<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Throughout history the way
learners acquire the foreign languages and being able to reproduce it orally
and in a written form, were and still are a topic of research. As Laufer
M.(2000: 58) points out<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Theories of the
nature of language, and of how people<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>learn languages, have always been of concern<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>not only to those engaged in theoretical
study, but also to languages teachers and materials writers”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 122.65pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">So, in my view since the
Grammar Translation Method, one method that favors the English language
acquisition effectively is the Communicative Approach because it takes as a
main factor the reality of communication, how it takes place outside the
classroom and also, the reality of learners as they exist outside and inside
the classroom. Learners acquire and develop the language through different
communicative activities that allow them mainly to improve the oral skills.
Also, I as a teacher should assume a daily responsibility for determining and
responding to learner language needs playing the role of a facilitator of the
content and allowing my students to be the center of the learning process,
being the main focus of the attention.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">As to my learners language needs, through the revision of my students’
files and their observation in class, I found out that the most of my students
needs are academic. One of the reasons is that they are not native English
speakers and the other is that most of them had never been exposed to the
language before, so the lack of linguistic skills in English is highly evident.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Another language need is related to cultural background and this is a
relevant issue that should be taken in account, there is a girl from Japan who
is afraid of speaking in front of the class. As it is known, teaching languages
is not as easy as it seems to be; because in this learning cycle, not only
skills are involved, but also sociocultural aspects. According to Byram, et al
(-: 4) it has been widely recognized in the language teaching profession that
learners need not just knowledge and skill in the grammar of a language but
also the ability to use the language in socially and culturally appropriate
ways. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It was a challenge from the beginning to get that particular student
involved in every lesson, so I thought about different ways for getting to know
her better. I did some research about the Japanese culture, family behavior,
the way they express their emotions and feelings and I learned that the more I
know about where my students come from, the easier my job will be. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Additionally, regarding
students’ needs it was also a challenge to work with a student who has ADHD
which demanded more differentiation strategies to be used and collaboration
with the learning support teacher in charge of this student.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">From my overall experience of planning and
preparing the lesson, an aspect that facilitates active learning, and motivates
and encourages the students towards the language acquisition is identifying
students’ learning styles. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Students
process and learn new information in different ways, so, while designing the
lesson and choosing the materials, I need to take this in mind. </span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In this sense, as I have
visual learners in class, I have selected some DVDs resources related to the
Unit topics. Using those DVD in class makes learning more interesting, dynamic
and motivating. They allow learners to d<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">evelop<i> </i>listening skills, to get new and relevant vocabulary and
to </span><span style="color: black;">reinforce grammatical structures. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Also, by means of some
communicative activities like role plays, dialogues, dramatizations and games
planned as part of the Unit, the students will acquire and develop not only the
linguistic skills, but also their creativity because peer interaction increases
motivation towards the language’s acquisition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Another activity that I
planned and carried out that my students enjoyed very much was to invite my
students’ parents to make oral presentations in class about typical food and
traditional recipes according to their home countries. From my view, this
activity highly enhances the self-esteem of the kids and generates more
motivation towards the acquisition of the language and their spontaneous
participation in class. Students learn from this activity that if their parents
are able to communicate their ideas with no fear of making mistakes, they can
actively participate without thinking in mistakes or errors because what
matters is communicating and improving daily the target language. In this
sense, the classroom atmosphere is a significant issue that I took into account
when I was planning the learning sessions, because it could favor or not
learners’ acquisition of the language. It is important for me to create an
encouraging classroom atmosphere where my students talk freely, sharing their
own experiences without feeling frightened because of their pronunciation, nor
proper use of grammatical structures or vocabulary. I, as a teacher, should
provide any arrangements in class facilitating learners to feel nice and ready
for every enjoyable English lesson. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">To conclude, it can be said
that the successfully acquirement of the target language does not depend only
on a particular method or approach the educators follow to teach the content,
but also on many factors, such as the teachers’ experience, background and
knowledge regarding the language, the sociocultural context and the students’
needs, interest and learning styles. Additionally, in a successful English
lesson, both students and teachers should learn from each other in a happy
atmosphere that facilitate teachers come closer to students and know them
better as students and as individual persons. </span></div>

English language to EAL students is not an easy issue when you should deal with
students with different needs, learning styles, cultural backgrounds and level
of English. Due to there are beginners, intermediate and advanced students, you
as a teacher should spend more time organizing and planning how the
differentiation process will carry out during the lesson; so all the pupils in
your class will be encourage to participate and learn, no matter what level of
English they have. </span></div>

<br />
As I mentioned before, I am teaching English to Lower School students specifically to EAL (English as an Additional Language) students from Grade 2, and each day I am enjoying more and more the tasks we do together in class.<br />
<br />
It’s fascinating seeing how quickly they learn new things and develop different English skills during the teaching-learning process.<br />
<br />
Through my Blog, I would love to show some Weekly Lesson Plans, I have used for teaching English to EAL Grade 2 students with the resources included.<br />
<br />
Hope, you find them useful for your job. <br />
<br />
Please feel free to send me any comments you like regarding my Lesson Plans. <br />
<br />
I would also love to hear about any similar experience you have had as an EAL teacher.<br />
<br />
Remember one thing, if you enjoy teaching and you do it with love and passion, your students will acquire knowledge easier and faster as if they were playing and not learning. They could feel as if they were learning a new language seating in a comfortable sofa at home!<br />
<br />
Thanks! I will be in touch again!<br />

<br />
<br />
I’d like to share with you an issue regarding the publishing of my MA dissertation as a Book by LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing in Germany. The title is "Using a Blog for training teachers to integrate videos in class". The project number is 72017 and the ISBN is 978-3-659-29663-5.<br />
