2. Now you know many words, so read the text about “Face to face Vs Virtual
learning” and answer the following questions
A. Give a concept for each methodology (face to face learning – Virtual
Learning

R/ The face-to-face learning methodology is, by many people, the most

favorite, since it is the most traditional one and the one we are most
familiar with, since we have a direct physical interaction with the
teacher and with our classmates, thus having more discipline and
concentration in class, and can also provide solutions and clear up
 any doubts and concerns that may arise at the time of the classes in a
more direct and precise way, while on the other hand, the e-learning
methodology, as for many is not their preference, for others is the
one that can best be adapted by different factors, such as having a
little more free time to do other activities that are not academic or
educational in nature, but therefore requires much more self-
discipline in order to efficiently fulfill the activities that teachers
have made available to students in the different video conferences,
to make them and send them through the different technological
means that the teachers have previously predisposed for the delivery
of work or activities and in turn also requires much more attention at
the time of video conferences as the student can be distracted much
more easily, this being a great challenge in their virtual learning
period.

B. Write with your own words the advantages and disadvantages for each
methodology
Example:

3. Use full sentences: then, write a complete text, taking into account the
information you have on step 1-2- and include these expressions:
- Learners interact through…
- Some people prefer the way of…
- This learning methodology is for people who…
- Both are good methodologies but…

R/ The truth is complicated to know which methodology is better, on the one hand, some
people prefer the way of face-to-face or in-person interaction because of the direct
physical contact with the teacher, this learning methodology is for people who prefer the
traditional, and on the other hand there are people who prefer the virtual learning
methodology because learners interact through different technological devices and
various virtual platforms. In short, both are good methodologies but it is very difficult to
choose which is better than the other since many factors and situations of personal and
social character come into play such as the location and lack of technologies in certain
regions of the country.

4. Give your personal point of view (take into account your technician-
training)what’s your personal challenge?

R/ Taking into account my training program and the situation of

confinement by the pandemic we live today, the point of view I
have about learning methodologies is that both should intervene
equally depending on the stage of training in which we are, because
now the virtual methodology helps us to be much more in touch
with technologies and thus learn much more from them, but there
will come a time when the classroom methodology will be the most
appropriate because there are activities or processes that require
physical interaction to perform them.

5. Now, link the written paragraphs to get a complete text you can review
connectors to link your paragraphs (annex- connectors)

my training program and the situation of confinement due to the pandemic
