''Chilean Education and the role of future Teachers''

When I think in my near future, generally I feel a little bit scare, because nowadays children are not the same that they used to be years ago, now they don't have any respect for anything or anybody(generally), but it's also true that I have vocation to teach and I feel very well doing it, so when I balance these things, the scale always ends going to the side of my vocation, being this the main reason of why I’m studying to teach English... because I want to transmit the love that I have it, besides the fact that English will bring them many benefits for their future jobs.

Here in Chile is well known that the quality of English that is taught in schools is a little poor, being the verb “to be " taught for years, without achieving that the children create dialogs by themselves. In my opinion this happen because in most of municipal schools, children start learning the language only in 5th grade, being teaching just 2 or 3 hours a week and it’s not enough time to make them learn how to communicate using a language very different from the mother tongue.
It’s our duty as English's teachers, with the help of the education’s authorities, to change this reality, because it’s not possible that only private schools’ pupils can have the possibility of learning a quality English, speaking perfectly the language when they finish the school, whereas the pupils of municipal schools only know the basic vocabulary of this language, as the colors, the numbers and animals and they don’t even handle the verb to be in a good way when they graduate of the school.

You’re probably thinking... how we change this reality?

Well as I already mentioned, if the teaching of the English language was equally for everybody, since pre-school level, children would assimilate the language as natives, not as tourists (like most of adults that try to learn other language) because the brain is predisposed to the learning a new language when they are little children and this innate capacity last up to the puberty and this project might facilitate a lot, the secondary teachers' work who generally must teach basic contents as the verb "to be" over and over again because the secondary pupils don't have the necessary competences that they should have, in this form the quality of the education of English would improve a lot.

Finally I have to mentioned that as the word TEACHER says it, we have to teach children, but not just vocabulary and how to use it in a dialogue or how to communicate, we have to teach them values and give them the necessary tools in order that they could be better and successful persons in the future.
We have to guide them, not just deliver them all the necessary information, but helping them in order that they are capable of constructing their own learning.