<br />
The issue concerning how to use videos in order to improve the English lessons has motivated the author to focus on this subject. Therefore, the main objective of the dissertation is to gain in depth knowledge and understanding about the use of videos in English lessons. <br />
<br />
So, please take a look at it and send me your comments.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

<br />
I know it is been a long time you don’t hear about me, but I have done some professional changes that maybe you would like. I am not teaching University students at the moment as I used before, I am trying to go deeper into Lower School now, due to, this is an issue I wanted to do since a long time ago. <br />
<br />
So now on, most of the research I do will be regarding teaching English to Lower School students. I just started teaching English to Lower School students and it’s great to see how much and fast they learn by means of different strategies. <br />
<br />
At the school I am teaching now, there are multicultural classroom, students from everywhere learning from each other and having fun at the same time, but it’s also very challenging for teachers when planning the lessons to take in mind each student’s difficulty and learning styles. <br />
<br />
In Grade 2 class, for instance, I have to face with students who don’t have the same level of English. For example, sometimes you could find in the same class a student who is able to communicate perfectly but has many problems in writing, or another one who is very good at spelling but he is not fluently when speaking in English language. <br />
<br />
Another issue is related to the way students learn and the kind of activities teachers should bring into class for helping them to acquire the language easily and motivated. I order to support this issue, the use of different printed materials and online resources have highly contributed to a better acquisition of the English language. So, these aspects among others have motivated me to start writing about how Primary English teachers could improve their lessons and make them more motivated and fun. So by means of my Blog I will show some Weekly Lesson Plans I have already used for teaching English to Lower School Students (Grade 2) with the resources included. <br />
<br />
I will also post some materials Primary teachers could use for teaching English to their students. I will briefly mention in my Blog, my experience up to now, as an EAL (English as an Additional Language) teacher.<br />
<br />
Also, I will post some comments related to In Class Support Activity (it is another activity I do in class, working together with the Mainstream teachers, giving support to EAL students). <br />
<br />
Well, this is all for today! Hope the materials you find in the Blog related to this new area, helps you to improve your work at Primary level.<br />
<br />
I’d love so much, keeping in touch and get some feedback from you as well. I am sure; you have lots of good ideas and experiences to share not only with me but with the whole Primary English Teachers community. <br />
<br />

I would like to share with you some of my students' project work that include lot of information,graphs, images, tables among other issues related to the Eye disorder selected.<br /><br />I will add some of their pictures later on.<br /><br />Hope keeping in touch and looking forward to see your comments!<br />Thanks,<br />Yordanka <br /><br />Members:<br />Idania Nuñez Glez<br />Kenny Barbeyto Jimenez<br />Carlos Enrique Delgado Paredes <br />Adrian Garcia Moya <br /><br />Havana City<br />2012<br /><br />DiabeticRetinopathy<br /><br />Introduction<br /> A rare disease until 1921, when the discovery of insulin resulted in a dramatic improvement in life expectancy for patients with diabetes mellitus, it is now a leading cause of blindness in the Cuba. The retinopathy of diabetes takes years to develop but eventually appears in nearly all cases(see Fig. 1). Regular surveillance of the dilated fundus is crucial for any patient with diabetes. In advanced diabetic retinopathy, the proliferation of nonvascular vessels leads toblindness from vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, and glaucoma. These complications can be avoided in most patients by administration of panretinal laser photocoagulation at the appropriate point in the evolution of the disease.<br /><br />Diabetic retinopathy, the most common diabetic eye disease, occurs when blood vessels in the retina change. Sometimes these vessels swell and leak fluid or even close off completely. In other cases, abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina.<br />The retina is a thin layer of light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. Light rays are focused onto the retina, where they are transmitted to the brain and interpreted as the images you see. The macula is a very small area at the center of the retina. It is the macula that is responsible for your pinpoint vision, allowing you to read, sew or recognize a face. The surrounding part of the retina, called the peripheral retina, is responsible for your side or peripheral vision.(see Fig. 2).<br />Diabetes Mellitus is the leadingcause of blindness between the ages of 20 and 74 in the Cuba. The gravity of this problem is highlighted by the finding that individualswith DM are 25 times more likely to become legally blind than<br />individuals without DM. Blindness is primarily the result of progressivediabetic retinopathy and clinically significant macular edema. <br /><br /><br />Objectives<br /><br />1- Look up informationabout Diabetic Retinopathy. <br />2- Delve deeply into the knowledge about symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.<br />3- Know the principal complications and the prognosis to DR.<br /><br />Development<br /><br />Most often, diabetic retinopathy has no symptoms until the damage to your eyes is severe.<br />Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy include:<br />Blurred vision and slow vision loss over time <br />Floaters<br />Shadows or missing areas of vision <br />Trouble seeing at night<br /><br />Many people with early diabetic retinopathy have no symptoms before major bleeding occurs in the eye. This is why everyone with diabetes should have regular eye exams.<br /> There are two types of diabetic retinopathy:<br /><br />1. Background or nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR)<br />Nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) is the earliest stage of diabetic retinopathy. With this condition, damaged blood vessels in the retina begin to leak extra fluid and small amounts of blood into the eye. Sometimes, deposits of cholesterol or other fats from the blood may leak into the retina.<br />NPDR can cause changes in the eye, including:<br /><br />•Microaneurysms: small bulges in blood vessels of the retina that often leak fluid. <br />•Retinal hemorrhages: tiny spots of blood that leak into the retina. <br />•Hard exudates: deposits of cholesterol or other fats from the blood that have leaked into the retina. <br />•Macular edema: swelling or thickening of the macula caused by fluid leaking from the retina's blood vessels. <br />The macula doesn't function properly when it is swollen. Macular edema is the most common cause of vision loss in diabetes. <br />•Macular ischemia: small blood vessels (capillaries) close. Your vision blurs because the macula no longer receives enough blood to work properly. <br />Many people with diabetes have mild NPDR, which usually does not affect their vision. However, if their vision is affected, it is the result of macular edema and macular ischemia.Watch how macular edema and macular ischemia affect your eyes.<br /><br /> 2- Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR)<br />Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) mainly occurs when many of the blood vessels in the retina close, preventing enough blood flow. In an attempt to supply blood to the area where the original vessels closed, the retina responds by growing new blood vessels. This is called neovascularization. However, these new blood vessels are abnormal and do not supply the retina with proper blood flow. The new vessels are also often accompanied by scar tissue that may cause the retina to wrinkle or detach.