Resumen
This paper presents the University of Puerto Rico, College of General Studies (FEG1),
theoretical model for English language learning. It discusses the work of a committee that has
utilized the concept of General Education to construct a conceptual model of communicative
and linguistic competence for academic purposes. The English department serves non-native
speakers of English having diverse proficiencies, from beginning ESL to higher-level students
who are equally comfortable in both Spanish and English. The model harmonizes general
educational goals, teaching philosophy, and interdisciplinary approach to learning.
Key Words: general education, English for Academic Purposes, interdisciplinary, linguistic
competence, communicative competence.
