Learning a new language
About the subject, I have never liked to write blogs, my personal experience with them is not very good but mostly is because I don’t find any utility doing it.
I find the English taught at the university at the same level as the one that I saw in high school sometimes, in our case, at least, it is unnecesary to have different English subjects, especially because after the first years comes other harder, most time demanding subjects. I think that it would be a lot better to have a more thecnical English level, for a scientist career like ours. Speaking about my english level , I think I must the imporve the use of verbal time, but I think I didn't make it in this semester.
Outside the English class, generally I don't practice it very much, sometimes I watch series or movies in this language, some with subtitles and others without thme, just to have a little practice time, but I don't use English in average day. However, in some subjects, I have to read papers in English and sincerely speaking, the level taugh in the university has not been useful shorcomings, wich I will have to solve by myself, learning new words that were not includednor used in all the semesters in wich I had an English class.
I understand that this subjects is a product of the curricular innovation carried at the university level,but it should consider the requirements of each faculty to cover them and avoiding problems, like in the lecture of scientific papers, wich are very important for us in our career and even after in postgraduate studies.
At the high school I was attending, I did not learn almost any English
ReplyDeleteHi Sara,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for letting you down this term. Anyway, I must tell you that there is a Scientific English course here that demands Inglès 4 to take it... So, after this course you can get Scientific English...
See you,
