As an English pedagogy undergraduate student, I wanted to work on
something related to my field. I dreamed all year long to get a position at a
travel agency guiding tourists throughout Valparaiso hills’. In the same way, I
also wished to get a job at the Pacific Terminal dock, where cruiser ships stopped
by with hundreds of travellers. I tried year after year, but I couldn’t make
it. On my final year at university, I end up translating some emails for a small
company. However, I always had the chance to teach people around me. I chose pedagogy because I enjoy seeing learners
learning. I didn’t try any other career as I didn’t aim to do anything else in
my life.
My experience at university was good. I learned a lot of new things and
met many interesting professors and classmates. Time to time a have contact
with some of my former friends and have a meeting all together!
Today I am teaching some Chilean Spanish and Spanish to foreigners
online. I am also preparing some learning materials for people interested in the way we use
the language hereabouts.

ReplyDeleteHello Professor!!! It's great to read what you write, pedagogy is beautiful, I definitely share the thought. It also happens to me that I do not intend to do anything else, I can´t think of myself in another area, at least in the long term. I have a question, are those learning materials already available??? Thank you for your words.

Hi teacher.
ReplyDeleteWow, Pedagogy seems to be a really fun career. I’m glad to hear that you enjoy teaching, I think that is really admirable, especially in these times. I hope your online classes go very well. I can imagine that it's really a new experience teaching in this way. I can only imagine that teaching in this context must be creatively challenging.
hello teacher, speaking chileno looks very fun, a guy holding a empanada in one hand, in the other a wine jug and a condor with natty eyes hehehehe. makes me think in condorito, the most funable bird in the country. personally, I like the huemul better. it's very noble and handsome. I wish the pudu were a national animal too.
ReplyDeleteAN EMPANADA* also I say funable in a funa way, chilean word to describe when you scrape somebody socially, because he/she/they did you some bad.... tot
