1. Dear Ms. Sanhueza,
We – as English Pedagogy students at UCSC Chile - are writing in order to complain about Teaching
Practice course I, which has started this second semester in English Pedagogy. The truth is that we
felt very disappointed, because we were expecting to do it in a real context: practicing in a high
school.
According to the final results that our degree’s specialization supposes, we need to be introduced
to the Chilean educational system, ideally at high school level. We must know it in a deeper way at
the end of our studies. Nevertheless, the new system that has been applied this semester does not
allow us to do it in the “classical method” that everyone knows as the more appropriate.
Furthermore, we believe that teaching to superior students is quite challenging. Some of us do not
feel comfortable with that situation.
We suggest that you replace the new practice system for the previous one. Even though it could
be difficult for you because we know some cases in which students of our same degree have
experienced problems to obtain a place to develop their teaching practices course. However, it is
necessary for us and our classmates for the reason that we need to increase our abilities in terms
of training and expertise.
We look forward to receiving your response about this issue at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
English Pedagogy Students.
