3. INTRODUCCION
Con las nuevas tendencias de la Globalización, el lenguaje extranjero y en especial el Ingles
entra a hacer parte de uno de los ejes principales de la comunicación, motivo que le da su
gran importancia en la educación actual, y la búsqueda de nuevos y mejores métodos de
enseñanza; Generando como primer pilar la suma necesidad de unas buenas bases en la
obtención de este lenguaje, bases que podemos ver plasmadas en el transcurso de este
trabajo a través de no solo el aprender a pronunciar el alfabeto en ingles, sino de
comprender la importancia de este, por medio de las reglas de vocalización y acentuación
de las mismas dentro de un palabra y sus silabas débiles o fuertes. También veremos el uso
del verbo ser o estar, preposiciones, preguntas con WH y vocabulario básico que será
aplicado en conversaciones cotidianas.
