Educational Virtual Environment for Learning English

Abstract

The use of traditional strategies within physical educational spaces poses an outdated way for the educational development of students. This places the teacher as the only source of information within the classroom. This currently breaks with the nickname that we have received today, 'the information society'. The importance of English as a linguistic competence within professional and academic environments is too high given that this is one of the competences that helps develop the others. This work proposes a virtual learning environment for learning English that helps the user develop the linguistic competence of English within professional and academic environments by applying topics from cognitive psychology.
