As an English pedagogy undergraduate student, I wanted to work on
something related to my field. I dreamed all year long to get a position at a
travel agency guiding tourists throughout Valparaiso hills’. In the same way, I
also wished to get a job at the Pacific Terminal dock, where cruiser ships stopped
by with hundreds of travellers. I tried year after year, but I couldn’t make
it. On my final year at university, I end up translating some emails for a small
company. However, I always had the chance to teach people around me. I chose pedagogy because I enjoy seeing learners
learning. I didn’t try any other career as I didn’t aim to do anything else in
my life.
Wow, a sharp perspective on what to study. Was there really nothing else you wanted to do? It's great that you can enjoy what you do!
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of teaching Chilean Spanish to foreigners, many times it is difficult to understand Chileanisms haha, greetings teacher!
ReplyDeleteI think that the most undervalued profession in Chile is pedagogy, teachers are vital in people's lives because they are the ones who teach us everything. Your profession is the best!
ReplyDeleteThe Chilean Spanish is quite difficult, I'm sure the foreigners that come to Chile will feel missed with some of the terms that we use quotidianly. They will need help.
ReplyDeletelove the idea of working at the Pacific Terminal dock! I think you should try again, since that was always your dream
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger I also wanted to study pedagogy in English, however it was not for me. The teachers must have a lot of vocation and I thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of teaching Chilean Spanish is great. I have never heard it. I would really like to see the material you have prepared, where can I find it?
ReplyDeleteIt is a very good idea to teach Chilean Spanish. I think it is important for tourists to adapt to the language of the country they are traveling to.
ReplyDeleteNothing more difficult than Chilean Spanish, that's true, we have a lot of unique modysm and traslate it is complicated. But, from my point of view, nothing is impossible, i think you can do it :) !
ReplyDeleteWow! You always wanted you to put your English into practice in the most practical way and with native English speakers.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad to know that pedagogy was your only option. How great to have such a clear vocation.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience, undoubtedly opening a job field in English must be a complicated area, however the pedagogy is very beautiful, greetings!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea about Chilean Spanish! I'm glad you have your pedagogical vocation so clear, that's important in good teachers. :)
ReplyDeleteMy sister is teacher and I know how hard it is but at the same time it is rewarding to know that someone is learning what are you teaching them. I hope that one day you will be able to achieve your desire to work in a travel agency.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful thing to see someone love his profession with the passion that you have!!
