La lectura en voz alta en la clase de lecto-comprensión: herramientas y pistas para el mejoramiento de la pronunciación.
Resumen
La experiencia revela que la enseñanza-aprendizaje del idioma extranjero, en nuestro caso el inglés, en el ciclo polimodal se focaliza en la lectura comprensiva de textos cuya especificidad varía según la orientación elegida por cada alumno. La lecto-comprensión podría ser entonces una instancia provechosa para incorporar herramientas y estrategias altamente eficaces que contribuirían a mejorar la comprensión lectora y a fomentar la correcta e inteligible pronunciación y producción oral en ambas lenguas. Esto tendría lugar tanto en español como en inglés, al implementar este enfoque que utilizaría la lectura en voz alta como estrategia principal. Nuestro equipo de trabajo aspira a incluir en las actividades de lectura comprensiva la práctica de la pronunciación de palabras y frases clave, aisladas y en contexto, prestando especial atención a las pausas, al ritmo, a la acentuación y entonación de los textos en cuestión. Desde nuestra área de Fonética y Fonología trabajamos conjuntamente con las áreas de Lengua Inglesa, Gramática-Lingüística y Lengua Española y la práctica ha arrojado buenos resultados en la interdisciplinariedad; es por ello que exponemos esta propuesta para llevar nuestras ideas al aula y los invitamos a compartirla con nosotros.

    Spanglish

    Spanglish is considered by some linguistics a threat for the linguistic purity of English and Spanish mutualy. Ilan Stanvans quotes in his article that the Nobel Prize-winner Octavio Paz once have said about Spanglish: “Ni es bueno ni es malo, sino adominable”. Analyzing this statement is possible to comprehend the prejudice connected with this language. There is a jargon about Spanish: part Spanish and part English, with neither gravitas nor clear identity. The purists claim a language that would turn into a “ McLengua “. Nevertheless Spanglish is quiet controversial since there is in one side a huge community of defenses of language purity, on the another side there is a Latino community amalgamating both language to feel integrated equally in the new society without losing the cultural heritage. Language is the most democratic form of expression of the human spirit.…

    Grimm Laws

    • 4 Pages

    Grimm’s law, description of the regular correspondences in Indo-European languages formulated by Jacob Grimm in his Deutsche Grammatik (1819–37; “Germanic Grammar”); it pointed out prominent correlations between the Germanic and other Indo-European languages of Europe and western Asia. The law was a systematic and coherent formulation, well supported by examples, of patterns recognized as early as 1814 by the Danish philologist Rasmus Kristian Rask. It is important for historical linguistics because it clearly demonstrates the principle that sound change is a regular phenomenon and not a random process affecting only some words, as had been thought previously.…

    This book shows an important influence from the communicative method for students to effectively speak English. Students are encouraged to use the language in classroom to interact with classmates (unit 1 page 11 and 13).

    The teaching of reading at secondary schools seems to be inadequate and not satisfying (Duffy and Rohehler 1981-82 Durkin 1978-1979). Many students have low motivation in learning English especially in the reading class. Many students say that English is not an interesting subject. For that reason, they take the English class because it is a compulsory subject for them to pass the three semesters. As a result the students turn to be less active readers and at the end they might remain less competent in the reading skill.…

    Intelligent readers are not born; they are taught. Consequently, pre-reading stage of learning must be set well in order to provide the necessary and proper background for the successful start in actual reading activities. If the learner fails at the initial stage, he will experience adversity and failure in reading as he goes through the grades. Mastery of the simple reading skills is required before tackling higher level reading skills so as to ensure smooth and efficient interpretation of the symbols. In some cases, learners are unable to comprehend the passage because they need additional background knowledge or vocabulary, but many learners struggle with comprehension because they have not yet developed a repertoire of strategies for monitoring and supporting their comprehension. Others view reading simply as a decoding process and do not actively consider comprehension. Some readers struggle with comprehension because they are unfamiliar with various types of text such as poems, narratives, or expository text or passage. (Curtis and Longo, 2007)…