<br /><br />PDR may cause more severe vision loss than NPDR because it can affect both central and peripheral vision. PDR affects vision in the following ways:<br />Vitreous hemorrhage: delicate new blood vessels bleed into the vitreous — the gel in the center of the eye — preventing light rays from reaching the retina. If the vitreous hemorrhage is small, you may see a few new, dark floaters. A very large hemorrhage might block out all vision, allowing you to perceive only light and dark. Vitreous hemorrhage alone does not cause permanent vision loss. When the blood clears, your vision may return to its former level unless the macula has been damaged.<br /><br />Traction retinal detachment: scar tissue from neovascularization shrinks, causing the retina to wrinkle and pull from its normal position.<br /> Macular wrinkling can distort your vision. More severe vision loss can occur if the macula or large areas of the retina are detached.<br />Nonvascular glaucoma: if a number of retinal vessels are closed, neovascularization can occur in the iris (the colored part of the eye). In this condition, the new blood vessels may block the normal flow of fluid out of the eye. Pressure builds up in the eye, a particularly severe condition that causes damage to the optic nerve.<br />Watch how vitreous hemorrhage affects your eyes.<br /><br />Exams and Tests<br /><br />The health care provider can diagnose diabetic retinopathy by dilating your pupils with eye drops and then carefully examining the retina. A retinal photography or fluorescein angiographytest may also be used.<br />If you have nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, your health care provider may see:<br />•Blood vessels in the eye that are larger in certain spots (called microaneurysms) <br />•Bloom vessels that are blocked <br />•Small amounts of bleeding (retinal hemorrhages) and fluid leaking into the retina<br />If you have proliferative retinopathy, your health care provider may see:<br />•New blood vessels starting to grow in the eye that are fragile and can bleed <br />•Small scars developing on the retina and in other parts of the eye (the vitreous)<br /><br /><br />Treatment<br /><br />The most effective therapy for diabetic retinopathy is prevention. Intensive glycemic and blood pressure control will delay the development or slow the progression of retinopathy in individuals with either type 1 or type 2 DM. Paradoxically, during the first 6 to 12 months of improved glycemic control, established diabetic retinopathy may transiently worsen.(See fig. 3)<br /><br />Fortunately, this progression is temporary, and in thelong term, improved glycemic control is associated with less diabeticretinopathy. Individuals with known retinopathy are candidates forprophylactic photocoagulation when initiating intensive therapy. Onceadvanced retinopathy is present, improved glycemic control impartsless benefit, though adequate ophthalmologic care can prevent mostblindness.<br /><br />Regular, comprehensive eye examinations are essential for all individuals<br />with DM. Most diabetic eye disease can be successfullytreated if detected early. Routine, nondilated eye examinations by theprimary care provider or diabetes specialist are inadequate to detectdiabetic eye disease, which requires an ophthalmologist for optimalcare of these disorders. Laser photocoagulation is very successful inpreserving vision. Proliferative retinopathy is usually treated with panretinallaser photocoagulation, whereas macular edema is treated withfocal laser photocoagulation.<br /> Although exercise has not been conclusivelyshown to worsen proliferative diabetic retinopathy, most ophthalmologistsadvise individuals with advanced diabetic eye disease tolimit physical activities associated with repeated Valsalva maneuvers.Aspirin therapy (650 mg/d) does not appear to influence the naturalhistory of diabetic retinopathy, but studies of other antiplatelet agentsare under way<br /><br /><br />Several procedures or surgeries are the main treatment for diabetic retinopathy.<br />Laser eye surgery creates small burns in the retina where there are abnormal blood vessels. This process is called photocoagulation. It is used to keep vessels from leaking or to get rid of abnormal, fragile vessels.<br />•Focal laser photocoagulation is used to treat macular edema. <br />•Scatter laser treatment or panretinal photocoagulation treats a large area of your retina. Often two or more sessions are needed.<br />A surgical procedure called vitrectomy is used when there is bleeding (hemorrhage) into the eye. It may also be used to repair retinal detachment.<br />Drugs that prevent abnormal blood vessels from growing, and corticosteroids injected into the eyeball are being investigated as new treatments for diabetic retinopathy.<br />If you cannot see well:<br />•Make sure your home is safe so you do not fall <br />•Organize your home so that you can easily find what you need <br />•Get help to make sure you are taking your medicines correctly<br /><br /> Prognosis<br />You can improve your outcome by keeping good control of your blood sugar and blood pressure.<br />Treatments can reduce vision loss. They do not cure diabetic retinopathy or reverse the changes that have already occurred.<br />Once proliferative retinopathy occurs, there is always a risk for bleeding. You will need to be monitored regularly, and you may need more treatment.<br /><br /><br />Possible Complications<br />Other problems that may develop are:<br />•Cataracts<br />•Glaucoma -- increased pressure in the eye that can lead to blindness <br />•Macular edema -- if fluid leaks into the area of the retina that provides sharp vision straight in front of you, your vision becomes more blurry <br />•Retinal detachment -- scarring may cause part of the retina to pull away from the back of your eyeball<br /><br />When you the patient should see goto a doctor<br /><br />Call for an appointment with an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) if you have diabetesand you have not seen an ophthalmologist in the past year.(See fig.4)<br />Call your doctor if any of the following symptoms are new or are becoming worse:<br />•You cannot see well in dim light. <br />•You have blind spots. <br />•You have double vision (you see two things when there is only one). <br />•Your vision is hazy or blurry and you cannot focus. <br />•You have pain in one of your eyes. <br />•You are having headaches. <br />•You see spots floating in your eyes. <br />•You cannot see things on the side of your field of vision. <br />•You see shadows.<br /><br /><br /><br />Prevention<br />Tight control of blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol is very important for preventing diabetic retinopathy.<br />Do not smoke. If you need help quitting, ask your doctor or nurse.<br />You may not know there is any damage to your eyes until the problem is very bad. Your doctor can catch problems early if you get regular exams. You will need to see an eye doctor who is trained to treat diabetic retinopathy.<br /><br />Begin having eye examinations as follows by an eye doctor skilled in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy:<br />•Children older than 10 years who have had diabetes for 3 - 5 years or more <br />•Adults and adolescents with type 2 diabetes soon after diagnosis <br />•Adolescents and adults with type 1 diabetes within 5 years of diagnosis <br />•After the first exam, most patients should have a yearly eye exam.<br /><br />If you are beginning a new exercise program or are planning to get pregnant, have your eyes examined. Avoid resistance or high-impact exercises, which can strain already weakened blood vessels in the eyes.<br />If you are at low risk, you may need follow-up exams only every 2 - 3 years. The eye exam should include dilation to check for signs of retinal disease (retinopathy).<br /><br /><br /><br />Conclusions<br />1.Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease.<br />2.Many people with early diabetic retinopathy have no symptoms before major bleeding occurs in the eye.<br />3.A retinal photography or fluorescein angiography test may also be used.<br />4.The most effective therapy for diabetic retinopathy is prevention.<br />5.The principals’s complications are Cataracts, Glaucoma and Macular edema.<br />6.They do not cure diabetic retinopathy or reverse the changes that have already occurred.<br /><br />References<br />1.

