LANGUAGES/ENGLISH


2009 ± 2010

  

Nowadays English has become a universal language for this reason more and more
people
are trying to learn it.
In our institution, the English course will give an apprenticeship distributed by levels
from
beginners until advanced where those students who have never studied English as those
ones who know something about it can find an appropriate level according to their
knowledge.
When the students finish the course, they will be able to develop the productive skills:
speaking and writing; and the receptive skills: listening and reading. Also, they will be
able
to develop a good vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar of the language.
At the same time, the students will understand the similarities and differences between
American and Ecuadorian cultures and they will learn to respect them.

writing skills in order to improve the opportunities of the students.
