THE SUBJECT’S PRESENTATION
Englsih IV is the last general English level. To this point, participants are supposed to have developed certain
competences that allow them to speak and write about topics already seen in previous levels, but for which they now have
to use a more advanced and complex vocabulary and structure of the target language. This level is a chance they have to
read and understand more complex texts, as well as to listen to longer dialogs to increase their listening comprehension
competence. The main goal of level IV is to continue to enrich and develop more deeply the competences of oral and
written comprehension and production, in accordance with the knowledge they are to acquire in this four-level regular
course.
The topics for this subject are: The community, health, occupations and jobs, people and learning.

to speak and write about oneself, ask for and give personal information, express food preferences, talk and write
about one´s community, describe health problems, give suggestions, speak and write about one´s job, express likes
