Blog 2: The best vacation ever/ the best concert ever

 Hi everyone! Today we are talking about either the best concert ever or the best vacation ever!  

For this post, I chose to talk about the best vacation ever which was my last vacation: I went to the USA after a year and a half of not traveling because of the pandemic. I usually would travel once a year to the USA since my maternal family is from there (Boston area and New York City). 

So since I hadn't gone in a while I was actually excited about going to see everyone even though it was a short trip of about 2 weeks and after in Chile it was 10 days of isolated quarantine. 

It was very fun seeing my family and especially my mom. In fact, my mom and I got matching piercings! It was so funny and random because she was like "hey, wanna get our ears pierced?" And I was like "yeah, ok!" So we went to Claire's, a teen-orientated jewelry shop, and all the teenager girls loved that a 65 year old woman and her 29 year old son were getting matching piercings! 

In New York City, I spent most of my time with my cousins and my grandmother who we call Gaga (my brother was the first grandchild and couldn't say "grandma" or "abuela" so he said Gaga and she said "that's me"). It was so much fun because we went out to dinner various times and drank Bubble Tea almost everyday, well, my cousins, not my grandma. I learned a lot of new American slang since I hadn't been there for a while.


Here is a picture of me near the Hudson River that divides the states of New York and New Jersey

Blog 7: Changes to my study program

Imagen
Hi everyone,  I hope you are all well. This is our second to last blog! Today you are going to write about changes that could be made in your career like the new building, curriculum change, new teaching methods, etc. Since I don't study anymore I will list some changes that could be made in the English Program are like adding English Level 5 and 6. Plus we could add Film and Literature Classes in English. I think it would be interesting and fun to have this type of courses since it could improve students' learning of English. I also think it would be nice to have summer classes and workshops to help students that need more practice. I think this would improve Chile's English level in general, but we also need to have better working conditions for teachers! Now it's your turn: Write about some changes that could be made to your study program (career) Among others, think about: > The curriculum (the subjects you have to study) > Workload and length of studies > ...

Blog 8: English Language Challenges

Imagen
 Hi all!! Today is your last blog post! Congratulations you made it hahaha! So today you are going to talk about your experience learning English at university and the use of blogs. Please, please be honest so we can know how to improve as teachers and as an English Program. During the course, I tried to promote the use of English 100% of the time (even though many of you still refuse <_<) and I also made sure to practice the four skills: listening, writing, reading, and speaking.  Regarding the content of the class, as you noticed, we always saw things that had important social or political content. This is because for me it is important to show students a different reality and hopefully so you can realize that changing reality is not only possible, but necessary. We read various writers like Edwidge Danticat, Christian Campbell, Jamaica Kincaid,  and Michelle Cliff. I hope you enjoyed reading them. An important point I want to make is that English is not just USA ...

Blog 4: Post-Graduate Studies

Hi everyone, Hope all is well. Today we are going to talk about postgraduate studies :) Well, in my case, I already have done a postgraduate studies. I studied Latin American Literature and finished in from 2010 to 2014 at Eckerd College in the State of Florida. In 2015, I took a postgraduate course called CELTA - (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) so I could become an English Teacher. I studied in the British-Chilean Institute of Culture in Santa Lucía. I studied part-time: I worked in the University of Diego Portales during the day and studied at night. I'm happy that I did the course and I learned a lot in such a short period since the course was an intensive course that lasted from March to June. Sometimes I consider taking a Master's course, something in Caribbean Literature since I really love that type of literature. I'm sure many of you realized since I use a lot of Caribbean Literature in our classes. But then I think about it and I do...
