Lugares inmersos en la bruma, castillos medievales de belleza sin parangón, ciudades cosmopolitas de indudable atractivo para el visitante... Es un país al que merece la pena ir con frecuencia para poder perderse en esos lugares, a veces un tanto apartados de las rutas turísticas, pero de increible belleza.</span></div><div style="border: medium none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Siempre me he considerado un gran amante del séptimo arte, y no cabe duda de que Gran Bretaña ha sido el trampolín para que un sinfín de actores y actrices maravillosos hayan podido llenar con su presencia las pantallas de todo el mundo: Desde Elizabeth Taylor a Richard Burton, pasando por artistas inolvidables de la talla de Peter O'Toole, Julie Andrews, Jude Law y tantos otros. Sin embargo, resulta triste admitir que tales figuras resultan del todo desconocidas para nuestros alumnos y alumnas, tan dados a ver por televisión programas de contenido amarillista de dudoso gusto y tan aficionados a asistir a las salas de cine para ver cintas llenas de efectos especiales pero vacías de contenido y lo que es peor, carentes de valores que que no hacen sino envilecer al ser humano</span></div></div><div style="border: medium none; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Vaya por delante este modesto homenaje que me he permitido realizar. Jamás debemos olvidar que el séptimo arte, el cine con mayúsculas, es cultura (y de la buena).</span></div></div><br />

Si antes lo que te hacía madrugar era el hecho de tener que ir al instituto porque papá o mamá te dicen que hay que ir a clase a primera hora de la mañana, lo que te hace ahora desperezar por las mañanas es la angustia que te produce saber que tienes tal o cuál examen que realizar, y hay que repasar, porque la materia es mucha y francamente, no lo has llevado al día como hubiera sido de desear. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Y realmente es algo que a mí, personalmente, me hace mucha gracia como profesor, porque la llegada a clase, al menos en el caso de aquellos alumnos que se toman sus estudios en serio, es siempre que vienen con la misma cara, con el ceño fruncido. Si llegan de los primeros a clase es porque han tenido que despertarse bastante pronto a repasar (cosa que no le gusta a casi nadie). Si llegan en el pelotón de los que se les han pegado un poquito las sábanas, su cara es de perplejidad porque no saben muy bien cómo va a acabar el día ("¡Dios mío, no me sé nada!"). Por último, y no menos importante, si llegas muy tarde, no sería la primera vez que el profesor se coge una del quince porque no hay cosa que a un profesor le siente peor que un alumno llegue con un retraso considerable a clase, y no menos a un examen.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">En cambio, por las tardes, la cara es la misma, y casi en la mayoría de todos vosotros, y eso lo demuestra la más típica de las preguntas. “¿Qué tal?” Os preguntáis unos a otro por teléfono, o en el consabido chat de turno, o por el messenger mientras hacéis un parón entre tanto apunte y tanto ejercicio. ¿Y cuál suere ser la respuesta? "cansado", "harto", "esto no hay quién lo apruebe", y tantas otras. Y esas respuestas junto con “Aquí estudiando” es la que más se repite. Pero bueno, la verdad, es que entre tanto cansancio, y tanta cara de mala uva, siempre os acabáis riéndo con los amigos, que en estos duros momentos es cuando más falta hacen.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

