One of the examples of ICT that is used to enhance learners＇ creativity is the use of video. Although the use of ICT is encouraged in the learning and teaching of a language, it is still minimally applied in UMS （University Malaysia Sabah）, especially in the teaching and learning of a language. In this study, video-making is used as one of the assessments to measure learners＇ proficiency in the target language, which in this case, the Spanish Language. The video-making project was found to be able to improve learners＇ communication skills and knowledge building capabilities, as well as enhances learners＇ interest in the learning of the Spanish Language. It is found that intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, nature of the course, lecturers＇ positive support as well as students＇ positive determination to obtain good grades are among the factors contributing to the students＇ positive performance in the Spanish Language.展开更多

When the author refers to cultural situation, the author means the language or dialect that they speak. In the state of Puebla, Mexico, there are primary schools where the courses are taught to students who do not speak Spanish and they only speak their own dialect. On the other hand, the use of information and communication technologies in primary schools in Puebla is a fact but a main concern in schools is that the languages in which they are operated are Spanish. To analyze this situation, the author finds that turns out to be very important and with a negative effect on both the implementation and acceptance of a multimedia program in these schools, generating a technological gap between students. The government efforts are decimated because of this cultural divide prevalent in many communities in the state of Puebla and the increase of this situation when considering the illiterate population.展开更多
