Actividad de aprendizaje 6 Evidencia 5: Reading workshop: International transport Durante la vida académica, es muy común enfrentarse a todo tipo de textos en los que usualmente se presenta información de carácter técnico relacionada con el área de estudio en la que nos desempeñamos. Gran parte de este compilado de información se encuentra escrito en lengua inglesa por ser esta una de las más utilizadas en las comunidades científicas y académicas a nivel internacional. Por lo anterior, es importante que desarrolle habilidades de comprensión de lectura que le permitan relacionarse con textos académicos y técnicos escritos en la lengua extranjera con facilidad. Tenga en cuenta que la lectura de estos textos no se limita al solo reconocimiento de palabras, sino que debe ejercitar habilidades más complejas que le permitan, por ejemplo, extraer ideas principales y secundarias, hacer inferencias, encontrar argumentos y opiniones, así como identificar vocabulario e información específica. Con el propósito de ayudarle a desarrollar estas habilidades, se ha propuesto la presente evidencia de aprendizaje la cual consiste en realizar la lectura de un texto sobre métodos de transporte internacional y desarrollar los ejercicios de comprensión de información que se proponen en el taller de lectura denominado Reading workshop: international transport. Para realizar esta evidencia, debe: • Leer el texto Methods of international transport que se encuentra disponible en el material complementario. • Una vez realizada la lectura, desarrolle el taller Reading workshop: international transport. • Complete los ejercicios propuestos en el taller y guarde el documento correspondiente en formato .pdf o .doc. • Envíe el taller totalmente diligenciado a su instructor por medio de la plataforma de aprendizaje, en la evidencia relacionada.

Nota: para el desarrollo de esta evidencia se deben tener en cuenta el material de formación “Means of transportation ” y los materiales complementarios pertenecientes a esta actividad de aprendizaje.