Porque no os olvidéis que los profesores hemos sido monaguillos antes que curas. Y es por ello que me permito daros una serie de consejos para hacer frente a tan dura prueba:</span></div><ul style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 72pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Ven preparado y procura llegar temprano a los exámenes: </b>Tráete todos los materiales que vas a necesitar tales como lápices, bolígrafos, calculadora y reloj. </span> </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 72pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Esto te ayudará a tener todo a mano y concentrarte</b> <b>en la tarea: </b>Permanece relajado y confiado. Recuérdate a tí mismo que estád bien preparado y va a salir todo bien.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
No le des cuartelillo a la ansiedad; si te sientes angustiado antes o durante un examen, realiza varias respiraciones lentas y profundas para relajarte. No hables con otros compañeros antes de un examen, ya que la ansiedad es contagiosa. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 72pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Siéntate cómodo pero alerta: </b>Escoge un sitio bien iluminado para realizar </span><span style="font-size: small;">el examen. Asegúrate de que tienes suficiente espacio para trabajar, y mantén una postura erguida en su a<b> <div _moz-userdefined=""></div></b></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 72pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Planea contestar las preguntas fáciles primero, </b>y las preguntas más difíciles en último lugar. Contesta las preguntas del examen en un orden estratégico.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 72pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Haz una lectura detallada de todo el examen: </b>Marca los términos clave y decide cómo administrar tu tiempo. A medida que vayas leyendo las preguntas, escribe breves apuntes indicando ideas que podráa utilizar más ta<b> <div _moz-userdefined=""></div></b></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 72pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Reserva un tanto por ciento adecuado de tu tiempo de examen para la revisión: </b>Repasa su examen, y resístete el impulso de entregarlo tan pronto hayas completado todos los items. Asegúrate de haber contestado todas las preguntas. Corrige tu escrito en cuanto a ortografía, Verifica tus respuestas en matemáticas, inglés y francés para errores por descuido (por ejemplo, errores en los decimales, errores consistentes en escribir <b>‘hasen´t’</b> por <b>‘hasn´t’</b>) en tus respuestas. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 72pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Decide qué estrategia de estudio es la que mejor te funciona y adóptala: </b>Identifica aquéllas que no te funcionaron bien y reemplázalas.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 72pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Y sobre todo, recuerda lo siguiente:</b> No dejes todo para el final, pues un estudio continuado a lo largo de todo el trimestre facilita el que adquieras no sólo conocimientos sólidos que no vas a olvidar con facilidad, sino que a la hora de la verdad vas a sentirle seguro de tí mismo.</span></li>

<span style="font-size: small;">Music is an essential part of human existence. Different kinds of birds have different cries, songs and melodies to communicate about their world. Similarly music is used by human beings to express their thoughts and feelings about their inner world as well as their social world. It is hard to imagine a culture without music. Thus, music can be seen as the soul of human culture. In the context of education, music has become a popular subject in primary and secondary education and it is an established academic subject in tertiary education. However, research on the role of music in second language learning is surprisingly still in its embryonic stage while its popularity is strong and its impact on society is readily recognised. It would be interesting to examine the importance of music in education, particularly in relation to second language learning. </span></div><div align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

