Guía didáctica: Communicative Grammar III
6.7 Specific guidelines for the learning through competence
In this second bimester, parts 5, 6, 7, and 8 of your textbook will be studied. Remember that these “parts”
of your textbook are called “units” in this didactic guide.
So let’s start this second bimester.
UNIT 5: NOUNS AND ARTICLES: REVIEW AND EXPANSION
Dear student, this is a short unit that tackles the topics of nouns and articles and their use. In each
part, you will find the sections called “Focused Practice” and “Communication Practice” which consist of
activities such as cloze, gap-fill, listening, writing and editing exercises, using structures related to nouns
and articles. Let’s study the first topic:
5.1. Nouns and Quantifiers
The focus here is on the uses of nouns and quantifiers. At the beginning of this unit in the “Grammar in
context” section of your textbook you will read the history text about a modern explorer’s expeditions.
Do the activity “Before you Read” before reading the information. Then read and do the activity “After
you Read”.
When you finish doing this activity, please do the following exercise in order to check your comprehension:
Exercise:

_______________________________________________________________
What did he build the boat for?
_______________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________

After doing the exercise above, you can take a look now at the charts in the “Grammar Presentation”
section. You will see how to form a sentence using count nouns, non-count nouns and quantifiers. After
that read the explanations and examples in the “Grammar notes” section in your textbook.
Until now you have studied how to form sentences using count nouns, non-count nouns and quantifiers.
Now you are ready to work on the exercises in the sections called “Focused Practice” and “Communication
Practice” in your textbook. These activities will allow you to practice the uses of nouns and quantifiers.
