I´m Richard W (R_doble W) Pantoja. Arts visual student in the sixth period, but for the homologation procces, i think provably I´m in 9o or 10o (...hope).

Living in Ibgué, 48 years old, Graphic designer. Technical support of computers, but with not permanent work. Just to now my economic situation is some hard. However, I try to take it easy… waiting for a good chance. And as Bob Marley says in his song. . . “Don´t worry about the things…. Every little thing gonna be all right… say don´t worry…”

About the personal topics, I can to say… I´m something maverick or dissident, not so much realy... but a little distanced from normal reality. My targets are different respect other people. I´m some little NERD and with a huge interest for to learn English, once and for all.

I have a seriously difficulty hearing others speak, specially native speakers, I think they go so fast. And I have a medical situation on my voice, even for to speak Spanish to pronounce the letters, S, C, X, Z. I keep the fait

c.   Answer the questions

1.       How can English help you in your personal development? English has been very important in my personal development because in my works, my studies and in very different situations and environments. I have been able to resolve those situations, understand user manuals, learning songs; I have able to help others too.   And my general culture knowledge is stronger than other people, and this provide me some advantage and a better personal status.

2.       Is English important in your career? If so, why? I believe it´s very important. I´m not only an artist, I have to work like Computer technical support, and in this environment you have to know “obligatory” some minimum of English. But in the present I have taken the decision to give a radical turn only for the arts way, and I want going building the respective recognition here in Colombia, and maybe beyond, out of the country. Why not, I feel I can get it!  I have a dream (ehhhh) I would like to go to NY, the big apple… someday, someday.
3.       Do you think the syllabus of this course is going to help you to improve yourEnglish? I have read the syllabus, I think is important go moving to the globalized world, this is imminent. And the UNAD is offering this to their students, for instance: the individual and group activities and interaction, the orientation and guide on line.  Are important too, the progressive learning, develop skills to listen and the writing and comprehension. And specially develop skills for the natural situations and real topics on the real and present world. I believe so.

4.       Which of the topics from the syllabus is familiar for you? I believe, that the main topics are the basic learning really, because I have an acceptable level of pre knowledge and this have able to me for to have an easy learning process, here at the UNAD environment, and also I´m in homologation mode for the SENA agreement, and this let me validate two levels of English.  However II can adapt, my capacities, to the required model.  It’s not a problem.  

5.       How has your English learning experience been?  It has been a long experience, really.  I´m sure may facility for learning English come… since my kindergarten days, I remember and I had the huge fortune to go to a bilingual little school. I remember the Gimnacio Bella Suiza in Bogotá. But,,, very much years after of this, I had to live in different cities of Colombia, all my life. Different schools, different cultures (this is real, in Colombia we are not the same people, and we are very different) Ok, the secondary for my English was not so fortunate. But with the years I get my own personal interest for this universal language, and return to my kindergarten songs, and my blond beautyfull teacher, it haves allowed me to make easier, my English skills development. Although sometimes I look like a crazy parrot.


d. Make a recording in English describing how you feel about this course and how it
contributes to your professional or personal goals.

First I have to tell you that my English pronunciation, really, is not the best… also. And this is an special situation I have a medical condition on my voice with seriously difficulties to pronounce letters like S C X Z,,, and others.  But so, ill going to try to make the activity.
About how you feel… I have to say i´m feeling good, I believe and understand the big importance of the present course.  Is a great opportunity for to continue the process of development our English skills.

 I think the main contribution is make strong the competences or skills necessaries for to get advantage and better opportunities in this globalized world… or at least, for achieve a similar level to people who speak  this language, how a basic requirement nowdays.
And anyway, speak, write, read and understand english it’s like a presentation card, this provide a very significant plus for our skills and for our personal status too.
In this way the course is a big contribution for grow the necessary knowledge for get our goals.
