PRELIMINARES 3
“Una competencia es la integración de habilidades, conocimientos y actitudes en un contexto específico”.
El enfoque en competencias considera que los conocimientos por sí mismos no son lo más importante, sino
el uso que se hace de ellos en situaciones específicas de la vida personal, social y profesional. De este
modo, las competencias requieren una base sólida de conocimientos y ciertas habilidades, los cuales se
integran para un mismo propósito en un determinado contexto.
El presente Módulo de Aprendizaje de la asignatura de Job Interview, es una herramienta de suma
importancia, que propiciará tu desarrollo como persona visionaria, competente e innovadora, las
características mencionadas se establecen en los objetivos de la Reforma Integral de Educación Media
Superior que actualmente se está implementando a nivel nacional.
El Módulo de aprendizaje es uno de los apoyos didácticos que el Colegio de Bachilleres te ofrece con la intención
de estar acorde a los nuevos tiempos, a las nuevas políticas educativas, además de lo que demandan los
escenarios local, nacional e internacional; el módulo se encuentra organizado a través de bloques de aprendizaje
y secuencias didácticas. Una secuencia didáctica es un conjunto de actividades, organizadas en tres momentos:
Inicio, desarrollo y cierre. En el inicio desarrollarás actividades que te permitirán identificar y recuperar las
experiencias, los saberes, las preconcepciones y los conocimientos adquiridos a través de tu formación, mismos
que te ayudarán a abordar con facilidad el tema que se presenta en el desarrollo, donde realizarás actividades
que introducen nuevos conocimientos dándote la oportunidad de contextualizarlos en situaciones de la vida
cotidiana, con la finalidad de lograr un aprendizaje significativo.
Posteriormente, se encuentra el momento de cierre de la secuencia didáctica, donde integrarás todos los
saberes que aplicaste en las actividades de inicio y desarrollo.
En todas las actividades de los tres momentos se consideran los saberes conceptuales, procedimentales y
actitudinales. De acuerdo a las características y el propósito de las mismas, éstas se desarrollan de forma
individual, grupal o en equipos. Para el desarrollo del trabajo deberás utilizar diversos recursos, desde
material bibliográfico, videos, investigación de campo, etc.
La retroalimentación de tu aprendizaje es sumamente importante por eso te invitamos a participar
activamente, de esta forma aclararás dudas o bien fortalecerás lo aprendido; además en este momento, el
docente podrá tener una visión general del logro de los aprendizajes del grupo.
Recuerda además, que la evaluación en el enfoque en competencias es un proceso continuo, el cual
permite recabar evidencias a través de tu trabajo, donde se tomarán en cuenta los tres saberes: el
conceptual, procedimental y actitudinal con el propósito de que apoyado por tu maestro mejores el
aprendizaje. Es necesario realizar la autoevaluación, ya que este ejercicio permite que valores tu actuación
y reconozcas tus posibilidades, limitaciones y cambios necesarios para mejorar tu aprendizaje.
Así también, es recomendable la coevaluación, proceso donde de manera conjunta valoran su actuación,
con la finalidad de fomentar la participación, reflexión y crítica ante situaciones de sus aprendizajes,
promoviendo las actitudes de responsabilidad e integración del grupo.
Nuestra sociedad necesita individuos a nivel medio superior con conocimientos, habilidades, actitudes y
valores, que les permitan integrarse y desarrollarse de manera satisfactoria en el mundo laboral o en su
preparación profesional. Para que contribuyas en ello, es indispensable que asumas una nueva visión y
actitud en cuanto a tu rol, es decir, de ser receptor de contenidos, ahora construirás tu propio
conocimiento a través de la problematización y contextualización de los mismos, situación que te permitirá:
Aprender a conocer, aprender a hacer, aprender a ser y aprender a vivir juntos.

Let’s review what we know
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
Irregular verbs are an important feature of English. We use irregular verbs a lot when speaking, less when writing.
Of course, the most famous English verb of all, the verb "to be", is irregular.

