Human beings have always made use of intermediaries in order to communicate from one language to another. Through the years, interpretation has become into a revolutionary activity practiced by elders of the profession such as Kaminker and Herbert amongst others. Generally interpreters, specially those who are in training courses deal with various difficulties related to the speaker, the listener, the language and the message during the process of interpretation. Thus, the objective of this research is to learn about the main problems of language and oral communication with which students of interpretation deal the most. The methodology consisted of a bibliographical research on consecutive and simultaneous interpretation. Field work consisted in the design of a questionnaire to be answered by a sample of students in advanced courses of interpretation. The information was compiled and analysed using the data collecting technique...

The majority of these look similar, however, just few of them define a game as a useful "tool" or "resource" for teaching. Dictionaries, for instance, give the following concepts: Any specific contest, engagement, amusement, computer simulation, or sport involving physical or mental competition under specific rules, as football, chess, or war games. [Webster's New World Dictionary, 1991: 554.] A universal form of recreation generally including any activity engaged in for diversion or amusement and often establishing a situation that involves a contest or rivalry. [Safra, Yannias & Goulka, 1998: 105.] A form of play or sport, especially a competitive one with rules. [Pocket Oxford, 1992: 359.] An activity or sport involving skill, knowledge, or chance, in which you follow fixed rules and try to win against an opponent or to solve a puzzle. [Collins Cobuild, 1987: 596.] Moreover, some writers have defined a game as: A structure-that-has rules, goals and agreement of players on the surface, and wonderful hidden processes underneath. [Turtledove, 1996: 3.] An activity with rules, a goal and an element of fun. [Hadfield, 1990: 5.] The essence of many games lies in outstripping, in friendly fashion, someone else's performance, or (and adult learners often prefer this) in bettering one's own, as in the world of sport. [Lee, 1979: 1.] An agreeable way of getting a class to use its initiative in English and as it is gently competitive, it increases motivation. It is also a contrast to periods of intensive study.

Algunos expertos mencionan que la tutoria influye en los aspectos del ambiente escolar que condicionan la actividad del estudiante y sus realizaciones de exito o fracaso (Lazaro y Asensi, T,.: 1996). El proposito de esta investigacion es proveer tanto a alumnos como maestros con estrategias que podrian superar algunas debilidades sobre las sesiones tutoriales y fortalecer otras. El objetivo del presente trabajo es conocer el grado de desempeno y satisfaccion del tutor universitario. Para que la actividad del tutor sea significativa, esta debe tener una adecuada planeacion, y poner en practica las tres fases del proceso de tutoria: inicio, desarrollo y cierre (ANUIES, 2002). La metodologia consistio en una investigacion bibliografica sobre el proceso de tutoria como herramienta para el desarrollo integral del alumno, asi com...
