For the time being I am a bit overwhelmed with projects so I do not see any chance of coming back to uni to pursue a postgraduate degree, or at least yet. However, in the future I would like to take up on a postgraduate course on Multilingualism and Language Planning because I believe the future of our nation will need people prepared to do research on the topic of how the establishment will allow languages to coexist or will make them extinguish.
Language Planning is a field within Applied Linguistics which intends to stimulate a conscious effort to propel the function, structure, or acquisition of languages or a particular language variety within a speech community and is included in government planning but it is also used in a wide range of non-governmental organisations. The goals are diverse but it concentrates mostly on making planning decisions and possible changes for the benefit of communication.
The course I really like is an integrated programme between The Netherlands and Barcelona in Spain and I’d love to take it there because those are countries where multilingualism is a vivid reality, and the waythings are at the moment we can say that in the future migration and immigration will be situations that will impose new challenges on Chilean society and one of the dimensions for this challenging opportunities to materialize will be Languages and Communication.
That sounds so good! I hope you the best in Spain : )
ResponderBorrarIt's really important to know about languages, specially if it is for those kind of jobs. Hope you do your best in the netherlands or spain, bacuase both countries have very good universities

ResponderBorrarThat must be really interesting. Every language has its own way to understand the world. The multilingualism experience must be a very nice way to discover our modern world.
ResponderBorrarWow, that course on Multilingualism and Language Planning sounds very interesting, and it is a very actual subject because even here in Chile there are many inmigrants. Good luck!
ResponderBorrarit is really cool to know new languages, even more when you are an english teacher because, you can teach for every person in the world!so comunication is very important!
ResponderBorrarFinally i like your options to study Netherland or barcelona are cool!
Language planning allow to understand another cultures. I like your option, because in this time the country frontiers almost doesn't exist.

ResponderBorrarI think you have an extremely important point of view, about learning languages. The world is so exquisitely mixed that the best way to internalize ourselves with others and subtract differences is to communicate. And you put a starting point.
Regards!
I'm just leaving collage so is also difficult for me to think on coming back, but I think you have a really good reason to continue studying. Hope you find the time to do it.
ResponderBorrarI think is a great idea study out of Chile, you can visit other countries and cultures. These courses sound interesting.
ResponderBorrarbye!
Ohhh, you have your future very thinking and planned. Well, I hope you have a great time out of your country. Do you thinking learn lenguages from the occidental? They have another form for thinkin, very different for the occident. You must know the two parts. I think this.
ResponderBorrarI agree with your opinion, teacher. I think the inmmigration is a big issue in chilean society, many people are still xenophobic and your project could help to eradicate that beliefs.
