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 the language, not only knowing how to speak, but also how languages are learnt and how different contexts affect different languages. In other words, it could be said like this:
"Each human language is a complex of knowledge and abilities enabling 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.

ResponderEliminarLinguistic sounds so bored to me!!!, but I think that if can helps you to be a best teacher is good, actually you aren't (only two words in 3 months!!) hahaha I'm kidding, you are an excelent teacher so don't have sence study that, is better if you save the money to your plants.

ResponderEliminarAnyways... I think it's more fun that you stay with your cactus haha
It's sad your story with CAE, it's very common in the students. I hope that in the future you will study Linguistics