The process of writing suggests that teachers can actually teach students how to write with coherence, an appropriate grammar structure and an acceptable spelling. One of the effective ways to do this is to motivate the students and make them aware of the steps involved in effective writing. <br /><br />The article “Some practical teaching ideas for developing writing skills in ELT lessons” deals with this subject and states some of the reasons about why many University students dislike writing. It also states some ideas about how English teachers could motivate their students to write in class through different activities. <br />If you are interested in reading it, find it online at http://www.gestiopolis.com/organizacion-talento-2/developing-writing-skills-in-english-as-foreign-language.htm<br /><br />The article was written by three Cuban English teachers Mercedes de La Torre Valdés, Amada Iglesias Fernández and myself.<br /><br />Hope you find it interesting and useful for your work! <br />Ill keep in touch!Yordankahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02205042827021735760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457888585602845090.post-44109945177980931852012-02-06T09:35:00.000-08:002012-02-06T10:01:51.710-08:00Online JournalsHello everyone!<br /><br />I guess that, we as English teachers enjoy very much teaching to our students, but this is not the only thing we have to do as really professionals. <br />So as part of our job, we need to do some research about different topics related to our educational context in general. But after spending some time reading, we feel the necessity of writing what we think, so we write articles such as; academic essays. <br /><br />However, in my opinion the most difficult part for English teachers is not only writing articles but also finding where to publish them. That is why, I am sharing with you today some prestigious web sites of journals where I have published my articles and you as English teachers could send your articles as well. <br />I am sending also the emails of each journals’ editor, so you could contact them.<br />Hope this information helps you!<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />1.

It was great sharing with all the scholarships winners, teachers and teacher trainers from all over the world.<br />Thank you IATEFL!<br /><br />This time, I would like to invite all English teachers and teacher trainers to participate in our GELI Conference that will take place in Cuba this year.<br /><br />If you are interested in coming, please let me know using these emails. nayyor@infomed.sld.cu or yordankavalle@googlemail.com<br /><br />I am sending the details now!<br />Looking forward to see you in Cuba.<br />Yordanka Brunet<br /><br /><br />ALC-GELI 20th Annual Convention<br />December 17-20, 2011 <br /> <br /> Havana - Cuba<br /><br />CALL FOR PARTICIPATION<br /><br />The 20th Annual ALC-GELI Convention offers ELT professionals exciting and productive opportunities for professional development.<br /><br />Sessions at the Convention will include:<br /><br />Canadian Studies SIG Open Forum - Papers - Workshops – Posters – Research-<br />Plenaries by Cuban and foreign specialists <br />Submissions are welcomed from teachers, teacher trainers, researchers, program administrators, and material and curriculum developers.<br /><br />Types of sessions <br /><br />a) SIG Open Forum. The SIG Open Forum of Canadian Studies, brings together speakers and audience with a common <br /> interest. Ideas will be presented and there will be opportunities for interactive discussions. The open forum will be led by <br /> a convener and will include a minimum of four other presenters. Although its length will vary according to its own <br /> features, the open forum normally runs for two hours. <br /><br />b) Paper (15 minutes). A paper is most effectively presented as an oral summary with occasional reference to notes or a text. It describes and discusses something that the presenter is doing, or has done in relation to either theory or practice. The presenter often provides handouts and may also use audiovisual aids.<br /><br />c) Workshop (45 minutes). A workshop should include very little lecturing by the leader, the emphasis is on the participants’ activity, which is carefully structured by the leader. The leader works with the participants, helping them solve a problem or develop a specific teaching or research technique. <br /><br />c) Poster Session (1 hour). A poster session allows for individual discussion with participants during the time that a self-explanatory exhibit is on display. The exhibit is presented on a large display board: 4’ x 8; it includes a title, the name and institutional affiliation of the presenter(s), and a brief text with clearly labeled photos, drawings, graphs, or charts.<br /><br /> d) Research (20 min.). Research presentation normally describes and examines in more detail the presenter’s findings <br /> resulting from the careful study of ELT-related issues and concerns involving either small-scale investigative projects in <br /> the classroom (action research) or long-term research.<br /> <br /> e) Plenary (1 hour). There will be plenary sessions given by Cuban and foreign specialists on topics of general interest. <br /> Plenary speakers and topics will be selected by the Organizing Committee from among proposals received.<br /><br /><br /><br />What are the steps in submitting a proposal? <br /><br />These instructions should be read carefully so that the Presenter’s Proposal Form will not be disqualified:<br /><br />There must be no more than two presenters for each proposal. Use the same Presenter’s Proposal Form for both. <br /> <br />One requirement for acceptance of the proposal is to provide an abstract that will appear in the Academic Programme if the proposal is accepted. The abstract helps convention participants decide which presentation will be the most appropriate for their concerns and needs. It should not exceed 150 words and must be written in English.<br /><br />What disqualifies a proposal?<br /><br />1.The Presenter’s Proposal Form is not completed according to the guidelines outlined in this Call for Participation.<br />2.The Presenter’s Proposal Form is not accompanied by the abstract.<br />3.The abstract exceeds 150 words.<br />4.The Presenter’s Proposal Form is not received at ALC Central Office by the deadline of November 12, 2011. <br />5.The proposal has more than two presenters.