<p>For tenth graders, the Chilean English as a foreign language curriculum proposed by the Ministry of Education -MINEDUC- shows how important is to speak in English in a globalized world; nevertheless, to achieve this goal students have to express themselves through short monologues and dialogues applying some grammar structures and/or vocabulary; that is, the lesson are grammar-focused and, most of the times, teacher-centered. As a consequence, students cannot develop their communicative competence since these monologues and dialogues are too far from the real world outside the school. The current pedagogical proposal aims at filling this gap through the use of speech acts so as to bring real-life situations into the Chilean classrooms. This project is based on a notional/functional syllabus since students will learn about the functions accomplished when English is used, and on a task-based syllabus for students to perform these functions in a more real context</p>
