MY FIRST LESSON

Se sabe que en algunas ocasiones el inglés se vuelve un dolor de cabeza cuando eres nuevo, pero no te sientas mal que no eres el único con ese problema. Las diferencias entre tu lengua nativo y el inglés, La estructura gramatical y la conjugación de acuerdo a los tiempos presente, pasado y futuro hace que todo esto sea más confuso. Pero no todo es tan difícil como parece, todo toma su tiempo y poco a poco iras tomando confianza, pero recuerdo que de nada sirve si no tomas en cuenta el contexto donde puedas usar cada cosita que vayas adquiriendo ya sea vocabulario, gramática, expresiones, etc. Porque escribir y leer bien no es suficiente si no puedes entablar una conversación y entender lo que estas diciendo.

Ojo, Interpretar es mejor que traducir!!!!

All of the assessment therefore revolves around your practice teaching: preparing lesson plans, materials and resources, implementing and evaluating lessons. At the end of the course, you and your supervisor want to be sure that you can enter an ESL classroom and teach a class.

IELTS



The Academic English program is a full time IELTS test preparation course.

A prescribed IELTS (International English Language Testing System) score is now required by many Australian and British universities and colleges as a qualification for entry into a formal program. It is a comprehensive test of English language proficiency designed to assess the ability of non-native speakers. It is highly recommended for those who need to use English in an Academic or Professional context. IELTS exams are held every four weeks in Brisbane.

Each module of the exam is graded separately as a ‘Band Score’. The module scores are added together to provide an overall Band Score. Band scores range from 1 (non user) to 9 (expert user). Most universities and institutions of higher education will ask for an overall Band Score (generally between 5.5 for undergraduate programs to 6.5 for post-graduate programs). This program thoroughly and systematically prepares the student for all aspects of the IELTS examination – reading, writing, listening
