This masters’ dissertation is focused on the development of a unit of work, in this case, the unit 3 ‘Let’s Dive into Ireland’, andit belongs to a scheme of work which goes through other English-speaking countries such as Scotland or United States of America. This unit of work is proposed for students aged 15-16, from the fourth course of compulsory secondary education in Spain (i.e. 4º ESO), and the total duration of the unit of work is of eight sessions, being the two last for evaluation. In this case, this unit of work consists of two parts, first, the theoretical framework, where the following sections may be found: Contextualisation(section 2), the legal framework, objectives, key competences and contentsin section 3, methodology(section 4), attention to diversity (section 6), evaluation(section 7)and ashort conclusion(section 8); the second part, the practical section(i.e. section 5), where all the sessions are presented in templates in order to describe them. Finally, section 10 demonstrates the appendices: the appendix 1shows the students’workand the appendix 2the evaluationsheets. Now, once the unit of work has been introduced, I will justify the importance of teaching English in the stage of Compulsory Secondary Education and the importance of teaching especifically this unit in the level of 4º ESO.
