La Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO), desde 1948, destaca la importancia del aprendizaje de una segunda lengua debido a las potencialidades que supone a nivel profesional, académico, social, cultural e incluso personal. Entendiendo que se avanza a una sociedad tecnológica, los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje rompen los esquemas tradicionales e incorporan entornos virtuales de aprendizaje que permiten la aplicación de tecnologías. Al aprender una lengua extranjera, se tiende a “traspasar” de alguna manera el conocimiento sobre las estructuras y rasgos de la lengua materna. A esta influencia de la lengua materna sobre la lengua extranjera se llama “transferencia” que en muchas ocasiones obstaculiza la producción en esta segunda lengua. El propósito de ésta investigación es describir una estrategia empleada para el aprovechamiento del entorno virtual en el aprendizaje de los módulos de inglés con el uso de la plataforma Moodle para los 114 estudiantes de Ciencias de la Salud y Ciencias de la Ingeniería, considerados parte de la generación “Y”, a través de un estudio de caso único, factual e intrínseco, teniendo un nivel descriptivo, heurístico e inductivo. Los resultados de la investigación determinaron que con el uso del entorno virtual a través de una estrategia el aprendizaje de una segunda lengua presenta mayores oportunidades ya que docente y alumnos pueden estar separados con respecto a la sincronía y esto no es obstáculo para que el aprendizaje se lleve a cabo con éxito, esta herramienta de apoyo ayuda a sellar el conocimiento adquirido para luego perfeccionarlo con la práctica.   Palabras clave: Entorno virtual de aprendizaje, Inglés, Proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, TIC   ABSTRACT   The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has highlighted since 1948 the importance of learning a second language because of its professional, social, cultural, academic, and even personal potentials. Understanding that it moves towards a technological society, the processes of teaching and learning break the traditional schemes and incorporate new virtual learning environments that allow the implementation of technologies. By learning a foreign language, it tends to “pass” in somehow the knowledge about the structures and features of the mother tongue into the foreign language. This influence of the mother tongue on the foreign language is called “transfer” which often impedes production in the second language. The purpose of this research is to create a virtual learning environment in the English modules using Moodle for 114 UNEMI students of Health and Engineering Sciences, who are considered part of the generation “Y” through a single, factual and intrinsic case study, with a descriptive, heuristic and inductive level. The results of this research determined that the use of ICT tools when learning a second language presents greater opportunities for the teacher and students because they both can be separated with respect to the synchrony and this is not an obstacle, so learning is conducted with success; this support tool helps the acquired knowledge to become perfect with practice.   Key words: Virtual Learning Environment, English, teaching-learning process, ICT   Recibido: febrero de 2015Aprobado: abril de 2015

This chapter reports the application and utilization of virtual learning environment (VLE) in schools, specifically focused on Malaysian schools. The VLE utilization is an initiative by the Ministry of Education (MOE) Malaysia in its vision to embrace the global changes and advancement of technology. With the advancement of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0), this topic is especially important to address. This chapter discusses the provisions of technology-based facilities and tools in schools as part of the change initiatives by MOE Malaysia, and the accompanied teaching and learning practices and trainings affecting the teachers and students. These efforts are exemplified through specific programs which have been implemented namely e-Portfolio in the Genosis Program and Google Classroom, and by linking such endeavors to the Malaysia Education Blueprint. These initiatives are always challenging especially when it involves the utilization of the exponentially advancing technologies. This chapter also highlights the pursuing impacts and challenges of the initiatives on teachers, students, selected schools, and their receptions to change.

Recent advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provide an opportunity to build a self growing and sharing virtual environment for teaching and learning. Cloud computing is one of the latest technological advancement in ICT domain. Cloud computing technologies have changed the way applications are developed and accessed. A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is a system for delivering learning materials to students via the web. Cloud computing is provides one of the most emerging cost effective solution for virtual learning and teaching environment. This paper discusses how cloud computing has been contributing to virtual learning environment and an overview of the current state of the structure of Cloud Computing based e-learning is discussed. The readers will also find a brief overview of cloud computing and the different efficient cloud based virtual learning models. Towards the end different offers from different cloud vendors are discussed.

In recent years, blended learning has been utilizing in a variety of contexts. It emerges as one of the most popular pedagogical approaches which integrate face-to-face classes with the virtual learning environment. It offers learners considerable resources and materials. Many researchers have reported on it since it thrived. It offers learners flexibility. It also gives the learners choices about when and where they learn and participate in online learning. Therefore, it is used for teaching and training worldwide since many researchers found it an effective way to be used in the teaching-learning process. It is believed to enhance learners' understanding of learning a foreign language. Some researchers also found that blended learning affects learners' self-efficacy stronger than the other instructional modes. This study employed qualitative research. It was used to determine how blended learning was applied in a class to boost learners' self-efficacy. In conclusion, the developments of technology recently encourage educators to apply a blended learning environment in the classroom. One of the important things is how it should be implemented to help the learners develop their self-efficacy and achieve their academic goals.

This study is aimed to investigate students’ levels of engagement in learning English literature for traditional learning and virtual learning environment. There are four dimensions of engagement that were studied, which are the cognitive, behavioural, emotional and agentic engagement. A self-determination theory perspective on student engagement by Reeve (2012) was used for the foundation of this study. A questionnaire of School Engagement Measure was used to collect data from 80 respondents. The data were analysed using descriptive analysis utilizing the SPSS software. The results of this study show that the engagement level of the virtual learning environment is higher than the engagement level of the traditional learning. Based on the results, further research is recommended to focus on the effectiveness of virtual learning environment in the classroom for the teaching and learning process.
