Abstract | Effective communication is a fundamental aspect of human relationships and a key interpersonal skill to be considered and developed at an EFL Teacher Education Program. Yet, a variety of challenges are posed for those in the process of becoming (proficient) users of English in an environment where Spanish is the main means of communication. Our contribution, as ELT practitioners, will focus on one aspect of our discourse that we observe requires reflection: lexical gaps emerging from administrative aspects of our reality as an English-centered Section inserted in a Spanish speaking academic setting. Two strategies that are usually implemented in the Program to fill these semantic voids will also be discussed. (As Provided). |
