Evidencia 5: Estudio de caso “La importancia de aprender un idioma”

 ¿Qué problema de comunicación encontró entre las dos partes?

The most obvious problem between the interviewers and the interviewee was the lack of
knowledge of English by interviewers. By having no knowledge of the language, they kept making
mistakes in the translation of the answers given by the band, they were trying to translate merely
by the sounds they understood trying to attach them to Spanish.

 ¿La información dada por los locutores fue correcta? Justifique su respuesta.

It was completely wrong. They did not spoke any English and the translation that they were doing
did not correspond at all to what the interviewed band was saying.

 Enumere otras situaciones similares que conozca donde se presente este problema.

When we try to communicate with another person outside our country or even city, it’s hard
sometimes to understand what they are saying because we are not used to their language, accent
or colloquialisms; and this does not only happens when we are hearing another language,
sometimes it happens even with our same language. For example, if I go to Spain it is going to be
hard for me to understand some words even if I speak Spanish, because the language varies a lot
depending on the culture. Then if it happens in our same language, it happens even more with
another language other than ours.

 ¿Qué concluye de esta situación?

In such a globalized world it is extremely important to know other languages, especially English.
Nowadays speaking another language is equivalent to knowledge of general culture, since global
borders are increasingly open, we are always in contact with foreign information and this is not
always in our language and sometimes our jobs force us to communicate in another language in
order to keep the business afloat. Is for this reason that it is essential to study and practice
another language, to keep us in line with the advances of the world, and not make mistakes as
serious as the one presented in the demo video.