■■ GRAMMAR
“Even if” emphasizes that something will happen, would happen not matter if there was conditions
to prevent so. Because we are using second conditional we use past tense in the sentence where we
use “even if”.
Even if we had booked our flight earlier, it wouldn’t have been cheaper.
Structure
Even if + Pronoun/noun +verb (past tense) + predicate, Pronoun + would +verb (infinitive) + predicate
We can use could in the if-clause to express ability, possibility or permission, using the past tense.
First, we can use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going to be true.
Second, we can use it to talk about something in the present which is impossible, because it’s not
true Structure.
Unless is a word which is used to say an event is going to happen but there might be something that
can prevent the success of happening. As a second conditional we use the past tense in the sentence
which explains what happened in the past which prevented an event.
For example:
I wouldn’t eat that food unless I was really hungry.
Structure:
Pronoun+ would+ verb (infinitive)+ predicate, unless + verb (past)+ predicate.

Why is it important to know the regular and irregular verbs in past? How can you learn
verbs so that you never forget them?
40
Lengua Adicional al Español 4
* HANG - Hang has two different meanings. The first is "to attach (or hang) something in a high position"
(e.g. on the wall or on a hook). In this case we use the above verbs Hang-Hung-Hung.
BUT when Hang means "to kill someone by putting a rope around someone's neck and leaving them in a
high position without any support", we use different verbs: Hang-Hanged-hanged. This verb is typical of
public executions in the past. (e.g. They hanged him in the main square.)
* LIE - Lie has two meanings. When it means "to put your body in a horizontal position" (normally on a
bed) it uses the Lie-Lay-Lain verbs.
BUT it is regular Lie-Lied-Lied when it has the other meaning of "not to say the truth".
* READ - Even though they are written the same, the pronunciation is different in the Past Tense and
Past Participle form.

GRAMMAR
You may have noticed that in English, past tense verbs with an -ed ending are pronounced in
three different ways:
• [t]
• [d] or
• [Id].
For example, if I say the past tense verb “walked“, as in, “I walked away,” what is the last sound that
you hear in the verb?
• “Walked” [wakt]
1) The -ed verb ending sounds like a [t], “Walked” [wakt], even though it ends in the letter
And when I say, “visited”, as in “I visited New York City”, how did I pronounce that “-ed” ending?
• [Id] [vizitid].
3) The -ed verb ending sounds like [ɪd], [vizitid].
44

This lesson teaches you the three rules that explain the differences in past tense verb “-
ed” pronunciation. But don’t be surprised if most Americans can’t explain these rules to
you! The truth is, Americans make these changes in sound without even noticing.
–> When we pronounce voiced sounds, our vocal chords vibrate when we say those
sounds. [v] [z]. Did you feel the vibration?
–> When we pronounce voiceless sounds, our vocal chords do not vibrate. [f] [s]. No
vibration.
This vibration or lack of vibration then carries forward to the following sound in the
word. Therefore, this vibration or lack of vibration explains why we pronounce the
past tense of verbs in three voiced or voiceless ways: [t], [d] or [Id].
45
BLOQUE 2 Describes experiences
[g] “He begged her to stay.” [bɛgd]
[ð] “She breathed loudly.” [briyðd]
[v] “They loved it.” [luvd]
[z] “We raised her expectations.” [reyzd]
[dʒ] “They bridged the gap.” [brIdʒd]
[m] “I claimed it was mine.” [kleymd]
[n] “They banned new members.” [bænd]
[ŋ] “She banged into the chair.” [bæŋd]
[r] “He cleared it up.” [kliyrd]
[l] “I rolled up the paper.” [rowld]
H-Deletion
The same rule of connected speech [c+v] occurs when h-deletion causes us to delete
the “h” sound at the beginning of a word.
Example
“We raised her expectations” [reyzd] –> “We raizd er expectations” –> “We raizdər
expectations”
We deleted the “h” in “her”, then connected the speech from “raised” and “er”, which
became “raisder”.
46
Lengua Adicional al Español 4
We use the present perfect verb tense instead of the simple past when:
1. We talk about something that happened in a non-specific, general time in
the past; and
2. This action may have some connection, continuation or significance to
the present.
Form
To form the present perfect verb tense, use the present tense of “have”:
Example
• “He has developed several mobile apps already.”
Note that when speaking, Native English speakers will often de-stress (delete the
“h” in) or contract the verb “have” or “has” and attach it to the subject before it to
speak with greater efficiency and music.
How to Contract and De-stress the Verb “Have” or “Has”
• “I have” –> “I’ve”

GRAMMAR
Prefer and would rather can be used interchangeably, when we are talking about general
preferences, prefer is followed by verb-ing, thus:
· I prefer listening to music to watching TV.
· I’d rather listen to music than watch TV.
‘d rather
However, when we are talking about specifics, would rather is used as an alternative to would prefer
to followed by an infinitive. Would rather is very common in spoken English and is often abbreviated to
‘d rather. It is used in this form with all personal pronouns:
Note that would rather is followed by a bare infinitive without to, whereas prefer requires to +
infinitive. Would rather (but not would prefer to) is also followed by a past tense when we want to
involve other people in the action, even though it has a present or future meaning. Study the following:
1-Shall we go out for dinner tonight? ~ No, I’d rather we ate at home, if you don’t mind.
2-Shall I write to Harry and tell him that we’ve sold the car? ~ I’d rather you didn’t.

