Learning English at University

One of the most important things in our formation as psychologist is learning english as a foreing language, this is important to the extent that we are constantly reading, doing researches and contacting other professionals from different countries. Universidad de Chile have taken this as a responsibility and they have estructed their courses curriculum based on this necessity. And now we, as student, can benefit from this initiative.

In undergraduate courses, here in my University there are 4 levels of english that student must approve, these are: starter, begginer, pre-intermediate and intermediate. In my case, I’m on the 4th level of english, each level takes a semester to be completed and after the course a final test is taken to evaluate the knowledge, habilities and competencies adquired during the course. Once approved those three level we get a certification that confirm that the courses have been satisfied passed.

So far I have enjoyed and learnt things that I had not learnt before, teachers I’ve had so far have been very good, motived, patient, and they’re always ready to help us when we need. I think the methodology of class are really good, we can participate in many ways and we constantly recieve feedback from teachers at the class. One of the thing that I emphasize is the blogging experience which is a method that uses technology for learning. In relation to it my blogging experience was a very interesting experience, it was a new way of learning english that I never used before. It was fun and entertaining too! I honestly enjoyed it, because I could use my imagination and I could explore about topics related to my area. It also helped me to improve my englishn because I had to apply vocabulary and learn new expression while I’m writing. I also felt free to express my opinions about many topics and talk about my plans in the future.

In conclusion, learning english at University have been a good experience, I sincerely feel that I learnt many things and I can say that I have improved my english in fact, moreover I am sure that I am not the only one. Related to this, It’s very important that we have a good training in english, in that point Universidad de Chile have done a good work, because our future as students and professionals depends on it.
