English program and my academic year...

Undoubtedly to handle the English language is a fundamental tool to perform well in academic and professional fields, therefore in this context is extremely important to learn English. On a personal level, learning a second language takes people out of their imprinted mindset and exposes them to the mores and customs of an entirely different group of people. Their view of the world expands beyond blurbs on the nightly news and into a deeper understanding of how other people think. In terms of community, learning a second language will also increase understanding and compassion for other cultures. This becomes a powerful tool in fighting stereotypes and bigotry. Pragmatically, with the advent of the global marketplace, having a second or even third language on a resume is almost a requirement of the job-seeking professional.
Considering this, my experience in English courses of the university in general has been positive, I have improved my skills in speaking, my pronunciation, also I've been able to learn more in terms of vocabulary and grammar, on the other hand, I could share a lot with my peers, which of course enhances the activity. I believe now I can understand better the listening and it is easier for me to elaborate in writing activities.
In this sense, I believe that regardless of subject in question the incorporation and use of technological resources in the activities makes the learning process something much more dynamic and contingent, allowing us to understand better and more easily the contents.
As a self evaluation of my academic year, I think that overall this year has been quite positive, I had a good performance, I got good grades and I had very interesting courses in which I could learn a lot. I'm at a stage in my career that it is very important to begin to define what area of psychology I would like to develop myself, and fortunately I have enough clarity on this, definitely I love the community social psychology.
In conclusion, I think this year has been quite significant in academic terms, I have discovered what is the area of psychology I like most and the themes that interest me to work, these are education, poverty and environmental problems, which are closely related. As I said before I got good results and I learn a lot. Regarding the English program I can say that it was a positive aspect too, a very good experience where I could learn many things.

    Remember to use quotations marks when you use material from a different source, or even better, try to paraphrase ideas.
    Plese have a look at your corrected post.
