After a very busy week, I am kind of tired. The 7th SEPEX (“Semana de Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão”) started on Wednesday at UFSC, and I had a lot to do. I subscribed to two courses: “A linguagem nas histórias em quadrinhos: a nona arte” and “O lúdico como ferramenta nas aulas de Língua Estrangeira”. Each course took four hours, and I had the opportunity to learn very interesting things. As last semester I wrote a paper about Dom Quixote’s adaptations to comic books, I thought that taking a course about “HQs” would be a very nice idea. Also, I enjoyed the other course, since I will be able to use many of the ideas in my volunteer work as an English teacher. After all, I am very concerned about preparing fun and enthusiastic classes – I want my students to have the desire for learning!
This week I also had the opportunity to discuss my essay with Teacher Raquel. She gave me very nice tips and ideas so that I could improve my writing. I’m so happy about “constructing my paths towards academic sophistication”!
