“…There are some obvious benefits of using role plays in the context of implementing the syllabus of the discipline "FL". They provide students with the opportunities to express their hidden feelings, to discuss personal matters and challenges, to understand psychological basis of other people's social behaviour and motivation, to concentrate attention on the particular topic, to reveal main social problems and dynamics of group influence, to have quick feedback both for teachers and students and learn how to hold control over feelings and emotions [3,4].…”

“…Estos materiales pueden ser compartidos por medio de discos compactos (CD-ROM) o dispositivos de almacenamiento USB, ser subidos a páginas web como archivos adjuntos (Dudeney y Hockly, 2008) o incluso ser compartidos con los estudiantes por medio de correo electrónico, ya que la mayoría de las herramientas de autor convierten los archivos al formato HTML, el cual técnicamente se puede abrir en cualquier computadora con sólo tener un navegador de Internet y sin limitaciones de sistemas operativos. En sí, la distribución de estos materiales es muy versátil y simple, lo cual facilita que más personas puedan utilizarlos.…”

ResumenEste artículo describe el diseño y la puesta en práctica de una estrategia didáctica para apoyar el estudio independiente en un grupo de estudiantes de comprensión de lectura en inglés durante un semestre en la Universidad de Costa Rica. Para este fin, se diseñaron diez pruebas de práctica interactivas para el estudiantado con la herramienta de autor "Hot Potoatoes." Estas pruebas se pusieron a disposición de los estudiantes en una página web personal del docente con al menos una semana de antelación a cada evaluación formal del curso. Después de esto, se administró un cuestionario con dos preguntas cerradas y tres preguntas abiertas para que los estudiantes valoraran esta experiencia. Los resultados obtenidos señalan que las principales ventajas para el apoyo al estudio independiente son la preparación efectiva para las evaluaciones del curso, la correspondencia entre el contenido impartido y el evaluado, el reforzamiento de conceptos y la facilidad del trabajo virtual.

For this purpose, ten interactive practice tests were designed for the students using the authoring tool called "Hot Potatoes." These tests were made available for the students on a personal web page owned by the teacher at least one week prior to each formal evaluation of the course. After this, a questionnaire was administered to the students for them to assess this experience. The obtained results indicate the main advantages to support independent study are the effective preparation for the evaluations of the course, the correspondence between the content taught and evaluated, the reinforcement of concepts, and the ease of virtual work.

“…They either present those available on the Internet or show how they can be useful for listening and speaking practice (Chinnery, 2006;Dudeney & Hockly, 2007;Rosell-Aguilar, 2007). An evaluation of learners' perceptions towards podcasting and their expectations has not yet been undertaken, which should be considered in choosing to use podcasts in classroom.…”

The use of podcasting has attracted the attention of teachers because it is content-rich and is of wide general interest. Users can listen to podcasts via the Internet or download them on to a portable music player. Some also offer video or animation to make the contents more interesting and easier to understand. Accordingly, podcasts that tend to focus on the use of vocabulary can be very effective in language learning. They help learners hear how to pronounce their words clearly and use them appropriately. In addition to the benefit of its multimodal facilities, the main advantage of podcasting lies in the variety and the control it provides. Many podcasts provide an authentic context including those which are vocationally orientated. In other words, learners can access podcasts linked to their field of study or interest. Therefore, this research project explores how podcasts in an ESL (English for specific purposes) environment can be used with foreign language learners. It then discusses learners' perspectives of podcasts related to certain subjects. Finally, it proposes a number of suggestions for practical strategies and techniques for teaching English through podcasting.
