On the other hand, these materials are adapted to the graded learning objectives and learning outcomes at the end of the course. 
Among the disadvantages of designing materials for teaching English is that if the material is not updated, erroneous information may be given; moreover, when designing these materials, one must be very careful with the contents and messages to be transmitted, otherwise, there may be confusion among the students.

Thus, nowadays thanks to technology we can find a great variety of resources and materials that contribute considerably to the aforementioned processes. However, we must highlight the valuable importance of those materials that are designed and elaborated by the teacher and the students themselves, making it an enriching and novel learning and teaching experience, adapted to the needs of the educational context.
The learning and teaching of a foreign language has always been associated with the use of materials -mostly printed texts- since it has been proven that it allows to get closer not only to the language being studied but also to its culture.
Now, learning a foreign language is not the exclusive responsibility of a teacher; it is necessary to create environments that motivate the learner to use it.
The design and development of these resources or teaching aids is a practical and useful strategy in the long term, it is something that students can count on and have at their fingertips at any time, thus allowing their learning to be constant.]]> 2023-06-01 00:58:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kecando/ygl337nt7v9kz0fl/wish/2611121776 https://padlet.com/kecando/ygl337nt7v9kz0fl/wish/2611201224 There are many apps we can use to learn a language, in our case, English.
The first app is 'Duolingo' in this app you can practice three skills since there are listening, writing, reading exercises, and also you can practice pronunciation.
The second app I use is 'tandem' This app is really interesting because you can talk with people around the world in real time, for example, you can learn English by interacting with other people and also you can teach your native language.
Another app is 'WordBox English'. This app helps us learn using sitcomes of famous series. There are exercises to complete sentences by listening and also pronunciation.
Youtube serves like an app to learn English because you can watch videos in English and also tutorials about a topic that you don't understand about English.]]> 2023-06-01 02:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kecando/ygl337nt7v9kz0fl/wish/2611201224 jlcaza1 https://padlet.com/kecando/ygl337nt7v9kz0fl/wish/2612163986 The English teaching resources are intended to develop linguistic competence, facilitate contextualized learning, promote interaction and communication, improve motivation and interest, and support autonomous learning.
