Teaching Speaking Many language learners regard speaking ability as the measure of knowing a language. These learners define fluency as the ability to converse with others, much more than the ability to read, write, or comprehend oral language. They regard speaking as the most important skill they can acquire, and they assess their progress in terms of their accomplishments in spoken communication. Language learners need to recognize that speaking involves three areas of knowledge: In the communicative model of language teaching, instructors help their students develop this body of knowledge by providing authentic practice that prepares students for real-life communication situations.

Técnicas de desarrollo de la Creatividad: Mapas mentales El Mapa Mental es una técnica desarrollada por el psicólogo británico Tony Buzan a mediados de los años 90. Con ella accedemos a los espacios mentales de una forma más creativa. Es una técnica gráfica con la que organizamos las ideas a partir de una imagen central y desde la que se generan nuevas ideas acompañadas de otras imágenes que se relacionan con la idea central. Esta técnica tiene en cuenta la forma en que el cerebro recoge, procesa y almacena información. El resultado final es una imagen visual que facilita obtener la información que encierra, analizarla, completarla… Este método permite que las ideas generen otras ideas y podamos ver cómo se conectan, se relacionan y se expanden libres de cualquier tipo de organización lineal. Un aprendizaje visual permite reforzar la comprensión, invita a integrar nuevo conocimiento, identifica errores conceptuales e incomprensiones, ayuda a depurar el pensamiento. ¿Qué es un Mapa Mental? Un soporte para estructurar las ideas. 1. 2. 3. ¿Cómo? 4.

The Best Social Tools from Social Media Weekend Remember that classic Super Bowl ad showing cowboys herding cats? Well, the challenge may feel much the same for social media users, even adept ones like journalists and journalism educators who revel in the technology’s transformative power but who can find themselves drowning in the torrent that pours non-stop from social platforms like Twitter, Facebook and dozens of smaller ones. So when social media experts gather, as 500 or so did at Social Media Weekend, hosted by Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in New York last weekend, they naturally spend lots of time griping about the overload, then frenetically sharing notes about the technologies and techniques that’ll keep them afloat as they brave the social media flood.

Are stock prices affected by social media? - FTSE Global Markets According to a survey of 360 UK financial professionals carried out by Colt Technology Services, social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook are affecting share price volatility. The research found that 63% of respondents, including brokers and heads of trading desks, believe the valuation of individual stocks can be directly linked to public sentiment contained in social media channels. While only 7% of respondents regard social media sentiment as an important indicator, just under half (45%) of respondents regard it as a trailing indicator, demonstrating that social media definitely has a role to play. Firms such as hedge funds and proprietary trading houses are now able to scan social media data at random and then categorise messages into one of a range of public mood states. The firms then use algorithmic or high frequency trading strategies to place trade orders, enabling them to potentially steal a march on competitors who trade using more traditional forms of data.
