Pedagogical Approach
N owadays it is important to become proficient in English Language in all spheres, from fields
related to workplace and school to traveling around the world. Both learners and teachers
must prove their abilities regarding the acquisition of new vocabulary, phraseology, terminology
grammar and vocabulary has become less valid and a more realistic view about language, based
on the supremacy of lexis over grammar is advocated.
and as a final step, test the level of mastery of the language with exams supported by recognized Successful language is a wider concept than accurate language. Emphasis is on successful
certificates. This means that we are continually developing the four main skills of any language, communication not grammatical mastery.
while in most cases we forget about grammar, we can consider it as a main skill as well, since it is
related with the production of written and oral language. Language is not learnt by learning individual sounds and structures and then combining
them, but by an increasing ability to break down wholes into parts. We can also use whole

to assess separately the writing tasks (Cambridge Exams). This grading involves all the aspects of
grammar – variety of tenses, passive forms, modals, conditionals, prepositions, reporting, inversion, Noticing and recording language patterns and collocations.
etc. Moreover, grammar is bound up with the meaning and effect of what we write and say; it
gives us the words to talk about our choices, preferences, mood and tone. For different discourse Grammar is acquired by a process of observation, hypothesis and experiment. That is, the
situations we apply different sentence patterns, vocabulary layers and structures. Consequently, Observe-Hypothesise-Experiment cycle replaces the Present-Practise-Produce Paradigm.
the due level of grammar competence helps us to realize the rule of 5Cs, which make our speech
clear, correct, concise, coherent and cohesive. Grammar exploration instead of grammar explanation.
The majority of publishing houses currently issue ESP or EGP coursebooks supplemented by grammar First and second language comparisons and translation —carried out chunk-for-chunk,
sections (Language Reference) which give more practical usage of grammatical rules and target rather than word-for-word— aimed at raising language awareness.

CONAMUN
The Model of United Nations is a transversal project that aims to develop skills such as the critical
thinking, public speaking, debate techniques and social awareness, all using the English language.
CONAMUN project was developed with 50 students from 4 different Conalep Campuses
Atizapán I
Ciudad Azteca
Cuautitlán
Tultitlán
It’s a students led project that helps students to develop collaborative work and interact with
different students and learn different ways of thinking.
Many of today’s leaders in law, government, business and the arts – including at the UN itself –
participated in Model UN as students, that means this project certainly helps students to improve
their life plan in the future and obtain better job opportunities.
