A nuestras y nuestros colegas

El gran maestro Luis Beltrn Prieto Figueroa, en su obra El magisterio americano de Bolvar,
resalta el valor que el Libertador daba al aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras. Al respecto, el
maestro Prieto acota que Bolvar se quejaba que sus contemporneos vean con desdn la
literatura francesa y propona estudiar la lengua francesa de preferencia y dos lenguas extranjeras,
el ingls para la ciencia y el alemn para la guerra. Doscientos aos despus, el ingls, el tercer
idioma ms hablado del mundo como lengua materna, despus del chino mandarn y del espaol,
se ha convertido en el vehculo universal para la divulgacin del pensamiento cient6co, el trato
diplomtico, las negociaciones y, en general, para las relaciones entre hablantes de otras lenguas.
Desde sus inicios, el Estado revolucionario bolivariano ha considerado una prioridad la
proteccin y promocin de nuestra diversidad cultural, dentro y fuera de nuestras fronteras, y
por ello elev estas aspiraciones al rango constitucional. En materia lingstica, de hecho, se ha
concretado el reconocimiento de la diversidad de nuestras lenguas indgenas, como o6ciales,
junto con el castellano, en los territorios donde stas se hablan. Por otro lado, tal como reza el
artculo 100 de la Constitucin de la Repblica Bolivariana de Venezuela, a la par de la rea6rmacin
local de nuestras lenguas vernculas, valores y culturas, tambin aspiramos a proyectarnos fuera
de nuestros lmites territoriales:
Artculo 100. Las culturas populares constitutivas de la venezolanidad gozan de atencin especial,
reconocindose y respetndose la interculturalidad bajo el principio de igualdad de las culturas.
La ley establecer incentivos y estmulos para las personas, instituciones y comunidades que
promuevan, apoyen, desarrollen o #nancien planes, programas y actividades culturales en el pas,
as como la cultura venezolana en el exterior. (CRBV).
Para cumplir con el cometido de proyectarnos fuera de nuestros lmites, la enseanza
del ingls, a travs de textos propios, a6nes a nuestra realidad social y cultural, juega un
papel estratgico fundamental.
Con este libro, el primero de la serie Victory, hemos concretado el anhelo de disponer de
un texto, en cuya elaboracin tuvimos presentes nuestra realidad y diversidad. Esperamos que
nuestros/as colegas docentes y estudiantes encuentren en My First Victory la oportunidad de
ver en el ingls no slo una lengua a travs de la cual podemos participar de la llamada cultura
global sino, tambin, un medio para proyectar, valga decir, mundializar, la riqueza de nuestra
diversidad cultural.

