ENGLISH I (A1.1) Virtual Course

¡Bienvenidos a Inglés I Virtualizado! II PAC 2027
Estimados estudiantes:

Es un placer darle la bienvenida al espacio pedagógico de la asignatura Inglés I para el II PAC 2027. A continuación, les comparto algunas fechas e instrucciones importantes para el desarrollo exitoso de la clase.

Fechas clave

Inicio de clases: 10 de mayo de 2027. La Lección 1 dura dos semanas (del 10 de mayo al 20 de mayo), porque en la primera semana hay movimientos de matrícula (adiciones y cancelaciones).
Finalización: 9 de agosto de 2027 (estudiantes), 16 de agosto (docentes).
Ingreso de notas al Sistema de Registro de la UNAH: semana administrativa de cierre del período, del 10 de agosto al 16 de agosto: ingreso de calificaciones, revisión de calificaciones por los estudiantes y enmiendas.

Evaluación continua
Su calificación final no depende de exámenes parciales, sino de su progreso constante. A lo largo del periodo evaluaremos su desempeño mediante foros, actividades H5P, asignaciones y quizzes, todos desarrollados en el Campus Virtual de la UNAH. De esta manera, acumulará su nota gradualmente hasta alcanzar el 100 %, asegurando un aprendizaje significativo.

Cómo aprenderás en este curso
Cada lección tiene una URA (Unidad de Recursos de Aprendizaje) con la clase completa, de principio a fin: lo que aprenderás, la explicación, la práctica de sonidos, palabras y gramática, la cultura de EE. UU. y del mundo anglófono, y el uso de las lenguas que ya conoces. Primero te sumerges en la lengua y la cultura meta; después aplicas lo aprendido en el país meta o en Honduras, a tu elección. Practicarás con ejercicios H5P y con el asistente SofIA, que te acompaña sin resolver tus actividades calificadas. Consultarás redes sociales reales (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest y WhatsApp para practicar) y plataformas como Padlet, para aprender con material auténtico; publicar es opcional y nunca con datos personales. Todas las evidencias se entregan en el Campus Virtual.

Entrega de actividades
-Todas las actividades estarán disponibles desde el 10 de mayo y deben entregarse a más tardar cada jueves a las 11:59 p. m.
-Puede adelantar tareas y subirlas al Campus en cualquier momento a partir del 10 de mayo.
-No se aceptan tareas enviadas por WhatsApp ni por correo electrónico. Cada tarea debe enviarse en el Campus Virtual antes de que venza su fecha límite.

Quizzes y ejercicios
Los quizzes y ejercicios identificados con fondo azul en el calendario deben completarse los días lunes durante el horario de clase. Se habilitarán desde las 5:00 a. m. hasta las 11:59 p. m. de cada lunes.
Calificaciones y retroalimentación: las calificaciones de los quizzes y ejercicios se generan de forma automática al finalizar su realización.

Responsabilidad del estudiante
Para evitar inconvenientes derivados de fallas técnicas en el Campus Virtual o de interrupciones en el suministro eléctrico, se recomienda realizar los quizzes y ejercicios durante la hora de clase o lo más temprano posible, evitando dejarlos cerca de la hora de cierre.
Si deja los quizzes y ejercicios para última hora y surge algún inconveniente, será su responsabilidad. Los docentes no están obligados a brindar asistencia fuera de su jornada laboral ni se harán responsables por problemas derivados de entregas tardías.

Evaluación 100 % virtual
Todas las evaluaciones del curso se realizan en el Campus Virtual de la UNAH; ya no se aplican exámenes presenciales. Las unidades I, II y III cierran con una tarea integradora en video (actividades 19, 34 y 45), que tiene mayor valor porque requiere más trabajo y esfuerzo.
Nota importante: todas las actividades pueden realizarse desde cualquier lugar con conexión a internet; no es necesario presentarse a laboratorios ni a instalaciones universitarias.
Reposición
La reposición es un derecho estudiantil. Antes de solicitarla, lea los requisitos en el espacio «Reposición» del Campus Virtual. Debe descargar la solicitud, completar la información requerida y subirla en ese mismo espacio, con la debida justificación y con copia del recibo de pago bancario, del 21 de julio al 27 de julio. Las excusas deben enviarse debidamente refrendadas por la VOAE.