GRAMMAR
Infinitives and gerunds are noun forms. If used before the main verb, they are the subject of the verb;
after the main verb, they are the object of the verb.
Examples:
Verb + infinitive (A):
In addition, some verb phrases take gerunds e.g. carry on (doing something), or put off (doing
something). Also, infinitives may be used after a number of adjectives, e.g. happy (to do something) or
determined (to do something), or other structures.

Similar accusations of banned drug use also took place at the Tour de France bicycle race
last month. Several riders tested positive for a performance-improving drug. And, in the
final week of the race, the leading cyclist Michael Rasmussen of Denmark was expe-
lled on suspicion of taking banned drugs. The International Cycling Union said there were
more cases of doping in the Tour de France this year because there was more testing.
An American professional football player is also in the news. Last week, Michael Vick told a court in Richmond,

Virginia, he was not guilty of charges connected to an illegal dog-fighting business. The charges include
extreme cruelty to animals. Federal investigators say they found fight dogs and other evidence on Michael
Vick's property in Virginia earlier this year. A defendant who pled guilty in the case has agreed to speak against
Vick in court in return for a lesser sentence. Several sporting goods companies that had paid Vick for the use of
his name have en-ded their business relationship with him. And an animal rights group, the Humane Society, is
urging the National Football League to suspend Vick from play.
Finally, some bad news in professional basketball. United States federal officials are investigating former National
Basketball Association referee Tim Donaghy. The referee enforces the rules and keeps order in the game. He can stop
play if he calls a violation by a player and turn the ball over to the opposing team. Donaghy is being investi-gated for
betting money on basketball games, including some in which he was a referee.He resigned last month.

Comment about this (emos, darks, goths, punks, snobs, etc.) and get ready to
begin with this unit Project.
1. Through a brainstorming, discuss urban groups that exist in your community. In teams, discuss the
characteris-tics of these urban tribes and choose one specific tribe to begin with the project of this unit.
2. Organize the research to be done and assign specific roles to each of your team members to accomplish this task.
3. Prepare the presentation for the class, using your creativity and following the indications of the teacher (war-
drobe, make up, organization of the information, etc.)
URBAN TRIBES
Urban tribes are made up by groups of people – usually young, with a distinct common identity: the same aesthetic
codes, the same identity symbols, the same rules, the same language, the same music… A whole ideology!
These tribes hold many different beliefs. Some of them are nearly extinct, and others in full expansion.
But all of them are ruled by their own ideology.

Read the following text and answer the following questions.
Women in the U.S. got one of their first tastes of the working world during World War II. The men went to war,
and the women went to the factories and offices. Though the women returned to their homes after the war, they
didn't remain there for long. The social changes of the 1960s and 1970s caused a cultural revolution that found
many women pursuing careers outside the home. In recent years, more men have expressed a desire to take on
the role of primary caregiver to the children.
That doesn't mean these changes have been easy. Men have had to struggle with what masculinity means to
them if they're not the sole breadwinner. Women have to deal with making less than men in wages and a
difficult time advancing to the highest positions within a company. Women are also subjected to the "Mommy
Wars" -- a set of battles between working moms and stay-at-home moms in which each side declares that the
other side is irrepa-rably harming their children.
And while the recession may have forced more men to stay home, they didn't necessarily pick up the bulk of the
housework or childcare. The New York Times reported that unemployed dads spent about as much time caring
for their children as their working counterparts did; the laid-off dads made finding a new job their foremost
priority. This state of affairs is probably not unfamiliar to working moms, who have long dealt with the so-
called "second shift," in which they come home from their stint in the professional world only to spend just as
much time coo-king, cleaning and caring for children.
Though change is still in the air, there's no doubt that men and women's roles have become less strictly defined,
and many families have made the male and female roles more egalitarian when it comes to jobs, housework and
childcare.