<br /><br /><br />REGISTRATION<br /><br /> All participants will have to fill in the Individual Registration Form, whether they submit a paper to be presented at the convention or not; thus, presenters will have to submit both the Individual Registration Form and the Presenter’s Proposal Form as well.<br /><br />Please, notice that the deadlines for the submission of the forms are different.<br /><br /><br /><br />For more information, e-mail:<br /><br />Ada Chiappy Jhones, <br />ALC-GELI President<br /> Grupo de Especialistas en Lengua Inglesa<br />Asociación de Lingüistas de Cuba,<br />E-mail: alcgeli@ceniai.inf.cu <br /><br /><br />XX ALC-GELI ANNUAL CONVENTION <br /> Havana, Cuba<br />December 19-21, 2011<br />INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATION FORM<br />(Please return this form by email by October 22, 2011)<br /><br />(Please complete it in capitals)<br />Title: Prof, MSc, PhD or other (e.g. Student) Family Name: ……………….<br />First Name: ………<br />Institution……….……..<br />Address… …………………………………………………… Country: …… <br />Tel: ……………………………. <br />E-mail: …………..……………<br />GELI Member: …….Yes (Show receipt as proof of payment of 2010 membership fee) ……..No <br /><br />Registration Fees and Payment<br />Registration and payment Full Attendance <br /> until October 22, 2011: - Membership Rate: $50 MN <br />Non- Membership Rate: $70 MN (or CUC for foreigners) <br />Student Rate: $15 MN (or CUC for foreigners) <br />Registration and payment Full Attendance<br /> after October 22, 2011 <br /> and until November 12, 2011 - Membership Rate: $60 MN <br />Non-Membership Rate: $ 80 MN (or CUC for foreigners) <br />Student Rate: $15 MN (or CUC for foreigners) <br />I wish to register for (please check)<br /> □ Membership Registration □ Non-Membership Registration <br /> □ Student Registration <br /><br />-The registration fee includes access to the academic event, conference documentation, “Approach” Journal for GELI Members + tea, coffee and snacks at the breaks.<br />- Participants from Havana City MUST hand in personally, to the Registration Officer, both the registration form and fee in cash. <br />Contact Teresita Rojas at “M.

<br />
<br />I would like to share with all the teachers and teacher trainers my Conference about a Blog for training teachers to integrate videos in class. I talked about it last April at the 45th IATEFL Annual International Conference, Brighton, UK.
<br />
<br />If you couldnt see it, I am posting it on my Blog now, so please have a look at it and leave any comment about it.
<br />Thank you!
<br />
<br />A Blog for training teachers to integrate videos in class.
<br />Author: MSc Yordanka Brunet Valle
<br />English Teacher Trainer
<br />Havana Medical University
<br />Faculty “Calixto Garcia Iñiguez”
<br />Havana city, Cuba.
<br />
<br />Good afternoon, my name is Yordanka Brunet Valle, I am from Cuba. I am an English teacher trainer since 2004. Since that time I worked at the prestigious Pedagogical University “Enrique Jose Varona” and at the present I am working as an English teacher at Havana Medical University in the Faculty “Calixto Garcia Iñiguez”.
<br />Before starting I would like to thank all of you for being here with me today.
<br />
<br />I must also thank to the IATEFL Organization for inviting me to come to the conference and for becoming a dream into a reality.
<br />
<br />Thank you very much to the Trinity College London for all its support.
<br />Finally I must thank to the tutor of my MA dissertation in TESOL Mr. Russell Stannard, because his assistance was very important for the design and development of this blog.
<br />
<br />So, as you can see the title of my presentation is “A Blog for training teachers to integrate videos in class”, which is the main result of the MA in TESOL done at Westminster University in 2008.
<br />
<br />So, I would like to share with you some ideas about:
<br />-The use of videos as a support of the English lessons.
<br />-My experience about the design of this blog, its content and improvement since that time until the present.
<br />-The results of some questionnaires applied to validate the blog.
<br />-The benefits of the blog to better other teachers’ training regarding the use of videos in ELT lessons.
<br />
<br />That is why the objective of this presentation is to share the experience about the design of a Blog and its content for training teachers to integrate videos into the ELT lessons.
<br />
<br />As Dudeney G. and Hockly N. State:
<br /> “Technology in language teaching is not new. Indeed, technology has been around in language for decades – one might argue for centuries, if we classify the blackboard as a form of technology.
<br /> Tape recorders, language laboratories and video have been in use since the 1960s and 1970s, and are still used in classrooms around the world.”
<br /> (Dudeney G. and Hockly N. 2007: 7)
<br />
<br />Despite the fact, new technologies have emerged for enriching the teaching learning process of the languages; teachers still use videos in class due to their contributions to the lessons in general. However, there are some language teachers who still don’t feel enough confident when using videos in ELT lessons, because they are not trained enough with respect to their use.
<br />
<br />-Besides they don’t have enough knowledge concerning the most appropriate activities according to the level of the students.
<br />-Another element is that they don’t sufficient materials to support their training regarding the use of videos in class.
<br />Due to the advantages the use of videos allows to better the foreign language acquisition and in particular the English language, I wanted to focus my MA dissertation about the use of videos in general.
<br />
<br />Because as you know Through a video the students could:
<br />1.Increase the motivation towards any topic.
<br />2.Develop the listening skills allowing them to get global understanding and also to get only details.
<br />3.Improve the speaking skills: because the students after watching the video could interact in pairs or groups by means of debate about its title, content, its final part, giving their opinions regarding the topic.
<br />4. Expand their vocabulary: it is probably that they don’t have the meaning of some words, so the teacher should provide the meaning by means of synonyms, antonyms, gestures or just giving the meaning of the word.
<br />5. Reinforce the grammatical structures.
