parents' association will form the live audience for the English Fair, giving pupils' communicative products authentic purpose — a direct application of Krashen's principle that meaningful input drives acquisition.

The Class Group: Twenty-Five Pupils, Real Diversity

The Year 6 class comprises twenty-five pupils aged eleven to twelve, in the final year of Primary Education. Piaget's account of this age as the onset of formal operations means pupils can sustain projects, handle greater abstraction and engage in metacognitive reflection — hence the Traveller's Logbook as a reflective portfolio throughout the year.

The group presents genuine diversity addressed systematically. A pupil with dyslexia is supported by oral and visual alternatives, accessible fonts and audio or drawn Logbook entries. A pupil with ADHD benefits from predictable structures, clear transitions and legitimate movement (TPR, role-plays). A pupil with ASD level 1 is supported through structured cooperative roles and stable English routines. A high-ability pupil is stretched through extension tasks and leadership of the reporter role. A newly-arrived pupil with limited Spanish, Valencian and English benefits from visual scaffolding and multimodal input: Asher's Total Physical Response and Halliwell's holistic approach establish that gesture, image and rhythm precede verbal production.

Decreto 104/2018, of 27 July (equity and inclusion), and Orden 20/2019, of 28 May (educational response for inclusion), mandate a Personalised Action Plan (PAP) for pupils with specific educational support needs. This programme applies Universal Design for Learning (UDL, CAST — Meyer and Rose) to build most adjustments universally across every learning situation.

The Plurilingual Setting and Cross-Linguistic Interaction

Most pupils bring Valencian and Spanish as their linguistic base; several draw on Arabic, Romanian or other heritage languages. Cummins' Common Underlying Proficiency (CUP) model is the theoretical cornerstone: literacy skills and conceptual knowledge acquired in one language are transferable and support acquisition in another. Literacy in Valencian underwrites English literacy. Specific Competence 5 tasks — comparing structures and pragmatic conventions across languages — reinforce this. Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development is equally operative: the English lesson is a mediated space in which teacher, peers and texts scaffold the learner towards communicative autonomy.

Implications for the "Globetrotters" Programme

These contextual features generate concrete curricular decisions. Cooperative base teams of four to five pupils — mixed-ability, with rotating roles (timekeeper, language monitor, materials helper, spokesperson, reporter) — operationalise Johnson and Johnson's positive interdependence while distributing linguistic challenge equitably; pupils with ADHD, ASD or newly-arrived status have a structured, valued function. Classroom English routines — daily register, word of the day, "English bubble" — create the low-anxiety environment Krashen identifies as essential for reducing the affective filter. The Traveller's Logbook is simultaneously a portfolio, a CEFR "I can…" self-assessment tool and a metacognitive journal.

LOMLOE Key Competences and the Exit Profile

Organic Law 3/2020, of 29 December (LOMLOE), amending the Spanish Education Act (LOE 2/2006), redefines Primary Education around eight key competences detailed in Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March, which links them to the exit profile that every pupil should achieve on leaving the stage.

The Foreign Language area prioritises CP (plurilingual competence) and CCL (linguistic communication). CP is the area's defining contribution — broadening the learner's linguistic repertoire with reflective awareness of how languages interact — and its exit-profile descriptors include drawing on cross-linguistic resources to mediate. CCL develops communicative and discursive competence across all four modes. The remaining competences are also activated: CD through digital production, CPSAA through the Traveller's Logbook, CC through civic and intercultural content, CCEC through storytelling and the English Fair, CE through the planning and design of communicative products.

The Six Specific Competences of the Foreign Language Area

Royal Decree 157/2022 defines six specific competences (SC) for the Foreign Language area — integrated communicative capacities aligned with the CEFR Companion Volume and assessed through the area's assessment criteria.

SC1 — Multimodal Comprehension. Understanding the general sense and details of short, simple oral, written and multimodal texts. At A1–A2: following instructions, processing brief dialogues and audio-visual input. Krashen's comprehensible input (i+1) underpins receptive task design. Connects to CCL and CP.

SC2 — Production. Producing short, simple texts adapted to purpose and recipient: describing people and places, narrating past events simply, writing a recipe or fact file. Bruner's scaffolding — sentence frames, peer support, modelling — focuses attention on meaning. Connects to CCL, CP, CD and CE.

SC3 — Interaction. Taking part in short everyday exchanges with respect and a cooperative spirit. Willis and Ellis's task-based framework positions negotiation of meaning as the engine of acquisition. Connects to CP, CCL, CPSAA and CC.

SC4 — Mediation. Mediating in predictable situations: explaining a word across languages, summarising for a partner. Cummins' CUP model grounds this — cross-linguistic meaning-making is cognitive sophistication, not interference. Connects to CP, CCL and CPSAA.

SC5 — Plurilingual Repertoire. Broadening the personal linguistic repertoire and developing metalinguistic awareness. In the PEPLI classroom, Valencian, Spanish and heritage languages are resources; language awareness tasks connect English to prior knowledge. Connects to CP, CCL and CPSAA.

SC6 — Interculturality. Valuing linguistic and cultural diversity with a critical intercultural attitude. Every "Globetrotters" mission explores a different dimension of the English-speaking world, foregrounding its internal diversity. Connects to CCEC, CP and CC.

Competence–Unit Mapping Table

The table maps each specific competence to the learning situation in which it is primarily developed. Every unit contributes to all six competences; the table reflects principal emphasis.

Specific Competence Primary Learning Situation Key Competences
SC1 — Multimodal Comprehension LS1 "Welcome aboard" (self-introduction texts, video diaries) CCL, CP, CD
SC2 — Production LS2 "Tasty trip" (recipe leaflet, role-play script) CCL, CP, CE, CD
SC3 — Interaction LS3 "Around the town" (giving directions, dialogues) CP, CCL, CPSAA, CC
SC4 — Mediation LS4 "Wild world" (reformulating facts, cross-language glossary) CP, CCL, CPSAA
SC5 — Plurilingual Repertoire LS5 "Story time" (language comparison, narrative conventions) CP, CCL, CPSAA
SC6 — Interculturality LS6 "The Big English Fair" (intercultural showcase, transition) CCEC, CP, CC

This mapping ensures each learning situation has a clear competence focus whilst cumulatively developing the range of communicative capacities required by Royal Decree 157/2022 and contributing to the LOMLOE exit profile.

Basic Knowledge (Contents) — Foreign Language: English · Year 6

The basic knowledge of the Foreign Language area is organised, in accordance with Decreto 106/2022, of 5 August, of the Consell (the Valencian Primary curriculum) and Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March (minimum requirements), into three blocks: Communication, Plurilingualism and Interculturality. All content targets CEFR A2 (consolidating A1), with an eye on transition to Secondary Education.


Block 1 — Communication

Communicative strategies. Formulaic language to open, maintain and close exchanges (What do you mean? Let me think…); compensation strategies (paraphrase, circumlocution); requests for clarification; cooperative turn-taking and reformulation, practised through the Traveller's Logbook and rotating roles.

Oral comprehension and production. Short, clear audio and audiovisual texts on familiar topics (identity, food, the town, nature, stories, culture; Units 1–6): gist and key details. Production: brief, intelligible utterances — descriptions, dialogues, short presentations. Phonology: word stress; sentence rhythm; /æ/, /ɪ/, /ʌ/, /θ/, /ð/; intonation in statements and questions.

Written comprehension and production. Short, simple texts (instructions, stories, fact files, maps, emails): gist and key details with contextual support. Guided/semi-guided writing: "About me" page, recipe leaflet, tourist guide, animal fact file, illustrated story, notes for the English Fair. Consolidation of basic punctuation and high-frequency vocabulary.

Multimodal comprehension and production. Illustrated books, infographics, short clips, digital slides; multimodal outputs (video diary, tourist map, class magazine) combining verbal and visual resources.

Interaction and mediation. Everyday situations: greetings, personal information, ordering food, giving directions, simple opinions. Mediation — summarising for a classmate, acting as a language broker in role-play — develops SC4 directly.

Grammar in use. Structures introduced in context (Ellis's meaning-before-form): present simple (Units 1, 4); there is/are, quantities (Units 2–3); would like, polite requests (Unit 2); imperatives, prepositions of place (Unit 3); comparatives/superlatives, must/mustn't (Unit 4); past simple regular and common irregulars (Unit 5); integrated review (Unit 6). Lexis: A2 topic vocabulary (identity, food, town, nature, narrative, festivals), high-frequency words (Oxford 3000 subset), basic word-formation.


Block 2 — Plurilingualism

Drawing on Cummins's common underlying proficiency, Valencian, Spanish and English are treated as an integrated repertoire within the PEPLI model. Content: identifying cognates and false friends; applying transfer strategies; reflecting on errors; using dictionaries and peer help; completing the Traveller's Logbook can-do passport as a metacognitive instrument. Primary competence: SC5 (all six units).


Block 3 — Interculturality

Foregrounded in Units 5–6, transversal throughout: customs, festivals and daily life in English-speaking countries; critical comparison of cultural practices; linguistic diversity as a social asset — consistent with LOMLOE (Organic Law 3/2020, of 29 December) — and an open, non-stereotyped intercultural attitude. Primary competence: SC6.

Methodology — Foreign Language: English · Year 6 of Primary Education

Methodological choices are grounded in Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March, which mandates competence-based learning through authentic situations, and in SLA research and educational psychology.


Methodological Principles

Meaningful, competence-based learning. LOMLOE (Organic Law 3/2020, of 29 December) organises learning through situated challenges with a real audience; at ages 11–12 (Piaget's concrete operations stage), language is grasped best in tangible experience. Every "Globetrotters" mission produces a genuine communicative outcome.

Communicative approach and UDL. Following Halliwell, young learners are meaning-oriented: communicative accuracy takes precedence over error-free production. Decreto 104/2018 (equity and inclusion) and Meyer and Rose's UDL framework (CAST) embed flexible representation, expression and engagement as core design for all pupils.

