Nowadays, learning English has become into a central part of studiyng any career at University, as well as professional areas. Because of the most current works, researches and innovations are published in English, or traduced to that language, it is essential to manage in which has become almost a global lenaguage. In my personal case, I actually like this languaje, altough I’m still having problems with vocabulary and grammar, so I would talk about my personal experience learning English in the las year.
If I had to talk about the quiality of students’s English, I would have to say that it is very, very basic in general. The reasons of this situation are enough to write an other and extensier essay, but I mention it here because it is a problem that must to be resolved because, as I mentioned in the previous paragraph, knowing English is basic to cope properly in any career. Especially in Psychology, were are taking place different researches and publications, that we have to know, to get an addecuate training as professionals.
In my personal case, I like English, and I have enjoyed most of the classes, but I’m not filling myself prepare as much as I would. I think that in English 4 I’m more prepare than before, but I’m still having some problems, particularly with grammar, as well as my lack of vocabulary. But, I have to say that the teacher have helped us a lot with that, giving us different type of vocabulary related to various situations and contexts. Anyways, I think that the methodology, specially in level four, has been very useful to me, becaues I have learned practical things, taht would help me to speak more fluently, and I think that I can develope in this languaje, in a not very a basic way.
Summing up, I hink that studying English at University is very important, and the way that it takes place here in Universidad de Chile, seems suitable to me. But, like an advice I would tell that it would be very useful to learning some specific vocabulary to each carrer, because that would help us a lot in redinng specific test, also to write articles, or papers, etc. I know that it is a little difficult, but I think taht could be a very useful tool to us as professionals. At last, I haved enjoyed the classes, ther have been very dinamic and clear, and I’m glad to finish this course once and for all jajaja.
