Scientific Foundation. Every time more importance is granted to foreign languages learning, particularly in English, since this it is a very important tool to communicate in the global world. In spite of the social interest to dominate a second language, it is unavoidable to debate on the methods and resources that are more appropriate to get an effective learning. Many people consider that learning English is very important to put it into practice in their daily life, although they recognize that to learn is difficult, but not impossible, because this would allow him to have bigger access to the labor world. Xxxxxxx's teaching should be a necessity for the student with a purpose at the end. The student should see the language like a tool that can use for own interests. Teaching methods have great importance in the study of foreign languages, fundamentally the auditory, visual and audiovisual. Researchers in this matter sustain that: It is needed; approximately, 7 times less to capture the essential qualities from an object when seeing it directly that if is described in an oral way. The human being perceives the information better through two channels: auditory and visual (11% and 83%, respectively). The visual means used in the classes of languages that are based on the communicative focus of the teaching, frame the students in a situational context and wake up their interest and motivation to learn another language besides that facilitate to the teachers the teaching of the new content, because it is done without translation or defining certain terms or concepts and they speed up the educational work in the classes. In this digital age, the challenge of the society and, especially, of the educational systems it is to combine the technology and the modernity reasonably; to generate a change that goes introducing in the pedagogic pattern of teaching-learning, growing dose of self-learning and cultivating an irrevocable audiovisual culture that contributes to facilitate the access to the knowledge and to improve the levels of preparation of the town in diverse fields of the educational formation. The means have always constituted very important elements in the process of teaching-learning of a language; these have passed from the sheet, the cardboard, the recorder, the projector and the radio until the arrival of the computer, the television and the video. The audiovisual resources are essential to print actual events, naturalness and authenticity to the process, to demonstrate ...
Scientific Foundation. In the regular education system that has been adopted by conventional texts or just for marketing they are eminently academic and for that, they are not thought for the teaching - learning process of English applied to technical subjects. For this, it becomes almost mandatory to elaborate a Booklet of a Technical Vocabulary6that allows capturing the student's attention by means of motivation activities and related with the electricity option specifically, because of the difficulty on getting in the market a text that develops the contents related with technical modules entirely. That´s why the necessity of organize them, go deeper or completing their development. Usually the texts from the market require adaptation to the context in the formative action, developed either in examples or in statistical data, among others. The necessity to integrate in a single document the kindness of the reading guides, the valuation and exercises´ booklets, and also all the orientations and strategies that lead the student to success the autonomous learning. We know if we use the correct terminology we will have the key. What we may use for one word in an instruction book for one thing may mean something completely different in any other country, or maybe it does not have a meaning at all. Some people call this type of adaptation ‘localization’ and offer it as a separate service to translation – we don’t, we do it on everything we do – any translation should be fit for purpose and market, and if it isn’t, it simply is not a good translation of an instruction manual! Sometimes the difference in terminology is simply the use of a vocabulary, sometimes it’s just cultural. What’s more, the resulting text should be correct –and in fact, it does not look like a translation at all. According to the items from above, when we translate English manuals or books, we must aware that we need to use the right linguist firstly. It is okay thinking that using a French speaking English person to translate into French will work7, but most of the time it simply won't. Also, using linguists who have been out of their home country; the country you are living to, is an issue. Industries, trends and terminology change a 6 XXXXX, Xxxxxxx & XXXXX, Xxxxxx.

Scientific Foundation. This investigation topic is based in the necessity that exists of strengthening the process of learning of the English language in the students of Ninth Grade of Basic Education at ―El Triunfo‖ High School, taking into account that nowadays technology is in constant evolution, what causes that we all are part of it becoming this way on its main beneficiaries. It is essential to point out that technology without a doubt is very important inside all the environments and it opens us the doors of a new age, a new vision in which we should be conscious that the information is a very outstanding element. This new stage of improvement will provide impact in the formation of the teaching and the learning process with the purpose of improving the quality of people's life inside an environment, providing an Interactive Compact disk for the teaching - learning of the English Language. It is in this way how it settles down the main reasons for those that the educational System could never be to the margin of the new changes, since its main objective is based on offering benefits to the society, having bigger emphasis in the fundamental improvement that consists on favor the teaching and give everything that supports the impulse of it. Multimedia has been defined in a number of ways. It is not our intention here to go into the details of these definitions. But, in order to clarify the use of the term in the context of the book, we would prefer to quote a few of them: Definition 1: ―Multimedia is the combination of a variety of communication channels into a coordinated communicative experience for which an integrated cross-channel language of interpretation does not exist‖ (Xxxxx-Xxxx, 2001). This definition gives way for two approaches—one that is termed the ―multiple-media‖ utilization, and the other in which a combination of different channels acquires unification as a medium. The latter approach leads us to the next definition: Definition 2: ―… multimedia can be defined as an integration of multiple media elements (audio, video, graphics, text, animation, etc.) into one synergetic and symbiotic whole that results in more benefits for the end user than any one of the media elements can provide individually‖ (Reddi, 2003). Definition 2 essentially tries to emphasize the second approach of Definition 1 with more clarity and spells out the components of multimedia. Taking a systems theory perspective, it also tells us that the overall effectiveness of multimedia is bett...
Scientific Foundation. In Cooperative Learning the students work with their peers to accomplish a shared or common goal. The goal is reached through interdependence among all group members rather than working alone. Each member is responsible for the outcome of the shared goal. "Cooperative learning does not take place in a vacuum." Not all groups are cooperative groups. Putting groups together in a room does not mean cooperative learning is taking place. In order to have effective cooperative learning the following 5 essential elements are needed.