The "English bubble" and the affective filter. Krashen's input hypothesis (i+1) drives immersion: English-only routines, graded readers and consistent teacher English. His affective filter hypothesis demands low anxiety; cooperative structures and self-assessment keep the filter down.


Approaches and Models

TBLT. Willis's cycle (pre-task → task → planning and report → language focus) and Ellis's ten principles structure every unit; the final product is always the real communicative task.

Project-Based Learning and soft CLIL. Units 3–6 run multi-session projects. Coyle's 4Cs integrate English with Science (Units 2, 4), Social Science (Unit 3) and Arts (Unit 5) within the PEPLI plurilingual model.

TPR, storytelling and drama. Asher's TPR is used for vocabulary, directions and warm-up (Units 1, 3; supportive for the pupil with ADHD). Storytelling transfers the L1 narrative schema to English (Cummins); dramatisation (Unit 5) and the English Fair (Unit 6) integrate all four skills.

Cooperative learning and gamification. Base teams of 4–5 use rotating roles; Pujolàs's techniques and Johnson and Johnson's positive interdependence develop SC3, SC4 and social competence. The "Globetrotters" passport, missions board and digital reviews (Kahoot, Quizlet Live) sustain motivation.


Input, Scaffolding and Error Treatment

Within Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development, the teacher provides scaffolding (Bruner: temporary support progressively withdrawn) through model texts, sentence frames and peer help. During fluency tasks, errors are noted for later reflection; during accuracy stages, feedback is explicit and reformulative (Ellis). Language spirals across units, creating repeated exposures (Krashen).


Classroom Organisation

Sessions open with a five-minute English routine (greeting, date, word of the day) and close with a two-minute wrap-up (Today I learnt…; I still need to practise…). The grouping sequence — whole class → pairs → base teams → individual — mirrors Vygotsky's mediation principle. The English corner, whiteboard, class library and each pupil's Traveller's Logbook (can-do passport, reflection, self-assessment) form the core material environment.

The Learning Situation as a Communicative Pedagogical Unit

A learning situation, as defined by Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March, is a structured scenario in which pupils confront a real or realistic communicative challenge mobilising key competences and the specific competences of the Foreign Language area. Rather than an imposed theme, it is a purposeful task: pupils understand, produce, interact, mediate or reflect on language to achieve a tangible outcome — aligned with the task-based framework of Willis and Ellis.

The six learning situations are framed by the "Globetrotters: a year travelling the English-speaking world" common thread. The class forms a team completing six communicative missions across the year. The backbone is the Traveller's Logbook — a reflective portfolio with CEFR-style I can… descriptors at A1–A2, personal goals and self-assessment. The Logbook develops Cummins's notion of a cumulative linguistic repertoire and supports the plurilingual competence (CP) prioritised by Decreto 106/2022. English-only routines ("English bubble"), rotating cooperative roles (timekeeper, language monitor, materials helper, spokesperson, reporter) and warm-up/wrap-up rituals reduce Krashen's affective filter across all six missions.

Sequencing, Progression and Language Spiralling

The six missions progress from the personal to the global — consistent with Bruner's spiral curriculum and with Year 6 as the gateway to Secondary Education (ESO).

Mission 1 ("Welcome aboard!") anchors pupils in identity, routines and feelings; SC2 (production) is primary as pupils write, record and present their "About me" page. Mission 2 ("Tasty trip") shifts to food and markets — SC3 (interaction) through role-play and soft CLIL with Science/PE, recycling functions of ordering and expressing preference throughout the year.

Mission 3 ("Around the town") extends the community lens: pupils map places, give directions and produce a tourist guide; imperatives and prepositions of place recycle classroom-instruction language grounded in Asher's Total Physical Response. Mission 4 ("Wild world") foregrounds SC1 (comprehension) — pupils research habitats, read factual texts and produce an environmental campaign, integrating comparatives/superlatives and must/mustn't with Science and the SDGs.

Mission 5 ("Story time") foregrounds SC6 (interculturality) through British and English-speaking festivals, illustrated narratives and dramatisation for younger pupils, with the past simple as the primary new structure. Mission 6 ("The Big English Fair") is the integrating project — SC5 (plurilingual repertoire) primary — as pupils plan and run a whole-school English Fair, complete the class magazine and reflect on their year in the Logbook ahead of Secondary.

Language is spiralled deliberately: structures introduced in Missions 1–2 are recycled in Missions 3–4 and mobilised in autonomous production in Missions 5–6. Assessment criteria from RD 157/2022 are addressed progressively — comprehension early, interaction and production in the middle units, mediation and interculturality in the final term — so that by Mission 6 all six specific competences are active and evidenced.

Principles of Assessment

Assessment in this programme is an integral part of learning, not an event that follows it. In line with Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March, and Decreto 106/2022, of 5 August, of the Consell (the Valencian Primary curriculum), it is competence-based, criterion-referenced, continuous, global and formative. Its central purpose is avaluació formadora (assessment for and as learning): pupils progressively appropriate the criteria and regulate their own progress, developing the plurilingual competence (CP) and the competence for personal management (CPSAA) that LOMLOE's exit profile demands.

The three temporal moments — initial, ongoing and final — form a coherent cycle. Initial assessment (opening sessions of each unit) activates prior knowledge through a communicative warm-up task, lowering the affective filter (Krashen) to encourage authentic production. Ongoing assessment is embedded in everyday activity. Final assessment closes each unit and synthesises process evidence; the year-end moment coincides with completion of the Traveller's Logbook and the English Fair.

Assessment Criteria and Specific Competences

The assessment criteria of Royal Decree 157/2022 are the sole legal reference for grading, organised around the six specific competences (SC1–SC6). Each criterion is operationalised through CEFR "can-do" descriptors for the A1–A2 band tracked in the Traveller's Logbook passport. SC2 (production) maps onto "I can write short, simple sentences about familiar topics"; SC3 (interaction) onto "I can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a direct exchange of information". This dual anchorage — legal criteria and CEFR descriptors — ensures rigour without reducing assessment to a checklist.

Assessment Instruments

Systematic observation and checklists are the teacher's primary ongoing tool, capturing oral interaction (SC3) that written tests cannot reach.

Rubrics, shared with pupils before each final task, describe performance across three or four levels in clear language. Sharing rubrics in advance scaffolds self-regulation, in line with Vygotsky's mediated learning.

The Traveller's Logbook is the programme's central portfolio: drafts, revised work and self-assessment sheets collected across all six units, a working tool for metacognitive reflection aligned with the CEFR's emphasis on learner autonomy.

Self- and peer assessment are introduced progressively via structured frames ("I think I can… / I need to practise…") and brief peer-feedback protocols ("Two stars and a wish"), developing CPSAA.

Performance and communicative tasks — the recipe leaflet, tourist guide, illustrated story, English Fair — are the richest evidence of competence, integrating receptive, productive and interactional skills authentically (Willis and Ellis).

Simple tests are used sparingly for lexical or grammatical consolidation (SC5), never as the dominant instrument.

Ethical use of recordings: audio or video of oral presentations is used for self-assessment only, with family consent and deleted at year end, under LOPIVI (Organic Law 8/2021).

Assessment Moments, Instruments and Agents

Moment Primary instruments Agents
Initial (start of unit/year) Oral warm-up task, KWL grid, observation Teacher
Ongoing (throughout each unit) Observation checklist, rubric drafts, Logbook entries, peer feedback Teacher + peers + self
Final (end of unit/year) Performance task + rubric, completed Logbook, self-assessment sheet Teacher + self (+peers for the Fair)

Arriving at Marks and Assessment of Teaching Practice

Marks synthesise convergent evidence across criteria and instruments; no single task determines the grade. The Traveller's Logbook and performance tasks carry greater weight than punctual tests; oral production and interaction receive explicit weight through rubrics and observation records.

The teacher reviews the teaching-learning process at each unit's end: Were learning situations sufficiently communicative? Were diversity measures effective? Where the class shows systematic difficulty, tasks are revisited — a responsive practice consistent with Decreto 104/2018 (equity and inclusion in the Comunitat Valenciana), closing the formative cycle.

The Inclusion Framework

Attention to diversity rests on Decreto 104/2018, of 27 July, of the Consell (equity and inclusion in the Comunitat Valenciana) and Orden 20/2019, of 30 April (organisation of the educational response for inclusion), which establish a four-level model: universal measures for the whole group; additional measures for pupils with specific educational support needs; intensive measures with a Personalised Action Plan (PAP); and, exceptionally, highly specific measures. The starting point is always the least restrictive option.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) (CAST, Meyer and Rose) underpins all planning. UDL locates barriers in the design of the environment rather than in the learner, and organises the response around three principles:

  • Multiple means of representation: new vocabulary is introduced simultaneously with an image, a sound and a gesture (TPR, Asher), reducing cognitive load for all learners.
  • Multiple means of action and expression: pupils may respond orally, in writing, through drawing or via a short audio recording; cooperative roles allow contribution from varied strengths.
  • Multiple means of engagement: the "Globetrotters" narrative sustains purpose and belonging. Krashen's affective filter makes a low-anxiety classroom a direct EFL teaching strategy.

Linguistic Diversity as an Asset

The class's diverse home languages are resources, not obstacles. Cummins's Common Underlying Proficiency shows that cognitive-academic skills transfer across languages, so the newly-arrived pupil's L1 supports English acquisition. Cross-linguistic comparisons develop language awareness (SC5). The pupil's cultural knowledge becomes content in Units 1 and 6, operationalising SC6 (interculturality) and reversing deficit framing.

