T

he legal principles established in Article 3 of theMexican Constitution, the educational transformation that encourages the National Development Plan 2007-2012 (Plan Nacional de Desarrollo 2007-2012) and the objectives established in Sector Educational Program 2007-2012 (Programa Sectorial de Educación 2007-2012, Prosedu) are the legal foundation that articulate and regulate actions in public education policies in Mexico. Within this framework, takinginto account what General Law of Education (Ley General de Educación) ascribes to the Ministry of Public Education (Secretaría de Educación Pública), the latter has established as Prosedu’s main objective, “to improve the quality of education for the students to attain a better academic performance and have available means to access general well-being and contribute to the development of thecountry”.1 (p. 11). The main strategy to reach this goal in basic education is to “create a comprehensive reform of basic education, focused on the adoption of an educational model

based on competencies, which satisfies Mexico’s development needs in the 21st century”2 (p. 24), with the aim of achieving better articulation and efficiency between preschool, elementary and secondary school levels. Forthese reasons, the National English Program in Basic Education3 (NEPBE, for its initials in English), is based on an approach which aims to foster and develop communicative competence in English as a foreign Language. This fact means focusing on the teaching of social practices and activities instead of the formal knowledge of the linguistic system from a normative view. These practices involveengagement in “reading and writing acts, as well as varied oral exchanges which are meaningful to individuals when the need to understand what others utter or to express what is considered as important arises. Besides, language benefits from systematic reflection on the priority of texts and oral exchanges. Therefore, it is essential to re-direct the subject towards context-based language
