Prlogo
Corrientes es una provincia plurilinge. No todos los nios correntinos aprenden a hablar el es-
paol como lengua materna, muchos hablan guaran, algunos portugus, y aprenden espaol en
la escuela primaria.
Hace algunos aos, la enseanza del ingls tambin se hizo realidad en la escuela primaria En este
contexto tan diverso, aprender y ensear una lengua extranjera como el ingls, no es tarea simple,
especialmente si existen dificultades para acceder a los recursos.
A menudo, los libros de ingls estn contextualizados en pases de habla inglesa e intentan refle-
jar la cultura de los pases anglosajones. Sin embargo, este libro, MADE in CORRIENTES ENGLISH
BOOK 1 es completamente diferente ya que toma a nuestra provincia, nuestras costumbres y cul-
tura como punto de partida. Es un libro de ingls hecho por docentes correntinos para colegas y
estudiantes correntinos.
Sus personajes, Santi y Andy, junto a sus familiares y amigos, y en especial, junto a Tincho, el
Carpincho, nos ayudarn a saludar en ingls, a describir a nuestras familias, a describir nuestros
gustos y preferencias, a contarle a otra persona sobre nuestra ciudad y muchas otras cosas ms
utilizando la lengua inglesa.
A travs de actividades entretenidas que fueron cuidadosamente diseadas segn los conceptos
de las teoras de inteligencias mltiples, la inteligencia emocional, y con mucho aporte de las neu-
rociencias, nuestros nios podrn aprender ingls a la vez que desarrollarn distintas habilidades
cognitivas. No caben dudas que este libro no tiene desperdicio.
MiC English Book 1 ha surgido del contacto de los tcnicos del Ministerio de Educacin con los
docentes de toda la jurisdiccin. Es una respuesta a la necesidad de contar con recursos adecua-
dos a nuestra realidad, como lo expresarn los docentes de ingls en mltiples capacitaciones.
Ser docente, no es un trabajo que cualquiera pueda llevar adelante porque para ser un buen do-
cente se necesita mucho ms que conocimiento, se necesita compromiso y conviccin. El docente
comprometido es aquel que continuamente investiga, busca recursos y comparte ideas con otros
colegas para mejorar sus prcticas ulicas. El docente que hace la diferencia es aquel que puede
tocar las almas de sus estudiantes.
Este es un libro que refleja el compromiso de nuestros docentes para con la educacin de nues-
tros nios, que son nuestro futuro. Desde el Ministerio de Educacin estamos convencidos de
que todo el esfuerzo que realicemos hoy por ellos dar sus frutos maana.
Por ello celebramos esta obra como la primera de muchas por venir. Porque la educacin es ac-
cin y en Corrientes, vamos para adelante.
