The term “Aprendizaje de lenguas e-lectivo”

derives from the following concepts:E- indica que el texto meta está en

formato electrónico.Lect-viene del latín, leer.Electivo-apunta a las opciones que tiene

el aprendiente dentro del sistema.Use of CDs, dictionaries and hyperlinks to

work on reading comprehension activities.

Virtual interactionAfter a face-to-face lesson, during an e-

learning course or through a synchronic or asynchronic approach.

Role of the Teacher: ActiveThe Teacher has to help and lead the

Students through the whole process.

A virtual group of debate which can be or not

controlled by a tutor. The Student decides what to read, with

whom interacts, participates and discusses about various topics.

Helps the interaction between Teacher-Students, Studentes-Students.

Instant messaging. More opportunities to participate, better

quality as regards productions because it gives you more time to reflect upon the way you communicate your ideas.

But it is more time-consuming online. To read and write takes more time than to listen and speak.

Use of emoticons, font and abbreviations. New virtual language code.

Although all the ideas suggested on this chapter could be applied for the teaching ad learning of English, the first thing that came to my mind was to use email while dealing with process writing.

How can we make process writing more appealing, useful and memorable?

Email can help! Why? Because I feel that it is going to

be easier for both Teacher and Students to work on the different drafts, to solve doubts and to share their productions.
