Learning English at the University (Essay)

Hi everyone, this week on my blog I will talk about…well…about my learning English at the University. During these two years , I can say I enjoyed very much my english’s session. Precisely, in this essay I try to explain why I enjoyed my English class in the University. I think this is important as a personal evaluation of our experience as students in English classes at the university. In few word, I can say it was a good experience, interesting, and that has motivated me in learning the English language. I enjoyed my English sessions because I have learned many new things: to speak better English, to use a blog page to communicate with people around the world, a post to other blog sites... Yes, I can say: I love now the english language!.. I am now a fan of English classes!

Let's start with the bad. It is true that my experience in English class has been good. However, in many cases, the classes we had were a bit boring. Teacher!, this is a problem that needs improvement! It's too boring to talk in the blogs about the “challenges in my discipline” or the “Improving my faculty facilities”. This is a bit .. mmmm .. nerd! (or, in chilean language: It is very ñoño!) However, it is well. It is not an English course or not?

On the other hand, definitely, as I said earlier, my learning English at the University has helped me a lot to improve my English. Since I started studying English at the University, I could communicate with many people in English. New friends from Europe and United States, reading several articles and books in English, writing letters to people who do not understand the Spanish language. All this has been the result, in part, from the constant work that we have had in our english sessions. Equally, our English teachers have been characterized by its high academic standards and his willingness to time to solve our problems with English language learning. Finally, I think the method of the blog, oral tests and classroom activities are good study skills. Congratulations! Really, go ahead!

In conclusion, I think there are several advantages to take the English class. First, it is very useful as a form of interactive learning. Allows students to learn English from a form of daily communication. Also, it allows communication in English in a way similar to those in everyday life. On the other hand, I think the blog makes it less necessary to the study of English grammar boring classes!

Well, many greetings, good luck ... And we are the next semester of English classes in English V. Oh! that does not exist! Byeeee!!!

CHALLENGES IN MY DISCIPLINE

The archaeology has today significant challenges in the fields of technology, society and education. A number of important changes in these fields make urgent a deep discussion between all archaeologists. The result of this discussion will be very important for the development of archeology in the next decades. The result of this discussion will result in a greater or wors adequacy of
the archeology to modern times, the twenty-first century.

He has been in the field of technology in which have been the most important challenges for archeology. Among these challenges, we can mention the following:

1- The challenge of a intensive implementation of the Global Positioning System, GPS, in archaeological research. Also, the challenge of a regular use of satellite photography (Google Earth) for recognition spatial and topographic.

2- The challenge of a use of digital models of 3D excavation, using a series of special computational softwares. These models were used to represent computationally various aspects of archaeological excavations: for example, the various stratum and levels of stratigraphy in an excavation unit.

3- The challenge of a popularization of new absolute dating methods in archaeological research, among others, the AMS radiocarbon dating, the method of dating obsidian hydration, etc.

4- The challenge of a frequent use of precision instruments for recording the topographic characteristics of the different areas of archaeological research activities.

Moreover, in the field of education and society, the biggest challenge in archeology is in the field of SOCIALIZATION of archaeological knowledge, in an instructive, pedagogical and educational for people of all ages. In this context, the greatest danger is an extreme complexity of language archaeological, understandable only by archaeologists and distant from educational needs or society. In this sense, the major technological advances in archeology could have an adverse effect on the relationship between archeology and the public.

In few words, the challenges of archeology in the fields of technology, society and education is connect with the problem of how archeology can adapt to the changes of the actual society, for example, the technological advances, although taking account educational and social needs.

In my opinion, the major problems of development of archeology in the fields of technology, society and education is connect with little effort to link these areas. The solution therefore is to open more dialogue between actors involved: archaeologists, communities, state and society.
