DESCRIPCION DEL CURSO Parte fundamental de la formacin de un profesional es la habilidad de comunicarse en un idioma extranjero adems del propio idioma nativo. No solamente ampla su horizonte cultural sino que permite una visin ms humana y comprensiva de la vida de las personas.

Summary of closure

During the course of basic English skills I acquired mental agility and intellectual undercuts which are important to my performance as a professional. From the assignments in the course, oral presentations were of great help to continuously improve effective communication compared to other teams. Sometimes I complicate the course as there were class I could not understand easily, but with my effort and perseverance to master the subjects achieved as expected but not enough to meet the test that made me the teacher. Lessons at blackboard and the teacher facilitator workshops I take the little one could resolve analyzing complication but I could come up with the required answers. Work trials and sent to the house were very interesting as we had to investigate so that they can deliver in a good way.
