Resumen
[ES] Este Trabajo de Fin de Máster está dividido en dos partes: teórica y práctica. El objetivo principal de la sección práctica es determinar los contenidos curriculares requeridos en el desarrollo de la unidad didáctica ‘Good Times’ diseñada para cuarto curso de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, siguiendo la normativa establecida por el Real Decreto 111/2016, del 14 de junio. Está basada en una metodología innovadora, explícitamente el Aprendizaje Basado en Tareas. En el marco teórico presento una revisión histórica de los principales métodos de enseñanza de lenguas, desde los tradicionales a los más innovadores. Además, se presta especial atención a la Enseñanza Comunicativa de Lenguas (ECL), Competencia Comunicativa y el Aprendizaje Basado en Tareas. Finalmente, llego a la conclusión de que el principal objetivo de las lenguas es la comunicación. Por consiguiente, es una necesidad promover la ECL para que los estudiantes puedan adquirir las competencias necesarias para enfrentarse al mundo real.
[EN] This MA Thesis is divided into two parts: theory and practice. The main aim of the practical section is to determine the required curricular contents in the development of the didactic unit ‘Good Times’, designed for the fourth year of Compulsory Secondary Education, following the regulations established by Real Decreto 111/2016, de 14 Junio. It is based on one of the most current methodologies in language teaching, explicitly Task-Based Learning. For the theoretical framework a historical review of the main language teaching methods is presented, moving from the traditional ones up to those more innovative. Furthermore, special attention is paid to Communicative Language Teaching, Communicative Competence, and Task-Based Learning. Throughout some research, I reach the conclusion that the ultimate goal of languages is communication. Consequently, it is a necessity to promote communicative language teaching so as students can acquire the required skills to face the real world.
