1. MARCO REFERENCIAL Y FUNDAMENTACIÓN
Lengua Inglesa 3 is a general English course aimed to develop learners’ overall linguistic
proficiency in the foreign language for them to achieve an advanced level in all components of
their communicative competence and in all skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening). The
course, which is part of a new curriculum, has been particularly designed to provide learners
with more input and opportunities for them to reflect on their future roles as teachers through
the analysis of multiple examples of tasks and learning situations, while they themselves
develop their linguistic competence.
As teachers-to-be, Lengua Inglesa 3 learners should aim at a level of competence that
will ensure an academically suitable mastery of the foreign language to perform as models for
their own students.
Much of the course materials are designed in conjunction with learners, whose needs,
likes and opinions contribute to the choice of reading resources and speaking prompts. These
decisions are made throughout the course at various points in time during the year.
2. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
(Marcar con una X la opción correspondiente)
2
AIMS
• To help learners develop their linguistic competence from a post-intermediate (B2) to an
advanced, C1-C2 level (CEFR, Common European Framework of Reference for
Languages).
• To draw learners’ attention to the intercultural nature of language learning, and help them
develop intercultural skills, attitudes and knowledge.
• To further develop students' communicative competence in relation to a great variety of
topics, in a wide range of situations.
• To contribute to learners’ formation in the communication strategies (verbal and non-
verbal) that will help them perform successfully in different contexts, before different
audiences and for different purposes.
• To help students achieve independence in their studies.
• To contribute to a more critical approach to spoken and written discourse and, eventually,
to other aspects in their lives.
• To help raise learners’ self-esteem in the use of the foreign language, building up their
foreign identity.
• To provide a tolerant, agreeable and non-threatening learning atmosphere for learners to
feel confident and at ease, and ready to trust their peers for support and collaborative
work.
OBJECTIVES
• To provide learners with opportunities for gaining a solid lexico-grammatical knowledge of
the language so that they can account for its use, structure and function.
• To aid them in obtaining a more complex and thorough understanding of the distinctive
structure and patterning of spoken and written discourse.
• To contribute to learners’ development of the different listening skills involved in the
recognition and understanding of meanings, as determined by sociolinguistic and
pragmatic features of the oral contexts involved (variety, intentions, register, etc.)
• To help learners develop and/or make a wider use of higher order reading strategies that
will enable them to reach understanding independently of word-meaning, resorting to
other cues in the texts assigned.
• To provide learners with opportunities for them to express their thoughts and opinions in
the oral and written modes on a number of topics, with the adequate degree of accuracy
and fluency, and the appropriateness suitable to the context in which they are speaking
and/or writing.
• To help students in their vocabulary acquisition so that they perceive and learn not only
the meaning of words but also the grammatical contexts in which they tend to appear,
the words they collocate with and their relationship to other words with similar
meanings.
• To raise learners’ awareness of the stylistic and register conventions associated with text
types and genres, as well as with features of the context of situation, so that they will
perform appropriately in the foreign language.
• To aid learners in the continuous improvement of phonological features of their spoken
discourse in order to lend their output fluency adequate for a C1-C2 CEFR level.
• To contribute to learners’ integration of their linguistic and metalinguistic skills in their
own teaching practice

4. CONTENIDOS ANALÍTICOS
THE MAIN AXES
The structuring backbone of the syllabus is thematically determined by the selection of 3
units in the course-book, Objective Proficiency (Capel and Sharp, 2013) – OP hereafter. Each
thematic unit in the coursebook is complemented with materials and tasks aimed at the
development of learners’ linguistic abilities in terms of features like the macro-skills,
grammar and vocabulary and their interaction in the lexico-grammar of language, as well as
stylistic issues related to discourse and genre. Below is a table where the different additional
and thematically related materials (TBMs) are detailed per unit (Table 1).

