Al igual que en el caso de la mediación escrita, al tratarse de una destreza/prueba relativamente reciente en el aprendizaje de inglés como segunda lengua, muchos alumnos encuentran dificultades a la hora de abordar esta parte del examen. Si la enfocas como una prueba de expresión oral, sin más, al estilo de un monólogo o […]
La prueba de expresión escrita (ya sabes, el “writing”) resulta a veces un tanto complicada para muchos alumnos, especialmente en niveles avanzados. Una cosa es poder expresarnos con cierta solvencia sobre varios asuntos (cosa que, a menos que practices regularmente, no deberías dar por sentado), y otra bien distinta es saber expresar matices, expresar énfasis […]
El Speaking es probablemente la destreza que más se nos atraganta cuando estamos aprendiendo inglés.

“You’re either making progress or you’re losing ground” So reads the extract of one of Mike Matthews’s podcast series “Motivation Monday” which I would religiously listen to every Monday as soon as the audio file (scheduled for Mondays first thing in the morning, USA EDT) would make it to the iVoox app of my cell […]
El gran Arnold dejó de ser la super estrella de Hollywood al que muchos de los que fuimos adolescentes en los 90 admirábamos y disfrutábamos de sus películas. Tuvo su periplo con la política y llegó a ser, ni más ni menos, gobernador del estado de California. Nada mal, para un inmigrante austriaco que se […]
The unit we’re about to finish has dealt with work and careers, basically trying to make a living for ourselves and our loved ones in our daily grind. The term “Rat Race” (aka brutally fierce competition usually taking place in the workplace, but also in life, in general) came up in one of our sessions […]
