A career-related website OR An expert on your field

Hi everyone,

 This week you will choose one of two topics:

Topic 1: A career-oriented website you enjoy visiting. Include this information:

• Describe the website and provide the link.
• How often you visit it?
• Explain why you like the site.
• Who would you recommend it to?

Topic 2: An expert/person in your field that you admire. Include this information:

• Why do you admire this person?
• What has this person done /contributed?
• Provide a short biography

My choice ( Topic 1)

According to my personal experience I would say that I haven't got just one favourite website. I´ve got plenty of them like those ones related to english teaching. They provide a lot of extra material which you can adapt and innovate. Almost all of them (of course) use digital technology which  is increasingly turning into a learning tool among others so specially language teachers may find on the web a variety of resources that will help them to continue bringing students into the broader world.

 Blog post 4- A photograph and its story

I love photographs because they are visual images of powerful moments and each one is able to tell a story. Probably you have heard the old saying, “ A picture is worth a thousand words”. I think it is true. Moments happen all the time and they can happen fast, so capturing them is an amazing way to enjoy and re-lived some of the memories at anytime.

This photograph was taken by one of  my students at FAU in 2014. It shows me with

my students from Perú. They were from different cities (Cuzco, Lima, Tacna, Arequipa, etc) and they were doing a Master at Universidad de Chile. They really enjoyed the experience of living and studying in Chile.

Studying English was a challenging task for them, that is why this photograph is important and emotional because we were celebrating they had concluded successfully the course (after a 1-year period)!

Tell us about a photo (or image) that is meaningful to you. Include this information:

·       What does it mean to you?

·       Why does it interest you?

·       What is the story behind the photo?

Write at least 150 words.
