Post 8: English Language Challenges

-

Well, my experience learning English at university in part it was good because I have learned some things like, vocabulary, grammatical, writing, etc. But in the other part it is bad for the pandemic and therefore the online classes that comes back a not very interactive methodology of study, which it is very important to learn English.

About the use of blogs, I like it because it serves to practice the writing and very interesting to know the opinions of my classmates about different things. However, it had one thing I didn't like about the blogs and that it is the contents, because the most themes of the post were concerning of the future and the things I would like to do in the future; I'd prefer to write about a series, books or movies I like.

Respect the aspects of my English I think I need to improve my pronunciation and speaking skills, that is because it is difficult for me the speaking and talking in English with other persons. So, for that I need to practice these parts talking with other people in English and watch videos completely talked in English. 

Finally, I use the English for many things in these days. For example: in the academic side, reading academic texts what are totally in English; with my hobbies reading comics there doesn't have translated in Spanish so for the love of art I read them in English; also when I play video games some of those are in English; and lastly watching videos or TikTok's there is completely in English or with English subtitle. In conclusion, I use the English habitually.

The apparition of the coronavirus, changed our lives in 180 grades. The pandemic made that all need to use masks to don't scatter the virus. Also, we saw obligated to maintain social distancing. And live in quarantine to reduce the contagious, when figures of contagion are serious. The quarantine brought many problems to the people. Like the loss of their  source of work, because of various enterprises dismissed many of theirs workers to mitigate the crisis. Or they couldn't keep working because their jobs aren't first necessity (like SME) Another problem was the implementation of online class. Doing the learning difficult  for students who don't have stable internet or students who don't have a  device or study place adequate to online classes . For the latter point and the confinement, the people was affected in their mental health. Increasing in the population the anxiety, stress and more mental disorders.

Post 7: Changes to My Study Program

Well, the changes I would like to do in the study program of my career, specifically in the curriculum —at least in the two first years— would be adding more subjects related with the physical anthropology mention. Because we have had so few subjects about that mention, so personally I don't know much about their field of study and work. Concerning the workload, I think it is a thing that need to be talked in each semester, because the situations and necessities changes every semester. So, I  would propose the idea that we (teachers and students) should talk every semester and find solutions together. But, they should commit to listening to the needs of the students and fulfilling the agreements. In the case of the length of studies, I think it is ok. About the faculty facilities I talk since ignorance, because I have never been in the faculty :( But I have listened from other students they have gone to the faculty, what in some classrooms when it rains the water passes. Also, I li

Post 6: Postgraduate Studies

The postgraduate course that I would like to take in the future, would be something with psychology. That is because I have always been interested about psychology, and also it is a discipline that can work together with my anthropological studies. Even if I can't take advantage of a psychology course with the anthropology, I would do it out of curiosity and to gain new knowledge in a different area of study. This postgraduate course I would like to do abroad, like an excuse to escape from Chile (I'm kidding hahaha). Actually, I would like to study outside of Chile; because I want to meet new people of different parts of the world. And also, to practice or learn a new language.  About the modality of study I really would not like to be online, with the experience gained during this time is enough for me and I have plenty. So, I prefer to study with a presence-based modality. If during the time when I take the course I find myself working, maybe I would like a part-time course;
