ELe The importance of learning english

By Aimme Ibarra

The learning of a second language is a primary need for us as students, in a way that apart of your original language a second language is a necessity.

But unfortunately the vast majority of collage students see it as a requirement to end their career.

Us as docentes de la lengua inglesa should not see it this way We should note that we should feel fortunate to have the knowledge of the english language since english is a very important tool that gives us:

More job opportunities.

More acces to information sources.

Better salaries.

And others.

English is a gateway to a world of knowledge.

English is the world's most important language and the most spoken one around the world. Is a similarity factor of opportunities now in days. Which allows us to experience new ideas, exercise our minds and not only learning the language but their culture and environment. Today's english language learners are a divers collection of immigrants, business peolple, students and artist who share a dedication to the english language .

ELe A trip across Dgo Culture

By Hector Gonzalez

On the morning of Tuesday, November 25th we attended Elementary School located in downtown Durango. The reason for our visit was to promote local tourism as well as raise awareness to the importance of knowing our city. The results were a sucess. Not only did we have fun with these kids from 5th grade but we also were surprised at just how much they knew about the city, historic buildings and more.

We began the class by presenting ourselves. Fresh out of their English class we decided to use some English in the presentation. We asked what they knew about tourism and proceeded to show them a Power Point presentation using only pictures. We would then ask if they knew the building and gave them additional information or an interesting fact that we ourselves learned during the class this semester.

The kids really responded well and seemed to all be eager to participate. We asked some trivia and went on to show the most important buildings and tourist attractions we have in this beautiful city.

Towards the end of class we discussed the importance of promoting our city and being proud of it.

07

ELe We concluded the class by giving out some local traditional candy. It just happened to be one of the girls Birthday so we decided to all sing her happy birthday. The kids seemed excited about learning the song and when we ďŹ nished we thanked them all and the Teacher. Overall it was another great experience and the whole class just passed so quickly.

During the presentation we realized the kids had a good amount of knowledge about the topic of tourism. They told us they've visited many museums and some of them even attended summer camp where they would visit famous landmarks around the city. This was great to hear because these kids from an early age are getting exposed to culture and can begin appreciating it from an early age. We think is very important and the results are pretty obvious when we saw just how much the kids already knew.

We enjoyed the class.

But how does this experience tie in with our career? IS it relevant? Of course it is! Not only did we gain experience being in front of a group but we also encouraged these kids to appreciate all we have to offer and to be proud of our city. The way we prepared our class was to make it fun and very active. As a Teacher you always try to put yourself in the students position. How would you like to be tought?

So we conclude this article on our tourism class. A class which we enjoyed and took us to a few beautiful places. We really got an opportunity to see a different side that way to many of us locals just dont appreciate and take the time to see. I think it changed our perspective on the city as a whole and really made us want to see more new places becuase wheather you know it or not, there are a lot of places to still see. So ďŹ nd that hidden gem, your new favorite coffee place, a new favorite resaturant and hike up a beautiful trail. Durango has so much to offer and here in tourism class we defenitively saw it.

ELe Foreign teaching En equipo que está integrado por su servidor José al igual que sus compañeros Héctor, Aimme y Basio nos tomamos la tarea de investigar muy a fondo la experiencia de una persona de la cual fuera profesor de inglés en un país extranjero como lo asignaba la tarea del profe.

Mi equipo y yo decidimos ir hasta el municipio de nombre de dios Durango que está ubicado al sur del estado de Durango aproximadamente 45 minutos de la capital.

Ya encontrado a la persona a la cual se le iba aplicar una entrevista por medio de una cámara de video para que hubiera evidencia en la entrevista, se nos facilitó aplicarla con un amigo mío el cual su nombre es Horacio Ortiz. Ésta persona es muy interesante ya que el viene de un país extranjero en específico de Guatemala pero se estableció aquí en México. Vive actualmente en el estado de nombre de dios pero desarrolla clases de inglés en una primaria en la capital del estado.

Ya entrándonos un poco más a fondo se les explicara las preguntas que fueron desarrolladas en la entrevista hacia el profesor Horacio.

EVOLUCION Como vimos en clase la música ha ido evolucionado durante diferentes periodos y etapas en lo que es la historia humana. Desde el inicio de nuestra existencia podemos ver como utilizamos las artes para comunicar ideas, información e historias durante el tiempo. Así como vimos el desarrollo de la música desde su inicio, también podemos ver como el arte ha pasado por etapas similares.

