I am interested in bilingual education. I am currently teaching secondary school Spanish-speaking students who are training for the University of Cambridge International Examinations. My work has to do mostly with Advanced English Language, Creative Writing, Literatures in English, Practical Criticism, and Literary Theory.The approach of the courses I am teaching is task-based and the emphasis is on originality of outlook and experimentation.The field of IT applied to education is of great interest to me, though I am only beginning to get an inkling of the importance of such tools as complementary of traditional classroom-based education. That is one of the reasons why The Wikeversity sounds so interesting at the moment, at a time when I am about to embark on a diploma course in IT. The design of interactive materials and online-courses is what attracts most. I am also a practising writer currently working on a travelogue as well as a guide for Spanish-speaking teenage students of English Literature and materials tailored to their needs. Another field I am interested in is researching the narratives of the first travellers who recorded their impressions of Argentina in former centuries, education and Nature Writing.
