Portfolio 1 - Paúl Tuapanta

TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF AMBATO LANGUAGES CENTER

Professor: Lic. Mg. Lorena Meléndez Student: Paúl Tuapanta Level: A2 – A4 Time: 07:00 – 09: 00

To complement the training of competent professional leaders, with a humanistic vision and critical thinking through the teaching of languages framed in academic excellence, research and links with the community, who apply, promote and disseminate knowledge in response to the needs of the country.

The Specialised Department of Languages of the Technical University of Ambato, due to its levels of excellence, will become a complementary unit of support for higher education with national and international leadership and projection.

My philosophy of study is that the knowledge that the teacher imparts will be treasured in me, that she will feel proud that her teaching falls on me and will be of great support. To give my all, learning is about the teacher and the student. My expectations are to improve my pronunciation, to start thinking in English and not just translate it in my mind, and to achieve all this with the support of the teacher.
