Blended learning

Blended learning is the combination between the traditional education (presencial) and an education not presencial. Thanks to this type of learning each one can learn of a flexible form, being able to adapt the learning to his own pace and schedule. Also allows to the teacher to do an individualized follow-up of every student being able to adapt the task to the particular needs of each one of them

A good example of these is the course that we are realizing. In addition, we are using all the available teconologys for learning not presencial learning.

In Internet exists hundreds of pages dedicated to the not presencial language teaching way. Almost all the english courses that go out in television follow this formula. In addition, many of the languages academies use this type of education.

Some examples of these are:

In short, the blended learning is one of the best ways of languages learning.

Theory Module 1

Theory module 1 has been very interesting and useful. Thanks to this module we have learned the use of the new technologies in language learning. We can learn doing funny task. Also, we can centre on aspects that less dominate being able to repeat again and again the tasks. There are task on all the aspects: grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, pronunciation..
Also, I believe that there is very interesting language laboratory of University of Extremadura. I didn't know this project

The sites I like the most are:

http://www.lingolex.com/espan.htm: There is a lot of useful vocabulary, for example the food glossary
http://www.mansioningles.com/: Many task about all aspects. I like detective Rick Mansworth tasks

I must continue practising about all contents, specially in the listening and pronunciation

Welcome to my TICAI Blog

TICAI is aimed at learn english

The only way to learn english si practice and practice and practice and practice.... TICA allows us learn funny, we can learn to our own pace and can repeat so often since like. These tools facilitate the access to the english to everybody

Nevertheless, I believe that the learning of the pronunciation and communication is better in normal classes.
