Presentación El inglés es el tercer idioma del mundo en número de hablantes que lo tienen como lengua materna (entre 300 y 400 millones de personas), así como el tercero más hablado, por detrás del mandarín y el español, si se cuenta también a quienes lo tienen como segunda lengua, que son 200 millones de personas más.

Además, es el idioma predilecto en los medios de comunicación; periódicos y libros son escritos en inglés más que en otro lenguaje, al igual que el 75% de la información en línea.

Activity 1: Comprensión de lectura. Reading Comprehensión La comprensión de lectura es una habilidad compleja, que consta de por lo menos tres componentes: el lector (que utiliza su conocimiento previo para hacer inferencias sobre el contenido de un texto), el texto (que transmite tanto los aspectos lingüísticos como los conceptos que el autor desea transmitir) y la tarea (la demanda cognoscitiva que el lector aporta para comprender el texto y resume para contextualizar. Durante el proceso de lectura estos componentes interactúan y son inseparables. García Jurado Velarde, R. G. (2009).

Reading comprehension is a complex ability that consists of at least three components: the reader (activates prior knowledge, and connect the applicable prior experiences to the reading), the text (that transmits concepts from the author): and the reader set purposes, predict, and decode text (identify word and sentence meanings). Also summarize to bring meaning forward. These components interact and are indivisible.

Propósito: Que el participante pueda comprender el texto en inglés, sobre la importancia de las tecnologías de información en la educación.

Indicaciones: El participante leerá con cuidado el siguiente texto, párrafo por párrafo, para poder contestar las 7 preguntas correspondientes.

Hew, K. F., Lan, M., Tang, Y., Jia, C., & Lo, C. K. (2019). Where is the “theory” within the field of educational technology research?. British Journal of Educational Technology, 50(3), 956-971. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjet.12770

Abstract Critics often characterise the study of educational technology as under‐theorised.

To test this assertion and to determine the extent of this criticism, the present paper reports an in‐depth analysis of the 503 most recent empirical articles published in three selected education‐technology‐related journals (Computers & Education; Learning, Media and Technology; and British Journal of Educational Technology). These journals were selected because they publish studies related to all education settings rather than focusing on only a certain segment such as 8

higher education; they have broad geographical catchment; and they were the most highly ranked journals in terms of their 2017 journal citation impact factor.

The present paper examines how explicitly existing theory was identified in previous research, how theories were applied and how often these theories were advanced in education technology research. In the majority of cases, explicit engagement with theory was absent. Many studies either were wholly bereft of theories or made vague use of theory. Where theory was explicit, the articles were more likely to use theory to conceptualise the research, to inform the data collection or analysis process and to discuss the results. Very few articles reported findings that help us to learn something new about a particular theory (ie, little evidence of theory advancement).

Questions: 1.- How were the assertion and criticism tested? ( ) Conducting a survey ( ) Offering a seminar ( X ) Conducting an in depth analysis ( ) Asking different teachers ( ) Guessing 2.- How many Journals were selected? ( ) None ( ) Five hundred and three ( ) Twenty (X ) Three ( ) Twelve 3.- Why were those Journals selected? ( ) They publish studies on computing ( ) They publish studies on basic education ( ) They publish studies on marketing ( X ) The publish on all education environments ( ) They focus on higher education only 4.- How was their geographical influence? ( ) Very focused ( ) just for the European community ( X ) Very broad indeed ( ) none of the above 5.- Why were they the most highly ranked journals in 2017 ( X ) Journal citations ( ) Articles published 9

( (

) Number of pages ) Number of scientist involved

6.- Critics often characterise the study of educational technology as under‐ theorised because: ( ) Theory was very highlighted ( X ) Explicit engagement with theory was absent ( ) Lack of information ( ) It is deeply studied ( ) It is very confusing 7.- . Many studies either were wholly bereft of theories or: ( ) Presented many theories ( ) Presented no theories ( X ) Make little use of the theory (….) Make use of several hypothesis

1.6 Prepositions. Prepositions are words that link nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence. Prepositions usually describe the position of something, the time when something happens and the way in which something is done, although the prepositions "of", "to" and "for" have some separate functions.