Response Measures by Learner Profile

Profile Main barriers in EFL Concrete measures and adjustments
Dyslexia Decoding irregular English orthography; time pressure on writing Colour-coded phonics cards; sans-serif fonts; audio support for reading; extended time; oral alternatives; Logbook entries may be audio-recorded
ADHD Sustained attention; organisational demands; impulsive turn-taking Short, signposted task steps (visual timer); frequent format changes; "timekeeper" role; brief TPR breaks; rubrics provided before each task
ASD level 1 Unpredictable interaction; figurative language; noise; improvised role-play Social scripts and sentence frames; role-plays pre-rehearsed; "language monitor" role (rule-based); factual content contexts; figurative expressions flagged explicitly
High ability Under-stimulation; dominating group work Open-ended extension tasks; graded readers above group level; independent investigation of a linguistic feature
Newly-arrived pupil Limited prior English; possible literacy gaps; social isolation Buddy system; bilingual visual glossaries; simplified input; silent period respected (Krashen); home language welcomed; PAP initiated if needed

UDL: Concrete EFL Examples

Graded tasks: in Unit 4 ("Wild world"), writing a photo caption offers three support levels — a gapped sentence frame, a partly completed sentence, or open writing. All pupils produce a complete text; the scaffolding differs. This is flexible access, not ability grouping (Booth and Ainscow, Index for Inclusion).

Visual and audio support: the English Corner displays a weekly vocabulary wall and grammar anchor chart. In Unit 2 ("Tasty trip"), the recipe task is modelled live and then available as a replayable recording — comprehensible input (Krashen) at the learner's own pace.

Choice of output: in Unit 5 ("Story time"), pupils may present their story as written text, oral narration, comic strip or short video — all assessed against the same rubric specifying communicative effectiveness, not medium.

Alternative cooperative roles: rotating roles allow every pupil to contribute regardless of oral fluency. A pupil in an early production stage holds the timekeeper or materials role while fully participating in meaning-making — a realisation of Vygotsky's ZPD through peer mediation.

Emotional Safety and Coordination

Echeita's work on inclusive education argues that belonging precedes learning. The "Globetrotters" narrative positions every pupil as a valued team member; the Traveller's Logbook celebrates individual trajectories rather than ranking against a single norm. Coordination with the guidance team and the specialist for therapeutic pedagogy ensures classroom measures align with each pupil's PAP, reviewed each term in the responsive spirit of Decreto 104/2018.

Spaces and Their Organisation

The programme draws on physical and virtual spaces organised for cooperative, communicative and inclusive work in line with Universal Design for Learning (UDL; CAST, Meyer & Rose) and the PEPLI plurilingual programme.

The English classroom is the primary space, arranged in mixed-ability cooperative teams of four to five. One wall holds the English Corner: vocabulary posters, the class word wall, a CEFR can-do chart and a world map. The IWB area serves for whole-class input and digital Logbook display; seating gives clear sightlines to all pupils, including those with dyslexia, ADHD and ASD. The school library is used fortnightly in Missions 4 and 5; the ICT room or tablet trolley in Missions 1, 3 and 6. The school hall hosts the Mission 6 English Fair with role-play zones, display boards and a quiz station open to families.

Spaces × Type of Activity

Space Activity type Missions
English classroom Cooperative tasks, role-play, input, assessment 1–6
English Corner Vocabulary, can-do self-assessment, evidence 1–6
IWB area Modelling, audio/video, digital Logbook 1–6
School library Graded readers, book talk, research 4, 5
ICT room / tablets Video diary, digital guide, magazine, campaign 1, 3, 4, 6
School hall English Fair, performance, community display 6

Material Resources

Flashcards, realia and visual aids (food packaging, maps, timetables) support comprehensible input following Krashen's input hypothesis and Asher's Total Physical Response. Graded readers at A1–A2 are used in Missions 4 and 5 and available for self-selected reading. Thematic posters — world map, phoneme chart, anchor charts — are updated each mission. Board and card games sustain communicative practice. The class magazine collects final products of Missions 1–5 and is launched at the English Fair, functioning as product, portfolio and Secondary transition document.

Digital and ICT Resources

The IWB provides daily task modelling, audio/video stimuli and digital Logbook display. A school-licensed multimedia platform enables video diaries (Mission 1), annotated digital maps (Mission 3) and magazine editing, chosen for age-appropriateness and GDPR compliance. QR codes link to pronunciation guides and listening tasks. The digital Traveller's Logbook is shared with families under LOPIVI (Organic Law 8/2021). Subtitles and transcripts accompany all video, applying UDL principle 1 for the pupil with dyslexia and the newly-arrived pupil.

Human and Organisational Resources

The English specialist coordinates with class tutors to align CLIL content and share support information. The plurilingual coordinator (PEPLI) advises on language distribution and places the English Fair in the school calendar. Families serve as authentic audience in Missions 1, 5 and 6, reinforcing Vygotsky's social learning framework. The timetable provides three sessions per week (~105 per year). Teams are reviewed following Pujolàs's guidance. Where a Personalised Action Plan (PAP) exists under Decreto 104/2018, organisation and resources are adjusted at classroom level before any more intensive response.

This programme represents a considered, coherent and legally grounded proposal for the teaching of English as a foreign language in Year 6 of Primary Education in the Comunitat Valenciana. By placing the "Globetrotters" common thread at the centre of all planning, it ensures that the six learning situations are interconnected missions building, cumulatively, a genuine communicative trajectory: from personal expression in Term 1, through community and environmental engagement in Term 2, to cultural storytelling and the whole-school English Fair in Term 3. Each mission develops one specific competence established by Royal Decree 157/2022 whilst integrating the others, so that no strand — comprehension, production, interaction, mediation, plurilingual awareness or intercultural openness — is neglected.

The programme commits to a communicative, task-based methodology in which language is learnt by being used for real purposes; to inclusion as a design principle, drawing on the UDL framework (CAST) and on Decreto 104/2018 and Orden 20/2019 to ensure every pupil can participate meaningfully; and to intercultural awareness as both a specific competence (SC6) and a transversal value, preparing pupils to engage with linguistic and cultural diversity as a resource throughout their lives.

Equally, the programme is presented as an open, flexible and revisable document. Formative data gathered through the Traveller's Logbook, cooperative observations and task rubrics will call for adjustments to pacing and scaffolding — a capacity for reflective revision informed by Vygotsky's zone of proximal development and Bruner's responsive scaffolding that is not a weakness of the proposal but one of its central strengths. The programme aspires to leave its pupils not only more proficient communicators in English but more confident, reflective and interculturally aware learners, ready for the demands of Secondary Education and for participation in a plurilingual world.

Legislation

LOE 2/2006 (Organic Law on Education), amended by LOMLOE (Organic Law 3/2020, of 29 December), establishes the principles and organisation of Primary Education. Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March (BOE no. 52) defines the key competences, exit profile and the specific competences, assessment criteria and basic knowledge of the Foreign Language area, and introduces the learning situation as the unit of planning. Decreto 106/2022, of 5 August, of the Consell (DOGV no. 9402) specifies the blocks of basic knowledge for Foreign Language and frames the PEPLI programme. Decreto 104/2018, of 27 July (DOGV no. 8356) and Orden 20/2019, of 30 April (DOGV no. 8540) govern equity, inclusion and the Personalised Action Plan (PAP). LOPIVI (Organic Law 8/2021, of 4 June) (BOE no. 134) protects minors in digital contexts. The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) (Council of Europe, 2001; Companion Volume, 2020) provides the A1–A2 proficiency reference, can-do descriptor design and the communicative competence model for the area's specific competences.

Welcome aboard! All about me and my world

Descripción

This opening mission launches the year-long "Globetrotters" thread: the Year 6 class is sworn in as a team of young globetrotters and reporters who will travel the English-speaking world. Before exploring distant destinations, each traveller must first introduce themselves, so the unit answers a real communicative challenge: "Who am I and what is my world like?"

Pupils gather evidence about their identity, daily routines, hobbies, appearance and feelings, recording it in their new Traveller's Logbook and passport of I can… descriptors. The journey culminates in a double final product: a short, self-recorded personal video diary and an illustrated "About me" page for the class magazine. Both feed the whole-class magazine that grows across the six units and is showcased at the closing English Fair, giving immediate purpose and audience to everything pupils say and write from the very first lesson.

Justificación

Identity is the most accessible and motivating starting point for the affective entry into the foreign language, lowering Krashen's affective filter and building the confidence the class context prioritises. The unit develops primarily SC2 (production) and SC3 (interaction), the two competences of Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March, where Year 6 pupils most need consolidation before the transition to Secondary, contributing to the exit profile through the plurilingual (CP) and linguistic-communicative (CCL) competences.

A Task-Based Language Teaching design (Willis, Ellis) frames language as a tool for a genuine purpose: presenting oneself to a real audience. Comprehensible input (Krashen), TPR (Asher) and Bruner's scaffolding precede output, so the present simple emerges through meaningful use rather than rote drilling, transferring Cummins' common underlying proficiency from the pupils' other languages.

Temporalización

The unit spans 10 sessions across roughly three and a half weeks at the start of Term 1 (mid-September to early October), at 3 sessions per week (~105 sessions/year). As the first of the six missions, it sets up the recurring routines, cooperative roles and the Traveller's Logbook that structure the whole programme. It establishes the baseline "all about me" stage of the year's progression (self → community → natural world), feeding directly into Unit 2 ("Tasty trip"), where personal habits widen into healthy lifestyles, and supplying the first page of the class magazine completed at the English Fair.

Competencias específicas

The unit foregrounds production and interaction, supported by reception, with their reference assessment criteria from Royal Decree 157/2022.

Specific competence Reference assessment criteria (Year 6)
SC2 — Production 2.1 Produce short, simple, comprehensible oral and multimodal texts (the video diary) using models and scaffolding. 2.2 Organise and present basic personal information in writing (the "About me" page) with adequate coherence.
SC3 — Interaction 3.1 Take part in brief, everyday face-to-face exchanges (interviews, surveys) with respect and cooperation. 3.2 Use basic conventions and strategies (greetings, turn-taking, asking for repetition) to sustain interaction.
SC1 — Comprehension (support) 1.1 Interpret the general sense and specific details of short oral and written models presenting people.