Las diferentes etapas que vimos nos enseñan que todo tiene una progresión; Había veces que se introducían pequeños cambios a lo popular para crear un nuevo estilo y otras veces se trataba de alejar lo más posible para crear un estilo completamente diferente y nuevo.

Con esa perspectiva llegamos a investigar a Joan Miró. Conocemos un poco de su vida y como desarrolló sus habilidades artísticas. Veremos cómo inuyó y ayudó a popularizar otro estilo de arte; él es solo un pequeño enlace que une el pasado con el presente. Miró era un artista muy talentoso que dejó su huella en la historia de las artes, pero en realidad el arte es algo que transciende y algo que nos pertenece a todos. Una evolución de ideas que pasa de generación a generación. Incitando que busquemos dentro de nosotros un estilo nuevo para poder expresarnos. Así es como hemos llegado a este momento donde existe tanta variedad en todos los aspectos de la vida.

A finales de 1920 Miró viaja por primera vez a parís donde conoce a Picasso, a lo largo de esa década descubre su lenguaje personal; en 1921 comienza a trabajar en el estudio de Pablo Gargallo de la rue Blomet y conoce a André Masson en el cual en este grupo surrealista encuentra su verdadera expresión en el que desencadena la imaginación y la fantasía.

Joan fue un artista que no se limitó nada más a crear pinturas, su inspiración y obras se vieron reejadas de distintas maneras, tales como la cerámica, la escultura, grabación. Al observar detenidamente sus obras pudimos darnos cuenta de que reejan mucha abstracción y al mismo tiempo algo en concreto, sus obras, tienen mucha imaginación, fantasía y mensajes subliminales englobando en sí, obras surrealistas; a simple vista cualquier persona creería que sus obras son un tanto dedicadas a infantes, pero más bien es por la técnica y uso de colores para tener la textura adecuada.

Usa mucho simbolismo para sus creaciones, en cierta manera se le considera surrealista aunque el mismo expresa que no siente formar parte de un género totalmente surrealista, solo en ciertos aspectos esto se ve reejado. En lo personal consideramos que las obras de Miro no son tan interesantes, si se ha esforzado mucho, intentando innovar, pero siendo realistas no son obras que dejen mucho que pensar; aunque a decir verdad lo interesante aquí son los títulos de sus obras que la verdad nunca te imaginarias ese nombre, cada uno queda con su obra, pero la verdad la mayoría de ellos causan un poco de gracia.

The cinema, since its discovery, was one way in which it represents a piece of reality, so who knows it can not witness it through the projection of the same. With this, I mean that cinema is a very practical tool, so that works in various ways; therapy, learning, illustrative, projective, promotional, marketing, emotional, etc. And others, I think, countless beneficial to unleash in our lives an essential element to the coexistence of places, people, stories and legends which sometimes have no access ways.

The cinema is located in schools, homes, travel, street in the old and new, is in and for different social classes, countries, personalities, etc. In short, the film is for everyone and indeed the great advantage is that it can also arise from all these places and times.

If sometimes you want to just use film to recreate, there is the possibility. If you want to use it to educate, may be used. To show someone some feeling, to train people in their work, to recreate experiences.

The cinema as an educational tool which gives a lot of experience and use. Personally, I have the experience to make him a psychological means to analyze personal and group problems; through film material are solved endless mental conditions, analytical capacity increases, are based experiences, fears and mental obstacles are overcome, finally, the film does more than magic when facing patients to the specific cinema projection for each problem present.

As for the teaching of English, I can say that to me has helped me film; one hears, sees and interacts with the emotions it provokes, and all that for me is a great set of resources that are available when you give yourself. Even when not even think you learn, you are learning, and film grabs you, transforms you, fills you up and in the end, it changes in such a way that change is itself, and thus, is how one learns best other language, appropriating it.

The experience of being part of a film-discussion left me much knowledge. Speaking of movies, specifically a film that a certain group of people just see, is to share emotions, experiences, thoughts and experiences that everything that group just had, at the same time and space. A piece of life is shared with those people.

I noticed that several people may feel the same at a time, being on the same channel, looking at life from a single perspective, but at the same time, not stopping being individual expressing themselves what everyone caught on that projection .

This joint work leaves me a good feeling, it would make.
