    Certainly, virtual education also referred to as online, remote, and distance education is an old teaching modality around the globe. It originated back in the 1960s in The U.S. A correspondence-based course via postal service. Technology has come to change not only the way people work but also the way people learn. Nevertheless, nobody was completely prepared for the challenge that virtual education brought. Have teachers and students acquired or changed their roles, activities, or even their skills to face that education modality? Books and notebooks are now students and teachers’ computers, tablets, etc. Furthermore, the classroom is now a digital platform where people from anywhere join. Therefore, another key question arises, how do these evolving roles impact on methodologies applied to virtual environments? These are the underlying questions that this research work aims to address. Hence, the students of this specialization course, went over several technological resources to design and develop virtual classes. Besides that, students developed teaching content through virtual platforms so as to adequate methodologies to their current needs of virtual learners. All in all, the new skills and knowledge acquired during this lesson by the students of the specialty course was also attached to this work.

    This report is about the main tools we were able to discover as teachers for us to use with groups of students or people interested in learning English as second language. These technological tools such as Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Office 360 Suits, Kahoot, Padlet, PowToon, among many others, will help students to get connected to a new world of opportunities to acquire the knowledge they need, and teachers to learn how to design virtual classrooms to teach engaging classes at any time by just having an available network connection and a device just as a tablet, computer or even a smartphone. To bring an example, Kahoot is an online learning platform in which teachers can design many activities such as quizzes, memory games, questionnaires that help them check vocabulary reviews, and get scores from it making it an extraordinary teaching experience. This platform alone saves teachers a lot of time, and help students have fun and enjoy every single class and being a win win for facilitators and students.

    The use of online and computer-assisted translation tools combined with traditional techniques in the translation process.
    (Universidad de El Salvador. Facultad de Ciencias y Humanidades., 2024-07-29) Castro Aguilar, Walter Igor; Polanco Menjivar, Wendy Marilyn; Reyes Lopez, Nohemy Elizabeth; Carranza Campos, Miguel Ángel; ca07037@ues.edu.sv; pm05031@ues.edu.sv
    Nowadays, the use of online and computer-assisted translation tools plays an important role in the way translators are being assisted in the translation process. Translators have the advantage of using both the traditional translation process and the well-known techniques such as transposition, adaptation, modulation, equivalence, adaptation, combined with the online tools to deliver better results. Thus, the quality and the accuracy of translation projects has improved significantly. This report aims to explore the different options available for translators and how to make the process more efficient so that it can be achieved without great effort, different from the way it was done in the past. Additionally, when translators combine online tools with traditional techniques, the amount of workload decreases substantially which provides translators the chance to work on larger projects. In this changing and demanding world, computer-assisted translation facilitates and assists human translators providing a range of tools for submitting, editing, and storing content to be translated into a certain language but humans play an important role and they can never be replaced by any CAT tool.

    Different types of translation processes to translate legal documents to improve the reliability of the translation
    (Universidad de El Salvador. Facultad de Ciencias y Humanidades., 2023-11) ; Martínez Pineda, Gerardo Antonio; Vásquez Cubias, Néstor Alexander; Bonilla Miranda, Karla Alexandra; Torres Melendez, Cristian Alexander; Carranza Campos, Miguel Ángel; ; mp18010@ues.edu.sv; vc04013@ues.edu.sv; bm15011@ues.edu.sv
    This paper presents the correct usage of an organized and established Translation Process as a pivotal role in producing a high quality translation. In a common context marked by the incorrect interchangeability of terms like ‘translation’ and ‘interpretation, (despite they having distinct meanings) there is a common misconception that translations can be done spontaneously by multilingual speakers without following any kind of translation process, thus translating automatically with little or no preparation. Incorporating evidence of a personal Translation Process, this study aims to demonstrate that the Translation Process is actually a crucial part of the actual translation that should not be skipped by any new or experienced translators, and that it actually impacts the quality of work produced at the time whenever a process is not developed. This paper argues for the need of every translator to develop and tailor their own Translation Process to ensure the quality of their work, the fidelity to the source language and also to make sure the translation is effective and meaningful for the target audience.

    The purpose of this report is aimed to know what the Importance of Collaborative Learning in Online Education is. Collaborative learning has changed the learning environment in many positive ways. Teamwork and collaboration are essential in Today´s School. The team used all the online tools in a collaborative process to achieve the objectives and applications used during the three modules developed in the specialization “Administration of Virtual Environments for Foreign Language Teaching and Learning”. An important aspect is that by working collaboratively, students have the opportunity to develop their own ideas, sharing their opinions and creating their own learning. During this specialization the team practiced with all the online tools and applications that were learned during every session besides the different activities that allowed to work collaboratively and, as a benefit, it allowed to better understand the use of each online tool. By practicing activities collaboratively students will be able to aim critical thinking and it will allow them to build their own criteria about different topics. Collaborative work brings many benefits for students and as teachers we must continue working hard in order to apply the best techniques that may benefit students' learning process. Based on the experience obtained during the three modules and after practicing and learning about each online tool, as well as the research done about the Importance of Collaborative Learning in Online Education, the team can assure that implementing collaborative activities and assignments in Online Education generate more student’s participation, motivation, and self-learning. Collaborative work brings many benefits to students and as future teachers we feel more than motivated to apply this important technique on each of our future classes.

    Analysis of the essential qualities and resources young adults must have for a successful english distance learning
    (Universidad de El Salvador, Facultad de Ciencias y Humanidades, 2024-05-14) Cruz Morán, Hilda Raquel; Hernández Guzmán, Nathaly Mabel; Rivera Méndez, Alexander Humberto; Reyes de Amaya, Cecilia ; Carranza Campos, Miguel Ángel; cm12081@ues.edu.sv; hg13023@ues.edu.sv; rm12091ues.edu.sv
    The most important aim of distance learning is to make education accessible to most people. In order to be able to perform the capacity of learning and build up knowledge the student must have an active and independent role, making decisions, acting over the contents that they are receiving, and generating new concepts based on them. It is known, however, that most students are not capable of performing such qualities in their learning practice, despite the learning genre. The general objective of this research is to classify the qualities that a distance learner must have in the English language acquisition process. Therefore, what exactly is distance learning? According to the Encyclopedia Britannica distance learning, which will now be referred to as DL also called e-learning or tele-learning, is a form of education, which involves a physical separation between the teacher and the student during instruction and the use of various technologies to facilitate student-teacher and student-student communication. Since the student is the center of distance learning, what does it take for a student to be successful with this modality? It is a must for any student that decides to try distance learning to possess certain abilities that are the foundation of distance education, like autonomy, self-management, self-monitoring and self-motivation which is crucial. A student that decides to take the challenge to learn in this fashion, has to really want it and has to be aware that he’s going to make more efforts than what is usually done in regular learning.
