My career
Now that I'm doing my proffesional practice as an English teacher, I realized that most of the Chilean learners don't want to learn English. I have tried to motivate them through the use of didactic activities or new methologies, however they don't have a basic level of English to try to participate at leats during the classes.
I really want to help them to learn English, because it's a usefull tool for different types of jobs. They come from poor families as I do, and in spite of my English is not so good I know that I can help them.
Many Chilean teachers have told me that when students don't want to learn, there's nothing I can do. But I don't want to think that - I want to believe that I can make a change in their lives.
Am I wrong?...am I dreaming?... I don't know, but I want to try...

It's not easy being a teacher, Natty. The best advice I can give you is to try to make it as fun as possible for them. I can't speak for your methodology because I haven't been in the classroom with you, but always try to see things from the students' perspective. I know one activity that really helped my students get engaged was a poetry contest. Give them the opportunity to develop several different types of poems from non-rhyming to haiku. Show their works off in a hallway to the school outside your room. This allowed my students to take a personal interest in their work rather than see it as a burdensome assignment. Good luck!
