Abstract

Inglés Cientqico se incluye en la oferta de optativas del primer ciclo del nuevo plan de estudios de la licenciatura en Ciencias del Mar de la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria desde el curso académico 2001-2002. Dado que la lectura comprensiva de publicaciones científicas y divulgativas de la especialidad se encuentra entre los objetivos principales de esta asignatura (así lo indican los descriptores del BOE), consideramos que, por tratarse de un formato atractivo para los estudiantes, una buena forma de facilitar el aprendizaje del vocabulario general, la terminología científica y la sintaxis de estos textos sería habituarlos a la consulta de págmas web en inglés relacionadas con las Ciencias Marinas. En este articulo, describimos la actividad didáctica programada para tal fin y analizamos los resultados docentes obtenidos.