Saberes básicos

Basic knowledge selected from the Communication, Plurilingualism and Interculturality blocks of Decreto 106/2022, of 5 August for Year 6.

Block Basic knowledge worked
Communication Functions: greeting and introducing oneself and others; giving personal information; describing appearance and personality; expressing likes, feelings and routines. Structures: present simple (affirmative, negative, Wh- and yes/no questions), have got, frequency adverbs, object/possessive pronouns.
Communication (lexis & phonics) Lexis: family, age, nationality, physical/personality adjectives, hobbies, days, daily routines, feelings. Phonics: third-person -s endings; intonation of questions; word stress.
Plurilingualism Comparing how introductions and routines are expressed across the pupils' languages; basic self-correction strategies.
Interculturality Greeting conventions and identity in English-speaking cultures; respect for diversity within the class.

Criterios de evaluación

Assessment criteria for the unit, linked to instruments and CEFR can-do descriptors (A1–A2).

Assessment criterion Instrument CEFR can-do (A1–A2)
Presents personal information orally in a short, rehearsed monologue. Video diary + rubric I can introduce myself and talk about my routines and hobbies in simple terms.
Writes a coherent, legible "About me" text using models. "About me" page + checklist I can write simple phrases about myself and my immediate world.
Sustains brief everyday exchanges respectfully. Interview/survey observation sheet I can ask and answer simple questions about familiar topics.
Uses the present simple and key lexis comprehensibly. Logbook tasks + teacher observation I can use basic structures with memorised expressions.
Reflects on own progress using the passport. Self-assessment in the Logbook I can recognise what I am able to do.

Metodología

The unit follows a TBLT cycle (Willis): a pre-task activates schemata and supplies input and target language (model video diaries, flashcards, TPR routines following Asher); the task stage has pupils plan, rehearse and perform real exchanges (interviews, "find someone who" surveys) and draft their products with the teacher as facilitator; the language focus stage isolates the present simple and pronunciation noticed in use, with brief explicit practice and self-correction.

Work is mainly cooperative in mixed-ability base teams of four to five with rotating roles (timekeeper, language monitor, materials helper, spokesperson, reporter), drawing on Pujolàs and Johnson & Johnson, alternated with pair interviews and individual production. Scaffolding (Bruner) is provided through sentence frames, model texts and word banks within each pupil's ZPD (Vygotsky). Classroom English routines sustain an "English bubble": daily greeting, date, weather and feelings round, warm-up and wrap-up reflection. Comprehensible input precedes output throughout, keeping the affective filter low.

Recursos

Materials: flashcard sets (family, adjectives, hobbies, routines, feelings); realia brought from home; sentence-frame and word-bank posters; the Traveller's Logbook with its passport of I can… descriptors; planning, storyboard and magazine templates; peer-feedback checklists; a small class library of graded readers. Digital: the interactive whiteboard, a model video-diary clip, and a tablet or other recording device for filming the diaries in the English corner. Human: the teacher as facilitator and language model, cooperative base teams with rotating roles, peer tutors for the newly-arrived pupil, and families contributing personal photos and realia.

Espacios

The ordinary classroom is arranged in base-team clusters of four to five to enable cooperation and quick reconfiguration into pairs for interviews. The English corner becomes the "recording studio" for the video diaries, offering a quieter, semi-enclosed space with the model and props to hand. The interactive whiteboard anchors whole-class input and reflection. Word-bank and sentence-frame posters are displayed at pupils' eye level. The ICT room or a tablet trolley supports filming and editing. Furniture and acoustics are adjusted to reduce distraction for the pupils with ADHD and ASD.

Atención a la diversidad

The unit applies Universal Design for Learning (CAST; Meyer & Rose) across its three principles, in line with Decreto 104/2018 and Orden 20/2019. Representation: multimodal input (video, flashcards, realia, gesture), word banks and sentence frames, dual-coded vocabulary. Action and expression: pupils may present through video, audio, drawing-supported writing or live speech, choosing their channel. Engagement: personally meaningful content (their own identity), achievable cooperative roles and clear I can… goals sustain motivation.

Concrete adjustments by profile: the dyslexic pupil receives a sans-serif coloured-overlay template, extra time and oral alternatives, with no penalty for spelling. The pupil with ADHD has shorter task chunks, a movement-rich TPR role and a visual timer. The ASD level 1 pupil is given a visual routine schedule, advance scripts and a predictable seat. The newly-arrived pupil works with a peer tutor, picture dictionaries and bridging to their home language. The high-ability pupil takes an extension reporter role with a richer model.

Evaluación

Assessment is continuous, formative and inclusive, gathered through accessible instruments: systematic observation during interviews and surveys, a checklist for the "About me" page, the video diary and the page as products, and self-assessment via the passport of I can… descriptors in the Traveller's Logbook. Peer feedback uses simple checklists. All instruments are offered in accessible formats coherent with the diversity adjustments.

Criterion Getting started Developing Secure Excellent
Speaking (video diary) Says a few memorised words with help. Gives some personal facts, often hesitant. Presents myself, routines and a hobby clearly. Speaks fluently with good pronunciation and detail.
Writing ("About me") Copies isolated words. Writes some phrases with frequent errors. Writes a clear, coherent page with models. Writes a rich, well-organised, mostly accurate page.
Interaction Answers only with much support. Joins brief exchanges with prompts. Asks and answers simple questions respectfully. Sustains exchanges and helps partners.
Use of English Uses very little present simple. Uses present simple with frequent slips. Uses present simple and key lexis comprehensibly. Uses them accurately and flexibly.

Transversalidad

The unit embeds plurilingual competence by comparing how greetings, names and routines work across the pupils' languages within the PEPLI model, and intercultural awareness through English-speaking greeting conventions. It links genuinely with SDG 4 (quality education), by building confidence and inclusive participation for every learner, and SDG 10 (reduced inequalities), through the value placed on the newly-arrived pupil's identity and the celebration of class diversity. It connects with Arts (illustrating the magazine page and video), PE (TPR routine verbs), Valencian/Spanish language areas (transferable text-type knowledge) and with families, who contribute photos and realia and become the audience for the class magazine.

Tasty trip: food, markets and healthy habits

Descripción

In this second Globetrotters mission, our young reporters land in an English-speaking food market to investigate what people eat and how to live healthily. Building on the identities explored in Unit 1, pupils now move outward to everyday life and the community, talking, ordering and negotiating in real exchanges. The challenge: "Can we eat our way around the English-speaking world and stay healthy?" Pupils gather evidence in their Traveller's Logbook and create a twofold final product: a healthy recipe leaflet for the class magazine and a lively market/restaurant role-play performed for the group. Soft CLIL links with Science and PE frame food as fuel, reinforcing real, cooperative, confident communication in English.

Justificación

This unit develops primarily SC3 — Interaction (RD 157/2022, of 1 March): pupils take part in everyday transactional situations (ordering, shopping, offering, requesting) with respect and cooperation. Food is a high-frequency, highly motivating semantic field that generates authentic spoken exchange, lowering Krashen's affective filter and maximising comprehensible input and output. Following Willis and Ellis (Task-Based Language Teaching), the market/restaurant role-play is a genuine task with a communicative gap. Soft CLIL (Coyle's 4Cs) embeds Science (food groups, balanced diet) and PE (active habits), so language carries real content. Cummins' common underlying proficiency justifies bridging from the plurilingual repertoire (Valencian/Spanish food words). Interaction here consolidates A1 towards A2 and underpins the Globetrotters thread of communicating in the community.

Temporalización

The unit spans 10 sessions across roughly three and a half weeks in Term 1 (November–December), at the rate of 3 sessions per week (~45 minutes each), within the area's ~105 annual sessions. Sessions 1–2 activate prior knowledge and present lexis (reception); sessions 3–6 develop interaction structures (there is/are, some/any, would like, countable/uncountable) through guided and freer practice; sessions 7–8 build the recipe leaflet and rehearse the role-play; sessions 9–10 stage the final market/restaurant performances and Logbook self-assessment. Timing is flexible to respect diverse paces and allow reteaching.

Competencias específicas

The unit prioritises SC3 and supports SC2, SC4 and SC5, evidenced through the area's assessment criteria (RD 157/2022).

Specific competence Assessment criteria (focus) Key competences
SC3 — Interaction Take part in brief food-related exchanges (ordering, shopping, offering), respecting turns and using courtesy formulae CP, CCL, CPSAA
SC2 — Production Produce a short written recipe leaflet and oral lines, clear and comprehensible CP, CCL, CD
SC4 — Mediation Help a peer understand a menu/recipe, relaying simple information CP, CC
SC5 — Plurilingual repertoire Compare food lexis across languages, reflecting on countable/uncountable CP, CPSAA

Saberes básicos

Drawing on the blocks of basic knowledge of the Foreign Language area (Decreto 106/2022, of 5 August), the unit mobilises the following for Year 6:

Dimension Basic knowledge for the unit
Functions Ordering food/drink; offering and accepting; asking prices and quantities; expressing likes and preferences; giving simple recipe instructions
Structures There is / there are; some / any; How much / How many; Would you like…? / I'd like…; imperatives for instructions
Lexis Food and drink, meals, fruit and vegetables, containers and quantities, prices, healthy/unhealthy habits
Grammar awareness Countable vs uncountable nouns; basic word order in questions and offers
Phonetics Polite intonation in requests; word stress in food items
Sociocultural Markets, cafés and eating customs in English-speaking countries; courtesy

Criterios de evaluación

Assessment criteria are matched to instruments and CEFR (A1–A2) can-do descriptors (Council of Europe).

