TECHNOLOGY IN THE EFL LEARNING

Effective use of ICT in English lessons offers the potential to transform teaching and learning.

An appropriate application of ICT can provide the students with opportunities to use their

skills to assists and progress their learning in English.

The ICT used to develop this syllabus include the use of data show in class to present Power

Point Presentations, movies, video-audio aids and music. In addition the students will use My

Top Notch Lab http://www.myenglishlab.com/courses-top-notch-2nd.html in order to

perform follow up activities on-line, which will help them to reinforce the content studied un

class and self- follow up their progress.

RESEARCH IN THE EFL LEARNING

Research plays an important part in the process of learning because through it students have

the tools to develop different skills. Among these skills we have reading for the gist, skimming,

scanning; analyzing, summarizing and making their own conclusions. Besides, students are

able to give opinions and learn about the world we live in.

Through Topic based research students will find out information related to the topics studied

in this syllabus.

TRANSGENIC FOODS Transgenics foods are foods derived from genetically modified organisms.

transgenics foods are genetically modified by introducing changes in their DNA by

genetic engineering, unlike similar food that has been genetically modified, through

selective breeding (cultivation of plants and animals) or genetic mutations.

http://nutricionysalud.org.es/alimentos-transgenicos

With better and more food nutrients. Best tasting products created. Better adaptation

of plants to more deplorable living conditions.Increased food production with a

substantial saving of resources. Acceleration in the growth of plants and animals.

Best features of the food produced when cooking.

http://www.mipielsana.com/alimentos-transgenicos/

Transgenics food may present significant risks of allergy for people, according to

Brown University. Genetic modification is often not original mixture or added to the

plant or animal proteins, causing new allergic reactions in the human body. In some

cases, the proteins of an organism to which you are allergic can be added to a body

to which you were not allergic originally experienced the same reaction leading to the

first body.

http://www.livestrong.com/es/ventajas-desventajas-alimentos-lista_21934/

The current food situation worldwide has put back on the table to transgenics food as

a possible solution to mitigate the reduction of food reserves to cope with the effects

of climate change and to reduce food prices among other advantages . These are

some of the statements made experts in the field, in short, it seems to be that

transgenics foods would be an effective technological solution.
