Hello dear student,
We are Andrea Baquero and Ángela Castiblanco. We are from Bogotá, Colombia and we are English teachers. We work for the Colombian government through public education in high schools. We are also taking our Master Degree in Language Teaching for Self-Directed Environments with the Sabana University. We have been working in different High Education Institutes too and we do not have any difficulty in working with students of all ages, so our experience in the teaching – learning field is vast. Through the years we have faced different kind of difficulties related to lack of resources and few available hours to learn the language, but as we understand the importance of knowing English and keep students motivated, we have designed our own material to work with them at school and at the institutes. Fortunately, now we can also take advantage of technology and all the web 2.0 tools we find for us to create even greater activities that allow our students to become more autonomous and step by step turn into self-directed learners.
Being a teacher is having the possibility of living to contribute in the life of thousands of people and as we have been blessed with this mission, we just want to be a support and let the world know that the ones, who believe in enhancement and a better future full of opportunities to grow and succeed, are more!
So, welcome to our blog, we are really happy of being part of this new age of learning through technology and we will be regarding all your comments, suggestions and questions in order to make de appropriate adjustments and ensure the accomplish of our goals.
Sincerely,
