Abstract:

Mexico's foreign language syllabus for elementary education emphasizes "social practice of language",which aims to motivate students to take part in various social activities effectively,both on campus and off campus ones,via the foreign languages they learn.Learning is considered a constructive process in which students are active creators of knowledge.Teachers as experienced users of a foreign language are responsible for creating opportunities for the students to access and use language and for guiding them in the process.There is a strong correlation between the quality of teaching materials and the teaching methods adopted.Teaching materials should be realistic and practical,with a clear purpose,and embody truly useful language patterns.