The research on the role of music in second language learning is still at an embryonic stage, as I've just said. The general assumption is that music enhances a learning environment due to its affective power. A qualitative study has been conducted to examine how music is perceived by second language educators and students. The focus was on its role in second language learning. The study reveals interesting insights about the permeation of music in various extracurriculum activities and learning experiences of tertiary students of English. Pedagogically, English music has been highly valued by teachers and students of English in teaching speaking, listening, reading and writing. It is argued that music, particularly songs, is an encoding of cultural values and ideology which need to be viewed critically if foreign music is used in teaching a second language in our schools.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Students really enjoy watching movies and TV for a variety of reasons. For one, they get exposure to natural language in a non-threatening setting. Secondly, movies and video provide common ground to students of any international background. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So pop yourself some popcorn and settle down in front of your TV set for some fun with movies like the one I'm focusing on at the moment, an epic tale of History's most famous ocean liner: <b>TITANIC</b>. If you find it hard to follow the dialogues, that's why english subtitles are for. You, my dear student, have no excuse for at whatever level of Shakespeare's language you are. Just make the most of it and watch this wonderful movie in original sound. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And now let's concentrate on this wonderful film. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Deep-sea explorer Brock Lovett has reached the most famous shipwreck of all - the Titanic. Emerging with a safe believed to contain a diamond called 'The Heart of the Ocean', he discovers the safe does not hold the diamond but a drawing of a beautiful woman wearing it. When Brock is later interviewed on TV, he shows the drawing to the cameras, and a 100-year-old woman living in Michigan recognizes the woman in the drawing - herself! On a visit to Brock's explorer ship over the wreck, she tells her story of the Titanic and its ill-fated voyage: </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After winning a trip on the RMS Titanic during a dockside card game, American Jack Dawson spots the society girl Rose DeWitt Bukater who is on her way to Philadelphia to marry her rich snob fiancé Cal Hockley. Rose feels helplessly trapped by her situation and makes her way to the aft deck and thinks of suicide until she is rescued by Jack. Cal is therefore obliged to invite Jack to dine at their first-class table where he suffers through the slights of his snobbish hosts. In return, he spirits Rose off to third class for an evening of dancing, giving her the time of her life. Deciding to forsake her intended future all together, Rose asks Jack, who has made his living making sketches on the streets of Paris, to draw her in the nude wearing the invaluable blue diamond Cal has given her. Cal finds out and has Jack locked away. Soon after wards, the ship hits an iceberg and Rose must find Jack while both must run from Cal even as the ship sinks deeper into the freezing water. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When the ship sinks on April 15th, 1912 at 2:20 in the morning, Jack dies and Rose survives and 84 years later Rose tells the story about her life on Titanic to her grand daughter and friends on the Keldysh and explains the first sight of Jack that falls into love, then into a fight for survival. When Rose gets saved by one lifeboat that comes back, they take her to the Carpathia with the 6 saved with Rose and the 700 people saved in the lifeboats. The Carpathia Immigration Officer asks Rose what her name is and she loved Jack so much she says her name is not Rose DeWitt Bukator, but her name is Rose Dawson. She seen Cal looking for her, but he doesn't see her, and they never ended up together, her mom, Cal, and friends of the family has know choice but to think that she died on the Titanic. By the time the crash of 1929 took place, Cal had already got married, but when he lost everything he had he put a pistol in his mouth and committed suicide. So Rose is an actress in the 20's, and now 84 years later Rose Calvert is 100 years old and tells her grand daughter Lizzy Calvert the whole story from departure until the death of Titanic on its first and last voyage. To Rose, all Titanic and the real love of her life, Jack Dawson, is all an existence inside of her memory, and Titanic is to rest in peace at the bottom of the North Atlantic from 1912 until the end of time. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hollywood doesn't make films like this anymore. With the two-hundred million budget of <b>Titanic</b>, one can see why. If moviemaking has reached the point where economics can restrain a vision, then we have a creative tragedy of near-Titanic proportions. In <b>Titanic</b>, James Cameron puts that two-hundred million on the screen. Every costume, every set, and every prop were carefully designed to meet Cameron's exacting standards of historical representation. The ship itself, whether sailing or sinking, is a testament to the power of the epic film that Cecil B. DeMille and David Lean would appreciate. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When the theatrical release of James Cameron's <b>Titanic</b> was delayed from July to December of 1997, media pundits speculated that Cameron's $200 million disaster epic would cause the director's downfall, signal the end of the blockbuster era, and sink Paramount Studios as quickly as the ill-fated luxury liner had sunk on that fateful night of April 14, 1912. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The general public has always wanted the element of realism in their fantasy. It didn't matter that Charleton Heston wasn't Jewish as long as the clothes were right, the buildings had columns and he rode a chariot in <b>Ben Hur</b>. Likewise today, <b>Saving Private Ryan</b> has been hailed for its realism and has raised the bar for future war films. People don't mind the story, as long as it seems real to them.</span> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This illusion is an art, and James Cameron is one of its masters. Cleverly starting the film in the present, he is able to build anticipation for the return to 1912 while seemlessly convincing us that Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack Dawson were as real to the world as Molly Brown or J.J. Astor. Perhaps most of all, Cameron accomplishes a great feat by making the audience painfully aware of the human tragedy while at the same time amazing them with the spectacle of the ship's demise. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Although there are weaknesses in the script, the sheer magnitute of the film keeps the story captivating while the actors bring the passengers and crew to life. Much has been spoken about Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, but the true backbone of the film are the supporting characters whose presence evokes the wide range of emotions needed for a viewer to invest in the plot. Whether watching <b>Titanic</b> again or for the first time, take special note of Kathy Bates as Molly Brown, Francis Fisher as Rose's mother and especially Victor Garber as Thomas Andrews.</span> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Some studio executives were confident, others horrified, but the clarity of hindsight turned Cameron into an Oscar-winning genius, a shrewd businessman, and one of the most successful directors in the history of motion pictures. <b>Titanic</b> would surpass the $1 billion mark in global box-office receipts (largely due to multiple viewings, the majority by teenage girls), win 11 Academy Awards including best picture and director, produce the best-selling movie soundtrack of all time, and make a global superstar of Leonardo DiCaprio. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">An awesome pop-cultural phenomenon, the film has all the ingredients of a blockbuster (romance, passion, luxury, grand scale, a snidely villain, and an epic, life-threatening crisis), but Cameron's alchemy of these ingredients proved more popular than anyone could have predicted. His stroke of genius was to combine absolute authenticity with a pair of fictional lovers whose tragic fate would draw viewers into the heart-wrenching reality of the Titanic disaster. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As starving artist Jack Dawson and soon-to-be-married socialite Rose DeWitt Bukater, DiCaprio and Kate Winslet won the hearts of viewers around the world, and their brief but never-forgotten love affair provides the humanity that Cameron needed to turn <b>Titanic</b> into an emotional experience. Present-day framing scenes (featuring Gloria Stuart as the 101-year-old Rose) add additional resonance to the story, and although some viewers proved vehemently immune to Cameron's manipulations, few can deny the production's impressive achievements. Although some of the computer-generated visual effects look artificial, others such as the sunset silhouette of <b>Titanic</b> during its first evening at sea, or the climactic splitting of the ship's sinking hull are state-of-the-art marvels. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In terms of sets and costumes alone, the film is never less than astounding. More than anything else, however, the film's overwhelming popularity speaks for itself. <b>Titanic</b> is an event film and a monument to Cameron's risk-taking audacity, blending the tragic irony of the <b>Titanic</b> disaster with just enough narrative invention to give the historical event its fullest and most timeless dramatic impact. <b>Titanic</b> is an epic love story on par with <b>Gone with the Wind</b>, and like that earlier box-office phenomenon, it's a film for the ages. As I said before, Hollywood doesn't make them like this anymore, but they should. Watching <b>Titanic</b> is a hell of an experience that should sail into your heart and stay there for ever. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div><br />