Preposiciones. Son palabras que unen nombres, pronombres y frases a otras palabras en una oración. Generalmente describen la posición de algo, el tiempo cuando algo pasa y la manera en que algo es realizado, aunque las preposiciones “de”, “a” y “para” tienen algunas funciones separadas.

1.7 Conjunctions. Conjunction is the joining together of elements and it is a word that connects sentences, phrases or clauses. An example of conjunction is: classmates coming together to solve a math problem. An example of conjunction is the word "and."

Conjunciones. Son palabras que unen elementos, conectan frases, oraciones y cláusulas. Un ejemplo de conjunción es: alumnos se reunen para resolver un problema matemático. Un ejemplo, la palabra “y”.

10

1.8 Interjections. An interjection is a part of speech that demonstrates the emotion or feeling of the author. These words or phrases can stand alone, or be placed before or after a sentence. Many times, as within the examples of interjections below, you'll notice many interjections are followed by an exclamation point.

Examples: Boo, eh, hmm, aah, oops, yeah, wow, etc interjecciones. Son parte del lenguage que demuestran la emoción o sentimiento del autor. Éstas palabras de frases pueden ir solas ó ir antes o después de luna oración. Muchas veces, con los ejemplos de las interjecciones que siguen, son palabras espontáneas que pronunciamos en un momento determinado para expresar una fuerte emoción. Llevan acento tónico y en un escrito van entre signos de admiración o exclamación. Ejemplos: ¡ah!, ¡uf!, ¡zas!

1.9 Articles: They are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific. English has two types of articles: definite and indefinite. There are three articles: a, an, and the. Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective.

The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader.

Artículos: Son palabras que definen a un nombre como específico o inespecífico.

En inglés hay dos tipos de artículos: definido e indefinidos. Hay tres artículos: un,uno, el ó ella. Van antes que los nombres, o equivalentes de los nombres, ó como un tipo de adjetivo. El artículo definido (the) es utilizado antes de un nombre para indicar la identidad del nombre es conocida por el lector.

1.10. Numbers, Dates, Time. A number is a mathematical object used to count, measure and label. The original examples are the natural numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth.

Número. Es un objeto matemático utilizado para contar, medir o etiquetar.

Ejemplo: son los números naturales: 1, 2, 3, 4 y subsecuentes.

Dates: A date is a specific time that can be named, for example, a particular day or a particular year. What is the date today?

Fechas: Es un tiempo específico que puede ser denominado, por ejemplo, un dia en particular ó un año. ¿Qué día es hoy?

Roth,C.;H.Koenitz. 2017.Towards Creating a Body of Evidence-based Interactive Digital Narrative Design Knowledge: Approaches and Challenges.

ABSTRACT

In the context of this paper we take design knowledge as the methods applied by the creators (for example game designers in the case of games) of interactive experiences in contrast to for example the design of authoring tools or the design of game engines and similar computational systems. Such knowledge about rule-based game design is widespread as evidenced by numerous book publications and many university-level programs of study. In contrast, there is considerable less academic or profesional knowledge on the design of interactive narratives – for example, book publications focused on this topic number in the single digits and in academic programs the topic only exists on the margins. This paper proposes the use of empirical research methods as means to address this situation and examines specific challenges. On this foundation, we introduce a research effort to gather transferable interactive narrative design knowledge and report on a first user study. Finally, we provide guidelines and discuss future research.

Activity 5 Continuar con la comprensión de textos al adquirir conocimientos básicos sobre tecnología de la información en la educación.

Continue reading comprehension activities on basic knowledge on information technology in education. https://medium.com/@iamaguilarjubileen1999/role-of-informationtechnology-in-education-sector-baef822a001e “The role of information technology has resulted in the widening of educational access, giving people the chance to study for a qualification or a new career in their auxiliary time. Information technology (IT) has played a major role in extending the grasp of the education sector. More people who are educated, can now access career trainings and even degree courses online. Most universities now suggest lecturers to place their teaching materials online so that students can access them outside of regular lectures and tutorials. Anyone who has a computer and the will to learn can study for a degree and/or a career change (Jeffels, 2010). The students are going to be educated by the use of information technology in educational institutes because information technology provides more creative teaching plan, lesson plan, and instruction to enhance the knowledge of students. Search engines on internet make the research easier and provide up-to-date information and quick search with only a mouse click. The internet also ensures the student that he/she will have accurate and viable information (Randash, 2010). With education becoming more oriented towards practical aspects rather than the theoretical, and with competition among education providers intensifying, institutions across the world are investing heavily in technology to provide their students with faster, clearer and up to-date information. And, in this internet age, when the competition amongst educational institutions has also gone global, Pakistan‟s educational institutions do not want to lag behind. Most of them now use the latest technology, gadgets and software solutions to enhance and enrich the overall learning experience for students; serve the other stakeholders like parents, effectively; and manage their tangible and intangible resources, efficiently (Pandey, 2011).”

