Course for Spanish as a Foreign Language teachers
November 30, 2014

Teacher of Spanish and English as a second language: points in common


The truth is that I don´t have that much experience as a teacher of Spanish as a Foreign Language.  In 2013 I finished my Degree in Primary Education with specialization in foreign languages and all of my internships have been based on teaching English to children of between 6 and 12 years of age. However, these internships have made me realise how many aspects there are common between the teaching of any language, and therefore, they have really helped me to carry out this course, since there were some aspects that I already knew.

The main thing which motivated me to do this course, however,
was the opportunity that I had last year to work with an Arabic pupil
who had recently arrived in Bilbao and who scarcely knew any Spanish. I
only worked with him for three months, but it was very gratifying to see
how was able to progress and improve in such as short amount of time. I
must admit that the child was 11 years old and that at this age the
ability to learn is much greater than that of an adult, but, in any case
it was a very gratifying experience which made me think about working
with foreigners in the future. I have always liked working in move
between international environments; in fact, I have spent more than a
summer in Ireland and during my degree, I had the opportunity to go to
London as an Erasmus student, which allowed me to be in contact with a
more multicultural educational reality than the one we have here, even
though it is changing more and more.   This is true to such an extent
that over the next two years, I am going to study a Master´s double
degree program that is intimately linked to this course: Teaching
English as a Foreign Language and Teaching Spanish as a Foreign
Language.
