Our country
Colombia is getting ready this plan of “Colombia very well” that gives to
teachers a very important character in the success of this plan. As teachers we
have to care about improving our English in the highest level we can, because
this plan of “Colombia very well” is stand by the sanction of the law of bilingualism
(law 1651 of 2013) and the compromise of a stronger development of the second
language competences.
To fulfill this
program would be invest $1.3 billion for 10 years since now, and all the money
will be for elementary school, high school and workforce.
The plan
wants that almost in all Colombia, students and workers have a B1 in English,
and that is the level that a lot of teachers have because they have not been
improving their English, that’s why the future teachers have to be well prepared
and have to invest more in their English learning if they want that plan going
on right.
That is not
only a job for government because English depends also on the time that we
invest on it, studying it and looking for more strategies to teach, so it’s
important that since now, as students we start looking for more strategies to
learn and more time to invest in our English, at least 2 hours a day.
As future
teachers, let me ask you some questions:
1. How much time do you invest in your English
learning?
2. What strategies do you have to
study?
3. How would you help to make this plan
“Colombia very well” to come true?
Hi again,
ResponderEliminar1.I think that its about making of it a lifestyle, being able to make it present in every sense of your life, and so you can get over the language and also the culture..
2. I use to speak a lot, listen to music and read books, articles, newspapers, comments, and also chatting on english.
3. Doing a hard word, looking forward to find the way to become every single student interested on language, helping them to notice it is not hard when you have the will to work
1- I cant give you a number, but english is in almost everything in my life
ResponderEliminar2-Read, speak, play games in english
3- Taking it serious
1. I practice my english every day for two hours and a half. It is not enough but it is the time I have left for study my english.
ResponderEliminar2. I practice by reading a lot and by listening to music and tv programs I like.
3. I would hel people find the interest in the study of a language that will bring them opportunities, and also to open their culture to others.
Hello there! How are you doing?
ResponderEliminar1. I practice my English everyday, not as a structured class, but talking to myself about anything. I also practice it specially on weekends, when I have to comment every post. hahaha
2. I only start to speak to myself about whatever topic that comes to my mind. That is a spectacular strategy.
3. I would help government taking this seriously, I mean, this program is only for the main cities, no more. The rest of municipalities know about this when they have to do the national tests.