Propósito/purpose: The participant will acquire basic knowledge of information technology in education by reading comprehension of the following text.

Que el participante aprenda nociones básicas sobre tecnologías de información para la educación, mediante la comprensión de la lectura del siguiente texto: 15

Indicaciones/directions: Leer con cuidado, cada párrafo del siguiente texto, para responder las preguntas correspondientes: Read carefully the following text to answer the following questions: Questions/ Preguntas: 1.- What is the result of information technology, IT?

Theme 2. Verb Tenses En esta unidad se abordarán los fundamentos para la conjugación de los verbos en tiempo presente, pasado y futuro. Se revisarán los tiempos: simple present: present continuous, present perfect y present perfect continuous; simple past, past 16

contínuos, past perfect and past perfect contínuos. Simple future, future continuos and future perfect.

Verbos, son palabras (partes del lenguaje) que indican una acción o estado. Es la principal parte de una oración, cada oración lleva un verbo. Hay cuatro tipos principales de verbos: A verb is a word (part of speech) that tells about an action or a state. It is the main part of a sentence: every sentence has a verb. There are 4 types os main verbs: Action verbs. Verbos de acción.

Verbos transitivos son los que pueden tener un nombre unido directamente a ellos. Ejemplo: pegar a la pelota, escribir un libro, contestar una pregunta.

Transitive verbs are those that can have a noun attached directly to them, example: hit ball, write book or answer question.

Verbos intransitivos: son los que no pueden ir unidos directamente a un nombre, necesitan la ayuda de una preposición, como en: caminar a la tienda, cumple con las reglas, proceda con la investigación.

Intransitive verbs are those that cannot attach directly to a noun, they need the help of a preposition, as in walk to the store, comply with the regulations, proceed with the inquiry.

Verbos que no muestran acción: describen sentimientos, deseos, posesiones, emociones y opiniones. Se utilizan en oraciones continuas. Los más comunes son: ser, aparecer , aparecer (existencia), mirar, sonar, oler, gustar, sentir (sentidos), querer, preferir, amar (desear), tener, poseer (posesión), pensar, creer, considerar (opinión), etc No-action verbs are used to describe states, senses, desires, possession, emotions and opinion. Non-action verbs are not usually used in continuous tenses.

The most common verbs are: be, seem, appear (existence); look, sounds, smell taste feel (senses); like, want, prefer, love, (desire); have, own, possess (possession); think, believe, consider (opinion), etc.

Verbos infinitivos, llevan la palabra “to” antres de “it”. Se pueden utilizar de muchas maneras, incluyendo como el sujeto de una oración. Comer, soñar, aprender, etc.

Infinitive verb: a verb with the word “to” in front of it. They can be used in many ways including as the subject of a sentence. to eat, to dream, to learn.

17

Gerundios: son palabras que se forman con verbos pero que pueden actuar como nombres, utilizados después de preposiciones, después de ciertos verbos, ejemplo de jerundios, los verbos contienen la terminación “ando” “endo”: bailando, comiendo, diciendo, leyendo, etc.

Gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but can act as nuns, used after prepositions, after certain verbs. examples of gerunds, notice the verbs they contain, and notice that every single one of them ends in ing. Dancing, telling, reading, etc.

Verb to be El verbo ser o estar puede servir como el principal o como auxiliar.

Cuando es el principal, acopla un sujeto gramatical con u adjetivo (adjetivo predicado), como en: John es grande o el atarddecer es hermosos. O une un sujeto gramatical con otro nombre (predicado), como en Mary es presidenta, o la guerra es un infierno.

O también puede unir una sujeto gramatical con una frase como en: El libro está en la mesa, ó él viene del sur.

