English language challenges - Blog 8

 

I have watched movies in english and listen music in english everyday since I was little, so I heard the language very often, it makes me happy to understand what are talking about in the movies and the lyrics in the songs, and the most important part is that I can understand english memes haha. I want to read more books in english too. It is a goal for the future, in that way I can buy the pretty edition in english of every book, so it’s a very powerful reason to continue learning more.

At the beginning of the major I didn't have a clue of what english is going to be at university, but the past year I had my first English class and it wasn’t bad, actually it was very interesting and I can practice a little bit more the language. 

This year the blog was a way to practice writing, which is my bad area haha but with the time I was able to improve my writing skills more. Besides that it was a lot of time invested, and sometimes I was just in time, but besides that it was fine. 

When the class ends I think that I’m going to do some exercises to improve my writing and have better oral communication, because I like to learn by myself, in that way I can learn more in the areas that I’m not so good at.

Changes to my study programme - Blog 7

 

I really like the programme of my major, I think it’s very eloquent and makes a lot of sense. It’s a programme of ten semesters, with differents subjetcts in everyone, for example, in first semester we have philosophy, psychology, social history of Chile, etc. They was more for introduce the major and I think that is a great form to start. So I don’ want to make any change in this topic. Maybe add a subjetc about forensic psychology, just for more datailing in that area.

We have to read a lot, but that isn’t a problem for me, and I think that we have a very good workload, maybe in face-to-face class I’m going to make a better idea of the workload, because I only know how it works online. Also, the lenght of studies in each subject is appropiate.

Because of the pandemic, we use the technology for everything, so I think that the university should give some course to the teachers to learn how to use al lof the programs that they need to make they classes in a better way.

The teaching methods are great too, the teachers send some capsule video with the contents of the class, and make like a session of questions synchronously, that is a very good method. Also they are very flexible with the test and essays, so a good comunication is a very importat thing to.

But in conclusion, I don’t want to change nothing haha I just want to go to the university, like in person, as soon as possible.
