For the time being I am a bit overwhelmed with projects so I do not see any chance of coming back to uni to pursue a postgraduate degree, yet. 
However, in the future I would like to take up on a postgraduate course on Multilingualism and Language Planning because I believe the future of our nation will need people prepared to do research on the topic of how the establishment will allow languages to coexist or will make them extinguish.

Language Planning is a field within Applied Linguistics which intends to stimulate a conscious effort to propel the function, structure, or acquisition of languages or a particular language variety within a speech community and is included in government planning but it is also used in a wide range of non-governmental organisations. The goals are diverse but it concentrates mostly on making planning decisions and possible changes for the benefit of communication.

The course I really like is an integrated programme between The Netherlands and Barcelona in Spain and I’d love to take it there because those are countries where multilingualism is a vivid reality, and the waythings are at the moment we can say that in the future migration and immigration will be situations that will impose new challenges on Chilean society and one of the dimensions for this challenging opportunities to materialize will be Languages and Communication.

Comments

  1. Languages in general are the key to achieve peace in the world, because if we can understand in which way people articulate words and how much the language says about an specific culture we can understand a little bit better that culture and realize that everyone wants the same things (to live in peace). As always Great Post!

  4. The multilinguistic future its coming closer and closer to every corner of the world, one side chooses to hate, and the other chooses to learn and coexist. I hope you can achieve your postgraduate studies in that ambit!

  5. It is very important to have multilanguage projects since over the years it will increase migration in Chile.
    but not only with migration but also with the languages ​​of the indigenous territories.

  8. I have always thought that languages ​​are very interesting, but it is difficult for me to learn. I think Chile is a multicultural country and we should all know many languages.

Post 4 (05-11): Experiences

Tough as Nails: Experiences at University  (200 words. 3 comments and comment on Teacher's blog) "Tough as nails", that was my idea about Uni back when I was a 17 year old  freshman, starting a degree in civil construction. I had heard my father, many times, telling memories from his college years and the most common thought was that he has to study hard as hell. He even claimed one class could be as intense as one month of regular high school lessons. Imagine that! So there I was, facing the unknown, suffering a bit from the pledges but still up to the challenge. My first class was Calculus I -engineers' stuff. And ... Voila!  Only  the first class and the Professor had already made a full revision of what we were supposed to have learnt at school. Of course I freaked out! I had to double study. It was really hard at first but after some time I made very good friends and study groups. I started to remember and make up for the things I d...

Because of many reasons, but mostly, because it is such a varied and colorful contry. Russia has an incredible population,  they are 142.5 million people according to the statistics given by the UN in 2007. The number might seem scary, but don't worry! Density is low because of the country’s enormous size, in fact,  its geography is composed of more than 17 million square kilometres! This huge land is the home of one of the mo...
