Language +
Hello everyone!
Have a listen to this talk IN ENGLISH (with subtitles in English
if necessary) on how language became what it is and how it has evolved and what
Mr. Pagel sees as the inevitable future.
Use the headphones.
Think about what Pagel says and develop your thoughts on this
topic. Write what you think about what HE SAYS on the origin of language,
on how it has evolved, on what he foresees as the future of language.
How do you feel about language and its power? About how this can
be seen as a tool which can separate us (about minute 2/ minute 16)? How do you feel about
“social learning as social theft? Why? Why not?
Do you agree with the idea of one world, one...
How do you feel about your language? How do you relate it to your
identity as an individual and as a Chilean?

Welcome to level 5
Dear all,
First of all, in this level we will work to make your written, and ideally spoken language a little more formal.
Additionally, more vocabulary will be incorporated so you enrich your texts. Discourse markers are very important in academic writing. These are the words that guide your audience and help them go through the text in a clear manner. Hence, their importance.
Remember in English, sentences are shorter than in Spanish.
Finally, I truly hope we make a lot of progress during this level.
