My Degrees in Brazil and abroad

In 1990 I finished my college at the  Federal University of Teresina. I was 25 years old. My main course was English as a second Language. I studied American and British language and literature. At the same time I was very interested to learn another language, then I chose French.
Also I had chance to study about Philosophy focusing on Educational area.

Since I finished my course I decided to live abroad, then I got a scholarship to study in Japan.in 1991, I stayed there for one year and six months. During six months I  learned Japanese language and culture. After that I spent one year writing my research about Japanese Educational System. I came back to Brazil in 1993.

In 1993 I visited Germany and there I could realize that German language was my favorite language, so I applied to a place at Westfalisch Muesnter University and after six months I was studying there. For two years and six months I learned German Language

Since 1996 when I went to Brazil I decided to be an English teacher. First I worked at Wizard, a private English course and at the same time I taught German and Japanese language at the Federal University of Teresina  as extra course. Also I did some projects to Tourism Department to show Brazil in Berlin, Germany.

Now I am working as an English teacher in a public school in Sao Jose, Santa Catarina. In June 2013, I got a scholarship to study in the United States, in Philadelphia. It is a specific program to English teachers.We stay at Drexel University for six weeks taking classes in the following subjects: Action research, Methodology, American Culture, Pronunciation, Interaction and new technologies.
