During the class we talked about English today and the Future of English, sharing some ideas and trying to understand what is happening during the last years. We all agree that English is really important now and we can support that if we see that English is the language of internet, business, travelers, kids, adolescents and many people around the world that are able to communicate by using the language.
As teachers, what we have to do is to prepare and maybe study another language because in the future will be necessary to be multilingual. We are young so we have time to do it.
Also, we discussed about English as a Lingua Franca, in which we analyse that it is not only to be native speaker but also to join high proficiency. Of course, our role is really big in order to help young learners to acquire the language and use it in their environments.
I will continue later...

Hi Natalia,
You're working with a very special population- young learners- as this might be their first experience with the foreign language. You have a big opportunity to make students love the language, which will surely contribute to a more enjoyable and effective process of langauge acquisition. And the fact that you are studying shows that you really care.
