Nuestra forma de educar es comunicativa. Nos enfocamos en brindarles a los

estudiantes la oportunidad de usar el inglés, además de enseñarles cómo ser más
efectivos con el lenguaje. Las clases son centradas en el alumnado, de tal manera
que puedan discutir lecturas, escribir y efectuar evaluaciones escritas, hacer
presentaciones, sintetizar ideas de forma oral y escrita, escuchar y comentar
noticias. Le exigimos a los estudiantes utilizar más de una habilidad a la vez, de la
misma manera como lo hacen quienes hablan inglés como primer idioma.
Combinando lectura y conversación, audio y escritura, o las cuatro al mismo
tiempo. En el aula, alumnos y profesores sólo se comunican en inglés. Las tareas
constituyen una parte regular de los cursos en todos sus niveles, promoviendo un
mayor desarrollo de cada área.

PERFIL DEL ESTUDIANTE: El alumno visualiza el estudio del idioma y cultura

extranjera como algo valioso e importante, participa en actividades que mejorarán la
adquisición del idioma. El alumno es capaz de dar presentaciones en inglés, usando
gestos apropiados y pronunciando correctamente. Utilizará su criterio para evaluar su
propia efectividad y la de otros en discusión de grupo y presentaciones formales. Es
capaz de discriminar palabras o términos técnicos. Comprenderá los principios
gramaticales del idioma inglés, así como sus aplicaciones en el ámbito empresarial.
Conocerá, pronunciará y comprenderá el vocabulario adecuado para poder aplicarlo al
campo laboral.
