"STRENGTHENING Listening-Comprehension and Speaking SKILLS"
INTRODUCCIÓN
Este curso es del nivel intermedio-avanzado, con énfasis muy seria en las aptitudes del habla y la comprensión auditiva. Antes de cada clase el instructor les manda a los estudiantes artículos de algún periódico, u otra fuente, sobre acontecimientos actuales y después de leerlos la clase se reúne para comentar y opinar. ¡No se permite hablar en inglés y no hay mejor manera de aumentar el vocabulario y mejorar la agilidad conversacional y espontánea en español!
