EXAMPLE:
I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my future job be?". And here I am!!
I wanted to have a fun, light, easy going and not too hard to do job, but always wanted to be with people. Also, I tended to consider that from all the many areas I could work in, I  wanted something neither too-much outdoors nor indoors, furthermore I wanted something that would produce some kind of social change, a good important and deep change.
In other matters, I wanted to travel, to see the world, to meet strange people, well... strange meaning, different than me and my friends and family. With teaching languages, I have been able to do all the former, which leads me to think it was the right choice.
I tried working in an office once, in a job that was not as stressful as a teacher's job but after a year, and after missing the classrooms a lot, I decided to go back to stressful, challenging but rewarding teaching.
Nowadays, I am thinking on taking up on PHD studies in the field of Applied Linguistics, I would like to do it either in the Netherlands, Switzerland and/or England.
I would like to do it in those countries, well, in the two first ones because they have a long history of successful multilingualism and because they are definitely good at languages. England on the other hand, would be my last choice, and this is because of a fact that gave birth to a joke, that is, - and please, no offense-, but the joke says: "how do you call a person who speaks only one language? […] you call them British"...LOL

    I really hope you take up a new study. Applied Lingusitics must be a very complex thing. It's very admirable to want a social change!

Post 10 (12-12): English Language Challenges

LAST BLOG SESSION:English Language  Challenges   > What comments can you make about your experience learning English at university?     What about the use of blogs? > What aspects of your English need to be improved and how do you plan to do this? > Outside the English class, how much are you using English these days? What for?   - Wordcount: 260 - Make comments on 3 of your partners' posts and also on your teachers'. ____________________________________________________________ L earning languages seriously and taking responsibility for the process is always something intense and at times, it can get to be a little discouraging or even, one may feel one's not making big progress. All those are fears, I believe, because just by having the great conviction that one's going to learn and working on it eagerly, will prove that with a little bit of patience a human person can learn anything she or he wants to. The essential foundational...

Post 9 (05-12) Changing the Study Programme

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME Write about some changes that could be made to your study programme (career) Among others, think about: > The curriculum (the subjects you have to study) > Workload and length of studies > Faculty facilities (buildings and infrastructure) > Use of technology > Teaching methods - Word Count: 250 - Leave comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts and on your teacher's as well. __________________________________________________________________________ There are many things I would have changed from my study programme back when I was studying English Linguistics, and even though I think all the things I studied have been of great use all these years, I believe there are even more issues and topics I would have liked to revise. First thing, I had several History courses, all of them were related to (obviously) Anglo-Saxon History and only one about national reality, I would have liked to study more from the connection...