5. PROPUESTA METODÓLOGICA5
LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND ACTIVITIES
a) LUPAs (Language in Use Practical Assignments)
55 Muchas de las actividades que se detallan en la propuesta metodológica han sufrido modificaciones por las circunstancias de ASPO por pandemia COVID-19. Estas modificaciones se detallan en pág. 13, luego del inciso 9. Cronograma tentativo
8
These assignments consist of two parts: a text which is thematically related to one of the
backbone units in the course, on which a set of general understanding questions and more
specific, language-focused issues are asked and an essay writing task. LUPAs typically involve a)
answering questions related to ideas in the text (content) and the way they have been conveyed,
b) explaining usually unknown lexical items and phrases whose meanings can be retrieved from
the context and c) writing an essay on an issue which is thematically related to the units and to
the text they’ve read for a) and b). The prompts are presented in the shape of thesis-statements
learners are expected to defend in argumentative essays of about 300-350 words. The whole
assignment is meant to be carried out in class, without the aid of the dictionary but with the
help of learners’ Individual Mistake Frequency Log (see c) below). Learners are presented with
the numbered LUPAs in section 4. above on the date set for the task/s ( see section 8.b, below).
The aim of these tasks is both to provide learners with exposure to authentic discourse
addressing an educated UK-set audience and to serve as an excuse for both spontaneous and
genuinely communicative language use so they can put across their interpretation of the text.
Learners’ written answers to the questions should be communicatively successful statements,
accurate and appropriate in style and register to the C1-C2 CEFR level. Their correctness in terms
of reading comprehension, however, cannot be – and is not - assessed in terms of ‘right’ or
‘wrong’.
The reading comprehension texts also serve a secondary and important function: they propose
a topic, helping students recall prior knowledge on a subject on which to base ideas for the
argumentative essay. These texts also constitute good models for writing (Richards and
Renandya, 20026: 273). Learners’ production of argumentative texts is developed and assessed
during the year through approximately ten or eleven practical assignments of this type.
These assignments are not graded at the beginning of each of the terms and only as time
progresses are learners’ marks taken into account. This is the case due to the assumption that,
at the beginning of the course they need time to develop and enhance the skills necessary to
pass the tasks successfully, and that practice in the completion of LUPAs, together with class
discussion of common errors, will help them progress in the writing skills necessary to pass.
Teachers correct and oversee each and every one of these LUPAs to keep a record of learners’
typical mistakes and overall learning process. Learners are also invited to re-write and submit
new versions of their production, using teachers’ feedback as orienting comments. Out of the
eleven practical assignments only four/five are considered as ‘graded’ assignments (see
Evaluation in section 6. below).
b) Common error analysis
A selection of 10 to 20 mistakes encountered in learners’ assignments are printed and
distributed for students to analyse and spot the mistakes in them. This activity regularly takes
place after the grading of practical written assignments and is conducive to learners’ growing
perception of their own mistakes, which may pose a major threat to accurate and successful
production in the foreign language.
c) Individual mistake frequency logs
6 “Teaching Reading” in Richards & Renandya, (Eds.) (2002), Methodology in Language Teaching. Cambridge: CUP (273-275)
9
Each learner is encouraged to keep a record of the type and number of impeding mistakes in
their production, provide the correct version and use these logs as aids in the editing phase of
future written assignments. These logs are recorded in a table every time a LUPA has been
graded. Each learner is allowed to have the table with them as a checklist during the writing of
a following assignment, so that they will search the draft copy for similar mistakes, spot them
and correct them, before handing in the assignment.
d) Concordance-line analysis
Learners are encouraged to analyse, with their peers, print-outs of concordance lines obtained
through the online applications, especially when doubts arise in class or in their use of a special
structure, collocation, verb pattern or even vocabulary item. As mentioned above, they are
invited to discover recurrent patterns, collocations and colligations in the samples analysed.
Tasks such as gapped concordance lines or interactive quizzes on selected lines may also be
presented.
e) Small-group discussion of short-short stories, short videos, songs, films and novels
Through a set of questions, learners are guided in the discussion of the main events and topics
dealt with in the chapters of novels or short-short stories read for that session. Later, with the
whole class, the crucial issues are taken up and doubts arising from the reading are cleared up.
The lessons that involve the discussion of novels and micro-fiction are special opportunities for
learners’ practice of their oral skills to convey their ideas spontaneously and meaningfully.
The issues referred to in the films are also discussed in relation to similar, related topics found
in the novels and the micro-fiction analysed in class. Learners are expected to draw connections
among the themes dealt with in these materials.
