Estupro e Incesto en Costa Rica (1800-1850)

By: Yuliana Loria Villalobos “Tiyita bea lo que me han hecho” Estupro e Incesto en Costa Rica (1800-1850) Eugenia Rodríguez Sáenz La violencia sexual es algo que hasta el día de hoy no se ha podido erradicar aun teniendo leyes que castiguen el hecho. La lectura permite al lector encontrarse con diversas situaciones centradas en Costa Rica, manteniendo al tanto de cómo ha sido el trato del Gobierno y sus autoridades ante tales agresiones sin límites.

Communicative activity: NAE Flap /ɾ/: Nasalized

COMMUNICATIVE ACTIVITY It's not a secret that face-to-face activities are a treasure to learn and to improve the communicative ability of English and this is why teachers ask themselves, what communicative activity can I do in class to reinforce the topic seen previously? But what happens when students are at home? The COVID-19 has taken the world by surprise and now many students are limiting themselves to practicing English because some of them don't have someone to practice it. So, what can teachers do to promote the students' communication and take advantage of technology in the classroom? Zoom is an app that provides us with many tools to improve long-distance communication. If you didn't know, this incredible app has an option that helps to divide your students into small groups, just as you did in face-to-face classes, this tool is called "Breakout Rooms". Only hosts have available to view it, so, you just need to click on it, it will ask...
