Learning from others

We will learn about the structure of university webpages and the type of information
you can find there. We will also learn how to get information about undergraduate
programmes offered around the world related to your interests and compare them
with UNPAZ undergraduate programmes.
University webpages
If you compare university webpages, you will find some similarities and differences,
but all of them will include undergraduate and postgraduate programs, research
programs, an ‘About us’ tab with information about the university and its staff, a
tab with information for current students and newcomers, News and some
universities will also include an ‘international students’ section or tab. Learning
about university webpages as a genre, will help you find the information you want
easily and it will also give you ideas about what is missing but important to be
3
included in your own university webpage.

elementos que rodean al texto, es decir el paratexto, como por ejemplo las
solapas, el índice, el título, los subtítulos, la bibliografía, las notas al pie, las
imágenes, los recuadros, los elementos tipográficos, el formato, etc. Todo esto
nos permitirá anticipar el tema central del texto que leeremos, podremos tener una
idea de cómo estará organizada la información dependiendo del género
discursivo, y también podremos hacer una lectura contextualizada del contenido
del texto.

B.S. in Media & Entertainment
The Media and Entertainment degree invites students to

explore the critical ways in which communication and
converged media connect with and affect our lives, society,
and culture. The program focuses on the forms and effects
of media, including radio, film, television, print, and
electronic media, and requires that students demonstrate
basic digital media production skills. Our students are
critically engaged with creative analysis, production, and
research into traditional and emerging forms of media. The
curriculum emphasizes media history, media institutions,
theory and research, production, ethics, policy, management,
and technology and their effects on contemporary life.
The program offers both theoretical and applied approaches to the study and
production of media. “Entertainment” is defined as “any media or communication
function that is used for entertainment purposes” when considering areas of
study. Thus, the field of media and entertainment is very broad and includes
everything from film, television, and radio pre-production, production, and post-
production; to corporate, government, and non-profit communications and digital
media production; to jobs in theater, music, museums, theme parks, sports, travel
and tourism, and gaming. The program also features moMENTum productions, a
collective of faculty & students who volunteer to help our campus and community
partners with media production projects.

GETTING THE MAIN IDEA

PALABRAS TRANSPARENTES, PRÉSTAMOS LINGÜÍSTICOS, PALABRAS
CONOCIDAS Y PALABRAS REPETIDAS
Ya tuvimos un primer acercamiento al texto a partir del análisis del paratexto.
Ahora intentaremos obtener una idea general no solo de la organización del texto,
sino también del contenido que se presentará en cada sección. Para esto
seguiremos prestando mucha atención a las imágenes presentes (si las hay) y
buscaremos relacionarlas con los temas centrales de cada párrafo. Para obtener
la idea central de un párrafo, nos centraremos en los subtítulos y en las siguientes
palabras:
● palabras transparentes o cognados: son aquellas palabras que se
parecen en inglés y en español como por ejemplo university, family
● préstamos lingüísticos: son palabras que provienen del inglés pero ya
son parte de un uso común al hablar en español, por ejemplo delivery,
internet, web, etc...
● palabras conocidas: aquellas que no se parecen al español, pero cuyo
significado ya conozco (esto variará según los conocimientos de cada
persona)
● palabras repetidas: aquellas palabras que se repiten y que transmiten
contenido (sustantivos, adjetivos, adverbios y verbos) nos ayudan a
identificar el tema o subtema en el texto)
Es muy importante NO intentar entender absolutamente todo, ni buscar todas las
palabras en el diccionario. También recordá prestar atención a la primera oración
de cada párrafo que generalmente presenta el tema central de ese párrafo.
a) Read the first paragraph and underline the types of words explained in the
previous box. These words will give you an idea of the content included there.
Now, explain what the first paragraph is about (you can use Spanish):
…………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………

READING FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION

Cuando tenemos una idea general, podemos profundizar lo que entendimos
volviendo sobre el texto pero ahora para enfocarnos en información específica. Por
ejemplo, podríamos buscar la relación entre cifras o nombres (de personas o
lugares) y el tema principal, el significado de acrónimos o la relación entre palabras
resaltadas de alguna manera (negrita, cursiva, subrayado) y el tema central, etc.
a) Read the first paragraph again and answer these questions:

What is the focus of this
program? .......................................................................................................................

c) Read the rest of the article and write True or False:
● Graduates can work in government or non-profit organizations too. __
● Students can ask for information by sending a whatsapp message. __
● Students are not required to pass a grammar test to be admitted into this
program. __
● 78% refers to the minimum score of the Communication Entrance Exam that
students need to be admitted. __
FOCUS ON LANGUAGE
NOUN PHRASES
A NOUN PHRASE is a group of words in a sentence that together behave as a noun. For
example: “School of Information and Media”. Notice that titles and subtitles in this text are
noun phrases.
Las frases nominales tienen siempre como núcleo un sustantivo y pueden tener
premodificadores y postmodificadores. Veamos unos ejemplos:
1) Media and Entertainment program: Programa de Entretenimiento y Medios

