Learning Results
Taking into account these professionals’ role, the aim of this curricular unit is to
develop in the students the ability to plan and structure presentations, to participate
in meetings or even to lead them. Some time will also be devoted to the report, a
structured written recording of different activities.
So that students can perform correctly the oral and written tasks they are given, the
grammar structures of the English language will be reviewed.
