This blog is meant for Alianza Carrasco & Costa de Oro students who wish to expand their practice on the test-taking abilities necessary for the Exam for the Certificate of Competency in English (ECCE) held by the University of Michigan and provide them with the opportunity to continue building their competency in some of the skill areas tested on such exam (Listening, Grammar, Vocabulary, and Reading). We do hope you can get much out of it!