<br />6. Acquire not only the knowledge concerning the target language, but also the culture: I am teaching to 3er medical students in a multicultural class, where my students´ mother tongue is not the English language. When teaching Unit IV “Travelling here and there”, I showed the video “Most beautiful cities around the world” which is posted in my blog. So, when they watched that video, they added new information regarding the cities presented in the video because some of them have been in those places with their families, so they talked about their experiences when they got there.
<br />
<br />The students developed a set of activities regarding the video in class and as a final project; they had to prepare an oral presentation about their own countries. They should work together according to their nationalities and they could bring any souvenir or typical costume that identifies their country.
<br />
<br />It was a beautiful activity where they talked about their traditions and costumes, putting into practice all the content they have learned before. They learned a lot about their countries from each other and me as a teacher learned different aspects related to their costumes too, that I did not know before.
<br />
<br /> Develop of Input: because the students while watching and listening to the video are absorbing and making an effort for understanding and comprehending the information, so they are receiving an Input that after doing the activities and discussing in class with the teacher and in pair work, this Input will become Output and the target langue will be highly developed.
<br />
<br />So, it is clear evident that USING VIDEOS IN CLASS STIMULATES THE PRODUCTION OF THE LANGUAGE and offers excellent opportunities for improving the English lessons.
<br />However, it is not easy when the teacher is planning a lesson, to find the appropriate video content from the web, as a support of it, because as Stannard, R. states:
<br />Stannard R. (2007) argues it can take a long time to find things that are suitable for use in class. The trouble is that lots of the videos are too crazy, contain sexual images or really don’t have much of a storyline. Teachers should take time selecting short videos and not very difficult to understand, otherwise, students could feel uninspired and don't pay attention to them. “The key issue is the selection of the videos”.
<br />So, teachers have been incorporating videos in their English lessons, trying to achieve better results in the ELT lessons. However, as I mentioned before, there are some English teachers who don’t feel enough confident when preparing their English lessons by means of videos, because they are not trained enough with respect to their use.
<br />
<br />So, when analyzing which could be a different way for showing teachers and teacher trainers around the world, how to use different videos with a variety of activities the idea of designing a blog emerged.
<br />
<br />Results of the research
<br />- The blog among wikis and podcasts, which are all social software, is the most attracted computer tool, allowing its author to add among other elements, videos.
<br />This is what I wanted to do, to find a computing tool that allow me to post videos and examples of activities taken place in class, so teachers around the world could consult them and learn from my personal experience about the use of videos in ELT lessons.
<br />- Besides, as part of my research, I realized there was not any blog in Cuba with educative purposes. So I decided to design a blog for training teachers to integrate videos in class.
<br />
<br />What is a Blog?
<br />According to del Toro, M. (2009), a Blog is a Web site for people to publish news, articles (called post) in chronological order or according to dates. It gives the chance to leave comments and ideas about what you see and read. Besides, it allows people to contact the author by email.
<br />
<br />Let see some characteristics of blogs.
<br />As Dudeney G. and Hockly N, (2007:87) state:
<br />The most common type of blog is kept by one person, who will regularly post comments, thoughts, analyses; experiences of daily life, interesting links and also it may include pictures, audio and video.
<br />
<br />Most blogs will allow people to comment on blog entries, thereby creating an online community around a common topic, interest or person, that is why, blogs are referred to as social software.
<br />Let see some important issues related to blogs.
<br />1.-Teachers can keep their own edublog as a diary.
<br />
<br />2.-Teachers can use an edublog as a Web Page, so they can find it through Internet, learn and develop their knowledge about the use of videos for example, in the English lessons.
<br />
<br />3.-Teachers can write comments about the labels presented in any edublog and send emails to the author as a way to keep in touch with him/her. So the edublog would be highly improved after getting some immediate feedback from teachers, students and professionals in general.
<br />
<br />Lest see my blog now!
<br />“Videos and activities for improving ELT”
<br />web page: www.ybrunet.blogspot.com
<br />
<br />OBJECTIVES:
<br />
<br />1- To train teachers about how they could integrate
<br /> videos in the classroom.
<br />
<br />2- To allow teachers learning a different way of
<br /> improving the English lessons through videos and
<br /> activities divided into three main stages; the
<br /> Preparatory and Understanding activities and the
<br /> Extension Work. Besides, in the Blog there is an
<br /> article that makes reference to the design of Blogs
<br /> in general.
<br />Content of the Blog
<br />-Some short videos from YouTube about different general topics such as; the environment, culture and traditions regarding English spoken countries among others.

<br />
<br />In addition, the Blog designed should contribute also an example for teachers in general about its design and content, so after receiving some feedback from teachers the author could realize if the purposes for designing this Blog were successfully accomplished.
<br />
<br /> The questionnaire was answered by 20 English teachers from different universities (the ones mentioned before).
<br /> Results
<br />The results from the questionnaire evidence:
<br />
<br /> - The Blog created is a very useful and interesting tool which favours the development and improvement of the English language in the students. But also it contributes with respect to the students’ acquisition of some ethical and socio cultural values.
<br />
<br />- It’s design shows how teachers, students and teachers’ trainers can use videos with different types of activities in class, allowing them to learn not only about the use of videos but also about its design and content.
<br />WHY USING VIDEOS IN ENGLISH FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS?
<br />The English language subject is part of the program of the Medicine career and the students should learn English from the 1st year until the 5th one.
<br />
<br />They get a general background of the English language from the 1st year to the 3rd one and after that, they start learning English for Specific Purposes by means of different medical topics.
<br />
<br />Interviews to 20 English teachers from Havana Medical University working in the Faculty “Calixto Garcia Iñiguez”, about the use of computing tools, mainly videos for teaching English lessons and the results were that there are not enough computing tools which allow to improve students’ motivation towards the English language and also to better its acquisition.
<br />
<br />Teachers mainly use the book and the blackboard; there are some video cassettes and some interesting software that have plenty of useful grammar activities which enrich the English lessons, however, teachers argue that those materials are not enough for their lessons.
<br />
<br />Besides, in the Faculty there is not any video in English related to the topics the students learn in each unit, such as Hypertension or Tropical diseases.
