Post Nº6: Postgraduate Studies


When I finished my bachelor’s degree in English Language Teaching at Universidad Metropolitana de Ciencias de la Educación, I decided to continue my studies immediately. This is why while I was carrying out my professional practicum and working on my thesis project, I enrolled myself to obtain a Diploma in Educational Psychology at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. This was in 2013 and the program lasted a year. In the beginning, I was really scared because I thought that the contents, assessments and final project was going to be a huge deal. And it was actually a big deal, but I was able to manage it very well and, once I ‘unblocked’ that challenge, I started to think about applying for a master’s degree. This is why I decided to apply for a master’s degree. My initial thought was to take it abroad, maybe in Canada, Australia or New Zealand, but due to some money issues, I finally decided to take it in Chile. I applied for the Master of Arts in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, at Universidad Alberto Hurtado and I was selected. I was really happy about this experience that was going to last 2 and a half years, so I felt excited about the learning experience but also, I felt a bit anxious about working and studying at the same time. It was a difficult process, I can’t deny that, but in the end, it was a rewarding experience. I received my diploma in 2016 and it helped me to opt for better job opportunities. Then, in 2017, I finished a Diploma in Higher Education Management at Universidad Santo Tomás. This one I took it because a won a scholarship at my previous job. What about today? Well, tomorrow I start a third Diploma in Assessment in Higher Education. What about the future? My next goal is to apply for a doctorate’s program and, this time, I’ll do whatever it takes to study it abroad.

Post Nº1: A Country I Would Like to Visit

Image
We all have a place that we would like to visit at least once in our lifetimes. For me, that place is Italy. There are many reasons why this country is one of my number one travel destinations. Its culture was born more than 2500 years ago. As a result, Italy is the home to prehistoric sites and ancient monuments. The language is also very beautiful, and the Italian food is without a doubt one of the best ones around the world. Furthermore, its capital Rome is so rich in art, culture, and architecture. It is well known for being one of the most wonderful cities in the world. When it comes to its attractions, the monuments that I would like to visit are the Colosseum and the Pantheon, a building that has been preserved for more than 2000 years. This monument shows the level of mastery in architecture by the ancient Romans.  Now it's your turn. What country would you like to visit?

Post Nº3: My Favorite TV Series

Image
My favorite TV series of all time is definitely Breaking Bad. It is available on Netflix and I have watched 3 times already and, every time I start watching it, I keep discovering new clues about the plot and new personality traits about the characters as well. Everything on this show is well executed, the acting, the direction of each episode and the dialogues. The usage of songs and background music is really interesting as well. Surely, it has a slow pace sometimes but, from the very first episode, you will get hooked. This TV series has the most emotionally charged, tragic and perfect finale and, if you watch it and you like it, it’s going to be hard to decide when to stop watching the episodes. It also shows how practical knowledge of Science is useful in ‘special’ ways, for instance, to become a millionaire or to escape from a tricky situation. Undoubtedly,  Heisenberg is one of my favorite fictional characters of all times. TASK Nº3 - My Favorite TV Series Instruc...

Post Nº7: My Favorite Technological Device

My favorite technological device is my laptop, I use it every day because is a really useful tool in my daily life as a teacher. With a good Internet connection, I can chat with friends from other countries, I can watch movies and TV series, I can download music or listen to it on streaming and I can watch or read the news around the world. One thing I like about my laptop is that I can use it as any other of my technological devices. For instance, I can see and edit the contents on my cellphone and my tablet from my laptop, without using any wires. In general, my laptop is one of the most important tools for my work since I use it to check and grade my students’ assignments, to plan and create my lessons, to check my students’ messages and to read their Blog posts, among others many other tasks. One of the software I use the most is Microsoft Office. The app I use on a daily basis is Microsoft PowerPoint because with it I prepare my lessons, but also it allows to ...
