    (2009-01-01) Guevara Aguilar, Daniel Enrique; Campos Maldonado, Ledwin Geovany; Novoa Segura, Daniel Alexander; Glower de Alvarado, Ana María; Franco, Rhina
    Good education, this subject matter has become quite thought-provoking since it is said this is what young generations lack of. Many parents wonder if there is a correct way to educate their children. They feel really worried about the kind of world their family live in and what they will teach them so they can be righteous people. Yes, the concern of the lack of moral values has dramatically risen in recent years. To many parents, the dealing with the abuse of drugs, the moral relaxation and even the lack of values is a matter or extraordinary concern. Educating people is a huge topic with no accurate recipe. There is no one who can say -being astonishingly truthful- the correct manner to rise children with proper morality. This work contains a broad perspective of humanizing the education delivered. Application of moral values and humanization as the core of education is the focus. The Foreign Language Department is not the exception in this matter. It does not include in the curriculum a continuum of moral values throughout the courses in the curriculum of the FLD. This research portrays the perception of all components of the Foreign Language Department on this matter. Also, it establishes a relation between the role of values in secular education, psychology. The involvement of educators in transmitting values to their students as well as the consequences or effects of this acting is discussed, too.

Moreover, once having all this information in formal paper what really matters is how teachers implement it and try to achieve the objectives relating to each course and subject that compounds the curriculum; so students can reach the main goal of not just understanding the learning strategies and styles, but apply them in real context when communicating by using the second language. On the other hand, to know about strategies and styles that work not just to improve the process of learning a second language, but once they become teachers they will be able to be successful in teaching English as a second language, because as teachers they will know when to use certain learning strategies that will be appropriate for each learning style. At the end, all of these facts allowed the research on “Knowing about learning strategies and learning styles can be helpful to improve the learning of English as a Second Language” and also show the new generations of students, future teachers and professionals in the teaching area that is necessary to take into account the different strategies oriented to improve or create new habits of learning in the population of University Students

    Reflexionando sobre la docencia como un homenaje a todos los docentes en su día
    (Universidad de El Salvador. Editorial Universitaria, 2013-04-01) Glower de Alvarado, Ana María
    En las últimas décadas se ha cuestionado la función tradicional del profesorado y se han propuesto alternativas para cambiar el rol que tiene que realizar. El siguiente articulo analiza este cambio de rol en el profesorado, considerando el aporte de algunos expertos en investigación educativa, quienes afirman la diversidad de roles que los docentes puedes desempeñar. El papel del profesor como transmisor del conocimiento que monopoliza ha quedado obsoleto en el mundo actual. Sin embargo, no estan aún claros los límites o la definición de la profesión docente, se vislumbra un nuevo papel de profesional u podría decirse que su rol será orientador, mediador, estimulador y motivador del desarrollo personal y social de su alumnado y de investigador de su propia práctica. Para la autora, introducir y desarrollar un nuevo concepto profesional implica tiempo y un forme propósito de reestructurar la formación inicial permanente, y modificar la mentalidad que prevalece en torno a la profesión. El nuevo papel docente viene determinado por la acción conjunta de la autocrítica del profesorado, los requisitos sociopolíticos y la evolución del propio sistema educativo. Este cambio obliga a una continua toma de decisiones y a una formación permanente.

Many people feel frustrated when trying to study, they think they are not intelligent or they are not born to enroll in any learning process because they are unable to succeed. On the other hand, there are some others who without apparently much effort do well. However, latest research about the usefulness in learning English as foreign language has found important information on learning strategies which mean mental processes or actions used in the acquisition and the use of the English Language. Nevertheless, to make more productive those strategies students should know their learning style; this is the manner that a person has to acquire and manipulate information. Once the people know their learning style they can choose the strategies that best fit for them. This bibliographic research is a study of the use of learning styles and learning strategies in learning English as a foreign language. Its purpose is to inquire about learning styles and strategies that could be used in the process of learning English as a foreign language. It also describes the four dimensions of language learning styles: sensory preferences, personality type, desire degree of generality and biological differences. Besides, it presents the types of learning strategies direct and indirect and the benefits that these learning tools represent for teachers and students who are in the process of teaching and learning English as a foreign language.
