In
Chile, the national curriculum, which applies to both primary and secondary
schools, is the most influential foundation for educational practice. The
Ministry of Education is responsible for the development of the national
curriculum across all subject areas. The national English curriculum, in the
past 20 years, has seen some major changes along with the country’s social,
political, and economic developments. Changes in the English curriculum have
had a profound influence on the methodological approaches to ELT in Chilean
schools. This chapter, by providing an overview of the development of foreign
language teaching in Chile over the last century, looks particularly into the
ELT curriculum changes in the last 20 years with a focused examination of the
different approaches taken in teaching and in materials development.
Shortages
in qualified teachers, obsolete teaching materials and methods, and the
rigidity of the academic format of examinations were key problems that had led
to the low oral proficiency levels. Consequently,
changes are necessary not only in the curriculum but in the infrastructure of
schools as well. Teachers need to be trained and upgrade and we need a clear
commitment from authorities to improve education in our country.
This is a very important topic. I hope that we could make better ways to teach important things to new generations.
ReplyDeleteI agree, many structural changes need to be made.
ReplyDeleteTeacher is absolutely right. But there is also a significant imbalance between public and paid schools.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you very much, there is still a lot to change in education.
ReplyDeleteit is true, much more importance and resources should be given to public education
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that all teachers should be constantly updated and specifically in the area of English, comprehension and speaking should be strengthened.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. As a country, we need a total upgrade an actualization of the curriculum, not only the English language one.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you teacher. The complete education system need a lot of structural changes
ReplyDeleteThe ministry of education should be concerned that teachers receive good training and support them so that they can take courses to update them in information during their professional work.
ReplyDeleteIt's true, many structural changes must be made in the educational system.
ReplyDeleteHi!, I agree with you, I think that modifications in the education system are totally necessary!, I'd like to think that this will change with the constitution.
ReplyDeletean update is definitely needed in the way of educating the new generations
ReplyDeleteI think all the curriculums should be reviewed, of all the subjects because they could be obsolete. And I agree with the structural changes in education.
ReplyDeleteHi, I had a lot of bad teachers in many schools, but there's always the good ones that really care about teaching and they were very creative with their methods. If you have the willing to change or improve, you can do it.
ReplyDeleteHi, It is true what it says about the great need for chaanges to teach English, especially in public education.
ReplyDeleteHi! I support your opinion about the education and the importance of good educational politics
