The chilean education and the role of future teachers

The chilean education is divided into four areas, such as: kindergarten, primary, secondary and higher education. And it is based by the LOCE. These levels are supervised by the Public Politics

In the future, teachers have to be able to instill certains kinds of principles and values, because, through the English subject, teachers can teach or transmit four levels of the Transversal fundamental objectives, such as: principles training, thinking development, personal development and finally the person and its environment. Each level is oriented to develop the principles of the pupil, but also it pretends to integrate each student to the society and to improve the social behaviour of each student.

Through the English subject students have the opportunity to develop an ethics formation, because they can familiarize with other cultures, thoughts and beliefs. Therefore, they can learn to tolerate and respect differents cultures.

Through the materials development students can also express their opinions and ideas in relation to the information given in the oral or written text.

In addition, students can research important events that are happening in other cultures of English language, with the objective to reflect about it.

Also, students can see the differents traditions that are inserted in our culture, such as: halloween, easter, etc., however it is very good for them, because they can improve or extend their knowledge, but also they learn to appreciate differents cultures to themself.

I think that a future teacher not only have to be worried about to teach contents, but also principles and values. Because, nowadays we live in a world that is full of inappropriate behaviours. Hence, teachers have to sensitize, because in these times students don’t have any interest in to learn. They only spend their time in games, newspapers, etc. In fact, nowadays students are more vulnerable to consume drugs, alcohol, etc. and obviously these kinds of problems not only affect the personality of them, but also the family and even the school life. As a result, teachers have to introduce the new concept surreptitiously through values and interesting discussions or topics by to perceive their attention.

As a conclusion, all future teachers have to include the Transversal fundamental objectives in their classes, because day to day we are going to face up a difficult generation and for that is very important don’t forget the transversal objectives that contribute a series of values in a personal and social aspect, that can be acquired through the English language. Besides, students can learn and familiarize with differents kinds of cultures, thoughts, beliefs, traditions and lifestyles that are presented in oral and written way by the tutor.

I choose to talk about the Transversal fundamental objectives, because in the future teachers not only can teach or give information in relation to the area that they are specialized, but also they have to transmit to their students values and principles.
