Thinking about my experience learning English, can be resumed in this idea: "School taught me some rules that I don't remember, and interacting with native speakers trough games was more useful!".
In my case it's the truth, talk in English with people was more useful instead learn some rules, for example I don't know how many times some teacher taught the present perfect, from school to high school.
Now, talking about my experience learning english at university, it's different than school, because I'm in english 4, and it's supposed that I know all the basics rules for english, so I don't learn English, not like school, I practice English here, obviously you can learn something new that you didn't know, but my english at the university has been more practice that learning according to me.
For example, we have to write blogs, and it's a fantastic idea, because most of the times the blog theme it's interesting, making the redaction fun, and making it a non-tedious activity (it's hard to learn and have fun in my case), so, blogs are very good, It's a good idea to use blogs for the english learning.
Now, I know there's a long way for me if we talk about english, you can always improve, but now, my weakness in my opinion are pronunciation and hearing. They are basics for conversations, so my plan it's practice my pronunciation alone or with friends that I know they have good pronunciation, and the hearing, my plan it's watch series in english without subtitles, and try to understand it, also understand what some songs say without reading the letter.
I want to improve in english, because I use it a significant amount of time, when I play a game and have to talk with my teammates, when I hear a song and don't want to search the letter, when I read some news in the internet and it's writed in english, when I sing a song in english, I use it every day practically.

Changes to my study programme
There some aspects of this career to talk about, and I'm gonna talk about them because I can.
So, about the curriculum, it's fine, I mean, sometimes I think "This is useful? Can I use it in my day to day or my future job?", but, maybe it's just me.
About the teaching methods, I have nothing to say, because, teachers do what they can, it's hard to do an interactive class with a full room of students, you can't, so it's fine, the theoretical class it's theoretical, the practical class it's practical, you learn making the things, so, it's okay, may there are "better" teacher than others, because they have charm, but the teaching methods are practically equals.
Now, when I think in the workload and length of studies, one questions comes to my mind, and its "why my first class its at the 8:30 AM and my last class finish at the 6:20, having a 4 hours window in the same day?" I don't know who did the time table, but I hate it with my soul, so, I don't know, maybe an improvement of timetables for students? All of this without thinking in some tests after the class schedule...
The use of technology it's fine too, I can't think about other instances where we need the use of technology, obviating when we use them, and when we use them it's fine, computers work, internet works, it's everything what we need.
Talking now about the faculty facilities, classrooms are good, laboratory it's good, everything seems good, maybe my only repair it's about the tables, they are too small, I barely fit my arm with my notebook in that space.
But if we think about it well, this is my first semester, I haven't been long enough to analyze carefully this aspects of the career.
