Postgraduate studies.
Include:

- How you would like to study (distance learning, blended system, part-time course, etc)
- Any other relevant ideas
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, 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 can affect different languages. In other words, it could be said like this:
"Each human language is a complex set of abilities and knowledge that enables 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 more able to teach a wide varierty of students and also, in my opinion, knowing about how languages work, can reveal some of the patterns that can be found in human behavior.
The aspects of Linguistics in which I'm more interested in are Sociolinguistics and Psycholinguistics.
Now it's your turn:

We must always know what are we signing before even think about sign it.. just a tiny advice... LOL! Just kidding, I hope that the conditions get right for you so you can keep studying. (:
ResponderEliminarMy generation is in debt because we were pretty much lied to by Ricardo Lagos' government :c

EliminarIt may change though, If Priñera wins, we're all going to pay anyway...
EliminarI really hope that's not the case :c
EliminarStudy with CAE is like sign a contract with Devil.
ResponderEliminarDo you even think to study in other countries?
who knows, I did study one semester abroad and it was a good experience. It would be great to do that!
EliminarStudent Loans can be a really nightmare for older generations as well to some news that didn't have the chance to study with scholarship.
ResponderEliminarand what about to study something related with cactus?:-)
ResponderEliminarThat's also something I would explore, but right know it's not a priority.
EliminarI hope you can study with some scholarship if the government allow it.

ResponderEliminarInteresting point of view... If language teachers could understand completely how the process of learn and communicate work; it means that they could improve the way of teaching, maybe revolutionize the whole learning process! Just amazing. We are in 2017, we really need a change in teaching
ResponderEliminaryou could go to Argentina, there is free the education XDXD
ResponderEliminarIf we understand that the languages are the beginning of thoughts, understanding this process is very important for knowledge the human brain.

ResponderEliminarMy high school english teacher wanted to study linguistics as you :)
ResponderEliminarI hate student loans, you have to pay all your life
ResponderEliminarIt's a shame to have to use CAE :(
ResponderEliminarNow I feel lucky to be studying free, maybe I should consider that.
ResponderEliminarI really thinks that the invention of language was the first step of modern man
ResponderEliminaris really nice to know that you would use this learning to teach!
ResponderEliminarPsycholinguistics sounds powerful, because i think that is a aspect of linguistics that understand the language
