BEGGINING

I decided to begin this blog  just to record my experiences as a language teacher at UCC .Univesidad Cooperativa de Colombia is an upper studies center located in Medellín city. I have been working there for about 7 years now. 
The purpose of this blog is to sistematize the experiences I have every day in my rol as a language teacher. It is not an easy job but I like challenges.