Assessment criterion Instrument CEFR can-do (A1–A2)
Interacts in a simple food transaction, respecting turns Role-play observation rubric "I can order food and drink and ask the price."
Uses some/any, there is/are, would like appropriately Oral checklist + exit tickets "I can ask and say how much/many there is."
Produces a clear, accurate recipe leaflet Leaflet analytic rubric "I can write short, simple instructions."
Mediates basic food information for a peer Peer/teacher observation "I can help someone understand a simple menu."
Reflects on learning and plurilingual links Traveller's Logbook (passport) "I can compare food words across my languages."

Metodología

The unit follows Task-Based Language Teaching (Willis, Ellis): a clear final task—the market/restaurant role-play—drives a pre-task (lexis and structures), task cycle (rehearsal and performance) and language focus. Interaction is the core mode, so role-play and information-gap activities dominate, with realistic props (menus, price lists, play food) to create a meaningful communicative purpose and lower the affective filter (Krashen). Cooperative learning (Pujolàs; Johnson & Johnson) structures mixed-ability base teams of 4–5 with rotating roles (timekeeper, language monitor, materials helper, spokesperson, reporter); structures such as think–pair–share, placemat and rallof robin ensure balanced participation and positive interdependence. Soft CLIL (Coyle's 4Cs) links food to Science (food groups) and PE (active lifestyle), so language conveys content. Scaffolding (Bruner; Vygotsky's ZPD) is provided through model dialogues, sentence frames, visual support and graduated removal of aids. TPR (Asher) reinforces action verbs in recipes. English-only routines sustain the "English bubble"; all activity feeds the Traveller's Logbook for metacognitive reflection and self-regulation (CPSAA).

Objectives: rehearse market/restaurant role-play. Warm-up: dialogue warm-up. Main: teams plan and rehearse a market or restaurant scene integrating all structures; props prepared; rotating roles assigned. Wrap-up: self-rating of readiness. Groupings: base teams. Materials: props, scripts, success criteria. Sessions 9–10 stage the performances, complete the leaflet for the class magazine, and close with Logbook self- and co-assessment.

Recursos

Materials: food flashcards and realia (play fruit, vegetables, empty containers); printed menus, price lists and play money; recipe leaflet templates and a model leaflet; the "healthy plate" poster template; cooperative role cards and sentence-frame strips. Digital: the interactive whiteboard for picture prompts, a vocabulary-game site and a recording app for self-review; QR-free audio for listening models. Human: the EFL teacher, peer tutors within base teams, the language monitor role, and families contributing simple family recipes. Reference: graded readers from the class library on food themes for fast finishers.

Espacios

The ordinary classroom is reconfigured for interaction: tables grouped into base-team clusters, with a central open area set up as a "market/café stall" for role-plays. The English corner displays the food word wall, the healthy-plate poster and the Traveller's Logbook station, sustaining the "English bubble". Furniture is mobile so pupils circulate during information-gap and shopping tasks; the interactive whiteboard anchors whole-class modelling. A quiet zone supports the pupil with ADHD and ASD when regulation is needed.

Atención a la diversidad

Following Universal Design for Learning (CAST; Meyer & Rose) and the inclusive framework of Orden 20/2019 and Decreto 104/2018 (levels of response and the Personalised Action Plan), barriers are removed by design. Multiple means of representation: food vocabulary is presented through realia, images, gesture (TPR) and audio, never text alone. Multiple means of action and expression: pupils can show learning by speaking, drawing, labelling or acting, and use sentence frames as scaffolds. Multiple means of engagement: real, motivating food contexts, choice of recipe and cooperative roles sustain interest. Specific adjustments: for the pupil with dyslexia, dyslexia-friendly fonts, colour-coded word banks, oral response options and no penalising of spelling in speaking tasks; for the pupil with ADHD, short, segmented tasks, an active "materials helper" role, movement during shopping tasks and clear visual timers; for the newly-arrived pupil, bilingual picture glossaries, peer-buddy mediation, the plurilingual bridge from prior languages (Cummins) and reduced output demands. The high-ability pupil takes on reporter/extension challenges. Flexible groupings and graduated scaffolding ensure every pupil reaches the can-do goals.

Evaluación

Assessment is continuous, formative and competence-based, triangulating teacher observation (role-play and oral checklists), the analytic leaflet rubric, exit tickets, and the Traveller's Logbook with CEFR "can-do" self- and co-assessment. Peer feedback and a final reflection foster self-regulation (CPSAA). The role-play is assessed with this rubric:

Criterion Beginning (1) Developing (2) Competent (3) Advanced (4)
Interaction & turns Needs constant prompting Some exchanges with help Sustains the transaction independently Manages and repairs the exchange fluently
Use of structures Few target structures Uses some with errors Uses some/any, would like accurately Uses a wide, accurate range
Vocabulary Very limited food lexis Basic, repetitive lexis Appropriate, varied food lexis Rich, precise lexis
Courtesy & pronunciation Hard to follow Understandable with effort Polite, clearly intelligible Polite, natural intonation

Transversalidad

The unit embeds healthy living as a cross-cutting value, directly serving SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by promoting balanced diets and active habits, with explicit links to Science (food groups, nutrition) and PE (food as fuel for activity). It nurtures plurilingualism by bridging food lexis across Valencian, Spanish and English (PEPLI), valuing pupils' full repertoires. It opens to families, who contribute simple family recipes for the leaflet, strengthening the school–family partnership of the active parents' association. Intercultural awareness grows through markets and eating customs of English-speaking countries, reinforcing the Globetrotters thread of exploring the community.

Around the town: places, directions and our community

Descripción

In this third Globetrotters mission our young reporters land in an English-speaking city and become city guides. The challenge: help a confused visitor find their way around. Drawing on their Traveller's Logbook, pupils explore places, shops and services, and learn to read a map and give directions. Through Project-Based Learning, teams design a real outcome: a tourist guide and map of an English-speaking city (landmarks, services and a walking route), rounded off with a live giving-directions task in which a "tourist" is guided from A to B. The mission links everyday life to our own community, building confidence in real, purposeful communication.

Justificación

This situation develops primarily SC4 (mediation) and SC1 (comprehension), as set out in Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March. Mediation is at the heart of giving directions: pupils relay spatial information so a tourist who lacks the language can act, embodying Vygotsky's view of language as a mediating tool and Bruner's scaffolding (LASS). SC1 underpins the comprehension of maps, signs, leaflets and short audio directions (multimodal i+1 input, Krashen). Project-Based Learning gives the work an authentic purpose and a tangible product, keeping the affective filter low. The community focus connects English to pupils' own town, fostering active citizenship and the transition to ESO.

Temporalización

The situation spans 11 sessions across Term 2 (January–February), at 3 sessions per week, occupying roughly four school weeks. It opens the term after the Christmas break, building on Unit 2 (there is/are) towards A2. The sequence follows a Project-Based arc: an activation phase (sessions 1–2), a language and input phase (3–6), a production and mediation phase (7–9) and a showcase and assessment phase (10–11). Each session embeds English-only routines and Logbook reflection.

Competencias específicas

The situation prioritises two specific competences of the area (RD 157/2022), supporting the plurilingual (CP) and linguistic-communication (CCL) key competences.

Specific competence Focus in this situation Assessment criteria (selection)
SC4 — Mediation Relaying directions and place information to a "tourist"; processing maps and signs 4.1 Mediate in predictable everyday situations; 4.2 Use simple strategies and support to make information accessible

SC2 — Production (support) Producing the guide and giving directions 2.1 Produce short, comprehensible texts
SC3 — Interaction (support) Cooperative role-plays asking the way 3.1 Take part respectfully and cooperatively

Saberes básicos

The basic knowledge is drawn from the blocks of the Foreign Language area in Decreto 106/2022, of 5 August, selected and graded for Year 6 (A1–A2).

Dimension Basic knowledge for this situation
Functions Asking for and giving directions; locating places; expressing ability and permission; describing a town
Structures Prepositions of place (next to, opposite, between, on the corner of); imperatives (turn left/right, go straight on, cross); there is/are; can for ability and permission
Lexis Places in town (museum, library, bank, chemist's, square); shops and services; landmarks; ordinal numbers; signs
Phonics/discourse Word stress in place names; sentence rhythm in directions; sequencers (first, then, next, finally)
Mediation strategies Pointing, gesturing, repeating, simplifying, using a map as support

Criterios de evaluación

Assessment criteria (RD 157/2022 and Decreto 106/2022) are matched to instruments and to CEFR can-do descriptors, ensuring competence-based, criterion-referenced assessment.

Criterion (competence) CEFR can-do (A1–A2) Instrument
1.1 Grasp general sense (SC1) I can understand short directions and simple maps Observation; map-reading task
1.2 Identify details (SC1) I can find a specific place from a leaflet or sign Listening/reading worksheet

2.1 Produce short texts (SC2) I can write a simple entry for a tourist guide Guide product; rubric
3.1 Interact cooperatively (SC3) I can ask the way politely and take turns Cooperative-roles log

Metodología

The methodological backbone is Project-Based Learning (soft CLIL links to Geography), framed by the communicative approach and a mediation-rich design. The driving question — How can we help a visitor explore an English-speaking city? — gives every task purpose, in line with Willis and Ellis's task cycle (pre-task, task, language focus). Mediation tasks recur throughout: pupils relay directions, simplify a leaflet for a peer and gloss signs, applying the strategies of pointing, gesturing and using a map as support (Council of Europe mediation scales). Work is organised in mixed-ability base teams of 4–5 with rotating cooperative roles (Pujolàs; Johnson & Johnson) — timekeeper, language monitor, materials helper, spokesperson, reporter — alternating with pairs for role-plays and individual Logbook reflection. Scaffolding (Bruner) is graded: model dialogues, sentence frames, word banks, a directions checklist and the gradual withdrawal of support. Abundant realia and maps (city maps, leaflets, signs, the whiteboard, a floor map of the classroom "town") provide comprehensible multimodal input (Krashen) and TPR-style movement (Asher) when walking routes. English-only routines sustain the "English bubble".