The best possible way to make your kids learn </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">English is to have them listen to a very short, interesting story that has a rhythm of its own.</span></div><div style="border: medium none; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is a known fact that children gradually learn the story as they are told. Soon they start repeating the story by themselves ,this unknowingly builds a confidence </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">in them and make them happy that they too can say the story. In this way the child starts speaking small sentences in English. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We should get a picture book and start naming the pictures, and also give them a picture talk. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Next, we must try and do actions for words such like eating, clapping, jumping, laughing, etc. I</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">n order for us to teach them gradually complex </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">sentences, story time or picture reading </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">in simple sentences are the best way. Here's a good example of what I mean to say:</span></div><div style="border: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Once upon a time there lived two friends in a jungle, a tortoise and a rabbit. One day they wanted to take part in a race. They both started running together, but after a while the rabbit sat down to rest and fell asleep under a tree on the half way thinking that he was a fast runner so he could make up with the tortoise the moment he wakes up.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As the tortoise reached the midway he saw the rabbit sleeping under the tree, he halted for few seconds and then kept on going thinking that if he sat down to rest he might loose the race. After some time the rabbit woke up and started running but when he reached the winning point he saw the tortoise had already won the race.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Show the pictures if possible so that you can draw the child's attention towards the story. If this is done regularly the results will be seen in no time, and we will notice the child may be trying to say the story along with us The next step will be to start a sentance and prompt the child to complete it. We will see the child gradually enjoying when he tries to tell you the story by themselves and thus learning the language without really noticing he is learning. Have a try, and tell me your experience.</span></div>Antonio Aragón.http://www.blogger.com/profile/11600917335313879916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424268761318054264.post-50155077454438998422010-11-15T04:14:00.004+01:002010-12-12T09:23:16.981+01:00CONSEJOS DE INTERÉS PARA MIS ALUMNOS.<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A continuación voy a ofreceros una relación de ideas que puedes adoptar a modo de consejo para sacarle el mejor partido posible al aprendizaje del inglés:</span></div><div class="texto" style="text-align: justify;"><div style="border: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK-Ixk15b7p3mD4gFj_2CIPsG3rVNg_p73HcAT4At9ZoCwCSZRhxeYISsmrUFRQN00ZRTM6HK80osXE_ke0zC-E5WLAsRLy-igXTnVIGe8VcCJ1yoLMhlgMe7u5aMa86zYqvmFrZWPxK4/s1600/1.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK-Ixk15b7p3mD4gFj_2CIPsG3rVNg_p73HcAT4At9ZoCwCSZRhxeYISsmrUFRQN00ZRTM6HK80osXE_ke0zC-E5WLAsRLy-igXTnVIGe8VcCJ1yoLMhlgMe7u5aMa86zYqvmFrZWPxK4/s200/1.bmp" width="167" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial;">Elige un lugar en el que tengas cerca todo lo que necesite y nadie te pueda molestar. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Elabora una lista antes de comenzar a estudiar en la que figure el material de estudio, los pasos de estudio correspondientes así como también las plazos de las tareas.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">During</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> the late 1960’s and the early 1970’s, education, influenced by the social changes of the 60’s went through a period where the teaching of grammar was thought to be stifling to creativity. Often I was made to feel like a dinosaur for teaching grammar. Oddly enough, much of the criticism came from colleagues who held master’s degrees. It was so easy for them to think like that but they already had grammar skills or they wouldn’t have been able to write a master’s thesis. Then, why did they want to deny these same skills to present and future students? Nobody is obviously against progress in education but, in the heat of the excitement of making changes, we must be very sure that what we consider to be progression is not regression, or even suppression, in disguise.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="border: medium none;"><br />