As with the individual mistake log, learners are given an Oral Feedback Form where feedback on
their oral performance in class (during these small-group discussions) and for the oral mock-
exams is recorded.
f) Grammar revision and tests
The grammar book My Grammar Lab (advanced) (Foley & Hall 2012) has been adopted to further
develop learners’ grammatical competence as an essential tool in their performance in the
foreign language. The whole book has been divided into twelve sets of different units (containing
varied topics and not following the authors’ organization) to guarantee the recycling of topics.
Learners analyse these units at home according to the schedule set at the beginning of the term,
do the exercises in preparation for a revision lesson, where doubts as to the grammatical
features studied are clarified. A few days after, they take a test on those units7. Tests last
approximately 30 minutes and consist of a) a transformations exercise and b) a cloze test both
based the units and exercises in the explanation and exercise sections of the book. Learners are
assessed through these grammar tests, which constitute part of the practical assignments with
a mark, essential to the course requirements (See Evaluation in section 6. below).
g) Article, film and song marathons
7 Originally (2015-2017) there used to be six tests a year, but, at learners’ request, -from previous cohorts- the number of units covered per test was reduced to six/seven and tests were subdivided into more and shorter assessment instances.
10
Learners develop the oral skills necessary to summarise the content of an article by giving brief
presentations to a small group of peers on news items from British and American newspapers
online. The value of this task resides in the brevity of the texts, which allows many topics to be
dealt with in a group and simultaneously in the class. One of the strongest points of this task is
the spontaneous use of language generated. Learners are warned against lifting sentences or
phrases from the original text to this purpose. In each small group learners are to find similarities
and differences among the articles discussed and report back to the whole class or write a one-
sentence-long summary. Additionally, a list of suggested titles for argumentative writing derived
from the discussion of the articles is put forward by each group. The same procedure is followed
with possible films learners are to watch (each a different one) in relation to the corresponding
units. In some cases learners are invited to select a song and add them to an album on Facebook
and present it to their classmates in class, explaining why they consider it is related to the unit,
what issues of work, for example, it deals with and which of its aspects are portrayed.
h) Microfiction
For each unit a set of stories are selected to be dealt with and whose discussion is oriented to
issues related to the unit. The tasks learners are expected to carry out contribute to raising their
awareness as to the multiplicity of interpretations microfiction triggers and encouraging
tolerance of ambiguity and of others’ points of view.
i) Popplets
For learners to work on the vocabulary from the selected units and materials in each TBM, they
are encouraged to use Popplets (popplet.com.), a web tool that contributes to mindmap design,
in order to visually present an interesting presentation where the vocabulary is structured and
organised according to their own criteria. Learners select the vocabulary items and expressions
from the units which they believe are significant to them and design a presentation of these
words in context to be shared with teachers and other learners in the course. For each thematic
unit in the course an individual popplet is designed and published in an album on the Facebook
support group.
j) Tutorials
Individual tutorials are offered, in which learners can consult teachers. They are invited
to submit written assignments which are analysed by both learner and teacher, in an attempt to
draw their attention to typical mistakes they tend to make. These sessions are also open to the
practice of oral skills, so learners can be tutored in the oral presentations of the selected articles.
Learners can choose to attend in groups as well.
On-line tutorials are offered for those who cannot enrol for the other types of tutorials. Learners
contact the teacher and send their written work on-line. Within days feedback is returned with
comments as to what could be improved.
k) Forums, chats, diaries and tasks on the University’s Educational Platform (PEDCO)
and/or Facebook
Learners will be required to engage in online forums on the discussion of the novels, films or
short-short stories. Extra tasks will be up-loaded on the platform/ Facebook for learners to write
more freely and practise the language perceived in the input they receive. They share articles
11
found on the web in relation to the units and topics derived from the novels, and they also
comment on their mates’ selection of pictures, articles, songs, etc.
