In order to show how to make a unit planning from this perspective, the researcher exposes different authors that have studied the communicative approach and the integration of the four language skills. (Brown, 2000; Harmer, 2007; Richards, 2006; Scrivener, 2005). A survey was undertaken by 7th grade students of a subsidized middle-class school located in Santiago. These students used to have classes from a grammar translation approach, however, the survey showed that students wanted to learn the language from a communicative approach so they can use it for personal purposes, and what motivated them during classes. To accomplish this purpose, a lesson planning with these characteristics was developed and it is to be implemented during 16 pedagogical hours, the results are as shown below.