As for myself, the instructor suggested that I would learn more quickly if I worked on a continuous project. I spent every opportunity available to me in the computer room; early mornings, lunch times, after school, and in the evenings (learning to use new technologies has always been a slow time-consuming process to me). But thank goodness I managed to get used to so many new words and expressions that now it's become an integral part of my everyday's life. You cannot measure progress against your plan.</span><br />

With the flick of a switch, the push of a button, the turn of a dial, or the click of a mouse, we can be distracted immediately. Mastering a technique is not instant. It needs the discipline to focus, to organize, and to practise. It also needs the encouragement of parents and teachers. It is time to stop giving grammar a bad name and look at it for what it is: a technique. It is a tool that can enhance creativity, not stifle it. </span><br />

When I was guiding students in creative writing classes, it was so helpful, from a teaching point of view, to be able to say, “Here you used an adjective where you should have used an adverb” or “at this point you used a principal verb without an auxiliary verb” or “if you place the subject at the end of this sentence it will improve the flow of your story. ”This is a much more satisfying learning situation than saying, “You have made some mistakes so I have inserted the corrections in red ink.”</span><br />

No matter what resources you prefer to use, never underestimate the importance of grammar. It would be wise to note that if you can’t speak well and write well – your windows of opportunity are closed.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

Es lengua materna de 340 millones personas, casi la misma cantidad hablan inglés como segunda lengua. En muchos países el inglés es la lengua oficial. Entre ellos, por supuesto Gran Bretaña e Irlanda, los Estados Unidos, Canadá y Malta, India, pero también muchos estados del Caribe así como también países africanos. Además el inglés, en muchos países, si bien no es la lengua oficial, es la lengua de la economía. Según un estudio más del 56% de los sitios de Internet están editados en inglés. En segundo lugar se encuentra el alemán con un 8%. El 75% de la bibliografía científica especializada está en inglés. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">En casi todas las partes del mundo la mayoría habla al menos un poco de inglés, de modo que en casi todo el mundo gracias al inglés podrá "sobrevivir". </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPoDp_5zshiyFiqILkUQcsWYNpKk1LZeZIOQU1ymPZcGgEfpYmK4lGGXJB_pKdbCc8toHfdU-9Fas4IA8QMPJXO8X-w7LH9B5u_XJ_jZgHN1HB3bi_lbZDGhGg25A_QcXegLhrjDKGd7E/s1600/english-learning-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPoDp_5zshiyFiqILkUQcsWYNpKk1LZeZIOQU1ymPZcGgEfpYmK4lGGXJB_pKdbCc8toHfdU-9Fas4IA8QMPJXO8X-w7LH9B5u_XJ_jZgHN1HB3bi_lbZDGhGg25A_QcXegLhrjDKGd7E/s200/english-learning-5.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Aún cuando otras partes del planeta están experimentando un importante boom económico, el inglés seguirá siendo durante mucho tiempo el idioma más importante en el ámbito financiero a nivel mundial, y también te seguirá siendo útil a la hora de planear tus vacaciones. La lengua inglesa procede del indoeuropeo. Gracias a la expansión del Imperio británico, se difundió por muchos territorios del mundo, y todavía en la actualidad el inglés es lengua oficial en muchos países que pertenecieron a dicho Imperio en un pasado no demasiado lejano. </span></div><div class="texto" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

De acuerdo con estimaciones oficiales hay alrededor de 1.000.000 de diferentes palabras en inglés, de las cuales de todos modos solo la mitad pertenece a lo que se considera 'standard english' o 'modelo estándar del idioma inglés'. Los dos tipos de inglés más conocidos son el americano y el británico, este último denominado también "Oxford English" por ser el inglés que se enseña en la Universidad de Oxford. Este inglés se expande en forma creciente, ya que es el que se enseña como lengua extranjera y también está difundido en los medios de comunicación angloparlantes.</span></div><div class="texto" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />

La pronunciación de las mismas se ha modificado en gran medida, y siempre fracasaron todos los intentos de acercar la ortografía a la actual pronunciacion. La gramática inglesa es por el contrario relativamente sencilla, hay sólo unos pocos verbos irregulares , las terminaciones de los verbos en general no se modifican, de modo que la gramática puede dominarse velozmente, toda vez que uno haya comprendido las estructuras básicas. </span></div>Antonio Aragón.http://www.blogger.com/profile/11600917335313879916noreply@blogger.com3