2) Program description: Descripción del Programa
3) Basic program of study: Programa básico de estudio
Importante: al analizar las frases nominales, solemos encontrar el sustantivo núcleo al

final, pero ojo que las preposiciones y frases con that (relative clauses) nos indican un corte
de ese segmento).
● Es por eso que en las frases 1 y 2 el sustantivo núcleo es la última palabra. Los
otros sustantivos seràn también importantes pero no los principales. Al traducir,
nombro primero el sustantivo núcleo.
● La frase 3 tiene dos segmentos:
segmento 1 preposición segmento 2
basic program of study
adjetivo sustantivo núcleo sustantivo
En inglés los adjetivos se escriben ANTES la este sustantivo se leerá

que los sustantivos. En este caso es un preposición luego del primer segmento y
premodificador. ‘DE’ me no como sustantivo núcleo
marca el de la frase.
corte.

QUICK CHECK: Underline the main noun and translate each phrase:
Communication Sources and Investigations:
Visual Communication:
Writing for Public Communication:
Communication Law, Ethics and Diversity:
Introduction to Mass Communication:
Fundamentals of Media & Entertainment:
Uses and Effects of Mass Media:
Digital Media Production:

DEFINITIONS
A formal definition consists of three parts:

1. The term (word or phrase) to be defined
2. The class of object or concept to which the term belongs
3. The differentiating characteristics that distinguish it from all others of its
class
Analicemos una de las definiciones que aparecen en el texto:
“Entertainment” is defined as “any media or communication function that is used for

entertainment purposes” when considering areas of study.
El término: es el concepto que se quiere definir, en este caso ‘entertainment’.

La clase: responde directamente a la pregunta ¿Qué es? En este caso es ‘cualquier medio
o función de comunicación’. Generalmente se encuentra ANTES del verbo nexo (en este
caso IS defined’, pero no es obligatorio que el verbo esté incluido).
Las características: es cualquier otra información que permita distinguir ese concepto de
otros de la misma clase. Por lo general lo encontramos después de palabras como ‘that’,
participios o -ing verbs.
QUICK CHECK: Find another definition in the text, identify its parts and explain it with your
own words.

WORKING WITH NEW VOCABULARY
Language Learning strategies: Creating mental linkages (grouping)

Para estudiar nuevo vocabulario y lograr recordarlo y usarlo, se pueden emplear
diferentes estrategias de organización y repaso. Una de las formas de organizar
12
todas estas nuevas palabras es mediante la clasificación o reclasificación de
materiales en unidades o categorías que resulten significativas para cada persona.
La agrupación puede hacerse según el tipo de palabra (sustantivos, verbos, etc),
tema (el clima, la escuela, etc.), la función (palabras/frase para saludar,
despedirse, describirse físicamente, etc.), sinónimos o similitud (warm, hot,
tropical, etc), antónimos (friendly/unfriendly, etc.), etc… Lo importante es que el
nombre del grupo o categoría sea significativo para cada unx.
a) Go back to the text and choose at least 20 new words related to university webpage
sections or extracted from the text you have just read.
b) Choose two or three different ways of grouping the new words, label the categories
and study them.

Program Requirements
Curriculum requirements for the CGDD program may change from year to year.
Students' requirements are determined based on the academic year in which they
14
began the program declared as a CGDD major.
CLICK TO SEE LATEST PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Degree requirements generally do not change once a student is declared a CGDD

major until graduation, except if the student does not attend KSU for 3
consecutive semesters (including summer) or if the student requests a change of
catalog year to a newer set of requirements. Students may update to any newer
set of academic requirements if they wish.
● The Academic Catalog contains the academic requirements and policies to

obtain a degree of a Bachelor of Science in Computer Game Design and
Development, and all other advising material (curriculum sheets,
DegreeWorks) are based on this.
● Curriculum sheets can be found on the CCSE Academic Advising Office
website. Curriculum sheets are helpful guides to be used along with
meeting an academic advisor and DegreeWorks, and are subject to change.
Always double check with an academic advisor.
● Prerequisites used in registration for courses follow the latest approved
prerequisites. Therefore, what may be listed as the prerequisite on a 2015
academic year curriculum sheet may not be the prerequisite required in
registering for the Fall 2018 semester. Prerequisites should be updated in
the catalog upon approval. Again, always check with an academic advisor.

