My experience learning English at the University

This is my last English blog, I had course the four levels, two years finally and maybe its sound bad, but I think that I didn’t have a good experience learning English at the university, although I’m not sure if I have very good reasons. I say that principally because I think that the English here it would be different than the English that I learned at school, but the method that teacher use was very similar. I feel that I lost a year because the first two levels I didn’t learned anything new, I just “learned” some thinks in the last levels (three and four), principally because I have to talk more, so I relaxed a little, now I feel more confident.

So, I can see bad and good reasons to evaluate my experience:
I think that English here would be different than English at the school, but I sow that the system was the same, though I had three different teachers, all of them teach similar, only one speak every time in English, and impulse you to speak in English to. Have English at the university was more a problem that a help. The classes took me a lot of time, I had to take the course besides the obligatory courses, and I felt that I was lost my time, as I said, especially the first year.

The good thing, as I say, was that in level three I had to speak in English a lot, so I gain more confidence, and now I feel less shame if I have to talk with an Anglo speaker. In general I understand the most of thing that I listen and read. My problems with English are at the moment to talk and write, I get nervous when I talk and I make mistakes when I write, unfortunately, this two years didn’t help me with this problems.

As a reflection, I think that learn English is very important, but you need a real motivation. Have excellent teachers doesn’t help if you don’t have motivation to learn. Personally, I hate study English here, now I study psychology, for now I can live with the English that I know, probably in the future I will need to learn more English, maybe to study abroad.

My Faculty

If you ask me about the situation in my faculty, the first thing that I say you is that in the University we have big differences between faculties. My faculty is one of these that have little resources and poor facilities.

In my faculty the facilities are not good enough, we have a little library and we have few books too. Moreover, we use the same places to lunch and to study… Yes our casino is a study room at the same time. Something that is better now is our computers room, now we have a real lab. For the other hand, we are many students for the class rooms that we have.

Of the things that I mentioned, all need improvement, less the computer lab. Of course, these improvements may vary in cost. It wills easier begin for the cheapest things.

My first steps maybe would be the cheapest; they don’t need structural reforms, so I’d star for find a new study room, and then buy some books, and at the end built more class rooms or a new library.

This situations, and thing that need improvements, require economical support, so a way to resolve it is that the central house give us more money. Or we can do some event to raise money too.

These improvements are necessary because they can improve our learning conditions, and help us to be better students, and better professionals. On the other hand, these improvements maybe have another impact: maybe if we have better working conditions and more resources, perhaps we do fewer strikes, I don’t know really...

Anyway, the next steps are asked for more resources, but without an increase in our fees. But this is an unlikely situation. But I hope to!
