6. STATEMENT OF PERSONAL LEARNING GOALS.
English is one the most important and spoken languages around the world, its
importance stimulates people to manage it in all the skills (listening, speaking, reading
and writing) in an almost perfect way. Also, everybody is involved with this language in
all aspects: economic, social, political and others. So, that is why people want to learn or
acquire more knowledge of this language, but in some cases teachers don´t know the best
way to teach it, and that is the main reason because I have chosen this subject.
Internet and Multimedia, will help me in my professional development by learning
the most innovative strategies to transmit the knowledge to students, because in some
cases we don´t know how to teach especially a new language to students and what are the
best techniques and methods to apply in a class. Also, in this subject I will Describe
evaluation criteria used to critically analyze the content of Web pages, develop research
skills by using the Internet to obtain and bookmark free online journals and Web sites
about language skills, grammar, functions, pronunciation and other linguistic and
methodological aspects of English language learning and teaching, develop
microteaching presentations using Internet resources that promote authentic language
learning and enhance the learners’ EFL communicative competence, integrate different
Web 2.0 tools to teach English in a collaborative problem -and project- based learning
approach, create effective teaching electronic materials and online resources to
implement them in the EFL classroom in order to get the expected learning outcomes. At
the end of this course with these specific objectives I will Generate verbal and nonverbal
communication in order to optimize communication skills in academic and professional
process as ethical and social principles.
I will contribute to attain the learning outcomes successfully by investigating and
applying the different methods that will be teach in class. Also, I will ask for teacher´s
advice to correct my mistakes while trying to apply the methods on students to achieve
in them the objectives proposed.

Course Description:
Internet and Multimedia Resources is a module which trains future teachers in the use of
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) tools to teach English as a foreign language.
On successful completion of this module, students will be able to search information on the web
and describe evaluation criteria used to critically analyze the content of Web pages. There will
also be emphasis on developing research skills by using the Internet to obtain and bookmark
free online journals and Web sites about language skills, grammar, functions, pronunciation and
other linguistic and methodological aspects of English language learning and teaching. Future
teachers will also have to develop microteaching presentations using Internet resources that
promote authentic language learning and enhance the learners’ EFL communicative
competence. Another goal of this course is to train teachers to integrate different Web 2.0 tools
to teach English in a collaborative problem -and project- based learning approach. This course
will be developed through a learning platform or virtual learning environment in Moodle as well
as online tools such as email, Google docs, etc. Problem -and project- based learning will be

36. FINAL REFLECTION
English as one of the most taught languages around the world has made teachers
and scientists to find different ways to teach it to students in the best ways, but sometimes
the methods are not well applied to students and they don´t achieve the objectives as they
were expected to be.
Internet and Multimedia, was a subject in which I learnt how to include technology
in a class and how to take advantages of it. Internet and Multimedia helped me to find
ways to make a class better using the big technological strategies we have in these days.
In this subject I learnt different traditional and innovative methods with their
characteristics, their advantages and disadvantages and how to apply them in a class.
Based, on the methods I learnt how to plan lessons according to the objectives I would
like in students to achieve. Also, Internet and Multimedia, made me value the important
role of a teacher in student´s life, because the teacher can make students to have a good
or bad rapport between them and the language. Further, the teacher is the person who is
in charge of find the way to make students learn.
In conclusion, it was one of the most important subjects for me especially for my
future profession as a teacher. Internet and Multimedia, provided me with the best ways
to transmit the knowledge and one of the most important things that is setting objectives.
In addition, this subject is the one who started to prepare me for my future life in the best
way.
