Por el lapso de casi dos años he utilizado diferentes portales electrónicos con mis alumnos de Cuarto Italiano-Inglés A3 y corroboró su efectividad por que les ha proporcionado autonomía en el aprendizaje, destreza en el uso de programas, concienciación de sus conocimientos y áreas que se deben mejorar. Mi función como docente fue guiarlos en la búsqueda de los portales académicos que les brinden los recursos necesarios y el mérito del trabajo organizado semana a semana fue totalmente de mis alumnos. Como siempre los felicito y cada esfuerzo que hicieron tiene un propósito y una gratificación en conocimientos.
One of the greatest challenges educators face in this age of enormous changes is the appropriate use of technology resources as an important tool in a language classroom. This information does not mean that computers and applications will substitute teachers and activities, rather its use will enhance delivery of teaching material as a classroom resource and as a tool in the students´ independent work, Thus students apply self-reliance and become responsible of their own learning.
As a languge educator, I am open to to new alternatives to make my students´ learning enjoyable, innovative and up to date with the latest trends. It is one´s resonsibility to look for proven technological resources to help the students to become proficient and autonomous learners.
During half of the 2012 school year and the complete 2013 school year, the Italian-English Fourth Level students (A-3) have been practicing a variety of internet link materials in the different areas of reading, listening, writing, some vocabulary and grammar activities. All these activities have been strategically and perfectly proven to work as extra-curricular activities.
Another great benefit from the use of these links is that most of the activities are graded; they offer useful grammar feedback and help my students visualize their strengths and weaknesses.

I am convinced based on my students hard work, that procedures to get the results and the percentage of improvement have helped my students to become responsible, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and independent learners.
I appreciate all of my students´ hard work and it is their responsibility as teachers to share all that interesting knowledge with everyone else. All their expriences are posted on the Main floor at the School of Languages. Check it out!!
