Dear all,

This term we started a long trip, from the past to the present. We analysed and discussed key concepts such a culture, civilization, language and modernity. Not only that, we also looked into the relationship between the former and education and your understanding was put forward in the form of presentations and critical essays on your blogs.

I have to say that this was an extremely interesting teaching-learning experience to me. Most of you demonstrated great critical skills and engagement. You managed to make the connection between the course and your future as English teachers. And, most of all, you managed to grow an understanding of the importance of being reflective and critical professionals to improve. Being an English teacher in a country like Chile is a great responsibility, and I think you will do a very good job.

Before finishing, I invite all of you to write a critical assessment of the course in the form of entries on this blog.

Good luck to those who are going to the USA. Bring back all your learning and experience to share with us. Those who stay, take advantage of the summer to rest, have fun and read as much as you can....

Best wishes,

Claudia