The verb to be can serve either as a main verb or as an auxiliary verb. When it acts as a main verb, it typically couples grammatical subject with an adjective (predicate adjective), as in John is big or The sunset is beautiful. Or it couples a grammatical subject with another noun (predicate noun), as in Mary is president or War is hell.

Or it might couple a grammatical subject with a phrase, as in: The book is on the table, or he is from the south.

When it acts as an auxiliary verb, the verb to be forms the progressive tense, as in We are studying grammar, or the passive voice, as in The ball was hit by John.

Cuando actúa como verbo auxiliar, la forma del verbo ser forma el tiempo progresivo, como en: nosotros estudiamos gramática, o la voz pasiva, como en: la bola fue lanzada por John.

Linking verbs are non-be verbs that link a grammatical subject to an adjective (Watermelon tastes good), to a noun (She seems an honest woman), or to a phrase (He looks out of sorts).

Verbos que unen, son los que unen un sujeto gramatical a un adjetivo (la sandia sabe bien) ó a un nombre (Ella parece una mujer honesta), o a una frae (Él se ve fuera de lugar) Auxiliary verb. The fifth kind of verb is not a main verb, but an auxiliary verb, also called a helping verb. It does not form a sentence all by itself. Instead, it hooks up with a main verb and helps it show various tenses or conditions or states, as in By the time I arrived, he had completed the assignment.

18

Vertbo auxiliar. La quinta clase de verbo no es el principal, sino un verbo auxiliar, también llamado verbo de ayuda. No forma una oración en si mismo. Se une al verbo principal y atyuda a mostrar varios tiempos o condiciones o estados.

Ejemplo: Para cuando llegue, el había terminado la tarea.

Soft Skills When thinking about careers, professional advancement, or even job hunting, we usually emphasize so-called “hard skills,” meaning skills that are directly connected to our ability to perform a particular task or do a certain job. These skills can be evaluated or measured, as they are the result of degrees, certificates, specialized knowledge, seminars, continuing education, vocational training, and so on.

24

“Soft skills,” on the other hand, are more difficult to measure or quantify, as they usually do not come from a degree or specialized training, but from life experience, personality, and attitude. They are often called “people skills,” as they typically relate, in some form, to how we deal or interact with other people. For example: Are we able to motivate and lead people? Can we communicate well with others?

Some commonly mentioned soft skills would include, among others: creativity, team work, written and verbal communication, management and leadership, flexibility, and organization. These types of skills are important, as they help to form a well-rounded person and employee. They can provide a competitive edge in a job search. Soft skills are relevant to just about every industry or job, because people are always key, in one way or another.

For both a job-seeker and an employer, these are so-called “transferable skills,” and are highly sought after. The employee can utilize these soft skills across various jobs or settings, and this is also a plus for employers, which look favorably on adaptability and strong interpersonal skills.

Short reading 6 Yellowstone National Park Yellowstone National Park, located in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, was established as the first national park in the United States. The park is a popular destination for visitors who enjoy ecological tourism as it offers forests, mountains, and abundant ecosystems to explore. Some of Yellowstone’s most well-known landmarks are its geothermal hot springs and geysers, the most famous of which is named Old Faithful.

Last fall, Lisa and her friends decided to take a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park. They arranged to stay at one of the park’s many convenient campsites. For their camping trip, they brought their backpacks, sleeping bags, and a cooler of food and drinks. They pitched their tents immediately upon arriving to their campsite.

During their trip, Lisa and her friends hiked the many trails of the park, exploring its natural surroundings. In the forest, they saw a lot of local wildlife. Lisa was surprised to see a family of grizzly bears, some gray wolves, and even bald eagles flying overhead.

Outside of the woods, they admired the beauty of some of Yellowstone’s natural cascades.

Since Yellowstone contains many hot springs and the world’s largest area of active geysers, Lisa and her friends visited many different geyser sites. They even spent an afternoon swimming in Yellowstone’s Boiling River. Of all of the sites, Lisa and her friends agreed that Old Faithful was the most impressive. Lisa and her friends waited patiently for the geyser to erupt. After about 40 minutes, a stream of boiling water over 100 feet tall sprayed from the ground and up into the air. Fortunately, no one got wet!

QUESTIONS 1. Yellowstone is an important national park in the United States because:
