Resumen

Since the invention of computers, they have had a great impact on every human action because of their wide number of applications. At present, computers are used in the educational process as a teaching aid at different levels of the Cuban educational system, especially in higher education. Teachers consult a wide range of Web pages which are useful in their daily work; also students look for information in Web pages for their research papers and other activities. Building Web pages and Web sites with hyperlinks to Internet for higher education students in Cuba offers a lot of advantages: they may support the existing bibliography for different subjects, the information is given in an organized way, they provide orientation, links with other Web pages through Internet and they cut down the research time. In our University there are some courses such as ours in which the insufficient bibliography affects the teaching and leaning process, books are not enough; or they are not accessible to everyone and/or in some cases not all the information required is there or it is not well organized, or it is not updated. In this Major Paper we propose a Web site to improve the teaching and leaning process of the discipline Panorama of the English-Speaking Countries.The research paper consists of three chapters. Chapter 1 deals with the theoretical bases of the development of the teaching and learning process with the aim of ICT in the training of students of English Language with a Second Foreign Language (French). Chapter 2 consists of the characterization of the sample, main methods and instruments used, and the analysis of the results obtained from the diagnosis. Chapter 3 is the proposal of a Web site to improve the teaching and learning process of the discipline Panorama of English– Speaking Countries, and also its evaluation according to the criteria of students and teachers. Finally, conclusions, recommendations, bibliography and appendixes are included.
