Encouraging children to remain curious, intellectually anxious is my active task. Continuous research on didactics allows us, the child and me, to explore different learning paths and which one is best for them.
This is María Fernanda, a current student of foreign languages at the Universidad del Valle, a person who loves children, smiles and has fun. Also a person totally committed to their learning processes.
Regarding my experience in teaching English as a second language, I have been involved in different contexts ranging from children to adults and their different levels of schooling, which enriches my practice and makes it more comprehensive.
