Each student provides two (2) ideas answering the following question and
supporting his opinion: · How can you improve your speaking and listening
abilities using Internet?

1. Today there are App to improve vocabulary and pronunciation.

2. Use of online translators, mini courses and videos on YouTube

 LUIS GIOVANNI ROZO

The Internet offers multiple possibilities about resources to practice the English
language, and, in order to profit them, I identify some specific strategies, such as:
(1) Use the UNAD English 3 Course to follow a discipline of study during the
semester. Though I have learned how to read in English and even to write a few, I
never have practiced specifically the listening and speaking abilities, so, by applying
the Course study program, surely, I could advance in these abilities.
(2) Equally, use the recommendations from the Course to help in the selection of
materials. Make selections of the available materials and web sites, in search for
quality and specific design orientation to improve English speaking and listening.
Finally, also, select materials related to the actual profession and the Electronics
Engineering study, that’s in development by me at the UNAD.
