Level 3 - Post 4 (week 6) THEMED POST N° 1: My Favourite are in my Profession.
My area of
study is very broad and its scope goes from the very philosophical standpoints
of what language is, going through social and cultural issues and expanding up
neuro-science, and this is because in teaching, nearly all dimensions of humanity
are involved and playing together.
Having said
so, and given that I have to select one area of interest, I would choose the
area of Applied Linguistics which is the branch of linguistics concerned with
practical applications of language studies, for example language teaching,
translation, and speech therapy. This branch of linguistics is the practical
side of language. As its name suggests, it applies knowledge about language to
real-world issues. While it can encompass language teaching overall, it also
encourages the teacher to ask questions such as "How can I best connect
this language lesson with my students' everyday needs?" and "What are
some of the social issues my students face that could affect their
learning?"
I believe
that the knowledge of Applied Linguistics in my profession is tremendously
important because the Teaching of English as a second/foreign language requires
a good perception of at least two languages: L1 and L2 if one wants to contrast
the characteristics of the two languages, which I believe it to be highly
essential in order to visualize the pedagogic extent of one’s teaching in a
situation where the target learners face different problems while learning.
If I didn’t
know about linguistic theories and about Applied Linguistics as well, I
wouldn’t be able to even realize if my
students are learning or not, and to minimize or remove the learning problems
of the learners I oversee. Those are few
of the reasons why the aforementioned area of studies is my favourite area of
my profession.
Very interesting area you choose! I Think that being a teacher is very difficult and require a lot of work and study. There you have to see how can you do better so everyone can understand you. I can't do that. I barely understand myself hahaha
ResponderBorrarHave a good day
see you in class
Hi, I admire your patience. I haven't this, I don't know, the tolerancy is not my best skill. In fact, be teacher is a profession very hard. You must have very concentration, vocation and especially patience. Teach linguistic? Wow repeat you, I admire you.
ResponderBorrarI see you later.
Wow, I think that must be very difficult choice a favorite area in your profession. I really admire to people who teach, is a very hard thing to do to me, I don't have patience. Even is more hard if we talk about lenguages, other thing that is tricky to me.
ResponderBorrarWell, I hope you are ok.
See you, bye :)!
I think like journalism, English pedagogy has similar ingredients at the time of thinking about all the sciences included in it, for example, like biology when we think about communication is applied, or psychology to know how people will receive the information.
ResponderBorrarGreetings!
Hi teacher!
ResponderBorrarI find your area of interest very important, because good learning depends in part on how the teacher designs his classes, especially when is a foreign language.
See you in class
