El uso de foros virtuales para la enseñanza y práctica de inferencias: una aproximación al aprendizaje colaborativo por medio de las TICs

Abstract

Inferences (real, false, and not implied) are fundamental English reading strategies. Still, students in the course LM-1032 (English Reading Strategies 2) have frequent problems to internalize and apply these three kinds of inferences appropriately. Virtual forums may become a possible solution to this issue because, when used, they favored inference learning cooperatively and improved students’ results.