Estructura del texto


Unidades y lecciones
My First Victory consta de ocho unidades divididas en tres lecciones. Cada leccin se compone
de varias secciones, ideadas con un propsito metodolgico espec6co. Por ello, es importante
no alterar su secuencia. Las lecciones se inician con la seccin Lets explore!, donde se presenta
un dilogo, a travs de una historieta ilustrada, en la cual se integran todos los contenidos a
ser estudiados (vocabulario, estructuras gramaticales y funciones comunicativas). Esta seccin
cumple el propsito de motivar el inters y la re@exin sobre el tema de la leccin. Por ello
sugerimos activar los conocimientos previos de las y los estudiantes, a travs de una discusin
colectiva inicial, en castellano, sobre situaciones de su contexto familiar y/o comunitario que
guarden relacin con la historia.
Es importante, estimados(as) colegas, detenernos en este punto: el uso del castellano como
base para abordar y construir el conocimiento de la lengua extranjera. A lo largo de muchos aos,
se ha difundido el lugar comn que se debe evitar el uso de la lengua materna en la enseanza
del ingls pues, supuestamente, as el/la estudiante aprender a pensar en esta lengua. Es por
ello que en la mayora de los textos, incluso en aquellos que han sido elaborados en el pas, se
prescinde completamente del castellano. Sin embargo, en la prctica docente, surge la necesidad
de recurrir a su uso en las clases, sobre todo en los primeros aos, especialmente para explicar
estructuras gramaticales. Al respecto, es pertinente recordar que el mtodo directo, reacio en sus
principios al uso de la lengua materna y, por ende, de la traduccin, comenz a perder vigencia
en Norteamrica y Europa desde la tercera dcada de pasado siglo XX y demostr su ine6cacia,
sobre todo, en contextos educativos formales donde, adems de la escasa exposicin natural a esa
lengua, se dispone de pocas horas para la enseanza del idioma. En My First Victory adoptamos el
enfoque comunicativo, que no descarta el uso de la lengua materna si sta resulta til, sobre todo,
en la primeras etapas de aprendizaje. Por ello, en este primer libro, las orientaciones se presentan
en castellano a lo largo de casi todo el texto. No obstante, en la ltima unidad (lecciones 22, 23 y
24) estas orientaciones se sustituyen por sus equivalentes en ingls.
El cuerpo central de la leccin comprende una serie de actividades dirigidas al trabajo
particularizado de las cuatro destrezas (escuchar, leer, hablar y escribir). En las dos secciones
denominadas Lets listen, read and say se presentan contenidos parciales del dilogo inicial, con
el propsito que los/las estudiantes comiencen a familiarizarse con el vocabulario y su uso, en
situaciones familiares para ellos. Entre estas partes se intercalan una o dos secciones ilustradas de
vocabulario, que llamamos: Lets read and learn, las cuales se desarrollan ms tarde a travs de un
ejercicio de comprensin de lectura: Reading and re.ecting y uno de comprensin auditiva: All ears!
Para el diseo de las actividades presentes en My #rst victory, hemos prescindido de
vocabulario pasivo, tratando, en todo momento, de construir el conocimiento a partir de los
contenidos impartidos, los cuales se reciclan a lo largo de todas las lecciones, mientras se
incorpora lxico, forma y funciones nuevas. Cuando lo hemos considerado pertinente, agregamos,

ocasionalmente, traducciones incidentales. En ello, la incorporacin de palabras cognadas del


espaol y del ingls, fue de gran utilidad.
Los aspectos gramaticales se introducen en la seccin Building blocks, la cual se abre
con una actividad de re@exin, orientada a activar los procesos de induccin y deduccin.
La siguiente seccin, Now, lets practice, contiene ejercicios de aplicacin de las estructuras
gramaticales estudiadas.
La seccin Lets re@ect and create! marca el momento de aplicar todo lo aprendido en la
leccin y de hacer un uso ms creativo e independiente de los contenidos trabajados a lo largo de
las actividades previas a esta seccin.
Al 6nal de la mayora de las lecciones, se presenta la seccin More fun!, en la cual proponemos
la realizacin de alguna actividad ldica relacionada con el contenido impartido. En las lecciones 9,
18 y 24, las cuales deben coincidir, aproximadamente, con el 6nal de cada lapso, sustituimos esta
seccin por otra que hemos denominado Either we invent or we err; en ella sugerimos una serie de
proyectos, que integran los contenidos de varias lecciones.
Guiones de la seccin All ears!
Los textos de los ejercicios de comprensin auditiva de la seccin All ears! estn disponibles
al 6nal del libro, para que puedan ser ledos por el o la docente. Esperamos poder contar en el
futuro con grabaciones de estos textos en formato digital.
Glosario
Al 6nal del libro se ofrece un glosario con una compilacin del vocabulario utilizado en el
texto, traducido y ordenado alfabticamente.
Esperamos que este texto rinda los frutos para los cuales fue elaborado y que Uds., colegas
docentes, lo disfruten, extrayendo de l el mejor provecho, apoyados en sus propias estrategias
didcticas, su creatividad, su entusiasmo y, sobre todo, en su amor por nuestros estudiantes.