Common words and

phrases [section 1]
If you’re a fan of gaming and like to keep up
with industry news, you’re probably fairly
familiar with some of the terminology you’ll find
here. But if you’re new to game development
or need a refresher, this list of words and terms
should come in handy when you’re participating in online discussions, diving into learning
resources, and using Unity. Unity is the world’s best real-time development platform – it’s
also a robust ecosystem designed to enable your success.

standing.
Bullet hell: Games that rely on shooting weapons and dodging return fire as their primary
mechanics, often on an exaggerated and grandiose level.
Casual: Games that offer quick entry into gameplay through minimal mechanics.
Cooperative: A game or style of gameplay that rewards collaboration rather than pitting
players against each other.
Couch co-op: A cooperative multiplayer game that can only be played by having two or
more players in the same physical location.
Downloadable content (DLC): Additions or expansions to a game that can be
downloaded and added through a typically simple in-app installation process.

Free-to-play (F2P): A game that is free to download and play, though the studio/publisher
may monetize it through microtransactions (such as IAPs), rewarded videos, ads, or other
means.
Horror: A game whose design and mechanics are built around inducing fear and dread in
players.
Hyper-casual: A game that usually offers a single, easy-to-understand mechanic that
leads to instant gameplay gratification.

RETHINKING LANGUAGE
Remember that a formal definition consists of three parts:
The term (word or phrase) to be defined
The class of object or concept to which the term belongs
The differentiating characteristics that distinguish it from all others of its class
● Let’s focus on the term, (the verb) and the class: Analyze these definitions taken from
the text:
Unity is the world’s best real-time development platform – it’s also a robust ecosystem
21
designed to enable your success.
Esports: Professional competitive gaming events.
En estos ejemplos vemos el uso del verbo BE (is/are) luego del concepto a definir:
Concepto+verbo be + category. También podemos encontrar “:” en lugar de un verbo de
unión.
● Let’s focus now on the characteristics of an object and the verbs:
Casual games: Games that offer quick entry into gameplay through minimal mechanics.
Bullet hell games: Games that rely on shooting weapons and dodging return fire as their
primary mechanics.
El tiempo verbal utilizado para describir un concepto es el PRESENTE SIMPLE. En este

caso, ambas definiciones hacen referencia a conceptos en PLURAL. Es por esto que los
verbos luego de ‘that’ no llevan s/es al final. Si quisiera separar esa información en dos
oraciones independientes, usaría THEY como sujeto: Casual games are games. They offer
quick entry…
Agent is an in-game character or object that uses AI to interact with other objects
A Hyper-casual game is a game that usually offers a single, easy-to-understand mechanic
En este caso, ambos verbos hacen referencia a UN objeto o concepto SINGULAR. Al

conjugar los verbos en presente simple, con un sujeto en singular antes de ‘that’, vemos que
cada verbo lleva ‘s’ al final.
Para saber cómo conjugar un verbo, siempre deberemos identificar cuál es el sujeto al que
hace referencia dicho verbo.
● Ejemplo en una oraciòn independiente (aquellas oraciones que tienen sentido solas,
sin depender de otras):
Video games help students to develop their attention skills. (sujeto plural)
An agent interacts with other objects. (Sujeto singular)
● Ejemplo en una subordinate clause (un segmento que depende de otro para tener
sentido). Las subordinate clauses se usan para agregar información esencial como
características de un concepto a definir. Por lo general comienzan con ‘that’, ‘where’,
‘who’, ‘which’, etc… y hacen referencia al objeto/concepto anteriormente
mencionado:
Bullet hell: Games that rely on shooting weapons… (sujeto plural)

Cooperative: A game or style of gameplay that rewards collaboration (sujeto singular)
QuiCK CHECK
a) Volvé al texto y resalté al menos 5 verbos. Analizà la oración e identificà el sujeto en
cada caso. ¿Es una oración dependiente o independiente? ¿Cómo te das cuenta?
Alguna palabra en especial te ayudó a identificarla?
b) Recordemos la regla gramatical del tiempo Presente simple:
● En qué otras situaciones se usaba este tiempo verbal?
● ¿Cómo conjugamos los verbos en oraciones afirmativas?
22
● ¿Cómo armamos oraciones negativas?
● ¿Qué necesitamos agregar cuando armamos preguntas? ¿Cuál es su estructura?
SHARING WITH OTHERS

You are going to talk about your professional interests and define key concepts or
objects related to it. Follow these steps to organize your ideas:
Step 1: individual work
a) Think about your program of studies and 3 or 4 key concepts related to it.
b) Think about the class of object or concept to which the term belongs
c) Think about its main characteristics and which verbs or noun phrases you will
need to describe it.
Step 2: Work in pairs and share this information:
Student A and B: greetings and introductions (Lesson 1).
Student A:
-talk about your studies
-Name some key concepts related to your career
Student b:
- ask for explanation or definitions of at least 2 concepts mentioned by your
classmate.
