Resumen
Recently, ICTs and more specifically Computer Assisted Learning (CAL)
materials are given a paramount importance as tools to support the teaching and
learning process in higher education. The implementation of this technology is
supported by the more progressive pedagogical approaches which promote the
ideology of active learning and students’ self-assessment as better ways to
construct new knowledge. Considering the affordances of CAL materials a website was built. The website is endeavored to provide supporting materials and to enhance students interpreting skills so as to support the teaching and learning process of Interpreting in the course English Language with a Second Foreign Language (French) at the UCLV. This major paper is structured into three chapters. Chapter 1 deals with the theoretical bases for the use of ICTs, specifically CAL materials to improve the teaching and learning process of Interpreting in the training of students of English Language with a Second Foreign Language (French). Chapter 2 implies the characterization of the sample, main methods and instruments used, as well as the analysis of the results obtained from the diagnosis. Chapter 3 consists on the proposal of an interactive Website to improve the teaching and learning process of Interpreting in the course English Language with a Second Foreign Language (French), and its validation by specialists.
