My experience learning english

My experience learning English at the University has been, in general, good. I say in general, because although I like to learn languages, the class schedule is not good for me. In general, after lunch, I am very sleepy and it’s difficult for me to concentrate.

Regarding the use of blogs, it' s a methodology that I had used before, in English 3, so I already had some practice. It takes me a long time to write a blog, and that frustrates me. However, I think that every time I do it faster. I like when we choose the themes, and we can talk about movies, trips or strange dreams.

What I need to improve is speaking English. I don’t have a hard time understanding or writing English, but speaking is still a problem for me. I would like to do some exchange abroad, because I think it’is the best way to learn how to speak.

In general, I don’t use english outside the English class. I only do it when there’s a new series that hasn’ t been subtitled in Spanish, and I see it in English. Also, my grandmother receives exchange people in her house, and I have spoken with them sometimes to practice.

Lately, I have been applying for several internships, and in many of them they ask for a minimum level of English. However, even if I don’t use English yet, I know that it’s a very useful and necessary tool, and that it will open many doors for me, if I can learn it well.

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME :)

There are many things I would like to changed from my study programme, If I could.
First thing, I would like to study more from gender issues. It seems incredible to me that in 2017 there has not been any compulsory class included on the subject. I think it’s very important that journalism includes the gender issue in its curriculum, because I think that journalism can contribute a lot to feminism, but for that to happen there must be prior training.There is a CFG called "non-sexist communication", and it’s wonderful. But it's not enough.On the other hand, I think the classes are very long.  It is known that the concentration doesn ‘t last more than 10 minutes.  Many times, a class starts at 8.30 and ends at 13.30, so it's very difficult to learn something. The teacher can be very entertaining, but if he speaks five hours, it is impossible to listen carefully.About the faculty facilities, I believe that my faculty is very precarious. As students, we always need to use cameras, microphones, editing rooms, etc. But they are never available! And if they are available, they are bad, broken or without batteries.

I also think that a good journalist is often confused with a good teacher, so ICEI  hires many good journalists, but a lot of them are very bad teachers!
Many of them only speak and speak and speak, and they don’t even know that there is power point!

However, we always tends to highlight the bad things, but my university has many other good things, and I love it!
