My last post!

Hi everyone!

I would like to begin this post talking about my experience learning English at university. I liked this subject, a lot actually. I believe that it was due to our teacher's methodology. She was always very respectful and it made me feel in confidence to talk in English, putting aside the fear of making mistakes. I believe that feeling confident is the key when you're trying to learn a new language, so I am really grateful about this.

About the use of blogs... I think it's a great tool, it's didactic and it allows you to practice and improve your English writing. It's also a plus the possibility of quickly search something on the internet if I am doubtful.

About my English I think I need to improve my pronunciation and my English writing. I would like to make this possible studying on my own and practicing! I would love to travel to some country where I can practice my English in different and new situations. I think that would be the best way for me to fully acquire this language.

Outside the English class I have been using this language a lot more than I used to. I have been reading papers for other subjects in English and it has been a lot easier! Still slower than my Spanish reading but I can see the improvement and that makes me really happy :) Also I've been trying to watch TV series (The Walking Dead :o ) in English with English subtitles and I can actually understand what they're talking about! It has also been really helpful with pronunciation and grammar, so I would like to recommend you this method which is also entertaining.

Hope you all can end this semester successfully!

Sports!.

Hello!, Today I should about sports.

I like many sport, like football, basketball, swimming, etc. But, the sport that like more, are Contact sport. Contact sport born from the millenary martial arts like Kung-fu, Karate, Taekwondo, etc. This martial arts, was adapted to the modern context and, in many ways they were deformed, to make way for contact sports. In this sense, contact sport, are the modern and competitive version of millenary martial arts. The contact sports most famouse, probabily are, boxing, karate and MMA (Mix Martials Arts).

In many case (like ninjutsu or hwa rang do), the conversion to contact sport, affected his non-competition philosophy based. This means the transformation of complet martial art system.

Currently , don´t practice any sport, but I have practiced many during my life. Of all these sports, the one i like these most, is Kung-Fu. Kung fu is a Chinase martial art. The deportive modality was called "San Da". San Da is basically is competitive Kung Fu.

Anyway, contact sports not only strengthen the body, but also, strengthen strengthen the mind. I´m learning about tolerance and respect playing contact sports.



that has been all for today, we have come, see you later!.
Bye!.

Today, I´m, want to talk about pets. I have five pets, two cats and three dogs. I love my pets because they give me many love always. All pets was pick up to the street, this make then specials. The name of my three dogs are: Cholito, Paz and Brownie. The name of my cats are: Juliet and Rinson.

Although i have five pets, i wanna talk about my favorite, Juliet. I know that one should not have a favorite pets, but Juliet or Juliart, is a pretty cat.

My girlfriend found Juliat on abandoned house, its former owners they had abandoned when they moved house. In the beginning Juliart resisted to leave her house. My girlfriend was take it to the force. When she arrived to our house, she was aloof and sullen cat. But with time she became in a sweet and cute cat.

The best concert of my life. 

The best concert i have had, was in 2010 in Santiago de Chile. I went to see Sonata Arctica, a finnish synphonyc metal band. I'm really enjoyed this concert for many reasons. firts, I went to de concert with my bests friends. Second, i was in fist line, in front to the stage. It allowed me to see the members of band in first plane. I remenber that i took a water bottle that one of then threw. i kept that bottle for a long time, then i lost it.

After the concert, my girlfriend and me, followed the members of the band to the hotel in which they stayed. after two hours, we could see them. Then, they gave us their autographs. I remenber this concert with love, because, i enjoyed the show and could see my favorite musician in person.

I hope I can go to a concert like that again

I would like visit....

I would like visit many countries, for different reasons. In first place, i want to go to United Kingdom ( UK ), because it´s a beautiful country with beautiful landscapes. I´d like to know the architecture of most important city in UK, like London, Oxford or Edinburgh. I'm interested in old architecture because it allows to understand part of the people´s history and culture. Really, i do not know  much about british culture, but this makes it more stimulating.

If i could go to London, i'd visit the Tower of London, the world's most famous building, used for royal palace, prison and place of execution, arsenal, jewel house and zoo. Other atraction of London, i´d like to visit, is London Dungeon. This show is based on real London history and legends. The actors perform  many famous characters of London mythology, like Jack the Ripper and infamous barber of Fleet Street, Sweeney Todd.

These  are some of the few things, I would like to do in London. Probabily they are not the only one.

In the past, i have found my english class a little boring, but this semester i hope that is not so

Neuromyths in education

Today I'm talking about: “Neuromyths in education”. Why this topic?, because I believe that education is the most important process in our life and believe that educational processes can get better If we put attention to evidence of neuroscience research.

Now, I will be talking about neuromyths. For many years, myths about the brain, have persisted in schools and colleges and often have been used to justicate ineffective approaches to teaching and learning. This brings as consequence that many times learning and teaching interventions have not direct evidence about efficiency.

For example: many teachers and students believed that exist differences in hemispheric dominance (left brain or right brain) and this, can help to explain individual differences amongst learners. But this is incorrect, we have no evidence about this, we know that the brain works as a whole. In this regard, educational intervention focused on develop left brain or right brain skills, make no sense.

Other disseminated neuromyths it´s connected with learning style. Usually people thinks that students learning better if they perceive the information by particular sense. This gave birth to auditive, visual or kinesthetic student. But, just as in the previous example, we have not evidence about this.

I believe that educational processes can get better if we put attention on the evidence and we design  educational interventions based on it. .