Groupings: individual, whole class. Materials: Logbook, self-assessment grid.

Recursos

Material: city maps (London, Dublin, Sydney) and a large laminated wall map; place-and-directions flashcards; tourist leaflets and signs as realia; a floor "town" of tiles; the guide template and route map; the directions checklist and sentence-frame cards; role cards. Digital: interactive whiteboard, a lost-tourist video, audio direction tracks, and the ICT room for designing the guide. Human: the EFL teacher as mediator and model, peer tutoring within teams, the support teacher for adjustments, and the Traveller's Logbook as the portfolio thread.

Espacios

The ordinary classroom is reorganised for cooperation: base-team clusters of 4–5, a clear central floor space for the TPR "town" and maze games, and the English corner for displaying the finished guides. The ICT room is booked for sessions 7–8 to design the guide and map digitally. Movement routes are kept safe and signposted in English. Where weather and supervision allow, a short corridor or playground "directions trail" extends the realia experience beyond the classroom walls.

Atención a la diversidad

Following the Universal Design for Learning framework (CAST; Meyer & Rose) and the inclusive response of Orden 20/2019 and Decreto 104/2018, barriers are removed by design. Representation: maps, flashcards, gesture and audio present directions in several modes, so no pupil depends on text alone. Action and expression: pupils may show understanding by pointing, walking a route, speaking or writing. Engagement: real city choices and team roles sustain motivation. Specific adjustments: for the pupil with ASD level 1, sessions are anticipated with a visual agenda, role-plays use clear scripts and a defined personal space during movement games. For the pupil with dyslexia, place names are colour-coded and paired with icons, fonts are dyslexia-friendly and reading load is eased with audio. For the high-ability pupil, extension tasks add a richer route with conditional directions and a mediator role tutoring peers. The newly-arrived pupil leans on visuals and gesture (Cummins' common underlying proficiency); base teams provide peer scaffolding within the ZPD.

Evaluación

Assessment is continuous, formative and criterion-referenced. Instruments: systematic teacher observation with a checklist; the map-reading and listening worksheets; the cooperative-roles log; the Traveller's Logbook with CEFR I can… descriptors (self- and co-assessment); and an analytic rubric applied to the tourist guide and the live giving-directions task. The rubric below assesses four criteria across four levels.

Criterion Beginning (1) Developing (2) Secure (3) Excellent (4)
Mediation (SC4) Relays the way only with constant help Gives basic directions with some prompting Guides the tourist clearly using a map Mediates fluently, adapting language and support
Comprehension (SC1) Locates a place only with support Finds main places on a map Identifies most details from map/leaflet Interprets full route and signs independently
Guide quality (SC2) Few entries, unclear Basic entries, simple errors Clear, accurate entries and map Rich, well-organised guide and route
Cooperation (SC3) Rarely takes a role Takes a role with reminders Fulfils role and takes turns Leads, supports peers and mediates

Transversalidad

The mission cultivates citizenship and a sense of community: pupils reflect on the services that make a town liveable and on how to welcome a visitor, nurturing empathy and active participation. It contributes to SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by exploring inclusive, walkable, accessible places. Plurilingualism is fostered by comparing English place names and directions with Valencian and Spanish (CP key competence; PEPLI model). Cross-curricular links reach Geography (maps, orientation), Mathematics (ordinals, spatial reasoning) and Arts (designing the guide). Families are invited to view the displayed guides in the English corner.

Wild world: animals, nature and the environment

Descripción

In this fourth Globetrotters mission our young reporters fly off to wild habitats across the English-speaking world, from African savannahs to Australian reefs and British woodlands. The driving challenge is to become "nature reporters" who research an endangered animal and warn the school about threats to our planet. Pupils gather evidence in their Traveller's Logbook and produce a twofold outcome: an illustrated animal fact file (habitat, diet, size, "amazing facts") and a short environmental awareness campaign (poster, slogan and oral pitch). Reading and listening for information drive the whole unit, with soft CLIL Science links and the Sustainable Development Goals as a motivating backbone.

Justificación

This learning situation, framed by Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March and Decreto 106/2022, of 5 August (the Valencian Primary curriculum), develops primarily SC1 — multimodal comprehension: pupils understand the general sense and specific details of short documentaries, fact files and graded texts about wildlife. The animal theme is highly motivating for 11–12-year-olds (Piaget's concrete operations) and lends itself to soft CLIL Science (habitats, food chains, biodiversity, sustainability), where, following Coyle's 4Cs and Cummins (BICS/CALP), language and content reinforce each other. Comprehension is taught explicitly through reading and listening strategies—predicting, scanning for facts, using visual support—lowering Krashen's affective filter and building the confidence needed for the transition to Secondary.

Temporalización

The unit spans 12 sessions over roughly four weeks in Term 2 (February–March), at 3 sessions per week of 45–50 minutes, following Unit 3 ("Around the town"). The first sessions activate prior knowledge and feed rich comprehensible input (videos, flashcards, fact files); the middle block focuses on guided reading/listening for information and the language of comparison and rules; the final sessions are devoted to drafting, peer-reviewing and presenting the animal fact file and the environmental campaign. A closing session consolidates learning and updates the Logbook "can-do" passport, linking to Unit 5.

Competencias específicas

The unit develops the Foreign Language specific competences of RD 157/2022, prioritising SC1, with their assessment criteria:

Specific competence Assessment criteria (selected)
SC1 — Multimodal comprehension (priority) Understand the general sense and key details of oral/written/multimodal wildlife texts; apply comprehension strategies (predicting, scanning, visual support).
SC2 — Production Write a short fact file and a campaign slogan/poster; give a brief oral pitch with rehearsed support.
SC5 — Plurilingual repertoire Reflect on comparatives and cognates across languages; use the Logbook for self-assessment.
SC6 — Interculturality Value global biodiversity and shared responsibility for the planet through the SDGs.

These specify the key competences CP, CCL, STEM, CD, CC and CPSAA.

Saberes básicos

Drawing on the basic-knowledge blocks of Decreto 106/2022 for Year 6:

Dimension Basic knowledge for Year 6
Functions Describing and comparing animals; stating facts; expressing rules, obligation and prohibition; persuading and raising awareness.
Structures Comparatives and superlatives (bigger than, the fastest); present simple for facts (lions live in…); must / mustn't for rules; can/can't for ability; there is/are.
Lexis Wild animals and pets; habitats (savannah, ocean, forest, desert); body parts; diet (herbivore, carnivore); environment, pollution, recycling, endangered species.
Phonics & strategies Word stress in long words; reading/listening for gist and specific facts; graphic organisers.
Sociocultural Biodiversity worldwide; the SDGs; caring for nature.

Criterios de evaluación

Assessment is criterion-based and continuous, aligned to CEFR A1–A2 "can-do" descriptors:

Assessment criterion Instrument CEFR can-do descriptor
Understands key facts in a short wildlife video/text Listening/reading grid; comprehension quiz "I can identify specific information in a short, simple text on a familiar topic."
Locates and compares data (size, speed, habitat) Fact-file research sheet "I can find specific, predictable information in simple everyday material."
Produces an accurate, legible animal fact file Fact file + rubric "I can write short, simple phrases about familiar things."
Delivers a clear campaign pitch with a rule (must/mustn't) Oral pitch + observation scale "I can give a short, rehearsed presentation on a familiar topic."
Reflects on own progress Logbook self-assessment "I can reflect on what I have learnt and set a goal."

Weighting favours comprehension, in line with SC1's priority.

Metodología

The methodology is communicative, inclusive and content-rich, built on soft CLIL and inquiry-based learning. Coyle's 4Cs structure the planning: Content (animals, habitats, sustainability), Communication (language of, for and through learning—comparatives, must/mustn't), Cognition (classifying, comparing, hypothesising about threats) and Culture (global biodiversity and the SDGs). Pupils work as nature reporters investigating a guiding question—"How can we protect endangered animals?"—gathering evidence in the Traveller's Logbook. Reading and listening strategies are taught explicitly: predicting from images, scanning fact files for specific data, using graphic organisers (mind maps, comparison tables, KWL charts) to make input comprehensible (Krashen) and scaffold understanding (Bruner, Vygotsky's ZPD). Cooperative learning (Pujolàs; Johnson & Johnson) underpins every stage through mixed-ability base teams of 4–5 with rotating roles (timekeeper, language monitor, materials helper, spokesperson, reporter); structures such as numbered heads, jigsaw reading and rallytable distribute participation. Groupings rotate between whole-class input, pairs for guided practice and teams for the fact file and campaign, with individual work for self-assessment. English-only routines and the "English bubble" sustain real communication throughout.

Wrap-up: update the Logbook "can-do" passport and set a goal for Unit 5. Groupings: teams, then whole class. Materials: poster card, observation scale, Logbooks.

(Sessions 9–12 consolidate: a comprehension review quiz, a final fact-file showcase, a self/peer-assessment session and links to the English Fair.)

Recursos

Material: animal and habitat flashcards, comparison tables, fact-file and campaign templates, SDG icon cards, poster card and the class library of graded readers on wildlife. Audiovisual: short, subtitled wildlife documentary clips and a sustainability animation for the interactive whiteboard. Digital: tablets/ICT-room computers for guided inquiry, an interactive comparatives game and a class word wall. Human: the English teacher as facilitator, cooperative peer support through rotating roles, and families invited to share at-home recycling habits. Personal: each pupil's Traveller's Logbook with the "can-do" passport.

Espacios

The ordinary classroom is the main setting, arranged in cooperative islands of 4–5 with the English corner and word wall on display and the interactive whiteboard for input. The ICT room hosts the guided digital inquiry (Sessions 6–7), while the school library provides graded wildlife readers for differentiated reading. The corridor or hall serves as a gallery space for the campaign posters and the final showcase, opening the work to other classes and, where possible, to families.

