Hello Dear
bloggers,
Let’ go to
the next week. This time I have had to assume the role of translator. My job as
a translator has been to contextualize five most important concepts in our
weekly activity . Well here we go, this week the topic was ¨The Dark Side of
Textbooks¨ . Most of us throughout our lives to go through the different
educational levels (primary, secondary school , university ) and our
education was based on textbooks leaving
no room for other resources , so maybe that's a prejudice that today many of us
drag , but it's never too late to evolve so this week we have critical fact
about textbooks and the use of them, you could see in our presentation the fact
that we have chosen.
After this
brief introduction about my views and activity of this week, now I go with my
work as a translator. Below you will see the five concepts that I have selected
. Clearly they are not the only terms I can take in relation to the dark side
of the books , but I have tried to select those that may lead to a better
understanding of this activity and especially those who have considered
important and interesting.
-Editorials this
concept involves that the book publishing industry is on the production and
distribution of all kinds of books. The edition of the book does not include
the activity of making outstanding information publicly available, for instance
the distribution. In some cases, authors may be their own publishers.
-A Business is a system, method or way to
get money in exchange for goods or services. But this is not the only meaning
we can draw on this concept but also a business is an entity created or
organized in order to get money for production activities, trading or services
that benefit others.
- A
textbook is a manual of instruction in any subject of study. Textbooks emerged
as learning instruments .A textbook is a standardized manual that is used in
formal study as secondary and university. Institution of higher education
requires students to find and pay for their own textbooks, which are chosen by
the teachers. Most students pay high prices for their books so many of them
manage to find used books.
-The
government is the authority that directs, controls and manages the state
institutions, which is the general political direction or exercise of state
power. In broad terms, the government is one structure that performs the
various state activities, commonly referred branches of government (state
functions).
- The
Ministry of Education is a government agency that is responsible for managing
the administrative tasks related to education and usually also of culture. Also
represents a very important department for the country, given that handles all
matters related to training and scholarships and grants to citizens, so they
can achieve academic level they want.
Here ends
my work as a translator in this week. I would note that it has been an
especially fun week as we have enjoyed making our advertisements as well as The
Dark Side of Textbook have been an issue that has aroused our curiosity.
I hope you
enjoyed our presentation on Monday. I hope we have managed to transmit that
there is not a unique way to learn, you only need enthusiasm, excitement to
discover new methods.
