    Presentation


    Introduction

    You have successfully completed the UAI Lengua Extranjera 1, congratulations!

    Now you can use what you have learned in your second UAI Lengua Extranjera 2. To increase your knowledge of the English language you will have to use what you learned in addition to new information. Using verbs in present and past will help you learn how to use of “going to” and “will” to express the future time tense.

    You will continue to use and develop your four basic linguistic abilities: reading, writing, listening and speaking.

    The UAI Lengua Extrajera 2 is made up of 5 modules, each containing topics that will help you create your final project. This final project consists in a simulation of a student exchange program; can you imagine studying your Trayectoria de Aprendizaje Especializada (TAE) abroad?

    Your final project has three parts. The first part needs you to complete the activities from modules 1 and 2 and then you need to create a student work plan. In the second part needs to be completed using modules 3 and 4, here you will write your personal resume. For the third part you will evaluate your spare time on a graph.

    After you complete those three parts, you can begin working on the final project, the student’s exchange program. This will lead you to use a second language more and more.

    Nice working with you!

    Module 2

    Future

    2

    Introduction

    Do you think about your life in the future, in 1 year, 10, 15, 20 years?

    When we think/talk about events that have not occurred yet, we relate to the future. The future can be described two ways:
    With will or going to + verb.

    One example could be:
    Mary is going to graduate in June.
    Tony will drive his mom to work tomorrow.
    What will you do next weekend?
    Do you have plans?

    Think about these structures and you are on your way to your future.

    Have fun while getting from now to then!!

    Topics
    • Future: Will
    • Vocabulary: Future plans, travel plans or others.
    • Going to
    • Forms and spelling rules

    Module 5

    Must be / may be / might be /
    could be / can’t be.



    Introduction

    The world we live in is full of possibilities. We have choices for everything we do. When we talk about possibilities this means there is a 50 / 50 chance between yes or no.

    To use possibilities we normally use: must be / may be/ might be / could be / can’t be.

    If you travel you have a lot of options, many things to do, to eat or places to go. You must be ready for anything; you might be surprised with what you find, so enjoy the adventures and explore all possibilities!

    As mentioned in the introduction, to choose a possibility we normally use: (must be / may be/ might be / could be / can’t be) when we have only two choices.

    Topics
    • Must be / may be / might be / could be / can’t be
    • Vocabulary: Extreme natural events or others.
