Evento desarrollado el pasado 16 de noviembre entre estudiantes de la Santoto Tunja y de nuestra institución hermana, Providence College en Estados Unidos.
Durante el encuentro, aprendices de segunda lengua tuvieron la oportunidad de intercambiar conocimientos en espacios de conversación con hablantes nativos, tanto de español como de inglés.
En espacios de 30 minutos, los participantes intercambiaron experiencias sobre la cultura colombiana y estadounidense, tradiciones, percepciones y acentos, entre otros; recalcando siempre la importancia de aprender una segunda lengua.
Esta iniciativa se da por articulación del Centro de Lenguas y Culturas Extranjeras -CILCE- e instituciones pertenecientes a la Orden de Predicadores; y espera ser replicada como buena práctica para llegar a más estudiantes.
Testimonio Santoto Tunja:
“The experience was amazing because I had the opportunity to talk with a pretty girl in English and notice that I can undersatand perfectly the language. Also, when she was speaking in Spanish I undertood her due to, her vocabulary and pronunciation are very great. I think that this kind of activities help to studients to start speaking English and to keep a conversation with American people speaking about different topics such as their cultures, their studies, their family and country. I hope to have the opportunity to do this activity soon! Thank you for inviting me”

“I can describe the experience as rewarding and enriching. I think it is always important to be able to talk to people from other cultures and languages, this always allows you to learn a lot, especially when you are learning another language. The girl I spoke to had a very good level in Spanish and, likewise, I think I could express myself correctly in English. I appreciate the opportunity and hope it will happen again”
