Speaking of the instructors in a language school in Spain:
"...combinan una gran variedad de MATERIALES EN DIVERSOS SOPORTES, utilizando una metodologìa..."
To me this is the kind of phrase that I think I understand until I try to dissect it. Is "soportes" "supporting roles", or "subjects" or something else? I suppose "materiales" must be "subjects" or "body of knowledge".
