Current academic challenges
The present academic year has been a challenge for us
all. New things to be learnt, many non academic affairs, the pandemic situation
and so on. However, I believe that every new academic term is an open door to
learn. A chance to expand your horizon. Enrolling in a course signify that you
will come across new contents which has been designed to take us a step further.
Acquiring these new knowledge is not passive act, we need to be alert and
prepared to received them with a receptive mind setting and put our focus onto our
personal and professional lives.
As for the present year, I have had many expectations.
I have wanted my students to learn many new things, reinforce others that a bit
rusty and retake some others forgotten somewhere along the way. In consequence,
I believe that the present term will be an excellent chance to improve our English
knowledge and to get to know very
interesting people. Perhaps meeting someone engaging (a book biography) learning
something new (academic) enlarging my view on something (knowledge) growing
stronger (confidence) to be a better
person/teacher (listening) and many more subsequently...
Human relations are an important role in our lives. We dwell in communities, as such, we are facing several challenges every day. The present semester is also a tremendous opportunity to grow, to learn from each other, to accept and respect other point of view, by instance. I have to face several new people day by day, and learning from then is what I like the most.
it's really nice to see an optimistic take on all of this :-)

ReplyDeleteOne of the most challenging things about the pandemic are social relationships, both those that are lost and those that must be strengthened at home
