El Aprendizaje de la lengua como un fin en sí mismo o como un medio para el desarrollo de un saber social y cultural

The following article is a revision, adjustment and update of the Basic Standards of Language Competence (EBC as in Spanish “Estándares Básicos de Competencia) that are being carried out in the country, but their main goal is to overcome the barriers of the last discussions that took place and to be able to propose, in a positive way, some  considerations about setting up standards of an area of knowledge such as language and the implications that this endeavor supposes for the teaching-learning process in the classroom. In the same way, the most important contribution will be to provide tools to go beyond the dichotomy between language teaching as a means itself, towards the challenge of understanding it as a means for the development of creativity and a social commitment with mankind. This permeates oral, reading and writing processes to rethink them from language pedagogy and didactic perspectives, critical-thinking development, the social impact learning these processes should generate, and how they can or “should” be assessed by an internal or external Government school system. The conclusion leaves us with some thoughts about the need to recover the teaching role as that of an intellectual committed with a language social and cultural teaching approach to make expected learning possible.
