La paleografía se define como la ciencia que estudia la escritura antigua.Es por medio de esta herramienta que cualquier historiador se vale para poder entender los documentos del periodo de su objeto de estudio, pero también nos ofrece un breve vistazo sobre cómo ha ido cambiando y desarrollado los lenguajes. Este conocimiento no solo nos permite conocer el ya mencionado desarrollo de un leguajes, si no que de igual manera nos invita a conocer las principales obras los puntos culmines de estos cambios. Teniendo en claro esto se dará un breve recorrido por los principales textos históricos en y manuscritos inglés, alemán y el español que con los cuales se hará patente la evolución de los tres idiomas ya mencionados, sino que se remarcara la importancia que tiene el aprendizaje de un idioma en todas las disciplinas ya sea en humanidades o en ciencias exactas.

Throughout the years several studies on how our brain works have been carried out. This has helped us to know which are the best ways for our brain to learn things. We already know that our brain performs different functions, and that those functions are performed by different parts of our brain. It's important to know which of those parts of our brain should be stimulated whenever we want to learn something, considering the our own learning style.

Generalmente el Italiano es un idioma aprendido como una tercera lengua. Primero la lengua materna, luego el inglés y después… el idioma que más requieras o que más te guste. Algunas personas están interesadas en sus raíces personales (son descendientes de italianos). Otros porque trabajan en empresas italianas y lo necesitan para comunicación con personal de la matriz, o capacitación, o algún otro fin laboral. Otra necesidad se ubica en estudios profesionales o de postgrado. Pero cuando expresamos nuestro interés por aprender Italiano por el propio gusto de aprenderlo, la mayoría de las personas que nos rodean consideran una locura hacerlo. ¿Por qué nos debiera interesar un idioma que es hablado por menos de 61,000 personas? (México tiene 133,000) Solo en Italia se habla, pero no todos, pues algunos hablan solamente su dialecto. Sin embargo, Italia es un país con el que nos sentimos muy identificados por diversas razones: la personalidad similar de la población, la cocina, la moda, la cultura, la música, la historia y hasta las leyes. Esto y otras cosas más, hacen del italiano un idioma sumamente atractivo. Por todo eso y más el idioma italiano es digno de conocerse pero es un privilegio de pocos. Te invitamos a este taller en el cual te hablaremos del italiano y en italiano, al participar en actividades que te acercarán a la convivencia con este idioma.

Cultural clashes are the most interesting and challenging things when going abroad. Stereotypes are usually what give us a general idea about a different country, language or culture. For example, everyone know that an Italian can’t properly speak without using his hands, but what do you actually know about italian gestures? Or just to give you another one: how many italian words are common abroad but not properly used? For example do you know that what outside Italy is called “latte” it is something different from what “latte” is in Italy? I’ve spent a lot of time living and studying abroad and I’ve always changed my mind about what I previously knew about a language or a culture. Because sometimes we just reinterpret what we listen to, based on our own culture. So we try to make something strange a little bit more similar to what we are used to. As an Italian living in Mexico, I wish to teach you something about my country and my language that you probably already know, but you’ll find out even more. It will be a talk about the basic words, expression, gestures and the ways of behaving that you should know if you want to “survive” in Italy. Would you like to find out some very basic things about Italian culture, language and gestures? This is a talk about few “rules” you should know if you’re planning to visit Italy. You’ll find out something that you probably already knew and something that you just thought you knew.

With the continuous changes in the economy, many organizations adjust their resources to align with their business strategies. One of the preferred ways to achieve this is by the use of the 5S Principles. These principles are very effective at identifying and eliminating waste and, at the same time, increasing efficiency. Popular belief is that the Japanese invented the 5S methodology. Actually, the principles within 5S were being utilized decades before by Mr. Henry Ford. It has been reported that prior to 1920 Mr. Ford was using CANDO in his manufacturing processes. The acronym CANDO stands for Cleaning up, Arranging, Neatness, Discipline, and Ongoing improvement. In the 1950’s, representatives from Toyota visited the Ford facilities to be trained in automotive mass production methods. They latter adapted the CANDO methods and apply them in their production facilities. 5S is a methodology that gathers a series of activities, this is a standardized process that, when implemented properly, creates and maintains an organized, safe, clean and efficient workplace. Those conditions are created through the reinforcement of good behavior and social interaction habits. The 5S list is:


• Seiri/Sort: separating the essential from the nonessential items.

• Seiton/Store: organizing the essential materials where everything has its place.

• Seiso/Shine: cleaning the work area.

• Seiketsu/Standardize: engage the workforce to systematically perform steps 1 through 3 daily, to maintain the workplace in perfect conditions as a standard process. o Shitsuke/Sustain: make 5S part of your culture, and incorporate it into the corporate philosophy.

The importance of media resources to acquire a second language has the objective of promoting self-study as another teaching/learning method outside school. The main title “Monas Chinas” refers to an internet meme where anime is generalized as a part of the Chinese culture which is incorrect, because most of the people lack the curiosity to find out where this genre originally comes from and during the talk and presentation of different animes, memes and short films, participants will be encouraged to find more information about those topics that are relevant to each. The talk is also aimed at making students notice that English should not be related to boring classes or boring books and exercise, since acquiring a second language can be as much fun as each person decides it to be .

German is one of the most stereotyped languages around the world. Many people consider it almost impossible to learn. Its pronunciation is thought to be on the verge of rudeness.

Nevertheless, German has become one of the most important languages in the business world. Nowadays, more than 2000 German companies are settled in different states of our country and they offer approximately 140,000 jobs for Mexican people (1) . This is one of the strongest reasons why many people decide to learn German during their studies.

In this session, we intend to leave stereotypes aside and have a closer look at this language and some of its basic vocabulary characteristics. The students will be able to realize that German is as challenging and beautiful as any other language.

Germany is a key player in international economic relations. As the second largest exporter of goods and the fourth biggest world economy, Germany is strongly oriented towards foreign trade. Products “Made in Germany” enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide. Cars, machinery and electronics from Germany are in demand around the globe, and a great many innovative products are developed by around 1,500 highly specialised small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

There are, therefore, a great many good reasons to do business with German companies. For this to be a success, familiarity with the German business culture is utterly crucial. Only when the foreign entrepreneur knows how German companies work, how German executives negotiate, and what is expected of foreign partners, can they also successfully cooperate with a German partner in the long run.

The processes of globalization in today's world have brought about a rapid increase in contact among representatives of different cultures. The wide variety of values, attitudes and mindsets we encounter in a global world, the diversity of approaches to solving management tasks, various leadership styles and different ways of social interaction excite, amaze and enrich everyone who "plays on the international field".

En référence à mon expérience personnelle en tant qu’enseignante, je peux en déduire qu'en dehors de la prononciation, les temps verbaux sont ceux qui coutent le plus aux étudiants, surtout la différence entre l'imparfait et le passé composé.

Le contenu de cet exposé sera :

• Identifier les deux temps en tant que conjugaison qui marquent un évènement passé.
• La composition de chacun d'eux.
• La différence d'usage entre les deux puisque l'un marque le passé d’une action continue et l'autre un passé. déjà fini.
