MY BELIEFS ABOUT MY WORLD

ENGLISH

We are now living in the fashion epoch of English. Latin is a clear example of how languages take over the world to create some kind of empire to direct people’s mind in a single direction. As Latin used to be the dominant language many centuries ago, we are now living in the dominant world of English. I believe this language has been dwindling its power, since we are at the beginning of a stage where Chinese or mandarin will be the next Powerful Language of the world. Being the current tool to empower education, English needs to be used in the way students learn to accept different cultures and value their own culture.

LEARNING

Regardless the place you are living in, the people you interact with or the education you can receive, learning has to do with personal interests. A waste of time is trying to impose some general knowledge to a person who is not interested in it. Taking this into account, learning is a process that needs to respect multiple intelligences and personal interests; otherwise, the learning process won’t succeed and the teaching entity will go into frustration. You learn what you want, you learn what you are interested in, and you learn what you really like.

TEACHING

Only those who have the power to change the world, will be the ones to have the power to teach. This process shows how important is for a person to open somebody else’s mind and build up solutions in a specific context. Teaching gives you the ability to master certain skills when facing problems, unexpected situations and unwanted outcomes. Teaching is the best way to understand and feel how people feel about the world, as well as being an incredible opportunity to become an action researcher to constantly improve your students and your personal life.

LANGUAGE TEACHING

Contextualizing this matter into our Country, to me Language Teaching one of the most outstanding strengths we have as members of this particular society. It is not about saying that the other sciences are easy to teach, but, from my humble perspective, entering a classroom before noon or after noon, and convince 40 souls with many personal needs that English is one tool to overcome bad situations in their lives, create a challenging environment where we as teachers need to become real heroes. Using a cross-curricular approach (As I prefer doing), language teaching an endless enjoyable world, since we can use many perspectives, many subjects and students' interests to convince them about our goal: Enlighten the path to enjoy English
