Objective
At the end of the course, you will be able to communicate in English in everyday situations at a basic level.
You will be able to use the four skills (listening, speaking, writing and reading) to undertake meaningful real
tasks. Another objective of the course is to make you feel confident using English in different daily situations,
and to acquire practical tools and criteria to assess your learning process.
Methodology
For learning a foreign language successfully, you must be responsible for your own learning and exercise
that responsibility through preparing your lessons before classes, doing homework, working on your tasks,
your portfolio, and assessing your process. It is also necessary to use the target language as medium of
classroom communication, channel of learning, and tool for reflection. For this reason, all classes will be
given in English.
Your teacher will provide you with material, links to practice the topics and to acquire strategies, and access
to an educational platform (CANVAS). In addition, you will have to register your process on an online
portfolio that will be an important tool to evaluate your progress and receive constant feedback from your
teacher, your classmates, and yourself.
As previously mentioned, you are expected to work on tasks, which will help you practice and interiorize the
topics studied in each term.
You will also participate in a workshop once a week, which aims at developing your communicative abilities
in the business field through a series of fun and didactic activities.
Tasks
As part of the work you will do for this class, you will have to create three tasks (one task per term) and some
mini-tasks that will be part of the step-by-step process you will start working on from the first term. These
activities are aimed at enhancing your linguistic, communicative and technological skills.

Workshop
You will develop a series of workshop sessions to learn vocabulary related to the tourism world and develop
communicative skills needed in this field. These sessions will take place after each topic and will be carried
out through fun, dynamic and real-based situations that will allow you to experience the use of the foreign
language in a professional context.
Portfolio content
In the portfolio, you will have the opportunity to reflect on your process, and to include evidence of your
learning experience in and out of the classroom (activities, pictures, games, videos, etc.)
Attendance
Attendance to every class is advisable because you need constant practice in speaking; and your teacher
needs to give you feedback on your progress with respect to how you communicate with others in English.
Also, during the classes you will have the opportunity to answer questions concerning concepts or structures
of the language.
Evaluation
The purpose of the evaluation is to measure your academic achievement throughout the course and to
identify specific aspects you can improve. To do this, coursework will include written and oral quizzes and
classwork, a task per each term, two term exams, a final exam, and a portfolio.
GRADING
Class topics
