A group of foreign students will soon...

Introduction

In this proposal I shall give reasons for designing a special programme to help foreign students at our university to become more proficient in their oral language skills.

Reasons for developing a programme

Foreign students coming to our university to study need to have a high level of proficiency in our language. Most of these students have passed the relevant language examinations and encounter few problems. They have often, however, had little opportunity to use the language for speaking. Although their current skills help them with their studies, they need to integrate into the general student population, and speaking the language fluently would help this.

A possible speaking programme

Pedro Páramo

The last 8th de septiembre, while I was walking with my friends in Covadonga, we were spectators of the celebration of a festival that was happening in this place and it was close to where we were staying. We were walking to the place when we saw many people gathered in the square of the cathedral. We went to see what happened, then we heard music and a procession came out of the cathedral. Everyone was dressed up in traditional costumes. As soon as we saw this, we started to smile with joy. It was the day of Asturias, and it was a holiday in the area. By the time the party was over, we went to take a taxi, but they were all busy, so we had to walk home at night. In the end, we came home very tired and late, and we went to sleep....

«The initial state of the phonology, I propose, is one in which constraints against phonological markedness outrank the faithfulness constraints, which demand that the surface form (output) is identical to the underlying form (input, in OT terminology).1 The result is that in the initial stages of acquisition the outputs are unmarked. The process of acquisition is one of promoting the faithfulness constraints to approximate more and more closely

Protecting Our Planet: A Shared Responsibility

First of all, I would like to say that we are destroying our planet, and this is a matter that concerns everybody, but especially Western people. For many years, experts have warned the most powerful governments that our world is in danger.

Giving reasons why we are destroying our environment would take me a long time; however, I would like to list some of the reasons why we continue to ignore this problem.

• Firstly, we live in a capitalist system, which means that the main goal is to increase corporations' profits and people's needs, and so on, without taking care of what they are doing to our world.
• Secondly, I think we have received a very poor environmental education, and from my point of view this
