- How you would like to study (distance learning, blended system, part-time course, etc)
- Any other relevant ideas
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.

ResponderEliminarLinguistics are very interesting. Words create realities!!!
I agree with oliveira the education must be to everyone, not only for the people how can pay.
ResponderEliminarAnd I think that is very important help other teach to be better.
I think the same, is a shame that the student should pay a lot for something so necessary.
ResponderEliminarLinguistics are very interesting and can help the teachers to teach better.
See you!!
we all agree with the bad and miserable of this aducational system! you are a great teacher, and the linguistic is a good tool for you and all teachers!
ResponderEliminarHi Victor!
ResponderEliminarIt's good to know that you are a teacher that not only are interested in one area of the languages, but also in the process to learning and the comunication.
I have a cuestion: does the Language consider the body expressions too?
See you soon!
Hello Victor!
ResponderEliminarI think that linguistic is a very interestering topic, because provides you informations for philosophical questions about some concepts. Good loock in your studys!
I hope that you can study linguistics in the future, it's sound so interensting and the world of the words are amazing!
ResponderEliminarHi Victor
ResponderEliminarIt is very interesting the subject of linguistics and all the different languages that exist, as well as the anthropological study (sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics) that you want to realize!