<br />That is why; I started looking at some appropriate videos in English from YouTube about different diseases. After, I posted some examples of those videos to my Blog which I consider valuable for enriching the English lessons with 4th and 5th year medical students.
<br />
<br />The teachers started using those videos as a support of their English lessons and after having watched them they developed different activities in class such as, Seminars and Oral presentations related to the topic presented in the videos. I filmed some of those activities and I posted them to the blog too.
<br />
<br />That is why the Blog also shows some short videos from YouTube about different diseases, such as Tropical diseases, Cataract and Glaucoma, Hypertension, among others and some examples of video lessons where students are making oral presentations regarding some diseases.
<br />
<br />A questionnaire was applied to the 20 English teachers from Havana Medical University working in the Faculty “Calixto Garcia Iñiguez”, who teach lessons to 4th and 5th year medical students for gathering information about the videos posted to the Blog and they really liked them.
<br />
<br />Besides, the medical students from the same Faculty started looking at the Blog and writing favourable comments about the videos, the activities and articles posted to it. This fact makes me feel more confident and happy with respect to the work done.
<br />
<br />PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
<br /> Positive arguments:
<br />-It is a very useful way that allows sharing educative knowledge around the world.
<br />-It is important to design the blog in a very attracted way, so people could feel motivated towards its content and consult it.
<br />-The blog designed should be updated; otherwise, people won’t be interested in consulting it.
<br />
<br />CONCLUSIONS
<br />1.The Blog created, is a very helpful tool that train teachers in general to integrate videos into the classroom and use them in ELT lessons efficiently. Besides, the Blog allows teachers to improve their knowledge about the use of blogs when teaching the English language in class.

I was very lucky to participate at the 45th IATEFL Conference that took place in Brighton, UK last April.<br /><br />For the ones who couldnt make it, I am sharing my impressions about it with all of you.<br /><br />Being part of the 45th IATEFL Annual Conference and Exhibition in Brighton was an extraordinary experience for me as an English teacher trainer. I learned from all the presentations in general and the teachers’ experiences from all over the world enriched my professional development. The one I loved the most was the Blogosphere symposium, because I could improve my knowledge about the use of Blogs and their design. <br />Another significant moment was when I met all the stuff from IATEFL at the Scholarships’ Tea; they deserve all my respect and consideration. It was also great to meet other scholarships winners.Yordankahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02205042827021735760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457888585602845090.post-89825102911493217342011-04-05T09:24:00.000-07:002011-04-05T13:13:27.637-07:00Application of a questionnaire to validate a series of activities and the Blog.Hello, this is the Chapter 6 of my MA dissertation in TESOL.<br /><br />Chapter 6: Testing the activities selected for using with videos in class and a Blog for training teachers to integrate videos into the classroom.<br /><br />6.1 Introduction<br /><br />Chapter 6 deals with the testing process regarding the activities selected for using with videos in class and a Blog created for showing teachers, students and teachers trainers around the world how to use some videos in English lessons through different activities. In order to validate the activities and the Blog designed it was necessary to create a questionnaire for teachers with the main purpose to obtain some feedback about their effectiveness for improving the English language students’ acquisition in class.<br /><br />Then in order to achieve the questionnaire, the author consulted different materials regarding this topic. But there was a book that offered some explanation in details about what a questionnaire is, its importance, its diversity and how the questions could be created. So, the author based her questionnaire on Nocedo de León and Abreu (1984: 38-49).<br /><br />6.2 Application of a questionnaire to validate a series of activities and the Blog for training teachers to integrate videos into the classroom.<br /><br />It is significant to achieve a questionnaire that contribute to validate the series of activities selected (Preparatory, Understanding and the Extension Work) for using with any videos in class. This questionnaire was created for asking some English teachers about the usefulness of the activities selected in order to improve the students’ acquisition of the English language and to better their listening, speaking, writing and reading skills through the use of videos in class.<br /><br />In addition, it is considerable to achieve a questionnaire that allow the author of this research to validate the Blog designed for showing teachers, students and teachers’ trainers around the world how to use videos with different activities in class. In addition, the Blog designed should contribute also an example for teachers in general about its design and content, so after receiving some feedback from teachers the author could realize if the purposes for designing this Blog were successfully accomplished. <br /><br /><br />6.3 Analysis of the data. <br />The questionnaire created was answered by 20 English teachers from different universities and countries who were studying the MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages at Westminster University, London in 2008. They completed 6 questions regarding the activities selected for using with videos in class and 10 questions about the Blog and the video lessons included.<br />Regarding the activities selected for using with video in class, teachers opinions were very favourable, although there were some teachers who argued with respect to the moment of achieving few activities according to the stage of the lesson. <br />The first and the second questions were designed in order to get a general picture of the selection of the activities. Then, the following questions were more specific in which teachers should provide their own opinions about the contribution of the activities towards the development of the English language and the cultural aspect in the students. <br /><br /><br /><br />6.3.1 Some teachers’ comments about the activities.<br /><br />1) Are the activities suitable for all kind of videos?<br /> Yes X No ___<br /><br />The 20 teachers, who answered the questionnaire, choose the positive answer, for this question making an equivalent of 100 % from the total, which means that all the activities selected can be used with any videos.<br /><br />2) Are the activities properly organized according to the stage of the lesson? <br /> (The stages deal with the Preparatory, Understanding and Extension <br /> Work or which is mainly known as before, during and after watching and <br /> listen to the video)<br /> Yes X No ___<br /><br />Concerning this question, 17 teachers from a total of 20, answered positively arguing that the activities were logically organized and achieved taking into account the stage of the lesson. However, 3 of them stated that some activities could be achieved in more than one stage, for instance, in the case of the Preparatory activity 6, they argued that it could be achieved also in the Understanding as it is shown in the Blog but not in the questionnaire. In addition, the Understanding activities 8 and 10, according to some teachers’ criteria they could be achieved as Extension work. So in general, it could be stated that an 85% agreed with the organization of the activities and a 15% disagreed, so looking at the results given by the majority of the teachers reinforces that the activities could be achieved in class in the way originally organized. <br /><br />3) Do the activities allow students to improve their knowledge regarding the English language? If yes, in which way? <br /> Yes X No ___<br /><br />The 20 teachers (100%) agreed with the aspect stated in this question, arguing that all the activities allow students to improve their knowledge about the English language due to they can develop the listening, speaking, writing and reading skills. Besides, as most of the activities should be achieved by means of the interaction in pairs or groups, they learn from each other allowing an increase in terms of vocabulary, grammatical structures and the communicative functions in general. <br /><br />Besides, as the activities are related to a content previously studied, make possible to students fixing what they have learned before and to acquire by means of games, role plays, some predictions, among others, the new knowledge. In addition, these activities enrich the development of Input because they motivate students towards the topic encouraging them to participate and talk in class, which contributes to improve their Output, a very beneficial issue teachers should have always in mind.<br /><br />4) Do the activities develop students’ knowledge regarding the cultural aspect?

