Blog 7: Music

Hi everyone,

I hope all is well. Today we decided to talk about music. Usually for this post, I talk about Ariana Grande, my favorite singer, but today I will talk about new singers that I have discovered recently.

1. Ella Mai: Ella Mai is a British R&B singer and has an amazing voice. Her most famous songs are Boo´d Up and Trip. Her debut album (called Ella Mai) came out this year and it is really good. She has a duet with John Legend (best male voice ever) and various ballads like Naked that are amazing songs. You should totally check her out.



2. Kali  Uchis is a Colombian-American singer. What is really cool about her is that she sings many genres of music. From pop to to funk, to even bossa nova. Her debut album is called Isolation and also came out this year. She sings in English and Spanish. Her most famous singles are Nuestro Planeta featuring Colombian reggaeton singer, Reykon and Tyrant featuring Jorja Smith. I like her album a lot because it is very different and she has a nice voice.




3. Jorja Smith. This girl (she´s only 20) has an amazing voice, I listened to her for the first time last week and her voice blew me away. She sings R&B and pop music. She is also British (but her father is Jamaican). Her most famous song is Blue Lights, which is about police brutality towards black youth (it was played at various Black Lives Matter rallies). Her debut album came out in June of this year and literally I listened to it yesterday and was amazed by how great her voice sounds.




When you get a chance, check out these singers

Blog 8: Summer Plans

Imagen
Hi everyone, Today we are going to talk about summer plans. To be honest, I barely know what I'm going to do for Christmas LOL. Anyways, I know I will be going to Boston and New York at the end of January for about 2 weeks to visit my mom and that side of my family. It will be really cold, like with snow (probably) and everything. I will be excited to see my cousins, Kylee and Sarah, who live in New York and are basically my younger sisters. I still have some friends from my childhood in that area so it will be nice to see some of them. My mom wants us to go to Cuba :O which would be amazing, especially since there is an American airline called JetBlue, which is always really cheap and they now have a direct flight from Boston to La Habana. Going to Cuba would be a dream come true, so we will see what happens there. I do have to say that I dislike going to the States each time I go. I forget how expensive things are and how racist people are there, but New York is my favori...

Blog 5: My future job

H i everybody :) I hope you had a great weekend! Today we are going to talk about your future job. Well, in my case I will talk about what I like about working in the University of Chile. I started working here in March 2016 and I really like it for various reasons. I really like the focus of the English Program. I also really like working in the Campus Juan Gomez Millas because I studied here in 2012-2013 and have many good memories, but also because it is familiar to me.  Another reason that I like working in the University of Chile is the English Program. Although I have some criticisms of the program I really like how they encourage us to focus on communicational skills and not focus on grammar, which I honestly believe is the best way to learn a language: using it with or without errors because practice makes perfect. We also try to make the classes student-centered, which means that the student is the protagonist. Regarding the classes, as I mentioned in the ...

Blog 10: English Language Challenges

Imagen
Hi all!! Today is your last blog post! Congratulations you made it hahaha! So today you are going to talk about your experience learning English at university and the use of blogs. Please, please be honest so we can know how to improve as teachers and as an English Program. I have to say that I really enjoyed being your teacher this semester and I hope you enjoyed and learned a lot in my classes as much as I did. During the course, I tried to promote the use of English 100% of the time (even though many of you still refuse <_<) and I also made sure to practice the four skills: listening, writing, reading, and speaking. I can honestly say that many of you have improved since your first video :) Regard the content of the class, as you noticed, we always saw things that had important social or political content. This is because for me it is important to show students a different reality and hopefully so you can realize that changing reality is not only possible, but necess...
