Hello everyone! In this post I’m going to talk about my experience learning english at university and some other things. My first experience learning English in college was in science faculty when I was pursuing another degree. These courses were very similar to the English classes at school, we worked with a book that we had to complete throughout the semester and it was very focused on English gramar, a bit with a dynamic of learning by repetition. Since the course was designed for “hard science” careers, it was much more focused on a scientific language. The teacher who made these subjects (there were two, English 1 and 2) is an excellent teacher and she taught us things about pronunciation and how certain words were understood depending on the context. Regarding my current experience, I have liked much more this dynamic in wich we learn English by “doing”, that is, listening to the teachers speak in English and giving instructions in the language, having to speak English and also...

Hello everyone! In this post I’m going to talk about some thinghs that I think that could change in my study programme and in the faculty where I study. Although it seems to me that the first year manages to make an introduction to the world of social sciences, I found it difficult to link the contents to psychology in some courses until much later in the career. In that sense, I think that in the first semesters there could be subjetcs that introduce the world of psychology that, in addition to allowing an entrance to the subject that gives meaning to the other courses from the beginning, teaches us things that are often assumed that we know but not really. In these subjects, certain basic notions could be explained that allow us to give an idea of ​​general concepts, important names to know and that tell us a little about the many areas of application of the career (since we learn more about this in the third year and it could be earlier). It seems to me that the degree could last on...

 Hello everyone! In this post I'm going to talk about postgraduate studies. One of the things I like the most is learning and I love that there are always new things to know. For this reason I would like to continue studying after finishing my degree. I would like to deepen my studies in psychology, learning more about specializations such as educational psychology and clinical psychology. In addition to that, I would very much like to do courses that have to do with pedagogy and the development and learning processes. I have also thought about the possibility of finishing my career as a math and physics teacher. I really like everything that has to do with the educational area and I am very interested in learning about pedagogical topics. I have not thought if I would prefer to study here in Chile or in some other country, I think that decision would be more dependent on what I want to learn and how I want to learn it. If there is a course that interests me, I would seek to be abl...

Hello everyone! In this post I’m going to talk about my future job (or at least the one that I would like to have). I have been interested in the world of pedagogy and education for a long time. At the same time, I am fascinated by everything related to psychology. This is why my dream job is one that can combine these two aspects and I think that what best suits this is working in a school as a psychologist. I imagine that in this job I will interact with students, their families and teachers, that in it I will be able to contribute to the well-being of students and to generate educational practices that promote a complete and friendly learning Beyond this job, in general I think I would like to work indoors, but not in an office, I like to be in contact with other people. I would not like a job where you have to travel a lot because I like to separate things: on the one hand, having a fixed space to develop my work and, on the other, what has to do with traveling and knowing other pl...