6. CRITERIOS DE EVALUACIÓN Y CONDICIONES DE ACREDITACIÓN (ver sección al final del
documento por COVID-19)
Since this course aims at the development of a C1/C2 level as described in the Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages, learners need to meet the following criteria,
quoted below as the descriptors for the corresponding level, language component and skill:
Spoken Interaction
▪ Can express him/herself fluently and spontaneously, almost effortlessly. Has a good
command of a broad lexical repertoire allowing gaps to be readily overcome with
circumlocutions. There is little obvious searching for expressions or avoidance strategies;
only a conceptually difficult subject can hinder a natural, smooth flow of the language
(Overall Spoken Interaction for C1, The CEFR Illustrative Descriptor Scales8, p. 83)
▪ Can backtrack when he/she encounters a difficulty and reformulate what he/she wants to
say without fully interrupting the flow of speech (Monitor and Repair for C1, The CEFR
Illustrative Descriptor Scales, p. 80)
▪ Can correct slips and errors if he/she becomes conscious of them or they have led to
misunderstandings. (Monitor and Repair for B2,The CEFR Illustrative Descriptor Scales, p.
80)
▪ Can argue a formal position convincingly, responding to questions and comments and
answering complex lines of counter argument fluently, spontaneously and appropriately.
(Formal discussion for C1, The CEFR Illustrative Descriptor Scales, p. 87)
▪ Can make critical remarks or express disagreement diplomatically. (Formal discussion for
C1, The CEFR Illustrative Descriptor Scales, p. 87)
▪ Can follow up questions by probing for more detail and can reformulate questions if these
are misunderstood. (Formal discussion for C1, The CEFR Illustrative Descriptor Scales, p.
87)
COHERENCE AND COHESION
▪ Can produce clear, smoothly flowing, well-structured speech, showing controlled use of
organizational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices. (Coherence and Cohesion for
C1, The CEFR Illustrative Descriptor Scales, p. 142)
Written Production
▪ Can write clear, well-structured expositions of complex subjects, underlining the relevant
salient issues. Can expand and support points of view at some length with subsidiary
points, reasons and relevant examples. Can write a suitable introduction and conclusion
to a longer report, article, or dissertation on a complex academic or professional topic
provided that the topic is within his/her field of interest and there are opportunities for

12
redrafting and revision. (Written Reports and essays for C1, The CEFR Illustrative
Descriptor Scales, p. 77)
GRAMMATICAL ACCURACY
▪ Consistently maintains a high degree of grammatical accuracy, errors are rare and
difficult to spot. (Grammatical Accuracy for C1, The CEFR Illustrative Descriptor Scales,
p. 133)
▪ Good grammatical control. Occasional ‘slips’ or non-systematic errors and minor flaws in
sentence structure may still occur, but they are rare and can often be corrected in
retrospect. (Grammatical Accuracy for B2, The CEFR Illustrative Descriptor Scales, p. 133)
VOCABULARY CONTROL
▪ Uses less common vocabulary idiomatically and appropriately. Occasional minor slips, but
no significant vocabulary errors. (Vocabulary control for C1, The CEFR Illustrative
Descriptor Scales, p. 134)
With the following criteria in mind, learners’ written production in the course should not
present more than four serious errors in graded LUPAS, in the second term especially. The
following are some of the types of errors considered serious: S-V agreement, double subject,
sentence structure, word- and constituent- order and punctuation, word-formation and word-
category mistakes, verb tenses and verb forms in complex verb phrases.
EVALUATION
I. Regular students
For students to become “regular” they need to have
• passed 70% of graded practical assignments (LUPAs), with the possibility of making up
for one or two at the end of the year),
• passed 70% of the grammar tests administered (with the possibility of making up for the
failed ones by sitting for an integrative grammar test at the end of the year),
• submitted 70% of practical assignments which do not take a mark,
• passed both term-exams or their make-ups.
The final exam for these learners will consist of two parts:
a. a qualifying written part where they will complete reading-comprehension activities
and an essay-writing task on one of the topics dealt with in the units of the syllabus
(in the same format as the one of the LUPAs),
b. an oral part, on the subsequent day to the written exam, which consists of two
sections: 1) a content-focused presentation of a news article of the learner’s
choice, thematically related to the topics dealt with in the units (the article must
be up-dated and, if possible, from British or American on-line newspapers) and,
2) an all-encompassing discussion of the general topics/ themes and characteristics
found in the novels, the micro-fiction stories, videos, songs and the films worked
on in class (see chart on pp 3-4 above). This part takes no longer than 15-20 minutes
in all and resembles the Oral Mock-Exam/s learners have had during the year.
