The purpose of this stage is to prepare students for the development of practical and applicable skills, centered on the vocabulary of objects and parts of the house in English. This aims not only at linguistic improvement but also at applying learning in everyday situations and in the job market, where communication in English is often required.
Contextualization
💡 Objects and parts of the house are part of our daily lives and are essential for describing our environment and routines. Knowing these terms in English not only expands vocabulary but also allows students to express themselves better in real situations, such as when describing their house to a foreign friend or understanding instructions in an international work environment. For example, knowing how to refer to 'kitchen' or 'sofa' can be very useful in various situations.
Curiosities and Market Connection
📈 Did you know that the interior design and architecture sector often requires knowledge of English? Many software programs and technical manuals are only available in that language. Additionally, the ability to communicate about parts of the house and objects in English is essential for professionals working in tourism, hospitality, and even in real estate rental platforms like Airbnb.
