Teaching EFL in a Peruvian public school

According to the OTP de Inglés from the Peruvian Ministry of Education, the Area of English (EFL) aims to help strengthen secondary students' communicative competence by learning English as a foreign language. The competencies describe the performance that students must achieve at the end of the EBR (K12) and are sequenced and graduated considering the complexity of grades of study. 

Besides, three macro skills are developed through the English subject:

  1. Oral comprehension and production (Listening & Speaking)
  2. Written text comprehension (Reading)
  3. Written text production (Writing), which are strengthened through interactive activities

Sara Meza, a Peruvian English teacher, works in a public secondary school where the OTP is applied. She has wisely recorded an inspiring video in order to show her outstanding daily work. Expressing advice using should and should not is the aim of the lesson. 

Watching it brings back lots of memories from those days teaching English at school and, even more importantly, training pre-and in-service English teachers. I am so proud of her. She shows us her passion for excellence, constant innovation, commitment to developing her teaching, and satisfying Peruvian students' needs, expectations, and much more.

I am looking forward to watching other similar videos from Peruvian colleagues.
