CORRECTION

What challenges have you faced during these years? How


did you overcome them?

I’ve faced some problems through these years while


learning English. The biggest one was the fact that I don’t
study every month because of my university schedule that
is very irregular and I have to leave ICPNA for some
months. Even though, I’ve tried to learn some English by
myself so I don’t forget it. For example, I like watching
movies and listening to music in English. Another problem
is that there is not schedule only on Saturdays on ICPNA
for Advanced. It will be easier for me to study and I would
study every month. Actually, I would have finished ICPNA
three years ago if I had studied continuously every month.
Even when I’m on vacation I don’t study those three
months because I sometimes travel with my family for
some weeks and I don’t sign up for ICPNA that month.

What I do to compensate those months that I’m not


studying English, and what I will do once I finish ICPNA is
to practice by myself. For example I try to read some
books in English. Also I enjoy watching movies and series
in English. Finally, travelling is an amazing way to keep
practicing English as I have to communicate with native
English speakers.

What did you think is the purpose of preparing a
Portfolio? Give reasons and details.

I think the Portfolio, that is a compilation of every


homework and activities we are doing in class, is very
important for teachers to know if we are doing well and if
we are learning all the objectives, so there are many
reasons why it is essential that we do it every month.

First of all, in the Portfolio we find everything we have


done on the month so we know what we have been
learning in the course, like the writing and its drafts, the
glossary with all the words we have in the book and other
activities the teacher says. Also, as we do the Portfolio we
practice the vocabulary we do in class by searching the
meaning and making sentences with the words. In this
case, it is useful because we are learning how to use the
vocabulary in a real situation. Besides, it is crucial to do in
the Portfolio, specially in Writing & Reading, the journals
because it helps us to learn how to express our ideas and
opinions correctly as we answer simple questions but with
details. In addition, when we finally finish our English
courses, we can keep practicing English by reading our
Portfolio so we don’t forget the new vocabulary and
grammar we’d learnt.

What expectations do you have of this last month at
ICPNA.

Now that we are finally in the last course of Advanced I


have many expectations, not only of this month, but also
when I finish the course.

For example, I hope I can communicate fluently my


ideas with others, specially with native English speakers.
I really like the idea of being correctly understood and
that I understand everything I am being told, too. Even if
we finish this month, I want to keep working on my
fluency while speaking and I will also try to learn as
much vocabulary as I can. Another expectation I have is
to finally have my certificate that proves I have studied
English for many years. Hopefully I will have good
grades because I’ve been working on that, specially
since I started Advanced. Additionally, I hope I learn
every being aware that I know enough to communicate
correctly. Not only when I speak, but also when I write,
for example, letters or essays. Finally, I’m looking for
more opportunities when I finish ICPNA, in my studies
job and my personal interests.
