My reasons for undertaking the course for teachers of Spanish ELE
I decided to undertake this ELE course to keep on training as a teacher hoping to, once finished, have more chances to work abroad. Throughout this course you will work in detail with every theme until it will remain stuck in your mind where you will realise of the many things you've learnt and that it's not easy to teach your own language to others, even if you're native.
My experiences as a teacher have been with small children in schools or workshops, and the teaching world has a great variety of possibilities. I still haven't had the chance to have a full-time job, but I hope that with this course I can 'open another door' and expand my chances.
I think that teaching is a difficult job where you have to keep in mind lots of elements . Each teacher chooses what to highlight according to his/her way of teaching. Personally, I highlight, the importance of getting to know your students and connect with them so they can enjoy learning and that us as teachers, apart from teaching them, we learn from them too. As if, I appreciate the personal motivation as the engine of learning.
I would like to conclude my tribute with a quote by Federico Fellini, director and screenwriter of the italian cinema, who said 'a different languege means you see life from a different point of view'.
Thanks and goodbye everyone!