II. Non-attending learners (Alumnos libres)
Following Ordenanza 273/2018, Art. 33, exams for these learners will consist of
13
a. a qualifying written part consisting of a) in-depth reading-comprehension activities
(similar to the LUPAs during the course but with a few more questions) and an
essay-writing task on one of the topics dealt with in the units of the syllabus; b) a
transformations exercise and a cloze test both based on the corresponding Grammar
book (MGL).
b. Learners need to have passed the totality of the sections of this written part. Once this
written part of the exam has been passed, non-attending students will sit the oral
part of the exam on the subsequent day to the written part of the exam, which
is the same as that of regular students (see I, b. above).
7. DISTRIBUCIÓN HORARIA (clases y horarios de consulta)
Lessons: Mondays from 8 to 10, Wednesdays from 8 to 11 and Fridays from 11 to 13
Tutorials: Mondays 12-13 (Zinkgraf), Wednesdays 12-13 (Verdú and Zinkgraf), Thursdays 9-10
(Verdú), and Fridays 9-10 (Zinkgraf).
If learners cannot make it for these possible timeframes, they can re-schedule and meet the
teacher at a more convenient time to them. Learners can also send their written production
for practice by email for the Ts to correct and send back feedback.

CURSADA Y ACREDITACIÓN EN LENGUA INGLESA 3– “Plan de Acción para la continuidad de
actividades académicas COVID-19”, aprobado por Res. 164/2020
En el marco de del ASPO por COVID-19, en la cátedra se han tomado las siguientes medidas
para garantizar la continuidad del cursado de la asignatura:
Clases:
Se han implementado por lo menos dos reuniones por zoom por semana, donde se trabajan
materiales del libro de texto, libro de gramática, la novela seleccionada y material de clase
(TBM1). A tal efecto, se ha publicado a través del grupo soporte de Facebook y a través del
foro de la asignatura de Pedco, las fechas y horarios de dichas reuniones y sistemáticamente
se han subido sus grabaciones a pedco a través de uncoma.videos para que aquellos que no
hayan podido participar puedan ver las grabaciones en su propio tiempo.
Tests de gramática:
Los tests de gramática (basados en la práctica de unidades temáticas organizadas según
cronograma) se están llevando a cabo a través de la plataforma Pedco. A partir del test 3
contarán las notas para la acreditación de la asignatura. Como en todas las oportunidades,
serán considerados ‘aprobado’ si el 70% de las dos actividades que los componen (Cloze y
Transformations) están correctos. Ambas secciones serán realizadas (Cloze) o entregadas
(Transformations) a través de Pedco y están diseñadas para completarse online en un período
estipulado de una hora. Si por cuestiones de conectividad u otros inconvenientes, algunos
estudiantes no pueden realizarlas sincrónicamente, se les habilitan otras opciones. Se prevé
para el segundo cuatrimestre por lo menos una instancia de recuperación para aquellos Tests
desaprobados en aislamiento.
Language in Use Practical Assignments (LUPAs)
Los LUPAs constituyen una práctica contextualizada de lectura crítica y escritura, tanto de
interpretaciones personalizadas en base a un texto temáticamente relacionado con la unidad,
en este primer cuatrimestre TBM1 (Work), como de escritura de ensayos argumentativos. Esta
tarea, que en la presencialidad se realiza en clase durante tres horas, será dividida y ha sido
adaptada para realizarse en dos momentos: PARTE A durante una hora (y media) en “horario
de clase” – se entregan las respuestas a través de la plataforma PEDCO en carpetas a tales
efectos- y PARTE B para entregar hasta un día después (nótese las dos fechas incluidas para
cada uno de los LUPAS en las tablas de arriba). Las fechas para estas actividades se publican
por mes a través de Facebook y del foro de novedades de la asignatura de Pedco.
Para garantizar el proceso de aprendizaje, y ofrecer múltiples instancias de práctica que
permitan a los estudiantes desarrollar habilidades en el tiempo, hasta fin de mayo estas
15
actividades serán considerados prácticos ‘entregados’ pero sin nota. Serán corregidos y se
ofrecerá feedback a través de Pedco también pero las mismas no serán computadas a los
fines de acreditación de la cursada. A partir de LUPA 4 inclusive (10 de junio), estos
prácticos llevarán una nota (aprobado/desaprobado) y contarán para la acreditación. La
aprobación del práctico dependerá del número de errores serios que presente la totalidad del
escrito de los estudiantes (más de 5 errores en el primer cuatrimestre implica ‘desaprobado’).
