Introducing myself

 

My full name is Yaneli Sofia Miranda Torres. I am a student of licenciatura en idiomas con especialidad en la enseñanza del Inglés  of the Don Bosco University of El Salvador. I decided to study this career because of two relevant reasons. First, I consider that learning another language is something very important especially if it is English which the most spoken language around the world. Second, I really love teaching   because I am very aware about the importance of it in order to help our society to become better, so I am expecting to be an English teacher who is going to facilitate the students’ learning of English and as a consequent motivate them to learn a second language.

Since I started to study this career, I have been doing my best effort in order to learn English which is not as easy as I thought it was going to be because through all the experiences and situations that I have had to face during my English learning process, I have realized that learning another language needs a big effort from the student.  Moreover, learning how to teach a language to others is not “a piece of cake” because after I have taken subjects such as Psychopedagogy and Didactics, I have noticed that a teacher must be very careful when he or she is deciding the teaching method for a class, designing the correct materials for the class, and elaborating the efficient assessments for the students.  Thus, Nowadays that I am taking Teaching Practicum I, I can say that it is not going to be easy to teach English to children. However, I know that with God’s help and doing my best, I can achieve my goal which is learn a lot about how to teach efficiently to children through the practice.

Finally, I would like to share my expectations as a future English teacher. Firstly, I want to be a teacher who is going to perform the role of a facilitator. Secondly, I am going to motivate students to learn a second language by making them understand about the importance of it. Lastly,  I am going to do my best during my classes in order to help to improve the education of our country.