Atención a la diversidad

Following Decreto 104/2018 and Orden 20/2019 and the Universal Design for Learning framework (CAST), the unit offers multiple means of representation, action and engagement. Representation: every text pairs words with images, video carries subtitles, and graphic organisers (KWL, comparison tables) make input accessible; graded reading provides the same fact files at two or three difficulty levels. Action/expression: pupils show comprehension through grids, drawings, gestures (TPR) or speech, and produce the fact file in writing or as labelled drawings. Engagement: the motivating animal theme, choice of endangered species and cooperative roles sustain attention. Specific adjustments: for the pupil with dyslexia, dyslexia-friendly fonts, audio support, extra time and sentence frames; for the pupil with ADHD, chunked tasks, clear visual timers, movement breaks and the active "materials helper" role; for the high-ability pupil, an extension as "expert reporter" producing a richer comparison and a food-chain diagram. The newly-arrived pupil receives bilingual labels, a buddy and visual supports through the Personalised Action Plan (PAP).

Evaluación

Assessment is continuous and formative, using a listening/reading comprehension grid, the fact-file research sheet, an observation scale for the oral pitch and Logbook self- and peer-assessment (two stars and a wish). The fact file and campaign are graded with this analytic rubric:

Criterion Beginning (1) Developing (2) Achieving (3) Excelling (4)
Comprehension of facts (SC1) Identifies few facts Identifies some key facts Identifies most key facts Identifies all key facts and infers
Use of language (comparatives, must/mustn't) Frequent errors hinder sense Some errors, mostly clear Mostly accurate Accurate and varied
Fact file quality Incomplete, unclear Basic, some headings Complete, well organised Complete, rich, original
Campaign pitch & cooperation Reluctant, little teamwork Brief pitch, some teamwork Clear pitch, good teamwork Persuasive pitch, strong teamwork

Transversalidad

The unit embeds environmental education as its core cross-curricular value, addressing the Sustainable Development Goals 13 (climate action), 14 (life below water) and 15 (life on land) through the campaign for endangered species. It develops plurilingualism by reflecting on cognates and comparison structures across English, Valencian and Spanish, strengthening the plurilingual competence of the PEPLI programme. It links naturally to Science (habitats, food chains, biodiversity) via soft CLIL, and to civic and consumer education through recycling and responsible habits. Families are involved by sharing household sustainability routines, reinforcing real, meaningful communication.

Story time: tales, festivals and culture

Descripción

In this fifth Globetrotters mission our young reporters travel through the stories, festivals and traditions of the English-speaking world: British seasonal celebrations, tales from different cultures and the customs that shape them. The challenge is genuinely communicative and intercultural: "Can we bring a story to life for younger children?" Working from listening to and telling tales in the past tense, pupils gather cultural evidence in their Traveller's Logbook and prepare a final product with real purpose and audience: a short illustrated story, dramatised for the younger pupils of the school. Storytelling, festivals and an open intercultural attitude become the heart of the unit, consolidating A1 towards A2.

Justificación

This situation develops primarily SC6 (interculturality), valuing the linguistic, cultural and artistic diversity of festivals and tales across English-speaking countries and fostering an open attitude, and SC2 (production), as pupils produce a short oral and written narrative for a real audience. Halliwell reminds us that children make sense of stories and enjoy meaning beyond every word, so storytelling lowers Krashen's affective filter and provides rich comprehensible input. Telling and dramatising a tale for younger children turns language into authentic communication and culture into lived experience, in line with the communicative and intercultural approach of Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March and Decreto 106/2022 (the Valencian Primary curriculum).

Temporalización

The unit unfolds across 9 sessions during Term 3 (April–May), at 3 sessions per week (roughly three school weeks), each lasting 45–55 minutes. It follows the "Wild world" mission and precedes the closing English Fair, so the dramatised story can later feature there. The sequence moves from input and cultural discovery (Sessions 1–3), through language focus and story building (Sessions 4–6), to drafting, rehearsing and performing (Sessions 7–8), with a flexible reserve session for revision. Classroom-English routines, warm-ups, wrap-ups and ongoing entries in the Traveller's Logbook frame every session, ensuring progression towards the final dramatised story.

Competencias específicas

The unit prioritises SC6 and SC2, supported by SC1 and SC3, specifying the key competences CP (plurilingual), CCL, CCEC and CPSAA of the LOMLOE (Organic Law 3/2020) through the assessment criteria of Royal Decree 157/2022.

Specific competence Focus in this unit Key competences
SC6 — Interculturality Value festivals, tales and traditions of English-speaking cultures; show an open, respectful attitude to diversity CP, CCEC, CC
SC2 — Production Produce a short, comprehensible illustrated story, oral and written, for younger pupils CP, CCL, CE
SC1 — Comprehension Understand the gist and key details of simple narratives and cultural texts CP, CCL
SC3 — Interaction Cooperate in story building and rehearsal with respect CP, CPSAA, CC

Saberes básicos

The contents draw on the blocks of basic knowledge of the Foreign Language area in Decreto 106/2022, selected for Year 6 and oriented towards narrative and culture.

Dimension Basic knowledge for Year 6
Functions Narrating past events; sequencing a story; describing characters and settings; expressing opinions about tales and festivals
Structures Past simple (regular and irregular: played, went, was/were); sequencers (first, then, next, after that, finally); there was/were
Lexis Story characters, settings, feelings; festivals and traditions (Halloween, Bonfire Night, Christmas, Easter, Pancake Day)
Phonics/prosody -ed endings (/t/, /d/, /ɪd/); intonation and expression in storytelling
Culture British and other English-speaking festivals, traditional tales, intercultural comparison with own celebrations

Criterios de evaluación

Assessment criteria are drawn from SC6 and SC2 in Royal Decree 157/2022 and linked to CEFR A1–A2 can-do descriptors and varied instruments.

Criterion (competence) CEFR can-do descriptor Instrument
Recognise and respect cultural diversity in festivals and tales (SC6) I can recognise some festivals and customs of English-speaking countries Cultural mind-map; Logbook
Show an open, curious intercultural attitude (SC6) I can compare a festival with my own with respect Observation rubric
Produce a short narrative in the past (SC2) I can tell a short, simple story using sequencers Story draft; oral recording
Perform/dramatise the story comprehensibly (SC2) I can act out a story so younger children understand it Performance rubric
Sequence events using past simple and connectors (SC2) I can order events with first, then, finally Storyboard; peer checklist

Metodología

The methodology places storytelling at the centre, in line with Halliwell and Krashen: rich, comprehensible, affectively engaging input. The teacher first models tales through Total Physical Response Storytelling (TPRS), drawing on Asher's TPR so that meaning is carried by gesture, mime, props and repetition before production is required. Dramatisation then converts comprehension into expressive production, building confidence and prosody for a real audience of younger pupils. Writing follows a process-writing cycle (planning, drafting, revising and publishing the illustrated story), with peer revision against a shared checklist. Cooperative learning (Pujolàs; Johnson & Johnson) structures the work in mixed-ability base teams of 4–5 with rotating roles (timekeeper, language monitor, materials helper, spokesperson, reporter): groupings move from whole-class modelling to teamwork and pair rehearsal, scaffolded within Vygotsky's ZPD through Bruner's gradual handover of responsibility. Classroom-English routines and the Traveller's Logbook sustain reflection throughout, embedding UDL (CAST) from the outset.

Main: brief TPRS-based rehearsal with props, gestures and storytelling voice; then teams dramatise their illustrated stories for a Year 2/3 class in the hall, and younger pupils respond. Self- and co-assessment with the rubric; celebration and links to the upcoming English Fair. Wrap-up: final Logbook I can… passport entry. Groupings: teams, then whole class with audience. Materials: props, masks, booklets, assessment sheets.

Recursos

Print: graded readers and traditional picture books from the class library, storyboard and writing-frame templates, festival station cards and illustrated-story booklet pages. Props: masks, puppets, hats and simple costumes for dramatisation. Digital: interactive whiteboard for audio tales, festival images and recording short performances; the Traveller's Logbook. Human: the EFL teacher as storyteller and facilitator, cooperative base teams with rotating roles, and the younger host class as the real audience, with support staff coordinated where needed.

Espacios

The ordinary classroom is reorganised flexibly: base-team clusters for cooperative work, a reading/storytelling corner with cushions and the class library for listening to tales, and a clear central space for TPR and rehearsal. Walls display the cultural mind-map and storyboards. The final dramatisation takes place in the multipurpose hall, arranged with a simple performance area and seating for the younger host class, ensuring visibility, safe movement and good acoustics for storytelling.

Atención a la diversidad

Following UDL (CAST: Meyer & Rose) and the inclusive framework of Decreto 104/2018 and Orden 20/2019 (levels of response and the Personalised Action Plan), barriers are removed from the design. Multiple means of representation: stories told with images, gesture, props and audio (multisensory input). Engagement: real audience, choice of role and creative format. Action and expression: pupils may contribute through narration, acting, drawing or props. Specific adjustments: for the pupil with ASD level 1, a clear visual script, predictable routines, advance notice of the performance and an agreed role; for the pupil with dyslexia, sentence frames, audio support, reduced text load, dyslexia-friendly fonts and no penalising of spelling in oral work; for the newly-arrived pupil, the home culture and language are treated as an intercultural asset, sharing a festival or tale from their country, with visual scaffolds and a buddy. The high-ability pupil extends through a richer plot or mediator role, and the pupil with ADHD benefits from active, segmented tasks.

Evaluación

Assessment is continuous, formative and competence-based, combining observation (rotating-roles and intercultural-attitude rubric), the Traveller's Logbook with I can… self-assessment, peer revision checklists, the illustrated-story product and the dramatised performance. The final product is graded with the rubric below; co-assessment by the younger audience promotes metacognition.

