BANGUELA GUERRA, Pablo Tomás; GONZALEZ PEREZ, Miguel Blas e HERNANDEZ CAPARO, Ileana. From Vision to face2face: a way towards progress in the teaching of general English. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.3, pp. 149-162. ISSN 2077-2874.
Background:
the internationalist medical collaboration and the profuse literature published in English motivate the updating of bibliographies for their teaching in medical sciences universities.
Objective:
to analyze the texts of the Vision and face2face series in a way towards progress where an advance of the later over the former is perceived.
Methods:
a bibliographic review was carried out to develop a reflexive critical analysis of the content; We considered study programs, master's theses, original and review articles published from 2010-to 2018, in Spanish and English, using Google Scholar, in the period from November 2017 to January 2019. The key words used were general English, medical sciences, teaching-learning process and undergraduate students. After identifying the pre-selected studies, the titles and abstracts were read to verify their pertinence with the study.
Development:
several textbooks for the teaching of general English began to be used in the universities of Cuban medical sciences in 1965, in 2007-2008 the Cuban series Vision was introduced, highly controversial and criticized by various authors; the application of Plan D brought with it the implementation of the face2face series, conceived at Cambridge University, where the first two books are being used, in a reproduction photocopied by the "Felix Varela", University publishing house
Conclusions:
the use of the face2face series has represented a significant advance in the teaching of general English because of its interesting themes, support materials and communicative approach aimed at developing listening and speaking skills in social situations.
