-school programming (p.40):
Specific Competency 1
Describe and value linguistic and cultural diversity by recognizing the languages of the students and the multilingual, multicultural, and intercultural reality. This aims to facilitate linguistic transfer, identify and reject linguistic stereotypes and prejudices, and value this diversity as a source of cultural richness.
Specific Competency 2
Understand and interpret oral and multimodal texts in the standard language, grasping the general meaning and the most relevant information, along with their form and content. This is to build knowledge, form opinions, and expand opportunities for enjoyment and leisure.
Specific Competency 4
Understand, interpret, and analyze written and multimodal texts with a critical sense and for different reading purposes. Recognize the overall meaning and the main and secondary ideas, identify the sender's intention, reflect on the content and form, and evaluate their quality and reliability. This is to build knowledge and respond to diverse communicative needs and interests.
Specific Competency 5
Produce written and multimodal texts with appropriateness, coherence, and cohesion by applying basic strategies of planning, writing, revision, correction, and editing. This involves peer regulation and progressively autonomous self-regulation, adhering to the conventions of the chosen discursive genre. The goal is to build knowledge and respond in an informed, effective, and creative manner to specific communicative demands.
Specific Competency 6
Search for, select, and compare information from different sources with increasing autonomy, evaluating its reliability and relevance based on reading objectives. This includes avoiding the risks of manipulation and misinformation, and integrating and transforming the information into knowledge to communicate it. This should be done while adopting a critical, personal perspective and respecting intellectual property.
