La red Internet
es una rica fuente de recursos en lengua inglesa. Según los datos de la
Encuesta General de Medios, existe un 68,39% de páginas en inglés en Internet.
Qunque la mayoría de ellas no están pensadas específicamente para el uso en el
aula de lengua, nada nos impide obtener material allí y aprovecharlo de la
misma manera que utilizamos otros realia
El presente
documento es una propuesta de evaluación de sites para que el alumnado de la
asignatura Inglés en E. Secundaria analice las páginas que encuentra o que el
profesorado le proponga. Se organiza en tres grandes bloques: apariencia,
navegabilidad y contenido.
Con él, el
profesorado y el propio alumnado pueden desarrollar y recopilar evaluaciones de
recursos informáticos con el propósito de poder utilizarlos cuando sea
pertinente desde el punto de vista de nuestras necesidades curriculares y las
características de nuestro alumnado en las clases de EFL
