Higher Education ISLA - Instituto Superior de Línguas e Administração Rua das Praças, 47 1249-066 LISBOA Phone: 21 0309900 Fax: 21 0309917 E-Mail: isla.lisboa@lx.isla.pt After all the science-related exams, I did the languages exams and had great grades, so I enrolled in Translation at ISLA. Did the first year of the program, and the first semester of the 2nd year, then decided that wasn't worth the stress nor the conflicts with teachers, and especially not the money for that kind of "service". The first year program included General Translation, Composition and Debate, Study of Texts, Grammatical Structure and Lexicon, Introduction to Linguistics, Contrastive Analysis of Texts (the previous six being doubled, each for French and English), French Life and Institutions, British Life and Institutions, Portuguese Language and Literature, Theory and Methodology of Translation, Word Processing and History. Note: The program of studies has been changed and the first year is completely different now.

No one acted like spoiled rich kids, the teachers cared if we were learning or not, small classes with a great environment, it was really unbelievable. I wanted to do take the French courses and obtain the Certificat de Comepetence en Langue Francaise, and of the 8 courses in the program I only had to take 3 (prior learning experience). I graduated with honors. Documents scanned: progress report, diploma Other Education CLEC - Centro de Linguas Estrangeiras de Cascais (no longer exists) This is where I took preparation classes for the First Certificate in English and had a blast with it. Small class, very cool teacher and we occasionally played games like Password and Fill in the Blanks with music lyrics.

Montreal West, QC, H4X 2G9, Canada Phone: (514) 482 6951 My first experience with distance education, I found it a very comfortable way to learn. I chose the Secretary course and received all the books, software and other materials through mail, and studied at my own pace.

I was suprised with the support from the teacher for this type of course: regular letters accompanied the tests and she was always a phone call away. |
