Course Description:
This course belongs to the basic interdisciplinary training field and the foreign
languages component which seeks the development of the competences to interact in
a second language and is included in the curriculum guidelines of academic programs
at UNAD.
This is a 3 academic credits methodological course. The course is divided into 3 units:
The first unit – “Expressing rules and regulations”, gives the student the opportunity
to learn how to express prohibition and to talk about rules and regulations. The
second unit “Describing places” allows the student to describe feelings and emotions
and to describe and compare places. In Unit 3 “Talking about personal experiences”,
the student will be able to talk about past events and personal experiences. Through a
Task Based learning strategy and 6 different tasks the student is led to acquire the
skills needed to talk about personal experiences, daily life situations and events.
This course is important for the student because it will give him the opportunity to
study and practice the intermediate contents of English. Also, it will allow the student
1
to acquire different skills: oral comprehension (audio and speaking ability) and written
comprehension (writing, interpretation, and content development), encouraging
students to learn English for their personal lives using techno-didactic resources to
learn a foreign language with autonomy and tutorial accompaniment.
