 THE SUBJECTS PRESENTATION

English III represents another step ahead in the language subjects included in all the Universitys study programs. This level
continues with the purpose to develop communicative competences in a foreign language like English, as it has been set and
planned by the Institution.

Level III provides more advanced tools to participants, so that they will be able to participate more actively and fluently in dialogs
that require a higher level of comprehension and production, be it written or oral. In this subject, participants have the chance to
speak and write about topics like: shopping habits, countries, nationalities, capitals, official languages of countries around the
world, food preferences, things they like and dont like, places they live in, and so forth.
