Dear students,
I am sending you these instructions with ample time for you to read them and comprehend them
well. Make sure you analyze them carefully.

going to deliver a 10-minute presentation. You will receive one concept each, sent to your emails.
- In the presentation, you are going to analyze how the concept was studied in the course.
- Support your analysis with inferences and facts taken from all the articles you read.
- We advise you to analyze the articles from different viewpoints: for example, your experience as a
learner of the language, your experience as a teacher in development, the learning experiences of
others, supported opinions, your criticisms and corresponding support, your Licenciatura
professors, teaching experiences, the tasks that you developed during the course, etc.
- All in all, the main objective is that your analysis of that concept will be strongly supported.
