Resumen: In this dissertation a unit plan whose main purpose is to develop communicative skills of students will be analyzed. What is intended with the design of this unit is that learners can develop the different skills in a communicative way, which will allow them to increase their motivation and their ability to express orally and in writing using the target language. Therefore, the development of CLT approach will be one of the most relevant bases of this project. The need to establish a communication-based teaching arises after the Practicum Period in which we did not have the opportunity to teach students face to face. Therefore, the contact with the student is lost and they do not have the opportunity to exchange opinions among them in a fluid way constantly. Moreover, another of the needs that has led to the creation of this dissertation was the analysis of a unit plan of a textbook that I carried out for a master's project. This book is focused on grammar and vocabulary aspects while it gets away from fostering communication between students. The unit plan is designed to develop a topic that can be motivating for students such as crime and punishment. During this unit, learners will also put into practice other skills such as their autonomy to learn, group work, cooperation and ability with technologies among others. To develop some lessons, the PBLL methodology will be used, culminating in a final product. Several materials created and adapted will be used in each session. The analysis that appears in this dissertation on this unit plan consists of a theoretical framework, which has been designed taking into account different readings from the master’s degree and outside it, and a curricular framework elaborated following current laws.