Calendario académico
A continuación encontrarán el calendario académico del II PAC 2027, con todas las fechas importantes, actividades y evaluaciones del curso. Les recomiendo revisarlo detenidamente y agendar sus actividades y evaluaciones para aprovechar al máximo esta experiencia de aprendizaje.

Saludos cordiales,

ENGLISH I A1.1 Virtual Course

Welcome to Virtual English I! · II PAC 2027
Dear students:
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the pedagogical space of the English I course for the II Academic Term 2027. Below, I share some important dates and instructions for the successful development of the class.

Key dates
Start of classes: May 10th, 2027. Lesson 1 lasts two weeks (May 10th–May 20th) because enrollment changes (additions and cancellations) take place in the first week.
End of term: August 9th, 2027 (students), August 16th (Professors).
Grade submission to the UNAH Registration System: administrative closing week, August 10th–August 16th: grade entry, grade review by students and amendments.

Continuous assessment
Your final grade does not depend on partial exams, but on your steady progress. Throughout the term, your performance will be assessed through forums, H5P activities, assignments, and quizzes, all completed on the UNAH Virtual Campus. This way, you will accumulate your grade gradually until reaching 100%, ensuring meaningful learning.

How you will learn in this course
Each lesson has a URA (Learning Resource Unit) with the complete class, from beginning to end: what you will learn, the explanation, practice of sounds, words and grammar, the culture of the U.S. and the English-speaking world, and the use of the languages you already know. First, you immerse yourself in the target language and culture; then you apply what you learned in the target country or in Honduras, as you choose. You will practice with H5P exercises and with the SofIA assistant, which supports you without solving your graded activities. You will explore real social media (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and WhatsApp for practice) and platforms such as Padlet to learn with authentic material; posting is optional and never with personal data. All evidence is submitted on the Virtual Campus. Video assignments are uploaded to YouTube as unlisted videos, and the link is submitted on the Virtual Campus.

Submitting activities
-All activities will be available starting May 10th and must be submitted no later than each Thursday at 11:59 p.m.
-You may complete assignments ahead of time and upload them to the Campus at any point starting May 10th.
-Assignments sent via WhatsApp or email will not be accepted. Each assignment must be submitted on the Virtual Campus before its deadline.

Quizzes and exercises
Quizzes and exercises marked with a blue background on the calendar must be completed on Mondays during class time. They will be available from 5:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. each Monday.
Grades and feedback: quiz and exercise grades are generated automatically upon completion.

Student responsibility
To avoid problems caused by technical failures on the Virtual Campus or power outages, it is recommended that you complete quizzes and exercises during class time or as early as possible, avoiding leaving them until close to the closing time.
If you leave quizzes and exercises until the last minute and an issue arises, it will be your responsibility. Instructors are not obligated to provide assistance outside their working hours, nor will they be held responsible for problems arising from late submissions.

Fully virtual assessment
All course assessments take place on the UNAH Virtual Campus; in-person exams are no longer administered. Units I, II and III close with an integrative video assignment (Activities 19, 34 and 45), which carries more weight because it requires more work and effort.
Important note: all activities can be completed from anywhere with an internet connection; you do not need to go to laboratories or university facilities.

Make-up exam (Reposición)
A make-up exam is a student right. Before requesting one, read the requirements in the «Make-up» space on the Virtual Campus. You must download the request form, complete the required information, and upload it to that same space, with due justification and a copy of the bank payment receipt, between July 21 and July 27. Excuses must be duly endorsed by the VOAE (Vice-Rectory for Student Affairs).

Academic calendar
Below you will find the academic calendar for the II PAC 2027 term, with all the important dates, activities, and assessments for the course. I recommend reviewing it carefully and scheduling your activities and assessments to make the most of this learning experience.
