My Final Blog: Reflecting on an Amazing Journey


As I sit down to write this final blog, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions. It’s hard to believe that after five incredible years of studying, I am now at the threshold of becoming a professional translator and interpreter. This journey, filled with countless hours of learning, hard work, and growth, has shaped me in ways I never imagined. And now, as I look back on this chapter of my life, I’m filled with gratitude, pride, and excitement for what lies ahead.


When I first began this bachelor, I could never have anticipated how much I would learn, how many challenges I would overcome, or how much I would grow both as a student and as an individual. These five years have been more than just about acquiring technical skills in translation and interpretation. They've been about learning to think critically, to approach problems with creative solutions, and to truly understand the power of language in connecting people across cultures.


I am deeply thankful for the guidance and wisdom of all the professors who have been a part of this journey. They didn’t just teach us the theory and practice of translation; they also inspired us, challenged us, and pushed us to think beyond the classroom. Their patience, dedication, and expertise have been invaluable, and I can honestly say that I would not be where I am today without them.




As I approach my graduation next year, I feel a deep sense of gratitude for everything I’ve learned and all the experiences that have come with it. From the intense translation exercises to the real-world internships, each step has been a building block that has prepared me for the professional world.


This final blog entry is a reflection on all of that—a way of acknowledging how far I’ve come. But it’s also a way to express my hope for the future. To all my fellow classmates, I hope that we all continue to follow our passion for language, carry forward the knowledge we've gained, and step confidently into our careers. And to anyone reading this, I wish you success in all your future endeavors. May you continue to grow, learn, and always pursue your goals with the same enthusiasm and commitment that we’ve shared throughout these five years.


Here’s to a successful future for all of us. 


Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.

  Welcome back! This week, we dive into the importance of receptive skills in language learning. These skills—listening and reading—are essential for anyone looking to learn English with fluency. Receptive skills allow you to understand and process information, forming the basis for successful communication in any language. In our class, we discussed effective strategies that teachers can use to help students improve these skills. From active listening exercises to guided reading activities, we explored various methods educators can implement to enhance learners' comprehension. At the beginning of the class, we read an article about what people eat in Barcelona to assess the student's reading comprehension and information retention. After reading, Teacher Orlando asked us: "What was the article about?", "How many meals do they have in Barcelona?", and "What foods are mentioned in the article?" The purpose was to validate whether we understood the...

Welcome to my blog!  I am Genesis Vasquez, and I will share my journey through learning English Didactics. I am currently a fifth-year student of Translation and Interpreting at the Universidad Evangélica de El Salvador. Teaching is a big challenge, but I am willing to learn and capture as much knowledge as possible to share with others. So, pack your luggage to start this journey with me. Going back to college makes me feel very concerned because I will have to work harder than ever due to my work and academic responsibilities, however, I decided to start with the best attitude. The English Didactics class is divided into two classes that will be scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays. In our first class, the professor explained a brief overview of the activities we will be doing throughout the semester. He explained what the class was about and we took a diagnostic test. In the second class, we learned about the grammar-translation method (GTM) . A method that started in the 1840s a...

The Kolb´s Experiential Learning Cycle + Learning Styles

  Hello, everyone! I will share with you what we learned this week. The Kolb´s Experiential Learning Cycle David Kolb's theory of experiential learning suggests that learning happens in a cycle with four stages: experiencing something directly, reflecting on the experience, forming abstract ideas based on the experience, and then testing these ideas in new situations. He believes that learning begins with actually doing something or having a direct experience. 1.      Concrete Experience: This stage involves learners experiencing something new or engaging in practical activities. It's all about direct, hands-on learning. 2.      Reflective Observation: After the hands-on experience, learners think about what happened. They consider what went right, what went wrong, and what lessons they can take away from the experience. 3.      Abstract Conceptualization : Learners try to make sense of their experience by coming up...
