Wow, I'm so nervous today! Let me tell you.
I'd been studying English since I was six, but never ended the oficial courses because I didn't have place. As soon as I came to live to Melilla, I found the perfect chance to do it, so I started the Advanced level at the Oficial School. Everything ok so far.
The teacher happened to be a substitute (I do not have anything against them, I do am as well, but she was not able to speak English fluently!). I mean she had studied filology but never lived abroad. She has two months of holiday every summer and spends her vacation in Spain. She is the least worldwide girl I've ever seen, and her English is nasty!
First, I tried to ignore it, so as to pass the final exam and to go on with the last course. Therefore, I had to shout my mouth once, twice, a million times, whenever she pronounced 'verb' like /'berf/ or 'sunbathe' like 'sun'+'bath', when she explained that 'caught' was pronounced like 'laugh', or when she crossed out 'have/take a nap' in my writings to write 'sleep a nap' instead. She was not only stupid but she didn't prepare her lessons ever.
I'm not a native speaker and make many mistakes, but that was getting out of my nerves, when it was the last straw: the oral exam. I was asked about science, I talked for fifteen minutes about my lack of interest in science and I failed. She wanted me to say 'the words of the book' (that's what she told me).
I was so dissapointed that I asked to be taken my oral exam by another teacher or, at least, to be recorded. And today I had the answer: somebody called me today from the School to tell me I'm going to be evaluated by a tribunal of three teachers.
That will be on 11th Sept, and I'll tell you then. Meanwhile, I'm a bit nervous.
ESO ME PASA POR CHULA. JAJAJA.

Hay que seguir con el inglés, intentando mejorar. Como con todo en la vida vamos. Suerte majetona.
ResponderEliminarMe voy al traductor de google.
ResponderEliminarHannah Montana, te lo cuento. Tengo una profesora de inglés que no sabe inglés, que lleva ocho años de interina en Melilla dando clase a 3º de ESO y que este año le han dado el curso AVANZADO 1 de la Escuela de Idiomas. Que no sabe tratar con adultos, no prepara las clases y no ha viajado en su vida. Habla peor que yo, me suspendió el oral, reclamé por escrito y ayer me confirmaron que me va a evaluar un tribunal de 3 profes (ella y dos más). No me juego nada porque no necesito el título para nada pero me impone bastante ser la alumna más conocida de la EOI de Melilla. Qué te parece?? Jajaja. Me van las emociones fuertes.
ResponderEliminarPues veo que sí que te encantan las emociones fuertes.
ResponderEliminarLe puedes decir en inglés que es tonta del culo. Igual ni se da por enterada.
Si es que lo que no te pase a ti, jejejeje, buena suerte, y es verdad que hay mucha gente que sabe sobre una materia y le dan el título pero enseñar conlleva algo mas.......
ResponderEliminarTú puedes con todo, oposiciones, exámenes de inglés....
Ya nos contarás ;)
B*
Gracias chicos, ya os contaré! :)
ResponderEliminarB*, esta no sólo es que no sepa enseñar, es que no sabe inglés. Al menos no para dar un nivel avanzado: no tiene fluidez, ni vocabulario ni buena pronunciación y supongo que sabe gramática pero no la sabe aplicar. Necesita irse de erasmus pero bien lejosssssssssssss, ggggg...
si tienes derecho a reclamar y a hacer el examen, pues lo haces, que resignarse no conduce a nada!
ResponderEliminarEs cierto que hay gente dando clase de inglés que nunca se preocupó de salir fuera, igual que hay gente que se sacó un título de informática sin tener siquiera ordenador: ya no es falta de interés, es falta de profesionalidad!!
(/modo indignado off)
Bueno, espero que te vaya bien y que ese triunfo moral te anime mucho!!
besos
Gracias Sra. Allnut, tus palabras me han tranquilizado una barbaridad. Creo que puedo estar tranquila pero a veces me entra el tembleque.
ResponderEliminarYou're always so wise, thanks a bunch! :)
de nada, reina, me alegra servir de algo!!
ResponderEliminarbesos
It has happened to me sometimes to meet teachers who knew less than I.
ResponderEliminarI hope that you are lucky in your oral exam!
