Here's my sample post for this topic:
I have to start by saying that for me to study a new career or to deepen my knowledge in English teaching, a lot of changes would have to occur, as I'm not willing to get a ton of debt to specialize again. I studied my career with CAE and I really didn't know what it was when I was 18. So now, over ten years later, I'd consider it twice before signing a contract with a bank that will profit from student loans.
Now, if the conditions were right, I'd probably study something related to Linguistics. Linguistics is the science that studies language, not only knowing how to speak, but also how languages are learnt and how different contexts affect different languages. In other words, it could be said like this:
"Each human language is a complex of knowledge and abilities enabling speakers of the language to communicate with each other, to express ideas, hypotheses, emotions, desires, and all the other things that need expressing. Linguistics is the study of these knowledge systems in all their aspects: how is such a knowledge system structured, how is it acquired, how is it used in the production and comprehension of messages, how does it change over time?"
Understanding these factors can really help a teacher become able to teach a wide varierty of students and also, in my opinion, knowing about how languages work, can reveal some patterns that can be found in human behavior.
The aspects of Linguistics in which I'm more interested in are Sociolinguistics and Psycholinguistics.

wow CAE it's really hell for the university students, my sister had CAE just for 2 years and she has a debt for 12 millions!! apart from that, linguisic it's fascinating to learn.
ResponderBorrarI feel is very important understand different aspects of Linguistics because help us in the communication between people.
ResponderBorrarOne of my options was studying something related to linguistics, I also like how languages works in different places around the world!
ResponderBorrarI thing it's really interesting the study of lenguage, once i take a subject of antropology and study a little of it and there the teacher mention the importance of lenguage on society and evolution, that's really interesting.
ResponderBorrarBoth Sociolinguistics and Psycholinguistics are interesting fields i think, and also both have a important role on our relationship with others.
ResponderBorrarIt sound so interesting to study Linguistics, to understand each lenguage. It will be great to know how to communicate with other person to another country.
ResponderBorrarI love languages, I thik that helps -as you said- to understand a lot of societies and differents ways to think. I would like to learn about it. Now I'm studying my third language, and I hope to learn more in the future, but first I have to get a better level in the languages that I know hahaha
ResponderBorrarThe most important of linguistics is that it allows to understand that language built realities, the words and ways of saying and speaking build ways of life ...
ResponderBorrarThat sounds really interesting !!
ResponderBorrarthe CAE truly sucks and the linguistic part sounds great and completly true, and also the lenguage it is what build the society so the history of every lenguage tells the history of that country and the people who lives there too.

ResponderBorrarI think linguistics is really important in the way we study languages and the behavior of society. This implies a study through the scientific method, classifying itself as a science, since it is also related to evolutionary biological processes
the Cae was a really bad idea, its so sad the Cae was limited your contiunity of studies
