My complex relation with English

Hi, in this post I will talk about my experience studying English at university

I have studied the four levels of English, since I come from a very bad school. In my school the teaching of English was very poor, so I have a bad level of English.

I have not been able to take all the courses consecutively, so I have had several periods in which I have not practiced.

The truth is that having classes and especially speaking in English makes me very anxious, because I feel that it costs me much more than the rest.

In the previous courses I had teachers who forced me to speak in front of my classmates (many times) and the truth is that it was quite traumatizing. I'm not exaggerating.

It is unfortunate that the situations and personal contexts of the students are not considered at the time of their evaluation and teaching. That is one of my great criticisms of the program.

All the same, I have improved a lot from level 1. One of the techniques that has helped me a lot is to remove the subtitles to the series or movies. I understand a lot more than before. But I still have a hard time being calm when speaking and pronouncing the words well.

This is the last course left for me to graduate, so when I finish college I will surely take a course to perfect my English.

My ideal postgraduate

Hello, in this time I will talk about what I would like to do when leaving the race. In the beginning, I would like to work for several years in various media.

I would like to learn about digital, interactive and data processing tools. Alike, I would like to obtain knowledge on good management of social media, positioning of topics and creation of effective and modern diffusion strategies. I believe that the internet, technologies and journalism they have be very connected. According to what I have researched, this course lasts 5 months and its methodology is face-to-face classes during th...

More practical journalism

On this occasion I want to comment on the most important shortcomings of the curriculum of my career. In the Universidad de Chile, the curriculum of Journalism currently has many problems, in different areas. Although the curriculum was reformed two years ago, it has not been possible to give a complete solution to these failures. Specifically, I value that there are branches related to the theory of communication, since it forms as critical and integral professionals. However, many times these subjects have academic charges even higher than our specialized branches (right mind of journalism). What usually produces the demotivation of students. For example, many times we spend more time doing extensive essays or reading hundreds of pages of academic texts than developing journalistic products. Our career should be more practical and we should have more time to dedicate ourselves to reporting or research in the field. Also, I think there should be a mandatory course on jou...
