Education

Academic collocations for learning, studying, and educational contexts

Introducción

El inglés académico depende mucho de colocaciones específicas. Los estudiantes "sit an exam" (se presentan a un examen), no "write an exam" (en inglés británico), y "do research" (hacer investigación), no "make research". Estas combinaciones son esenciales para el éxito académico.

Este capítulo cubre las colocaciones de educación, desde el colegio y la universidad hasta el autoaprendizaje y la formación continua.
