3. “I have taken great care not to
laugh at human actions, not to
weep at them, nor to hate them,
but to understand them.”
Baruch Spinoza, Tractatus politicus, 1677
4. “Se acuerdan que vimos que cada humano tiene dos
escenas: la que más teme y la que más desea. Con
la que más desean ustedes comenzaron la carrera.
. . . sobre la escena más temida y más deseada
como operador (docente). ¿Qué es lo que más
temen como operador (docente) de un grupo?, que
el grupo los desconozca, que se quede en silencio,
que el grupo se tiña de agresividad, que se
descompense, que me arrastren en su patología?.
A cada uno le va a pasar cosas distintas, esto no es
malo. Lo malo radica en no conocer qué temo o qué
deseo.”
5. Things we have observed
“Apathy”
“Special” humor (don´t fall!) (si/no; “Carteras”)
Open challenge to authority
⇒ Contextualize/personalize
⇒ “mild” challenge, invite, play along,
⇒ Clear rules, “strong” limits (no getting angry),
⇒ “break into their territory”
6.
Understanding
“ . . . If children (adults, adolescents?) do not
understand the spoken (written?) language,
they cannot learn it. “
Cameron, Lynne, Teaching Languages to Young Learners, 2001, Cambridge: CUP,
p.36
7. Diversity
“Why there can be no best method
for teaching a second language”
“Teachers can provide ‘general guidelines, restrictions, [and]
recommendations’, and each individual brain has to figure out the
best way to adapt to the input”
“If the learner cannot find an alternative, learning is likely to be
abandoned”

• Student/student: text/ / no texts
Shame/self-consciousness /mistakes(explicit,when
madeto speak out in public, not only FL)
• fear o being madefun of

9. The Components
5 major components are involved in a direct broadcasting satellite (DBS)
system: the programming source, the broadcast center, the satellite, the satellite
dish and the receiver.
Programming sources are simply the channels that provide programming for
broadcast. Programs are not created by the provider; it pays other companies
(HBO, for example, or ESPN) for the right to broadcast their content via satellite.
The broadcast center is known as the central hub of the system. At the
broadcast center, the TV provider receives signals from various programming
sources and a broadcast signal is sent to satellites in orbit.
The signal is received by the satellites and they re-broadcast them to planet
Earth.
The dish in a house receives the signal from the satellite and sends it to the
receiver.
Finally, the signal is processed by the receiver and the picture is presented in
a standard TV.
10. 1. Complete the diagram using the names
of the components.

11. The next two activities are intended for them to work on the new
vocabulary items. I expect them to find equivalent terms and also to
differentiate concepts from examples.
2. Choose the correct option for each icon.
CHANNEL – PROVIDER – PROGRAMMING SOURCE
SATELLITE – RECEIVER – DISH
PROGRAMMING SOURCE – BROADCAST CENTRE - PROVIDER
Remember you need a focus on VERBS (as lexis) !!
3. KNOW - BROADCAST – INSTALL – SEND - TRANSMIT
Make sure to check non-transparent verbs and other vocabulary in the
text (not here)
4. Create a diagram which represents the Cable TV System in
the text)
5. Write a description of the diagram
