Here's my sample post for this topic:
I have to start by saying that for me to study a new career or to deepen my knowledge in English teaching, a lot of changes would have to occur, as I'm not willing to get a ton of debt to specialize again. I studied my career with CAE and I really didn't know what it was when I was 18. So now, ten years later, I'd consider it twice before signing a contract with a bank that will profit from student loans.
Now, if the conditions were right, I'd probably study something related to Linguistics. Linguistics is the science that studies language, not only knowing how to speak, but also how languages are learnt and how different contexts can affect different languages. In other words, it could be said like this:
"Each human language is a complex set of abilities and knowledge that enables speakers of the language to communicate with each other, to express ideas, hypotheses, emotions, desires, and all the other things that need expressing. Linguistics is the study of these knowledge systems in all their aspects: how is such a knowledge system structured, how is it acquired, how is it used in the production and comprehension of messages, how does it change over time?"
Understanding these factors can really help a teacher become more able to teach a wide varierty of students and also, in my opinion, knowing about how languages work, can reveal some of the patterns that can be found in human behavior.
The aspects of Linguistics in which I'm more interested in are Sociolinguistics and Psycholinguistics.
Now it's your turn:

I think the socio and pshycolinguistics are so interesting topics to specialize. I could note you are so passional about cactus and also in english because the classes are really motivated
ResponderEliminarIt's so true that languages are not just the way we speak. It's a whole new world when you start to study or learn about it. For example, my big sister lives in NY and just now she began studying bilingual-bicultural special education and we have talk the relevance of those factors in the indevidual development and for a society. Interesting!
ResponderEliminarWow ! so interesting, I love the languages and the differences between each society for do it !
ResponderEliminarI think the dance it's a way of communication too
Yeah I totally understand, I'm studying with CAE too and I think that sucks because with the same money I could afford a life for a year or more, and when you pay the debt is so much more than the cost of the career. The education must be a right.
ResponderEliminarEducation should be free of charge for all!!
ResponderEliminarI understand, maybe i not had gratuity i don't would be study, less a artistic carrer.
ResponderEliminari hope someday you can do it. It´s enraging that we have to get into debt to study in Chile.
ResponderEliminarALL THE REASON, THE CAE CONSUMES LIFE.THAT'S WHY MY FAMILY WE WANT TO PAY NOW.
ResponderEliminarI think that this is related with your profession. You can do it!
ResponderEliminarLinguistics is a interesting discipline, also I think you have the vocation necessary
ResponderEliminarWith this blog I remeber that in Chile the education is difficult for the students and their families, I hate the CAE :C
ResponderEliminarAppreciating and understanding the meaning of words is something we should all study, in this way there would be better communication between people!
ResponderEliminarInteresting what you would like to study. I would like to know how the first words were formed, the first languages.
ResponderEliminarI am very sorry that you had to study with CAE, that is one of the most nefarious things in Chilean education. But I happy for you and your news interests
