BELIEFS

  • ENGLISH
Since we are not an English-speaking country, this language has been highlighted as one the most important and used language in the world. That is, because of the development of transportation, businesses, turism and education, more and more people feel the necessity of communicating in this foreign language.
From my perspective as an English teacher, this language has given me the opportunity to travel abroad, to meet wonderful people and to grow as a person and as a professional.
  • LEARNING
When we think of learning people associate it with schools, institutes and/or universities. Learning starts from birth and continues throughout the life. You can learn from different situations, experiences, people; not only from teachers. Moreover, we learn in different ways and at our own pace depending on many factors, for instance, our multiple intelligences, insterests, learning styles, etc.
  • TEACHING
Teaching is a demanding task. it is very related to learning. As I suggested before, you can teach not only in a school, you teach values, concepts and experiences to people in different situations. As a profession, it was designed to certain types of people. There are thousands of teachers, but not all of them teach. It requires some special characteristics like creativity, resourcefulness, patience, responsibility, commitment and sensibility among others.
  • LANGUAGE TEACHING
Language teaching is an "excuse" to inmerse our students into the world. Through this, you can teach culture, math, history, geography, technology, sports, and many other things in a creative way. I can firmly state this is one of the fields in education in which you can select many ways to engage your students. Nevertheless, the results of this teaching and learning process are often long term. That is, because learners need time to develop their skills similarly as they acquired their native language.

    I totally agree with you in the fact that English is one of the most important languages around the world. I also think this language has provided us with opportunities to explore new cultures, beliefs, customs, along with others.
    Nice reflection!
