Blog 3: TV Series

 

Hi everyone! Today we are talking about TV series!

Well, yesterday I finished watching the series: The Snitch Cartel Origins (El cartel de los sapos: el origen) on Netflix. It's a Colombian series based on a book by Andrés López and it's about the two brothers, Leonardo and Emanuel Villegas Ulloa, that founded the Cali Cartel. It has 60 episodes! I really liked it because it starts in the 1950s and ends in the 1990s, showing all the phases of the two brothers. It starts out very much like a telenovela and then becomes more like Narcos towards the end. This series is found on Netflix.

I watch series on Netflix and Disney Plus. I used to watch pirated series but they had too many pop-up adds and took forever to load, so I decided to watch series the legal way. 

Thanks to Disney Plus I have been able to watch my favorite shows from when I was kid such as Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place, and Jessie.

Shows that I have watched more than once on Netflix are Elite, Rick and Morty, and The Umbrella Academy. They're just too good to watch only once.

I would recommend everyone to watch "Atypical," on Netflix. It's a cute show about a young teenager who is Autistic and shows his life. You can watch in English with English subtitles to practice.

Finally, I am looking forward to the last season of "La casa de papel" (Money Heist, in English), but it comes out on December 3rd.

    Hello!
    Atypical is a wonderful series, I've seen it multiple times and it always makes me cry. It's beautiful and everyone should definitely watch it because it not only shows how difficult it can be to face the challenges of adolescence and independence for a person with autism, but also how complicated it is for everyone who accompany them.

    Hello teacher.
    The truth is that they have said that Disney Plus is a very good platform, I hope one day to see what content it has. Also the Rick and Morty series is great

    Hi! Sometimes I still use illegal platforms (to watch series or movies not available on Netflix), but I end up hating them because of pop-up ads. They are so annoying!
    On the other hand, I share your recommendation, Atypical is a great series <3

    Hello teacher!
    I liked the recommendation he made of "Atypical", although I have already seen it about 2 times, I also feel that it is a good series to recommend because I feel that it is a comical and exciting series in some scenes.

    Hi teacher, so you're a fan of rick and morty, it's a great show, specially the chapter about "pickle rick", simply a masterpiece.

    One of the things I like most about Rick and Morty is that every time I watch an episode again, I find different things. It is a very good series, very irreverent!

Blog 7: Changes to my study program

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

 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...
