For more comprehensive contents and objectives in the foreign language class

Abstract

This article shows the results of descriptive - interpretive research, with approximations to the quantitative approach, whose aim was to know whether  in English classes at public schools of Cartagena  both diverse and integrated contents are used, in accordance with aims orientated towards the integral formation of the students. The results show the predominance of the linguistic contents on communicative, cultural and educational ones, as well as little coherence with aims orientated towards the integral formation of the students.
