FINAL REFLECTION
This syllabus “Advanced English II” that I studied this semester was very useful
because I acquired an amply vocabulary in general topics. Also, I developed reading,
listening and writing skills using some English strategies. Furthermore, I improved my
speaking using appropriate language structure, vocabulary, intonation and stress at the
moment to communicate with other people.
This syllabus is important because I achieved all the goals during this semester through
effort and perseverance. It contributes to students’ proficiency in the English language
by allowing students to practice pronunciation in familiar topics where students are able
to expresses by themselves their own ideas. Also, this module helps students a lot
because they are more in depth about the English language improving their fours skill
In the future allow us to open dozen of doors and opportunities for student exchange,
travel, work and study. Therefore, it requires practice and the use of the language in our
daily lives. It’s beneficial to know this module because it gives us many advantages in
our life to be great and successful professionals in the future.
