English As Lingua Franca

Con el nombre de Inglés para Fines Específicos, mas conocido por el acrónimo inglés ESP, nos referimos a la variedad de la lengua inglesa que se enseña a los estudiantes matriculados en carreras como Económicas, Turismo, Medicina e Ingenierías. Desde sus inicios hasta la fecha hemos asistido a un gran crecimiento en el número de estudiantes y cursos ofertados, que ha obligado a poner en marcha prácticas docentes autónomas, es decir sin la participación de expertos en el campo, y replicativas, es decir prácticas que fueron inicialmente diseñadas para el aprendizaje de las destrezas profesionales, como por ejemplo el uso del estudio de casos procedente de los Masters of Business Administration (MBA). Ambos procesos, unidos al desarrollo del inglés como lingua franca y al interés por el desarrollo de una metodología que favorezca la autonomía de los estudiantes, se han traducido en un desarrollo espectacular de herramientas docentes de Internet. En este marco se sitúa este trabajo que se organiza en tres grandes apartados: (1) una precisión del concepto de ESP y una reinterpretación del mismo; (2) una revisión del concepto de lexicografía y del diccionario pedagógico; (3) una descripción de las posibilidades que ofrecen los diccionarios de Internet para poder leer textos de inglés empresarial/inglés económico. El artículo finaliza resumiendo las principales ideas defendidas en este trabajo.From its inception in the early 1960s, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has grown to become one of the most prominent areas of EFL teaching. ESP is usually concerned with the teaching of English used in academic studies and/or professional activities, especially the teaching of English related with Business/Economics, Tourism, Medicine, and Engineering. As the number of courses and students has grown considerably the original team teaching methodology is being substituted by a more autonomous approach in which both ESP instructors and students have to acquire knowledge of the basic concepts of the field by themselves, as well as upgrade their discourse competence. This new approach lends support to recent developments in the field of learner’s autonomy, especially those based on Internet (for example, Moodle) that are being promoted in this era of shortages and lack of resources. Within this framework, this article offers a review of the state of art regarding ESP, formulates a reconceptualization of the concept with the aim of making room to two recent developments: the consolidation of English as lingua franca; and the possibilities offered by the Internet for teaching and learning. It also enumerates the main basic requirements of pedagogically-oriented specialised dictionaries and illustrates some of their potentialities for assisting users in a reading situation. The article finishes by summarising the main conclusions drawn.

Teaching and learning is a bilateral process and students’ learning outcomes depend to a large extent on the motivation and performance of each individual teacher in the classroom and on the activities of all school teachers. Teacher's ability to evaluate and plan teaching and learning is one of the most important professional skills because systematic evaluation, planning and re-evaluation are an integral part of learning and maximization of development, which makes teaching effective and provides students with a profound understanding and competence. These are the means by which it can be ascertained that the results achieved are in line with national and local educational requirements. The paper analyzes the teachers' understanding of effective teaching and their skills to evaluate the teaching/learning process and to plan effective teaching as well as the need to improve teachers’ evaluation and planning skills.

The application of the learning model is one of the main factors in the learning process. This is because when applying the appropriate learning model, the learning process and learning outcomes will be as expected. There are several factors that support teachers in the learning process, namely the availability of mobile phones, quotas and a stable internet network. In addition to the factors that support bold learning, there are also several inhibiting factors for teachers in bold learning.

the effective learning is the learning that can stimulate the enthusiasm and enjoyment of students follow the learning process. However, the obstacle of that, there are no many Islamic religious education teachers who are skilled in preparing and implementing lessons that are able to arouse the enthusiasm of their students and the lack of attention from school principals on the development of PAI learning in schools, including the availability of inadequate facilities and infrastructure. Therefore, teachers must be creative in designing learning activities, one of which is using appropriate learning strategies. The learning strategy that can create active and creative learning is the PAIKEM strategy. PAIKEM is a teaching and learning strategy that contains six important elements, that are learning, active, innovative, creative, effective and fun. The six elements have different characteristics and interpretations and must be integrated by the teacher who will apply them. The supporting factors of PAIKEM implementation include infrastructure, the ability of teachers to implement PAIKEM, and the readiness of students to receive the lessons. The inhibiting factors in implementing PAIKEM include the number of students, time allocation, and schedule changes.

The population of this research is the fifth-grade students of SD Negeri 1 Kaobula which consists of 24 students. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the influence between the X variable (classroom action management) and the Y variable (Civics learning outcomes) has a strong influence between the two variables. If we look at the amount of oxy obtained, namely: 0, 620 it turns out to be between 0.40. 0.60. It can be stated that the correlation between variable X and variable Y is a relatively strong influence. Thus, the authors can simply give an interpretation of the oxy, namely that there is a significant positive effect between variable X and variable Y.

Data Design

Teacher creativity to create a fun teaching and learning atmosphere plays an important role in developing the potential of students. For example, teachers can develop an effective learning media to engage students in meaningful learning. However, few teachers can develop learning media as is the case in MIN 4 Jember. From the preliminary study, they found it difficult to develop an effective instructional media which caused student learning outcomes low. Thus, this study aims to develop an effective pop-up book based media to improve the learning outcomes of natural event themes of students in class I of MIN 4 Jember. The present research employs the development study by modifying the Brog and Gall development model. The model consists of several stages, namely: finding a problem; collecting data; design / product development; design / product validation; design / product revision; and trial use. The final product of this research is in the form of pop-up book based media developed from two aspects, material aspects and media aspects. The results of the validity trials obtained from experts on learning materials were 88% and experts on learning media were 82% with valid qualifications. The t-related test results also showed a significant difference between the acquisition of the learning outcomes of the control class and the experimental class that was 25%. It can be concluded that this pop-up book based media is appropriate for use in learning and is effective in improving the first grader students learning outcomes of natural event theme of MIN 4 Jember.
