Buenas tardes, estimados alumnos.
 |
La semana pasada estuvimos comentando en clase la gran partida de dinero que el programa Erasmus+ destina cada año para becas, -grants-sobre todo para alumnos de Formación Profesional Dual /Ciclos Formativos.
Antes de nada, os dejo un video sobre Erasmus+ para que podáis practicar 'listening'.
Por ello, he pensado que puede ser una buena idea hacer una traducción con más información sobre este asunto que tanto os afecta, sobre qué tendríais que hacer para solicitar una de estas becas, entre otros aspectos. Y por supuesto, también tiene la intención de animaros -encourage- a estudiar inglés para que, el día de mañana, solicitéis una beca para hacer las prácticas de empresa en el extranjero, una experiencia que os abriría muchas grandes puertas en vuestro futuro profesional.
