El alumno contesta su examen en un lapso de tiempo establecido, aquí se va seleccionando o completando campos/formularios y los envía cuando se asegura de que sus respuestas son las correctas; una vez enviadas no puede retroceder. Después hay dos posibilidades: que el alumno obtenga su resultado de forma inmediata o que el docente le 10 informe su resultado en un día posterior (Dorrego, 2006). Por tal motivo, conocer la percepción que tienen los alumnos al ser evaluados, y los docentes al evaluar con un instrumento en formato electrónico proporcionara información relevante que puede contribuir al uso pertinente de este instrumento de evaluación. Es una tendencia que tanto la instrucción en línea así como la evaluación en el mismo formato continúe en auge en su uso dado el avance del desarrollo tecnológico en el mundo, por consiguiente la educación no queda exenta de esta tendencia. En este año 2015 el sitio electrónico de la universidad: buap.mx, reportó una oferta de 5 licenciaturas en la modalidad semi-escolarizada; del mismo modo se suman 7 licenciaturas en la modalidad a distancia. Ambas modalidades se apoyan en plataformas electrónicas como Moodle, Blackboard y WebCT, y hacen uso de instrucción y evaluación en línea (BUAP, 2015a). Por tal motivo, los datos que se obtengan de este estudio del uso de un examen en línea, resultado de la percepción de alumnos y docentes, contribuirán a conocer de forma contextualizada el cómo los participantes enfrentan una prueba en línea.Item Apology strategies produced by basic nonnative language learners of English(Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, 2013) Peralta Aguillón, Alma Alicia; PERALTA AGUILLON, ALMA ALICIA; 688665"The knowledge a native speaker of a language as well as a learner possess, develop, acquire, use or lose, is what in the linguistic field is known as communicative competence. This term is mainly associated with Chomsky, who considered it as “the native speaker’s knowledge of his own language” (Paultston, 1992, p. 39). It is the internalized set of rules or the system that enables the speaker the creation of new grammatical sentences and the understanding of the sentences addressed to him, in which an individual performs the speech act based on the knowledge he already possess and is able to communicate not in a proper but in an understandable way. Taking into account this, linguistic competence is the ability to perform, understand and being understandable. According to Hymes, who did not only added other points to Chomskian conception of competence, but contradicted Chomsky’s position, communicative competence “is the knowledge of what is possible, feasible, appropriate and actually done” (Johnson, K. & Johnson, H, 1998, p. 62). It is more than grammatical competence, but also it is the ability to use language in a variety of communicative situations."Item LEI students’ experiences after attending a summer camp: a narrative approach(Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, 2015-02) Guzmán Meza, Brenda Patricia; Sánchez Pérez, Dulce Victoria"In recent years many students from Facultad de Lenguas BUAP have participated in summer camps around The U.S.A.

Therefore this research attempts to provide information about students‘ experiences after attending a summer camp. We use narratives provided by the students from LEI generation 2009 this will contribute to explore these students‘ experiences. The instrument provided us more information about the students‘ life during their stay in the summer camp through the introspective method because it focuses on the observation of human behavior by the examination one's own conscious experiences, thoughts and feelings. (Schultz, 2012 p.77) The research findings showed that, students attended to a summer camp because they had reasons such as; cultural, linguistic and of course for the experience itself. Likewise, most of the students reveal issues that they had to face during their stay at their camps, mentioned in their narratives; on the one hand, they experienced job issues, linguistic barriers and social problems. On the other hand, they mentioned compensations and difficulties that influenced their experiences."
