HI, well, I´m going to tell you a little bit about my semester and my expectations.

At the moment, I am doing many things. I am teaching English for special purposes (ESP) at Alberto Hurtado University. I teach English to students of Business Administration, Law, Education and Librarianship, besides you at UChile.

It is very challenging because each group of people is different and constitutes a different world! I also like it because I have to be constantly adapting strategies and activities to engage students and help them learn. That´s my final expectation, really, that everybody learns, improves his English and has a nice time in class.

Apart from that, I´m planning to start a course on line on developing writing skills in teaching in the near future because I think writing is a good way to learn and improve  students´  English. In fact, that´s why we use blogs in class!

I expect this semester to be a successful  and happy one, And I hope you enjoy it, too.     

Good luck!

  1. Hello, I am very interested in your posting on your blog, because usually I have not spent much about my learning English and I am very pleased to have a teacher like you who intend to make their students learn. With respect to my practice of English, I have to say that I have assumed the condition of wanting to learn.

    Greetings!
