The document discusses implementing a wiki to foster English as a foreign language (EFL) learning. The teacher, Yohamer Ernesto Guevara Salazar, created a wiki called www.yohamer.wikispaces.com to increase student exposure to English, motivate students to learn, and reinforce classroom learning. The wiki provides a way for communication, collaboration, and project-based learning since the school lacks resources like buildings, internet access, CD players, and multimedia rooms. It allows students to access course materials like slides, games, announcements, makeup work, videos and each other's work to learn English both inside and outside the classroom.
