Write about a postgraduate course that you would consider taking in the future (220 words)

- How you would like to study (distance learning, blended system, part-time course, etc)
- Any other relevant ideas

For the time being I am a bit overwhealmed with projects so I do not see any chance of coming back to uni to pursue a postgraduate degree.

However, in the future I would like to take up on a postgraduate course on Multilinguism and Language Planning, because I believe the future of our nation will need people prepared to do research on the topic of how the establishment will allow languages to coexist or will make them extinguish.

Language Planning is a field within Applied Linguistics, it is a conscious effort to propel the function, structure, or acquisition of languages or language variety within a speech community, it includes government planning, but is also used in a wide range of non-governmental organisations. The goals are diverse but it concentrates mostly on making planning decisions and possibly changes for the benefit of communication.

The is a course I really like which is an integrated programme between The Netherlands and Barcelona in Spain. I’d love to take it there because those are country where multilingualism is a vivid reality.

In the future I think migration and immigration will be situations that will impose new challenges on Chilean society and one of the dimensions for this challenging opportunities to materialize will be Languages and Communication.
