Hi everyone :)
I hope you are doing well. Today we are going to talk about a postgraduate course that you would consider taking in the future.
Well, in my case, I already have done a postgraduate studies. I studied Latin American Literature and finished in from 2010 to 2014 at Eckerd College in the State of Florida.
In 2015, I took a postgraduate course called CELTA - (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) so I could become an English Teacher. I studied in the British-Chilean Institute of Culture in Santa Lucía. I studied part-time: I worked in the University of Diego Portales during the day and studied at night.
I'm happy that I did the course and I learned a lot in such a short period since the course was an intensive course that lasted from March to June.
Sometimes I consider taking a Master's course, something in Caribbean Literature since I really love that type of literature. I'm sure many of you realized since I use a lot of Caribbean Literature in our classes.
But then I think about it and I don't think is necessary to take the course because I can always study literature in my free time. In any case, I think I learn more in "the practice" when I use literature in my English classes so students learn how to read well in English.
My favorite writers from the Caribbean are Merle Collins, Christian Campbell, Jamaica Kincaid, Junot Díaz and Edwidge Danticat. Díaz and Danticat I particularly like because I can relate to them since they were both born in Latin American, but lived all their life in the United States just like me. I think that they are good writers and are committed to the people's struggle. I also like that they are both very anti-imperialist.
I hope you enjoyed reading :)
Now it's your turn
Include:
- Reasons to do the course
- Subject(s) you would like to study
- Where you would like to study (Chile or abroad)
- How you would like to study (distance learning, blended system, part-time course, etc)
- Any other relevant ideas
- Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts + a comment on your teacher's post.
