Post 7 HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

Dear students,
Finally we have come to our last blog!
I am really enthusiastic today because we will write about how to protect our environment.
Are you concerned about how we take care of our environment?
I ride my bike and walk instead of using a car or using public transport. Also I recycle and reuse and reduce as much as I can.
What do you do?
Good luck with your writing today!

My expectations about this new term!

Today I will write about this unusual term. What makes it unusual? First of all the time of the year is usually vacation time. This is the first time I teach at the University of Chile feeling this hot weather, but I enjoy it because the country I come from has this same weather and even warmer!
Second, I am teaching English to education and sociology students and I love it because the process of learning a foreign language opens the students’ minds and makes them more cosmopolitan and, therefore, more open-minded and culturally aware.
I expect to motivate my students and give them tools to learn not only English but also general world knowledge that can contribute to their professional development. Besides, I expect to combine the use of technology with the learning strategies. This makes me more interactive as a teacher and more willing to share knowledge with my students. Learning is a wonderful never-ending process.
I am sure we will both enjoy this semester.
