LEVEL 4 / POST 9 : CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME
Dear students,
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.
That IS something, should be more training specially if you are going to become a teacher D:.. but I think that copying to your favorite teacher is a start xD
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was in high school for a presentation I had to give a class and I did not find a better way to do it than imitating the teacher, I got a 7

ReplyDeleteI consider what you say to be super important and useful. Master's students should do a semester abroad! They say that the best way to practice is to go to another country to do it
I find that the subject of teaching is very important, sometimes university professors do not have pedagogical resources to teach
