LEVEL 4 / POST 9 (WEEK 12): CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME
Dear students,
12th week, and this time it’s our ninth blog session, in which you will write about some changes that you could be made to your study program (carreer)
Among others, think about:
> The curriculum (the subjects you have to study)
> Workload and length of studies
> Faculty facilities (buildings and infrastructure)
> Use of technology
> Teaching methods
IMPORTANT:
Remember! After your writing activity you must read and leave comments on my blog and on 3 of your classmates' posts.
This is a 250 words post (as a minimum).
When I was an English teaching training student at university, I never questioned the study programme of my career, but now, after years of experience, I have thought about all the things that could have been better.
To begin with, I think that there should be more training in real classrooms. The professional practice should be done after one has lived what being a teacher means and that can only be achieved by experiencing the teaching environment.
Moreover, professors teach excellent methods to improve the teaching but they seldom use them. The best way to teach is by being an example. I would also like that all the English teaching training students had the chance to do one term abroad, so that they can improve their language skills and what’s more important acquire and understand the English culture, because a language is more than using different words to say something.
Probably that's a big problem in all careers, the "real thing". learning to do is the first step, but they never teach us the rest.
ReplyDeleteI think is a great idea teach about English culture! bc language is a reflection of the culture, so you can learn more about a language if you know about people how speak it

ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I have had teachers that makes the subject so enjoyable but others that teach in a more boring way, with some teachers I wanted to study and with the others I didn't.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I think we should all study abroad at least once, to have diverse experiences
ReplyDeleteI thik that it is normal or common not question the program, but yess I think you are right saying that the best way to teach is by being an example.
ReplyDeleteMost of my family are teachers, whether of mathematics or some other subject, they also believe that the best way to learn is to be in a real classroom, as it is no use having the theory without the practice.
ReplyDeleteI think that being a teacher not is an easy task, there must much of discipline and vocation. Not everyone is made for it! therefore, the faster the experience of be a teacher is known, the better.
ReplyDeleteHi! I agree. The best way to learn is practicing. Our educational system need to improve this.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, it is difficult to put theoretical content into practice, I think it is essential to learn from the place where you will work in the future.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the study program of universities is so bad, what a professor in process needs most is to have practical skills.
ReplyDeleteI think that the study program in university must been constantly update and improve, so at the same time have a constant check-up of teachers.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right. Is necessary to teach more speaking and writing in English class with the constant training. Because, I could to train my ear for to undertand what my partners said, also to train my quick thinking to answer.
