Resumen
Descripción
Costa Rica, as a developing country, has been seeking growth by attracting international investment. In the last few years, however, a myriad of international companies of multiple working disciplines have been installed in Costa Rica, and they need a labor force that is competent not only in general English, but also in the technical English required.

In response to the above limitation, the Universidad Nacional, in its program of MSLC4, is designing a branch of ESP.
