Desarrollando una plataforma multimedial para el aprendizaje del inglés en las carreras de ingeniería de la Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción

Abstract

The government-funded project MECESUP USC 0201 "Inglés como lengua extranjera en el pregrado: innovación de la enseñanza aprendizaje y mejoramiento de la competencia comunicativa en la Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción" has led to the design of a multimedia platform whose main aim is to support engineering students' learning of English. The multimedia platform has got different sections that aim at developing reading, listening, writing and speaking skills. The students can also practice vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Students' work progress remains registered in the platform so as to allow teachers to monitor students' work. Together with improving their language proficiency, it is expected that students can also develop autonomous learning strategies through their interaction with the platform.
