New technologies have invaded our daily lives, and as a consequence the use of computers and internet inside the classroom is progressively more frequent. At the same time, subtitling as a teaching/learning tool has become more popular. For that purpose, scholars such as Delabastita (1989), Sokoli (2006) or Talaván (2013) have been researching how the adaptation of these subtitling methods will have some influence in the learning/teaching process. Thus, the aim of this paper is to present an interlingual subtitling task in a class for English for Specific Purposes students (from a university degree of architecture), in order to improve their receptive skills (commonly known as listening and reading). Along these lines, this paper will explore the use of Task Based Learning in ESP classes and it will propose a teaching unit for further implementation in a university class of English for the degree of architecture, discussing the advantages and repercussions it may have for the acquisition and improvement of the aforementioned passive skills. Keywords: Subtitling; English for Specific Purposes; Task Based Learning; Passive Skills; Architecture.

This article aims at approaching subtitling as a tool for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) students. It provides a description of the important role audiovisual translation (AVT) plays in language teaching/learning. It is based on scholars' work, including (Sokoli 2006; Diaz Cintas  2013; Talavan 2007).  This paper tackles the pedagogical application of subtitling in an ESP context as it enhances individual and collaborative learning, exposure to and interaction with real and new complex situations, and developing different linguistic skills.  The article presents a classification of the different types of subtitles that are used in language teaching/learning and considers the pros of using subtitled videos as a didactic tool to enhance vocabulary learning for ESP students. Accordingly, the paper emphasises active subtitling, a technique in which learners create their own subtitles, especially with the groundbreaking progress of IT technology (Diaz Cintas 2012; Talavan 2013). The article ends by presenting the findings of an experiment I have conducted in my engineering classes on the basis of active subtitles.

En el presente artículo nos preguntamos cuál es el papel de las nuevas tecnologías en las aulas y, más en concreto, en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de los futuros profesores. Además, nos planteamos si la enseñanza a distancia es adecuada para el buen desarrollo de dicho proceso, así como si para el desarrollo del conocimiento del estudiante y las nuevas tecnologías como herramienta docente son adecuadas al paradigma educativo actual, como estrategia de innovación educativa. Para ello se ha llevado a cabo un estudio de carácter cuantitativo, aplicando a los participantes, profesores de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad Autonóma de Madrid que imparten su docencia en el Máster de Formación de Profesorado durante el curso 2018. Se trata de un cuestionario estructurado creado ad hoc. Las respuestas al cuestionario nos ha aportado datos sobre las necesidades e inquetudes que tiene el profesorado que forma a futuros profesorado de Educación Secundaria, respecto al uso de herramientas tecnológicas en el aula y su implicación como estrategia innovadora en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. El análisis de los resultados ha permitido comprobar que las las nuevas tecnologías constituyen un gran reto en las aulas en nuestros días, introduciendo nuevas metodologías de enseñanza que se pueden compaginar con la enseñanza tradicional. New technologies are present in our daily lives and education is not exempt from them. In this article we ask ourselves what their role is in the classrooms and, more specifically, in the teaching-learning process. In addition, we ask whether distance education is adequate for the proper development of said process and for the development of student knowledge; as well as if new technologies as a teaching tool are appropriate to the educational paradigm. The global teaching-learning process is limited to the precise moment in which there is an effective transmission of information that originates from a sender (teachers) and reaches a receiver (students). The characteristic communicative act of the teaching-learning pedagogical process allows us to question ourselves about the suitability, the didactic adequacy and the impact of the use of new communication and information technologies in the classroom at the individual and social level. Besides, the strengths and weaknesses of learning about the use of new technologies in the classroom are analyzed.

Bahasa is one of the important materials taught in Indonesian schools for the important roles in our daily lives. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of learning in a remote island in Flores. The method used is qualitative descriptive with a naturalistic approach and case study. This research was conducted in several places in a remote area on the island of Flores, East Nusa Tenggara. The result shows that Bahasa language learning in the remote area of Flores island is not maximal enough. Primary school teachers are still applying the conventional learning techniques and they do not want to be role models for the teaching-learning process.

Teaching biochemistry in higher education is increasingly becoming a challenge. It is notoriously difficult for students to assimilate the topic; in addition there are many complaints about the complexity of subjects and a lack of integration with the day-to-day. A recurrent problem in undergraduate courses is the absence of teaching practice in specific disciplines. This work aimed to stimulate students in the biological sciences course who were enrolled in the discipline of MOLECULAR DIVERSITY (MD), to create hypothetical classes focused on basic education highlighting the proteins topic. The methodology was applied in a class that contained 35 students. Seven groups were formed, and each group chose a protein to be used as a source of study for elementary school classes. A lesson plan was created focusing on the methodology that the group would use to manage a class. The class was to be presented orally. Students were induced to be creative and incorporate a teacher figure, and to propose teaching methodologies for research using the CTS approach (Science, Technology and Society). Each group presented a three-dimensional structure of the protein they had chosen, explained their structural features and functions and how they would develop the theme for a class of basic education, and what kind of methodology they would use for this purpose. At the end of the presentations, a questionnaire was given to students in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology in the teaching-learning process. The activity improved the teacher’s training and developed skills and abilities, such as creativity, didactical planning, teaching ability, development of educational models and the use of new technologies. The methodology used in this work was extremely important to the training of future teachers, who were able to better understand the content covered in the discipline and relate it to day-to-day life.