So, the activities and the video concerning that topic increase students’ motivation towards it allowing them to start thinking about possible solutions to the problem and climates’ problems are part of the environment culture. <br />On the other hand, the activities dealing with the most beautiful places around the world contribute to increase students’ culture, enjoying through Internet marvellous and exciting examples of places from different continents, so this is a way students can learn about others’ countries culture. <br />Apart from that, students can acquire some other aspects like the music, which is one issue that characterize the culture of a country. In this sense, the activities related to the video about how to dance salsa, students could learn not only some general steps about dancing salsa, but also they are identifying the music as one cultural element that belongs to a specific country. <br /><br />5) How do you consider the activities selected for the video lessons?

In this sense, they argue that it was very useful to provide the aim of each activity and their description. Besides, according to teachers’ opinions the Blog has a very nice design although it would be useful to use colours to highlight the titles of the activities or adding the activities to a word document so that teachers can download them and as well to post the solutions. <br />Another criteria was dealing with the integration among the activities, the videos from you tube and video lessons. The teachers state that this integration allows any person to acquire enough information regarding the improvement of the English language through videos. <br /><br />Another impression was related to the feedback provided in the Blog, because it gives the possibility to students and teachers to write comments based on what they read and watch and they can also send emails to the author, establishing a direct contact between the author and the person interested in learning from the Blog. Some other teachers stated that the Blog also gives whole range of information about the writer. <br /><br />In general, they consider the Blog an amassing and simple tool because as some stated, language learning is mainly about having a ‘motive’, and also technology is about simplicity, therefore the Blog is very good for the intended goals. <br /><br />6. Was there any part from the Blog that you found very valuable? <br /><br /> If yes, which?<br />The 100% of the English teachers consider the Blog a very valuable tool in all sense.

If yes, which?<br />The 100% of the English teachers consider that all the information provided in the Blog is useful.<br /><br />8. Does the Blog created explain and show teachers how to use videos with different activities according to the stage of the lesson? (Preparatory/ Understanding and Extension Work) <br /><br /><br /> Yes X No __<br /><br />All the teachers (100%) agreed with the fact, that the Blog illustrate and explain in details how teachers could improve the English language by means of videos, achieving different activities according to the stage of the lesson. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />9. Could students and teachers use the Blog as a helpful tool for their studies regarding the use of videos in ELT lessons?<br /><br /> Yes X No __<br /><br /> The 100% of the teachers stated that the Blog designed contribute to improve students and teachers’ knowledge with respect to the use of videos in English lessons, so according to their criteria, it is a very useful tool which allow any person to acquire some information regarding this subject. Besides if there is a teacher who decides to carry out a research about this topic, they can consult the Blog as a reference for their studies. Although in order to improve it for future work, some teachers consider that it would be more beneficial if the author creates two independent sections in the Blog, one for teachers and another one for students. Besides in my view, the students can use the Blog as a valuable tool for improving and making some progress concerning the English language.<br /><br />10. Do you think the Blog allows teachers to train them about its design and content?<br /><br /> Yes X No __<br /><br />The 100% of the teachers consider the Blog a valuable example for showing teachers how they could design a similar Blog in terms of the content and the way it is expressed. <br /><br />6.4 Conclusion<br />To conclude it can be said that, the results from the questionnaire evidence that the activities selected are very useful for using in the video lessons due to they better the teaching-learning process of the English language through videos. <br />The questionnaire’s results illustrate that these activities are good examples for using with videos in class taking into account the stage of the lesson, favouring students to improve their knowledge regarding the English language and to enrich the cultural aspect. <br />The results also showed that the Blog created is a very useful and interesting tool which favours the development and improvement of the English language in the students. But also it contributes with respect to the students’ acquisition of some ethical and socio cultural values. <br />It’s design shows how teachers, students and teachers’ trainers can use videos with different types of activities in class, allowing them to learn not only about the use of videos but also about its design and content. Although the design of the Blog could be improved allowing teachers and students acquire its content easily. <br />So, there is no doubt that the Blog created, is a very helpful tool that train teachers in general to integrate videos into the classroom and use them in the English lessons efficiently. <br /><br />Apart from that, the Blog created is considered a valuable tool for teachers and students because through a creative and efficient way, it allows the integration among different media such as; some videos from you tube, the video lessons which show some examples of activities taking place and the Internet that gives the possibility to illustrate and expand the work done regarding the use of videos for improving the English lessons. So by means of this integration, the Blog becomes a very powerful tool that should be consulted in order to better the acquisition and improvement of the English language.<br /><br />The novel issue of this Blog will be related to the theory about the integration of the different media previously state, with the objective to teach students, teachers and teachers’ trainers about the use of videos and the most adequate activities concerning the stage of the lesson, favouring the teaching-learning process of the English language in any institutions, but mainly at the Higher Pedagogical Institutes in Cuba. That theory will be developed in future works.Yordankahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02205042827021735760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457888585602845090.post-23330755551073174792011-03-28T10:03:00.000-07:002011-03-28T10:06:51.175-07:00Video about Glaucoma from You tubeHello,<br />This is a short video about Glaucoma.
