A Spanish teacher in Singapore

Hello, my name is Angela Nieto Jiménez, and I’ve just finished the final assignment of the Spanish as a Foreign Language teacher training course. I spent the first seven years of my professional life working in cinema, as a production technician and screenwriter. Three years ago, I had to move to Singapore for personal reasons. In this far-away corner of the world, I started to play with the idea of becoming a Spanish language teacher.

The Hemingway Spanish as a Foreign Language teacher training course: an entirely worthwhile effort

A few days ago, I completed the correspondence version of the Spanish as a Foreign Language teacher training course, and I would like to share my experience on this blog. During my time learning English in the UK, I had a great experience with language teaching.
I liked the participatory atmosphere in class, which I never found stressful. The teachers were able to get by without knowing even a word of Spanish, explaining to us the rules of grammar and vocabulary without any problems.

My experience as the professor of the Spanish as a Foreign Language teacher training course

Instituto Hemingway’s Spanish as a Foreign Language teacher training course is designed so that participants with no teaching experience whatsoever complete the course with a well-rounded knowledge of teaching theories and a good idea of the practical reality of the classroom. However, experienced teachers frequently sign up for the course as well, in order to update their knowledge and methods.

The graduates of our Spanish as a Foreign Language teacher training course set off on their adventures

The Spanish as a Foreign Language teacher training course is designed so that by the time they have completed it, participants will have a solid grounding in teaching theories and a good idea of the practice of teaching a Spanish class to foreigners. For those of the participants that already have some teaching experience, the course represents a good opportunity to update their ideas and revise certain concepts. For the majority however, the course represents their first foray into teaching. And they’ve loved it. However, since finishing the course, the graduates have taken very different routes.

Spanish or Castilian?

One recurring question among students is: what are the differences between Spanish and Castilian, the two terms used to describe what is, in reality, one language.

Advice from a Mexican Spanish teacher

Hi, my name is Izabel, I’m from Mexico City and I’m 32 years old. I graduated as a primary scool teacher in 2005 and for the last three years I have been teaching Spanish to adults in Denmark. I decided to study the Spanish as a Foreign Language teacher training course with the idea of learning new things and improving my style of teaching, and have come out of it smiling because thanks to this course, I have been able to make my classes more dynamic. Now, I try to apply the communicative method to my teaching, because I completely agree with what it proposes:that students aren`t experts of a foreign language until they can use it successfully to communicate and interact in any situation that might come up in their social context.

The socio-cultural side to teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language

The teaching-learning process of a language is comprised of various elements, such as grammar, linguistics and strategy. For now, I would like to focus on the socio-cultural side to it, because I believe that it is essential that foreign language teachers are very aware that learning a language goes far beyond simple linguistics.

In my class activities, I attempt not only to develop the four key skills, but also to instil a parallel cultural education in my students.

Opening your mind to new realities through teaching and learning languages

I think that all of the world’s languages are beautiful, and that each of them deserves to be taught, learned and respected.
Out of all the languages, I’ve only managed to learn three: Catalan, Spanish and English. The first two are part of me, the theird has been the result of many years of studying, various periods spent living in the UK and a great deal of reading. I love travelling, getting to know other cultures and meeting people from different places.
Languages broaden your thinking: they allow you to understand new realities and they let you into a new cultural universe – it’s so great to be able to read books in their original language and not to have to wait for them to be translated into your own language!

A niche in the job market for Spanish as a Foreign Language teachers.

The main reason for which I decided to undertake this course was the dream that I have always had of teaching in a university. Moreover, I have always loved languages: I speak English, French, German and Italian fluently.

All this gave me the idea of giving Spanish classes to the many foreign university students who come to our country every year. Getting to know other cultures, showing others how life goes on in my own country, exchanging experiences from different parts of the world, exchanging opinions and seeing the world through the eyes of others… all of these things have delighted me since I was a child.
