JUAN LAZARO, OLGA. EFFECTIVENESS OF EXTERNAL MESSAGING IN THE ACQUISITION OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN A MODEL OF AUTONOMOUS AND DISTANCE LEARNING OF SPANISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE. RLA [online]. 2015, vol.53, n.2, pp.121-143. ISSN 0718-4883.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-48832015000200006.

The online language courses or distance courses respond adequately to the needs of students who require flexibility in time commitment. But it is the most demanding and hard modality because the student learns completely autonomously so it suffers a high rate of abandonment. These courses revolve around the axis that forms the digital and multimedia material with which the student interacts alone, a data connection and an electronic or mobile device. The profile of the student must have developed some digital competence and acquired learning strategies. One of the keys in this process of autonomous learning is to establish a realistic planning according to the terms of available time and dedication required for the course. In this study the results of the actions taken to improve the ratio of students who successfully complete the course are exposed. The ultimate goal would be a proposal of automation planning messages and digital design materials and activities that emphasize learning strategies based on the objective of planning learning process as part of the success.

Palabras clave : Autonomous learning; online learning; digital literacy; life long learning; second languages acquisition; learning strategies.
