English didactics week 9

Hello! 

This week I was not able to make it to class, but that's because I was interpreting. With Kenya we were volunteering as interpreters for this event that was being held in the university. It was such a nice experience to be able to perform with simultaneous interpretation for the very first time! 

The speakers were mostly talking about improving teaching within the classroom, they explained how students were being directly affected by technology, mostly cell phones. Also they talked about research, how to encourage it, how to do it properly, and all the generalities of research. 

When Kenya and I were done interpreting we headed back to the classroom but, the class was already over! 

See you next time! :)

English Didactics DC Week 1

   English didactics blog!  Welcome to this blog!  My name is David Cristales, I am a 21 years old guy and a translation and interpretation student  (this is my last year!) . Here you will find some reviews about what am I going to learn throughout this whole year 2025. I really enjoy talking a lot and sharing random facts sometimes, so at least for me this is a fun activity. I love playing videogames, I am trying to start with the habit of reading, sometimes I would play the guitar for a couple of hours, but then forget that I have one for months, it is what it is...

English Didactics Week VI

Imagen
 Week number VI is midterms week.  Not a fun week for most of the students, but we cannot get rid of it. In this week we reviewed a little about all the teaching methods we have studied until the day and in order to carry on this, the class was separated in groups to create presentations with each method. The method I and my classmates presented was the Direct Method, at the end of this presentation there was an activity for the whole class.  Unfortunately I do not have much pictures about this and the only ones that exist are some in which I do not appear, but I am 100% sure that I was there.

English Didactics week II

Week 2  In this week I was not in college, I had the opportunity to participate as an interpreter volunteer at  ASAPROSAR in a visual campaign, this place is in Santa Ana. Some of my peers and I went to this place and we had to stay there.  This experience was wonderful. I helped with interpretations in visual exams, appointments and the greatest opportunity I had was being able to go into the operating room and see some of the surgeries. I learned a lot of new vocabulary, things that would have never crossed my mind, words that I did not even know that existed.  Getting to help people is one of the most gratificant things in life. Some people even cried when they realized they could get to see again. That was awesome!  Friends and some new ones... "El que no vive para servir, no sirve para vivir"  - I do not know who said this
