These guidelines for the project outline the key steps and strategies for implementation. However, they must be adapated and contextualized according to the unique challenges and opportunities of the community context or area. 
​
Fase 1. Planeación
Momento 1. Identificación
Content:
Use of various English texts that promote the preservation and conservation of languages.
​Learning development process:
Learners investigate and create proposals in English to conserve and preserve languages as a legacy and sense of belonging and disseminate them through mass media.
Problem:
The main problem of not promoting the preservation and conservation of languages is the loss of cultural and linguistic diversity, which can lead to homogenization and a decrease in intercultural understanding.
​Project: Brochure.
Momento 2. Recuperación
Use open-ended questions to assess prior knowledge
These could be some  open-ended questions:
  1. Can you name three endangered languages around the world?
  2. Why do you think it is important to preserve endangered languages?
  3. How do you think mass media, like television and radio, can contribute to the conservation and preservation of endangered languages?
  4. In your opinion, what role can schools play in ensuring that teens learn and appreciate endangered languages?
Use a mind map to assess prior knowledg
These could be some main branches:
  • Introduction to Endangered Languages (Definition and criteria for endangerment).
  • Importance of Language Preservation (Cultural heritage, Identity and Sense of belonging).
  • Current status of Endangered Languages (Statistics and Geographical distribution).
  • Threats to Endangered Languages (Globalization, Language Shift, Lack of Documentation).
