MY BELIEFS

ENGLISH

Nowadays, English has been widely spread  as globlal universal language which has a great impact on every social, cultural and professional aspects. Hence, it influences people’s lives, 
educational and employment prospects, and on social

stability as it is considered an increasing need and an objective of current education. The impact of globalisation and economic development has made English the language of opportunity and a vital means of improving an individual’s prospects for well-paid employment.

From this perspective, I think that English is an essential and  indispensable communication tool regarding the importance it has as a world-wide phenomenon. Besides, there is a varied range of educational, social and professional opportunities the English learning offers to learners to deal with the demands of the globalized world. As clearly stated in the General Education Law: “The capacity to use and understand a foreign language would become another specific goal from elementary to secondary school” (Ministerio de Educación Nacional, 1994, article 21, 22, 23).

Broadly speaking,speaking English has been defined as a strength as it only benefits to those who learn it, mainly as the access to a modern world characterized by technology, wider communication, economic power, scientific knowledge, and the like (Maurais, 2003) (as cited in Truscott,.2010)” .

It is an interactional process in which we  co construct knowledge and gain experience from the context and the experience of sharing and exchange ideas with other people.Sometimes, we can say that learning comes from a training process or formal education which are taken at any school or university in orde to acquire skills and improve their lives. Finally, we can say that it helps to shapeour behavior and personality.


TEACHING

Is a process that involves instruction and guidance in order to acquire knowledge and to get new skills.It implies the development of a vocation or disposition to empower people to construct theior knowledge.Besides,the implemetation of effective strategies and materials that contribute to motivate learners and to make the process easier and more enjoyable.


LANGUAGE TEACHING

It refers to a dynamic process in which it is combined aspects like instruction and interaction in order to help learners to construct new knowledge that can be instrumentalized for their lives.Also, it requires the interrelation of theory and practice with the purpose of evaluating the methodologies, strategies, tools, materials and methods that contribute to a better language learning process, indeed.
