Courses for Spanish teachers: My experience with that final memory

I`m not totaly sure how to start this review...it`s that in my case the process of realisation of that final memory was slow and costly.

When I finished the ELE course, nearly two years from now, I was unemployed. At that moment it seemed to be a great opportunity for me to magnify my knowledge and so manify my opportunities in the field of teaching. After the first two moths of beginning and eagerly gaining knowledge I was given a substitution job for nearly a year. I turned towards education, more clearly, I am a master of nursery-school teaching in Catalunya. During this time I left the course apart and soent all my time on my new employment.

The problem occured when the substitution job ended, since than i`ve been standing still and I didn`t find a reason to finish the course. my priority was finding work. So well, I switshed that to august 2013, the moment, in which I finally decided to spent all of my time on finishing that project.
The truth is, the realization of this plan hasn`t been exactly the way I expected it to be. I thought, since I already had done a master degree and since I was already used to make programms, it would be easier for me. But I was wrong. The truth is that it cost me a lot to discover the right way to make thoses, although, in the end, I found it. I`m not yet totally sure of the result of that teaching method...but I hope it will be satisfying.

Getting back to work I have been thinking and I came to a conclusion. I think maybe I shouldn`t have dallyed that much finishing the couse because taht is way I removed too far from the material and it cost me more to get back to it. For the students who let that course drop, for which motives ever, I recomment you to not reach the extrem I reached. I should explain myself, I dallyed that much with getting back to doing the course that when I actually was about to finish it, I felt lost, dismotivaded, uncreative...I felt like I didn´t know how to face this final project. I felt frustraded.

After all, even though the experience turned out to not be good for me, I happy I realized it, because I havn´t known this version of learning by real comunicative situations in all its substance. Even more, I came to like teaching during that course and it gave me ideas for my future lessons with children, or why not my future ELE courses.
Thank you Alfredo!
