Listening: development of comprehension of academic spoken discourse and interactional competence. Reading: analysis of academic and journalistic texts to support comprehension. Written expression: writing descriptive and argumentative texts. Oral expression: emphasis on discussion, argumentation from different perspectives, appropriate register use, and oral expression techniques.
