INTRODUCTION
This Didactic Unit is based on the family. It has been designed for first cycle of primary but we can also apply it in the second cycle of primary education by increasing the difficulty of the activities and vocabulary.
We have chosen this theme (“My Family”) to illustrate how important it is for us to know the family structure. It is important for children to talk about their families in both Spanish and English. Further more they like to know how they can call their family members in another language other than their own as is the English.
This Didactic Unit also helps teachers to establish a friendly atmosphere in the classroom in order to create a feeling of respect and cooperation, and to encourage the pupils´ self-esteem