Criterion Excellent (4) Good (3) Adequate (2) In progress (1)
Use of past simple and sequencers (SC2) Past forms and connectors used accurately and naturally Mostly accurate with minor slips Frequent errors but understandable Past tense rarely or incorrectly used
Narrative structure (SC2) Clear, well-ordered story with beginning, middle and end Ordered with small gaps Basic order, some confusion Events unclear or disordered
Dramatisation and clarity (SC2) Expressive, audible, fully understood by younger pupils Clear and mostly expressive Understandable with effort Hard to follow
Intercultural attitude (SC6) Shows open, respectful interest and compares cultures Respectful and curious Some interest shown Little engagement

Transversalidad

The unit cultivates intercultural awareness and respect, directly serving SDG 4 (quality education) and SDG 10 (reduced inequalities) by valuing every pupil's cultural background, especially the newly-arrived pupil's. It promotes plurilingualism (PEPLI), inviting comparison of festivals and tales across English, Valencian and Spanish. It links naturally with Arts (illustration, drama, masks) and with the school reading plan through storytelling. The peer tutoring of performing for younger pupils develops empathy and cooperation, embodying the protective ethos of LOPIVI (Organic Law 8/2021).

The Big English Fair: showtime and transition

Descripción

The Globetrotters reach their final destination: home, ready to share their year-long journey with the whole school community. In this closing, integrating project the class plans, prepares and runs a real English Fair / English Day with interactive stalls, performances and exhibitions for families and younger pupils. The challenge —Can we throw an English Fair and show what young globetrotters can do?— mobilises every specific competence and recycles the year's functions and lexis. The final products are the Fair itself, the completed class magazine and each pupil's Traveller's Logbook, reviewed and signed off as evidence of progress towards A2 and as a springboard for the transition to Secondary Education.

Justificación

As the synthesis unit, this situation gives priority to SC5 (plurilingual repertoire): pupils consciously deploy and reflect on strategies built across the year, comparing English with Valencian and Spanish (language awareness). It simultaneously integrates SC1–SC6, since organising a public event demands comprehension, production, interaction, mediation and intercultural sensitivity at once. Grounded in Project-Based Learning and Willis/Ellis (TBLT), the real, audience-driven outcome raises engagement and lowers Krashen's affective filter. Reviewing the Traveller's Logbook develops CPSAA (self-regulation, metacognition) and learner autonomy, while the closing celebration consolidates confidence for the transition to Secondary Education (ESO), the final-year priority of Year 6.

Temporalización

This integrating project spans 10 sessions across the last weeks of Term 3 (May–June), at 3 sessions per week, the closure of the Globetrotters journey and of the school year. Sessions 1–2 launch the challenge and recover prior learning; 3–6 plan and prepare the stalls, performances and exhibition; 7–8 rehearse, complete the class magazine and finalise the Traveller's Logbook; Session 9 is the English Fair with families and younger pupils; Session 10 reviews evidence, celebrates achievement and looks ahead to Secondary. Timing dovetails with end-of-year assessment and the school calendar.

Competencias específicas

The project integrates all six specific competences of the Foreign Language area (Royal Decree 157/2022, of 1 March), foregrounding SC5, with their linked assessment criteria.

Specific competence Linked assessment criteria (RD 157/2022)
SC5 — Plurilingual repertoire Apply and reflect on strategies across languages; compare English with Valencian/Spanish (language awareness).
SC2 — Production Plan and deliver short oral/written/multimodal texts at the stalls and in the magazine.
SC3 — Interaction Cooperate to organise and run the Fair, hosting visitors with courtesy.
SC4 — Mediation Help visitors and peers understand information, simplifying and reformulating.
SC1 — Comprehension Interpret instructions, programmes and visitors' questions.
SC6 — Interculturality Showcase and value the cultural diversity of the English-speaking world.

Saberes básicos

The unit recycles and integrates the year's basic knowledge (Decreto 106/2022, of 5 August), mobilising every block at once.

Block Recycled/integrated knowledge
Communication All year's functions: describing, ordering, giving directions, comparing, narrating in the past; hosting, inviting, thanking.
Plurilingualism Self-regulation and learning-to-learn strategies; cross-linguistic comparison; the I can… passport.
Interculturality Festivals, places and traditions of the English-speaking world presented to the community.
Lexis/structures Cumulative vocabulary; present, past and would like; comparatives; question forms for hosting.

Emphasis falls on metacognition and on consolidating an A2 repertoire usable in real public communication.

Criterios de evaluación

Criteria are gathered through varied instruments, contrasting final attainment against the year's stage review, with CEFR can-do descriptors.

Assessment criterion (RD 157/2022) Instrument CEFR can-do (A2)
Plans/delivers a stall presentation (SC2) Observation rubric I can give a short, rehearsed talk on my topic.
Deploys cross-language strategies (SC5) Logbook + teacher log I can use what I know about other languages to communicate.
Hosts and cooperates at the Fair (SC3) Peer/teacher checklist I can welcome visitors and take part in exchanges.
Mediates for visitors (SC4) Anecdotal record I can help others understand simple information.
Reflects on year's progress (CPSAA) Logbook self-assessment I can review my goals and set new ones.

A final/stage review compares Logbook evidence from Units 1–6.

Metodología

The methodological core is Project-Based Learning: an authentic, public outcome (the Fair) gives purpose to every task and integrates the year's learning, in line with Willis and Ellis (TBLT) and the learning-situation approach of RD 157/2022. Pupils exercise genuine learner autonomy and self-regulation: base teams choose their stall, plan the steps, allocate resources and monitor progress with checklists, while the teacher scaffolds in the Vygotskyan ZPD (Bruner). Cooperative learning (Pujolàs; Johnson & Johnson) underpins the whole organisation of the Fair through mixed-ability base teams of 4–5 with rotating roles (event manager, language monitor, materials helper, host, reporter); positive interdependence makes the event impossible without every member. The European Language Portfolio, embodied in the Traveller's Logbook, frames reflection: pupils revisit their I can… passport, gather final evidence and compare it with earlier units, developing the language awareness at the heart of SC5. Classroom English routines (the "English bubble") govern preparation; UDL principles ensure multiple means of engagement, representation and expression. Grouping flexes from whole class (launch, celebration) to teams (preparation) to individual (Logbook), with English as the working language throughout.

Actividades (sesión a sesión)

Across the project, opening warm-ups revive the English bubble and closing wrap-ups record progress in the Logbook. The final session is the public Fair with families.

Session 1

Wrap-up: set transition goals for Secondary. Groupings: whole class, then individual. Materials: Logbooks, checklists.

The English Fair (Session 9, public) and the review and celebration (Session 10) are detailed under "Spaces" and "Assessment"; in Session 9 every pupil hosts a stall, mediates for visiting families and younger classes, and performs; Session 10 reviews Logbook evidence, celebrates achievement and previews ESO.

Recursos

Materials: the Traveller's Logbook with the I can… passport, planning and self-assessment templates; the class magazine template; stall kits (card, props, games, exhibition boards, posters); a bilingual welcome leaflet and programme. Digital: interactive whiteboard, tablets, printer, audio for performances. Human: the teacher as facilitator; families as Fair visitors and helpers; younger pupils as guests; the parents' association and other staff supporting the event; the English corner and class library of graded readers as exhibition resources.

Espacios

The classroom and English corner host preparation, rehearsals and Logbook work. The English Fair (Session 9) uses the school hall or playground, organised as a circuit of themed stalls around the perimeter, a central performance space and an exhibition wall; signage and a programme guide families through. A welcome desk manages the flow of visiting classes and families; tables are arranged so every base team has its own clearly labelled station.

Atención a la diversidad

Grounded in Universal Design for Learning (CAST) and the inclusion framework of Orden 20/2019 and Decreto 104/2018, the project offers multiple means of engagement, representation and expression. The wide range of roles at the Fair guarantees that everyone contributes meaningfully: the pupil with dyslexia uses visuals, oral hosting and dictation tools rather than long writing; the pupil with ADHD takes an active, movement-rich role (event manager, materials helper) with the task broken into short steps; the pupil with ASD level 1 receives an advance script, a clear timetable and a predictable station, with anticipation of the event's sensory load; the high-ability pupil coordinates the programme, mediates and mentors peers; the newly-arrived pupil draws on plurilingual mediation, visual supports and a buddy, contributing through their home language and English. Choice of product, flexible groupings and graded scaffolds support every pace. Transition support is built in: the Logbook review, explicit goal-setting and a "what to expect in Secondary" reflection ease the move to ESO. Adjustments follow each pupil's Personalised Action Plan (PAP) where applicable.

Evaluación

Assessment combines observation rubrics, the Traveller's Logbook with self- and peer-assessment, and the completed class magazine as a portfolio product, set against the year's stage review. The rubric below grades the closing project.

Criterion Achieving (1) Developing (2) Competent (3) Excellent (4)
Stall presentation (SC2) Says a few words with help Presents with prompts and pauses Presents clearly and audibly Presents fluently and engages visitors
Hosting & interaction (SC3) Responds minimally Hosts with support Welcomes and exchanges confidently Leads exchanges and helps teammates
Plurilingual strategies (SC5) Rarely uses strategies Uses some prompted strategies Chooses strategies independently Reflects on and transfers strategies
Logbook reflection (CPSAA) Lists little evidence Reviews some goals Reviews progress and sets goals Evaluates the year and plans for ESO

A final/stage assessment triangulates Logbook evidence across Units 1–6; the self-assessment of the Logbook certifies progress towards A2.

Transversalidad

The Fair opens the classroom to the community and families, embodying SDG 4 (quality, inclusive education) and SDG 17 (partnerships) through cooperation between pupils, families and the parents' association. Plurilingualism is celebrated as English meets Valencian and Spanish in a bilingual welcome and visible cross-language reflection (PEPLI). The closing review prepares the transition to Secondary Education, fostering autonomy and confidence. Soft CLIL links surface across the stalls —Science, Arts, PE and the Social area— making the event a genuine synthesis of the whole curriculum and of the Globetrotters journey.
