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.
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 waythings 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 materialize will be Languages and Communication.

    I think Barcelona is a pleasant city to live and study in, precisely because is multicultural (and beauty) ;)

    i think that with all this inmigration, our culture will change and we'll need to learn different languages. I'm sure that multilingualism is something that will certainly happen in our country. I think that's great!

    I had never heard of Multilingualism and Language Planning. It is very interesting the subject and I'm glad that there are people like you that want to generate this type of activities in Chile because we need it !!!

Themed Post 2 (05-10) My Favouritew Character from a Series

Sheldon Cooper: BAZINGA. It is not at all hard to think of funny or interesting characters in movies or series, it is actually hard to  think of only one which may stand as my favourite but after a thought or two I have come up to the certainty that Sheldon Cooper, from the The Big Bang Theory series is my favourite because it is a smart and witty guy, he also shows he wants to do his best despite all his personal difficulties and mostly because his interventions are hilarious, even though he doesn’t mean to. The TV series The Big Bang Theory is about a group of friends who are very intelligent scientists and in their early 30’s struggling to get a sound relationship with both their loving and professional lives and Sheldon Cooper happens to be the most prestigious scientist of them all but yet, he is the character which struggles the most due to his Asperger condition,  which makes him seem to be an awkward and hard to deal with person, principally because of his say...
