Homonyms, Homophones and Homographs
14/22Recursos
¿Qué es un homónimo?
Los homónimos son palabras fascinantes en el idioma inglés. Se escriben igual y se pronuncian de la misma manera; sin embargo, sus significados son completamente diferentes. Un excelente ejemplo de esto es la palabra "bat". Por un lado, "bat” puede referirse al animal alado, el murciélago, y por otro, al objeto utilizado en deportes como el béisbol, el bate. Ambos significados comparten el mismo término, pero no el mismo contexto. Este fenómeno puede ser fuente de confusiones en el aprendizaje del inglés, pero también de gran interés.
¿Cuáles son los homófonos?
Los homófonos son otra peculiaridad lingüística que reta nuestra comprensión auditiva del inglés. Se trata de palabras que suenan igual al ser pronunciadas, pero que tienen diferente ortografía y significado. Un ejemplo clásico son las palabras "meat" y "meet". La primera hace referencia a la carne animal que se consume, mientras que la segunda se utiliza en expresiones como "es un placer conocerte". El dominar los homófonos es crucial para evitar malentendidos en comunicaciones orales y escritas.
¿Qué son los homógrafos?
Los homógrafos son las palabras que se escriben igual, pero cargan significados distintos y, en algunos casos, se pronuncian de manera diferente. Un ejemplo de homógrafo es la palabra "present." Puede referirse a un regalo como sustantivo o a presentar algo como verbo. Entender los homógrafos es esencial para mejorar tanto la comprensión lectora como el vocabulario en inglés.
¿Cómo nos ayuda el juego de roles en el aprendizaje?
Un juego de rol es una herramienta educativa poderosa que nos ayuda a familiarizarnos con el uso real del idioma. En la clase, se presenta un juego de roles donde se utilizan los homónimos, homófonos y homógrafos. Además, se introducen a los estudiantes dos acentos: el americano y el británico, lo cual es fundamental para enriquecer la experiencia auditiva y el entendimiento de cómo el contexto puede cambiar el significado de las mismas palabras.
Al participar en estos juegos de roles, no solo se practica el vocabulario, sino que también se desarrolla confianza al interactuar en inglés. Comienza enfrentando los miedos de hablar en público, siguiendo recomendaciones prácticas como sentarse con la espalda recta o actuar diferentes roles. Esta práctica ayuda a conectar palabras con sus significados y usos apropiados, y nos permite crecer en nuestra capacidad comunicativa.
Participar en dinámicas de juegos de rol te hará la persona más segura y cómoda en la sala, capaz de manejar situaciones con fluidez y naturalidad. Así que anímate y aprovecha estas técnicas para transformar tu aprendizaje del inglés en una experiencia divertida y efectiva.

🗒️Transcription of the conversation between Mariana and Ravee 🗒️✨
Mariana: Hello, Ravee.
Ravee: Hello, Mariana.
Mariana: Hey, I need your help. You see, I get really nervous when I speak in public.
Ravee: So you want to become a more confident public speaker?
Mariana: Yes, I get totally paralyzed when I see the audience’s faces.
Ravee: Then you must face your fears and address the audience.
Mariana: Address? Like, tell them where live?
Ravee: No, not that address. Address, as in speaking to them directly and without hesitation.
Mariana: Oh, I see, address, yeah. Hey, Ravee, will I get better really fast?
Ravee: No, you will get better with time.
Mariana: Oh, okay. I understand. And where do I start?
Ravee: Okay, first of all, you must sit up straight and put your hands on your waist and do the Peter Pan pose.
Mariana: Really? Does that help? I actually went to the theater recently to see the play with my nephew. Afterwards, we played a little game. I was Captain Hook. He was Peter Pan. And his dog Toby was supposedto be Tick Tock the crocodile.
Ravee: Wow, You went to the theater. That’s a really nice story. But let’s not waste any more time and let’s get back to work.
Mariana: Definitely.
Ravee:When I’m done with you, you are going to be the brightest person in the room. And by that I mean that you will not only be the smartest person there, but also you will look and feel comfortable under the spotlights. Trust me.
Mariana: I’m so ready to learn.Thank you for Ravee. You’re so kind.
Ravee: And you are one of a kind.

Holy moly! This is the way to realize why sometimes is more challenging than others to get the complete idea of a speech. Thank a million for doing this kind of example. Ha! And teacher Ravee with his non-rhotic accent… Tremendous!
it is interesting how some words (homonyms), that we use commonly can change their meaning depending the context and what we’re talking about. Besides, some of them can be spelled the same or sound the same but differ.
