Improve skills
Chile is the second country with the best English skills in
Latin America
Catalina Marconi, 10 OCT 2022 07
The study "Taking Global Opportunities For People”,
prepared by the Chilean startup Poliglota, analyzed the linguistic skills of
various countries in the region. Among other things, the report showed that men
are more interested than women in studying another language and that more than
half of the people who want to learn another language are between 26 and 36
years old.
What is the level of English of Chileans like? What are the
main motivations for studying another language? These and other questions related
to language learning were answered by a study prepared by the Chilean startup
Poliglota, which also carried out an analysis at the Latin American level.
According to the report, the language most requested by
Chileans is English, which represents 79.65% of requests to learn another
language. They are followed, by far, by Portuguese with 6.19% of the demand,
Italian with 5.09% and French and German with 5.09% and 4.8%, respectively.
Regarding English, the study says that, although schools in
Chile have study programs from basic levels of education, only 2% of the
population really masters the language.
The classification that measures the level of English
proficiency is divided into A1 and A2 (basic level), B1 and B2 (intermediate
level) and C1 and C2 (advanced level). 41.56% of students in Chile, upon
entering Poliglota courses, arrive at level A1, followed by 32.15% at level A2,
so none of the skills are structured and even people are not able to recognize
them. Their understanding, according to the study, is very basic, since they
assimilate words and only use simple phrases or expressions.
Meanwhile, considering the level of English by gender, in
Chile 51.8% of the people who most seek to learn languages are men, versus
48.2% of women. However, when the courses begin, it is the men who have a lower
level of the language. Regarding the most developed skills of Chileans, when
they begin English courses associated with their level (basic A1, A2), it is
reflected that they can have basic interactions on everyday topics with very
simple and simplified structures. The second most developed skill is listening,
where they can recognize simple phrases as long as they are spoken slowly and
clearly.
Among the least developed skills are literacy (writing and
reading) and speaking. Regarding the first, Chileans at basic levels are able
to write single words and short phrases, as well as recognize common words
within texts. Meanwhile, in relation to speaking ability, Chileans have a
restricted linguistic repertoire based on short words, thus limiting
opportunities to communicate with others. Language proficiency at the Latin
American level
Currently, in Latin America only 2% of the population
masters all English skills and is able to communicate, while the other bulk of
the population is at basic levels or even has no knowledge of another language.
According to the study, the 10 countries that have the most developed skills to
communicate in English in Latin America are Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Peru,
Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, Uruguay, Brazil and Venezuela. 29.27% of the
people who enroll in English courses at Poliglota have an A2 level of the
language and 26.8% are at the A1 level, that is, more than half of the students
(56.07 %), when beginning the English courses, they are at a basic level, which
means that their knowledge of English only allows them to understand simple
phrases, but they are not able to maintain a fluid conversation with a person
or deliver more ideas. complex.
Regarding age ranges, in Latin America, 59.2% of people who
want to learn another language are between 26 and 36 years old, followed by
those between 16 and 26 years old (18.1%) and then from 36 to 46 years (17.2%).
Of all of them, 71% are workers from different industries or institutions,
mainly.

English for kindergarten
It is essential to begin the first notions of the language English, since boys and girls go through their years of greatest neuronal plasticity and, for the same reason, they transforms into the level at which notions of understanding and execution are most acquired. Likewise, it becomes an opportunity for boys and girls to acquire, in parallel with their mother tongue, new words in your vocabulary and thus continue the learning process in a more fluid and natural in the future.
According to María Jesús Honorato (2016): “In foreign language contexts, the reason for starting a early age is mainly to extend the learning time period when there is Little language exposure; Thus, students have greater opportunities to achieve a better level of linguistic competence of the language when they become adults.”

the possibilities and tomorrow opt for travel and get to know other countries

private education students to perfect their English, but also gives them the
opportunity to improve their interpersonal relationships among young people,
gives them tools for coexistence, allows them to create ties and meet students
from other countries. communes of the province.

activities to promote their socio-emotional well-being and reinforce their
self-esteem.

The Pedagogical Institute was founded in 1889 and four years
later, in 1893, the first English curriculum was designed by Dr. Rodolfo Lenz.
The curriculum objectives included reading and understanding modern authors,
everyday conversations, writing “without serious errors” and important aspects
of British Literature starting with Shakespeare.
How English was learned informally, before the 60s in Chile
in a personal way
My grandfather read all kinds of topics. even philology
I keep some books from his collection
In the past, they did not need technology to learn foreign
languages, you just needed to be constant and practice a lot.
