Abstract
The objective of this paper is to propose
a Multimedia approach for the students in the Sports Degree at the University
Pinar del Rio, Cuba learning English, based on Internet tutorials. This work is
carried out to solve the scarcities of didactical materials that students have
in this University concerning English teaching as a foreign language. The
author felt motivated to create this resource after applying a diagnosis by
means of a documentary review, a survey and an interview. These instruments
revealed the importance of Information Technology for the language teaching in
present times despite the poor existence of updated teaching materials in the
Cuban Universities. Besides, these methods unveiled the deficiencies on the
knowledge and skills of English Language seen from the perspective of digital
learning resources. This work is developed using 28 students who will become
sport professionals at the Local Sports Faculty. It also included 5 English
teachers in the University, mainly those who have been involved in English
teaching around sports matters. The tutorials on the internet are exhaustively
selected and arranged from the simplest to the most complex items of grammar
and communicative situations. The multimedia is made on Mediator.9 and edited
in video and image professional programs. So far, it has greatly enhanced the
learning experience of the students learning English language and has also been
useful to the teachers as a valuable tool in this online teaching period during
the COVID 19 pandemic. Keywords: Multimedia, Sport professionals,
English learning, tutorials, English skills, Academic purposes.
