English Spelling

Idioms are expressions whose meaning cannot be deduced from the individual words, such as break a leg, hit the books or under the weather. Students learn common English idioms and their correct spelling and usage in context. Understanding idioms is essential for comprehending authentic English texts, media and conversation.

Phrasal verbs combine a verb with a preposition or adverb to create a new meaning (give up, look after, turn down). Students learn the spelling and meaning of the most common English phrasal verbs and practice using them in sentences. Phrasal verbs are extremely frequent in spoken and written English and must be mastered for fluency.

ICFES-level vocabulary prepares students for the reading comprehension component of the Colombian national exam. Students practice spelling and recognizing academic and general vocabulary items that commonly appear on the ICFES English section. This targeted preparation improves both test performance and general English proficiency.
