Learning English at the university



Hello today I am going to talk about my experience learning English at the university.

English is a fundamental tool to perform well in academic and professional fields, therefore in this context is extremely important to learn English. Universidad de Chile has structured a program with four courses and different levels for his/her students.

If you study in this university, you have to give a test and based on that test you will be at a level. I had to give that test and I stayed in the first course, I had to do all levels! : Starter, beginner, pre-intermediate and intermediate. Each level takes a semester to be completed and after the course a final test is taken to evaluate the knowledge, abilities and competencies acquired during the course. Once approved those four levels you will get a certification that confirm that the courses have been satisfied passed.

My experience in English courses of the university in general has been positive, I have enjoyed and I have learned things that I had not learned before, teachers are good, and they are motivating and patients and they’re always ready to help me when I need. I think the methodologies of class are really good, I can participate in many ways and I constantly receive feedback from teachers at the class. One of the things 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 and my preferences.

In conclusion, learning English at University have been a good experience, I sincerely feel that I have learned many things and I can say that I have improved my English. 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, although the English program still has flaws.
