SAMPLE:
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, or at least 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 way things 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 materialise will be Languages and Communication.
Never is too late to do what you like and always is good to increase your knowledge, aniway good choice of countries!
ResponderEliminarI did not know what language planning was, I find it interesting that one of his future plans is to study it.
ResponderEliminarI find your postgraduate idea very interesting, precisely today when we are trying to vindicate the indigenous peoples, I think it is key to discover how to make the language and cultures of different peoples coexist.
ResponderEliminarIt sounds really useful this postgraduate, I hope you had the opportunity of take it in a future
ResponderEliminarI find it very good that you seek to specialize in such a contingent subject, I hope you can realize it!
ResponderEliminarStudying in Barcelona, is definitely a chance to see and experience how multilingualism works for sure. Hope you can reach you goal!
ResponderEliminarIt sounds like a very interesting topic to specialize in, specially because is contingent. I hope you can reach your goal in the future!
ResponderEliminarHi teacher!
ResponderEliminarI hope that in a not too distant period you have time and can go to Barcelona and meet your goals!
I hope you can achieve your goal!!
ResponderEliminarI had not thought about the cases of Netherlands or Barcelona, to apply the discipline that you want specialize, is a great idea study there.
ResponderEliminarI hope that you can go any of both countries to do the postgraduate!
ResponderEliminarI think is very interesting but also very challenging that languages can coexist someday
ResponderEliminarI really hope you can reach your goal in the future!
ResponderEliminarI have never though about it, but it's treu, our country had a lot of lenguages that are mostly ignored by the population, like mapudungun or rapanui. Those are an important part of our culture, and as it said, words creats realitys.
ResponderEliminarHi! It topic seems really interesting, I hope you can reach your goal and go to Barcelona someday in the future