A los y las estudiantes de la patria


Querida y querido estudiante, My First Victory ha sido
elaborado como una herramienta para ayudarte a
ingresar al mundo de las lenguas extranjeras, a travs del
estudio del ingls, idioma que seguramente te resulta
familiar por su presencia en pelculas, msica, el internet,
instructivos y en manuales para el uso de artefactos.
A continuacin te ofrecemos algunas orientaciones
que, con el apoyo de tu docente, tu(s) representante(s) y
compaeros o compaeras, puedes utilizar para sacarle
el mayor provecho a este texto.
Cada una de las secciones que se describen a continuacin
contiene orientaciones que aparecern en espaol en la
mayor parte de este libro, pero que sern sustituidas por
orientaciones en ingls en la ltima unidad. Es importante
que las leas con atencin y las comprendas antes de
realizar cada actividad.
Let's explore!
Te recomendamos explorar visualmente el dilogo
inicial. Observa y describe las ilustraciones, tratando de
comprender la situacin, an sin leer el texto. Puedes
comentar en colectivo lo que percibas en este nivel.
Luego, en la seccin Let's listen and read!, tendrs la
oportunidad de escuchar la historia, en la voz de tu
docente, mientras la lees silenciosamente.
Let's listen, read and say!
A travs de esta actividad, comenzars a estudiar parte de
los contenidos de la leccin. Tu docente leer el dilogo,
frase por frase, y los y las estudiantes las repetirn en
forma coral. Te recomendamos escuchar atentamente
para poder aprovechar la lectura.
Now, let's practice!
Una vez hayas concluido la actividad anterior, ya puedes
poner en prctica lo que has estudiado hasta ahora.
Como podrs ver, esta seccin contiene un dilogo para
completar, en el cual se incluyen algunas orientaciones
(en espaol), para facilitarte el trabajo.
Let's read and learn!
Esta seccin puede aparecer dos veces. En ella te
presentamos el vocabulario que has visto hasta ahora o
incluimos vocabulario nuevo, para ampliar el que ya has
estudiado.
Let's listen, read and say!
En esta seccin, encontrars un nuevo dilogo que incluye
todo lo estudiado a lo largo de la leccin. Al igual que

para el dilogo anterior, te recomendamos escucharlo


atentamente y leerlo en voz alta, bajo las orientaciones
de tu docente, para lograr una adecuada pronunciacin.
Reading and reecting y All ears!
Para estas actividades se requiere enfocar la atencin
hacia lo que se lee o escucha. En ambas, vas a realizar
actividades como, por ejemplo: responder True o False
(verdadero o falso) o seleccionar la respuesta correcta
entre varias opciones.
Building blocks
En la seccin Building blocks estudiars los elementos y
las reglas que se necesitan para formar frases y oraciones
y re@exionars sobre su uso.
Now lets practice!
Esta seccin complementa la anterior. En ella encontrars,
por ejemplo, ejercicios para completar, ordenar palabras,
etc., los cuales servirn para aplicar lo estudiado.
Lets reect and create!
Aqu dispondrs de un dilogo para completar en
grupos de dos o tres, en el cual tendrs la oportunidad
de aplicar todos los contenidos estudiados en la leccin.
Es importante que, luego de completarlo, lo practiques
y representes con tus compaeros y/o compaeras ante
la clase.
Did you know? y Keep in mind!
Durante el desarrollo de las lecciones encontraras pequeas
notas, en las cuales se destacan aspectos puntuales. En las notas
Did you know? (Sabas qu?) encontrars aspectos culturales
y, en las que llamamos Keep in mind! (Ten presente!), hallars
recordatorios o especi6caciones relacionados con contenidos
espec6cos de la leccin.
More fun! y Either we invent or we err!
La mayora de las lecciones concluye con la seccin
More fun! (Ms diversin!), en la cual te proponemos la
realizacin de otras actividades divertidas, relacionadas
con los contenidos de la leccin. En las lecciones 9, 18
y 24, esta seccin se sustituye por otra, que hemos
denominado Either we invent or we err (O inventamos
o erramos), en la que te proponemos varios proyectos,
entre los cuales puedes escoger uno y realizarlo en
grupo, con las orientaciones de tu docente. Te animamos
a apropiarte de este texto y a hacer de l tu primera
victoria en el aprendizaje del ingls.
