Guía didáctica: Communicative Grammar III 3. Introduction Welcome to this interesting and useful course called Communicative Grammar III. This course is a “génerica de carrera” (core general course) and it is offered during the third semester of the English Program in the Distance System at the UTPL. Students completing this course receive five academic credits. Communicative Grammar III is a theoretical and practical course that will help you to improve your English skills and knowledge. This knowledge contributes to a better use of the English language, which is considered by many a lingua franca around the world. This course is quite important because the grammar of the English language is a fundamental aspect in the production of language. A vast knowledge of some English grammatical structures, which will be acquired by studying this course, contributes to the development of the students’ spoken and written skills in English. For this reason, the contents selected are illustrated with examples which allow you to practice what you have learned; thus, acquiring the necessary knowledge and abilities in order to understand grammatical structures and their components at an intermediate level. Additionally, this course is intended to contribute to your integral education, vocational training, and values according to the philosophy and principles of the UTPL. This contribution will be valuable in your life, profession, and service to society. The contents to be learned have been carefully selected, and will build upon the skills and knowledge you acquired in Communicative Grammar I and II. The contents have been equally distributed in two bimesters: Units 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be studied in the first bimester, and units 5, 6, 7 and 8 in the second bimester. Each unit contains short sections in which there will be review and expansion of the present, past and future tense. Additionally, you will study topics which include pronouns, phrasal verbs, modals and similar expressions, nouns and articles, adjectives and adverbs, as well as gerunds and infinitives. With my help and your effort, I am sure that you will successfully complete this course and these improved English skills will allow you to take advantage of many opportunities in life. My name is Paul Gonzalez Torres and it’s a pleasure to accompany you in your language learning process throughout this semester. I hope that we can share experiences that will improve our knowledge in this field. Good luck! UNIVERSIDAD TÉCNICA PARTICULAR DE LOJA La Universidad Católica de Loja 6
