Enhancing learners’ awareness traditions through a proposed task-based syllabus

Abstract

English classes at a not-profit foster home in Engativa were not sequential nor structured and it was affecting the grades of the students. Moreover, participants expressed their lack of interest in the English classes because they considered them boring. After doing a needs analysis of the needs of this foster home, I decided to design a task-based syllabus proposal that will help students to improve their English level through a familiar context and environment such as the traditions and customs of the participants. This research project is the description of the design of the task-based syllabus proposal to improve the English classes in a not-profit foster home, enhancing learners’ awareness traditions with the purpose to give students a familiar context and contribute in their Cultural identity formation.
