English Language Challenges

This one last time I’d like to talk about my English language challenges after this class. First of all I have to say that I really like to learn other languages like English because I think it’s interesting to know how other people express themselves all over the world. So I have to say that I like to have the opportunity to learn and practice a language different from Spanish. Regarding to our blogs I have to say that even when there were sometimes when I really didn’t know what to write I like when we had the chances to write about stuff like our favorite TV Show or our favorite actor/actress because it’s funny to talk about that. I think I need to improve my speaking skills and my vocabulary and I can only do that with a lot of practice so I’m going to do that. Outside the English class I could say that I frequently use my English these days because I have to read a lot of texts in English and I watch a lot of TV Shows that are in this language so I can say that English is something regular in my life. Also on the Social Medias like Instagram I see a lot of things that are in English so I really have to understand what I am reading and that also helps me to practice this language.

I’ll see you soon and keep learning!     

Changes to my Study Programme

Hello!

Like I have told you before I am studying archaeology at the University of Chile. Even when I like the career that I chose there are some things that I would like to change or put new things. Regarding to the subjects that I have to study in this career we have four main themes which are the prehistory of Chile, laboratory techniques, field techniques and archaeological theory. Also among this subjects we have complementary themes that we can choose. The length of this career is five years and we have a lot of workload because in every subject you have to be constantly reading a lot of texts or books and we have to do practical field work. One of the problems that we have in this career besides the workload are the faculty facilities because we don’t have many laboratories and our classmates from physical anthropology also need to use them.  Regarding to the teaching methods, even when we have subjects about field techniques we don’t have many practical work so that’s another problem we have on the career. Also about the technology, as archaeologist we have to use a lot of implements as GPS, microscopes, computers and programs like Google Earth but there are not enough to everybody. Even when we have a lot of things to improve, we can learn a lot of things.

See you!