Se prevé para el segundo cuatrimestre por lo menos una instancia de recuperación para
aquellos LUPAs desaprobados en aislamiento. Si, ante eventuales problemas de conectividad o
de otra índole, algún estudiante no pudiera cumplir con la actividad en la fecha u horario
estipulado, se ofrecerán alternativas para asegurar su realización y entrega.
Parciales
En abril se decidió postergar el parcial (similar en formato a un LUPA) hasta tanto estén
dadas las condiciones para volver a clases presenciales. En las presentes circunstancias y
ante la posibilidad de que no se regrese por el momento a la presencialidad, se prevé
consensuar una fecha del primer parcial para septiembre, luego de que los estudiantes
hayan tenido suficiente práctica escrita (sin nota) luego del receso invernal. Este parcial
respetará la modalidad en que se llevan a cabo los LUPA en el marco de ASPO, es decir, una
parte durante horario de clase y la otra a entregar al día siguiente, ambas a través de Pedco.
Su recuperatorio probablemente tendrá lugar a fines de octubre y el segundo parcial será
definido probablemente para mediados de noviembre, según calendario académico para ese
segundo cuatrimestre.
Tutorials
Desde abril se ofrecen horarios de consulta individuales a los estudiantes, quienes pueden
anotarse en un documento de drive para solicitar horarios disponibles. Se ofrecen doce
turnos de media hora por semana en los horarios de consulta que se estipulan en la sección
7. Distribución horaria para trabajar vía Zoom en los aspectos que los estudiantes soliciten.

Trabajos prácticos por unidad1:
Due to recurrent issues in learners’ productions of plagiarism and unacknowledged quoting
from web pages and sources, the prompts for essays in LUPAs and in the written final exam
have been modified. The prompt now includes a general topic or thesis which learners are
asked to relate to or exemplify by reference to specific materials read and/or watched during
the course. An example is included below:
▪ How going downhill can open doors to new opportunities. Draw on the experiences of
any of the characters from A hundred Names (Ahern, 2012) to illustrate this argument.

EVALUATION – VIRTUAL FINAL EXAMS 2
I. Regular students
The final exam for these learners will consist of two parts:
a. a qualifying written part where they will complete reading-comprehension activities
and an essay-writing task on one of the topics dealt with in the units of the syllabus (in
the same format as the one of the LUPAs),
b. an oral part, two days after the written exam, which consists of two sections: 1) a
content-focused presentation of a news article of the learner’s choice, thematically
related to the topics dealt with in one of the units (the article must be up-dated
and, if possible, from British or American on-line newspapers) and, 2) an all-
encompassing discussion of the general topics/ themes and characteristics found in
the novels, the micro-fiction stories, videos, songs and the films worked on in class
(see chart on page 1 above). This part takes no longer than 15-20 minutes in all and
resembles the Oral Mock-Exam/s learners have had during the year.
II. Non-attending learners (Alumnos libres)
a. Following Ordenanza 273/2018, Art. 33, exams for these learners will consist of a
qualifying written part consisting of a) PART A - in-depth reading-comprehension
activities (similar to the LUPAs during the course) consisting in six questions and
three paraphrases and PART B- an essay-writing task on one of the topics dealt with
2 Los exámenes se llevarán a cabo de acuerdo con lo estipulado en el Protocolo de Exámenes Finales y el Instructivo para Exámenes finales virtuales Lengua Inglesa 3, subidos en el aula de exámenes virtuales de Pedco para la asignatura en cuestión.
in the units of the syllabus; PART C - a cloze test- and PART D - a transformations
exercise, both based on the corresponding Grammar reference book (MGL).
b. Learners need to have passed the totality of the sections of this written part. Once
this written part of the exam has been passed, non-attending students will sit the oral
part of the exam TWO DAYS AFTER THE WRITTEN PART, which is the same as that
of regular students (see I, b. above).
