TÍTULO
El uso de clips de películas para incrementar estructuras gramaticales específicas en la producción oral.
INTRODUCTION
Due to the fact that the Icesi University integrates the use of the New Information and Communication Technology (NICT) in different fields, one of which can be visual by implementing the use of movie clips in order to increase and improve oral production or communicative skills by exposing students to images that will motivate them to produce their own ideas orally in contrast to their using the traditional exercises taken from grammar books which help to assess if the objective was achieved in a lesson or not.
Clearly the advantages in the use of movie clips are varied: students can listen to the language in context, can speculate on possibilities before and after the segment, can comment on the topic, can have fun and they can also feel that the ultimate goal has been achieved.
INTRODUCCIÓN
Es indudable que las ventajas existentes en la utilización de clips de películas son variadas: los estudiantes pueden escuchar el idioma en su contexto, especular sobre posibilidades antes y después del segmento, opinar sobre el tema, divertirse y sentir que se ha logrado el objetivo final.
ICESI UNIVERSITY CONTEXT
The research population is a Level VIII group of students in the morning 7:00 to 9:00 schedule that is studying at the ICESI University located in the south part of Cali on Avenida Cañasgordas in the Pance sector, specifically at Calle 18 Number 122-135, where you can observe other universities and colleges nearby.

According to the historical account found on the ICESI website page, in the year 1979 a group of 45 students met in a classroom provided by INCOLDA headquaters in the downtown area of Cali to begin their profesional education in Business Administration at INCOLDA. The initial concern was the training of future leaders in the region. In the early 1980s, they opened the evening program of Business Administration and in 1981, they launched an alliance with EAFIT in Medellìn to promote their bachelor degree studies which lasted nearly a decade and laid the foundation for rapid development of this academic institution. 25 years ago, exactly in 1984, the Systems Engineering Program began and it was opened with their first computer classroom. In that same year the Centro de Desarrollo de Espíritu Empresarial (CDEE), the first academic unit in this field established in Latin America. By that time, the first plot of ground was bought for the location of the Icesi University.
This document also describes that when the Icesi came to occupy the new facilities in 1988, it had about 1,500 students at its Pance headquarters. In 1997, they requested the Ministry of Education to be recognized as a university. As stated in their historical review, a series of curriculum content adjustments began in that same year and due to the contents, objectives and learning strategies ranked it as the nation's leading institution in that dimension.
Also in 2008, CIDEIM arrives at ICESI having as the main objective the projection of its programs in Natural Sciences and Medicine, which became official on November 20 in agreement with the International Training and Medical Research Center. In the month of April 2009 the Faculty of Health Science is created and the Medicine program is officially approved in exclusive agreement with Fundacion Valle del Lili.
The ICESI being an institution of higher education has formed, supported and promoted research on teachers and students and has had 14 research groups registered in Colciencias within nineteen undergraduate programs, seven master's degrees and six specialized programs. On the other hand, the group of teachers the ICESI counts on is known for its academic training, its teaching skills and professional experience. 41% of the teachers are full-time and have a doctorade degree, or is in process, 34% have a Master's degree, 19% are specialized and 8% are professionals.
According to the quarterly magazine of the ICESI University called Interacción, regional employers were those who founded and are entrepreneurs in the region that today oversee it from its Superior Council and its Board of Directors. In addition to guidance and control development, employers have contributed resources in money to this academic center and can be seen in its construction, its campus, its technology and the adequacy of their classrooms, auditoriums and offices, as well as in the scholarships to hundreds of young people with high academic potential from families with limited financial situation that could not afford their studies at a private university with high standards.

La preocupación inicial fue la formación de los futuros dirigentes de la región. A principios de 1980 se inauguró el programa nocturno de Administración de Empresas y en 1981 se inició una importante alianza para estudios de postgrado con EAFIT de Medellín que duró casi una década y estableció las bases para un rápido desarrollo académico de ésta institución.
Hace 25 años, en 1984, se inició el programa de Ingeniería de Sistemas y se inauguró la primera aula de cómputo. En ese año se creó también el Centro de Desarrollo de Espíritu Empresarial, CDEE, primera unidad académica en ese campo establecida en América Latina. Por la misma época se compró el primer lote para la sede de Pance.
