Msc. Yuraimig Rivero.

1. How long have you been working in this University?

"I have been working in this University for 9 years now. Since 2002 as a contracted teacher and from 2006 on as a regular one."


2. What subjects have you taught, which one has been your favorite and why?

"I have taught several subjects: From English I to English V, Introduction to Linguistics and Advanced English I and II."

"But the subject that I like the most is Introduction to Linguistics because I feel identified with some aspects of this subject; but I also like English I."


3. Is there any subject you have not taught, but you wish to do. Which one and why?

"Yes, I would like to teach Phonetics and Phonology since Professor Johnny Sánchez taught me some aspects of it that have helped me in so many ways."

4. What are the best experiences you have lived as an English teacher at the Teacher’s training college?

 "Experiences… Well, a lot of them. One of them may be in the past when I took my master, being an English teacher here; it was not at the Pedagógico, but it was at UDO, Núcleo Cumaná, and it was one of my best experiences, to be part of the questions that the British Council offers. Being an English teacher sometimes you have the chance to be visited by other institutes, the British Council for example, and they offer to the English teachers big courses, so you have the chance of meeting people, and to have the opportunity to go to Caracas perhaps, and to do other things. So, all those things may help you just to increase the knowledge that whatever you have about the English language and not only about the English language but also about the way you have your teacher learning process at the same time."
