As I mentioned before on the previous blog, I'm currently working on my master thesis, the name of the postgraduate program is “Magister en Educación con mención en Inglés como Idioma Extranjero”. It's kind of a long name for a master's degree, isn’t it???
As soon as I finished university I started to recieve job offers from schools and after teaching at 2 of them for almost a year I realized that it wasn't a rewarding experience because it was very hard and difficult to deal with adolescents who didn’t want to learn and saw the teacher as their enemy; actually that was why I considered the idea of working for a cruise company.
After some years and because I was making a career teaching in the area I realized that a master's degree was necessary to ensure my continuity.
My first option was a Master in Education at The University of Auckland in New Zealand but only if I won a CONYCIT scholarship. Unfortunately, I couldn't apply in the end and in order not to lose more time I decided to study it here in Chile at Universidad Central.
I don't regret that decision because it was a good opportunity to refresh some knowledge, learn some other and keep up with current teaching and learning methods and approaches. Besides, nowadays it's almost mandatory to have all competences certified.
Regarding the future I’d like to study a "Diplomado en Estrategias Pedagógicas en Fonética Inglesa" at Universidad Santo Tomás but it's a classroom training program in IQUIQUE!!! Although I have family there who would gladly receive me, travelling back and forth an entire semester it's something to meditate on most definitely!!!

ResponderEliminarI think that it's good to specialize in what you like to do, because you can do more things with the knowledge. I hope you can finish your current master thesis soon.
ResponderEliminarYou should try to apply to The University of Auckland, I had heard that the educations programs in New Zealand are great. Greetings!!!
