To whom it may concern, My name is Daniel González Álvarez. I graduated with a degree in Hispanic Philology Degree, I then went on to do a master’s degree in teaching Spanish as Second Language, both were completed at the University of Seville. Later I completed a second master’s degree in Secondary School Teaching, Vocational and Language Teaching at the University Pablo de Olavide. I heard about the Spanish Language Teacher offer, for which I am deeply interested in, as I believe I could be the right person for the role. I have been interested in teaching Spanish as a second language from the beginning of my educational background, and I focused my studies towards it from the start, and still continue to do so. I can share my knowledge about everything related to Spanish language, because of, alongside my degree and my masters, I have deeply studied its grammar, phonetic, phonology, lexical system, etc., in addition to the variety of Spanish dialects, from the Iberian Peninsula to America. Besides this, I have knowledge about Spanish and Latin American literature, including about its culture and history from Spain and Latin America. Furthermore, in my masters I studied how to create my own materials to teach Spanish in subjects like “Planning and Elaboration of Didactic Units in the E/LE Class” or “IT at ELE Class. Audio-Visual Media and Virtual Classroom”, “Teaching Spanish Language and Literature in Secondary School”, etc. Also, I’m accredited as an official examiner of the DELE Spanish exams, so I can properly prepare the students to pass these exams. I have a lot of experience teaching Spanish as second language to different kinds of students, as you can see in my CV. In some of those jobs I had to organize and develop lessons based on my own materials for a whole course, so I am experienced in that field of teaching Spanish too. Alongside my working experience, I worked with Erasmus students and North American university students for whom I had to develop courses, workshops and one-to-one classes at university level. Two years ago I taught Spanish to AS and A2 level students in Winchester as a Spanish Language Assistant. My job as a Spanish Language Assistant focused on the arrangement, structure and delivery of Spanish conversational classes with both AS Level and A2 Level students i.e., aged 15-18. Besides, I assisted the students and provided individual practice sessions in preparation for their exams. At the same time, I kept a record of the students' work and liaised with both the teachers and the Head of the Spanish Language Department with regards to the progress made by the students along with their areas which required improvement. Finally, I also accompanied teachers and students on study trips in England and Spain. Recently I finished a Master’s Degree in Secondary School Teaching in Seville which gave me the chance to work as a Spanish Language and Literature Teacher in a public Spanish Secondary School and, at the same time and since then, I have been working as a Spanish Teacher with students from different nationalities, ages and Spanish proficiency. My abilities to work individually or in groups, my seriousness and my intent to teach in an enjoyable and dynamic way, are the most suitable attributes that I could carry out in the position I am applying for. Lastly, I must say that I would really appreciate the opportunity to work as a Spanish Teacher because I desire to keep working as a Spanish Teacher abroad and I think it would be a great opportunity to continue growing professionally in my field of expertise. I hope my profile fits for your requirements, and I hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards, Daniel González Álvarez

December 2013 This month, we join Bletchley Park historian Dr Joel Greenberg & AS Level history students from Milton Keynes College as they discover hidden treasures under The Mansion car park. Footings of what the Bletchley Park Trust believes were the first few wooden huts built at the outbreak of World War Two were found when the tarmac was removed. We find out what happened at a specially set-up monitoring station in the National Radio Centre at Bletchley Park, when AMSAT-UK launched FUNcube-1, a 10cm cubed satellite weighing less than a kilogram, over Russia. We have an exclusive interview with Professor’s Barry Cooper & Jack Copeland who spoke about some of the lesser known heroes of Bletchley Park at the day of sold-out talks, Codebreakers’ Legacy. They talk about the continuing interest in Alan Turing & what also what they think about the forthcoming film of his life. Yet again we have the honour of interviewing one of our Veterans. Cynthia Legge (nee Mould) was a Wren Bombe Operator based at Stanmore during WW2. She shares her recollections with us including blind dates, Doodlebugs & the job with tweezers she describes as hell on earth.

James Naughtie and readers talk to Jeanette Winterson about her breakthrough first novel Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, about a girl growing up in an Evangelical Christian group. This Spring Jeanette is celebrating twenty five years since the book was first published - the question the book has always raised is how much of it is autobiographical? Because there are distinct parallels, the main character is called Jeanette, she lives in the same kind of Northern mill town and had a similar story. Jeanette Winterson will be talking to James Naughtie and readers about how fact meets fiction, and how she looks at this book as a kind of cover story of her own life. Adopted into a Pentecostal family, the fictional Jeanette is brought up to be a missionary and encouraged to preach from an early age; but when she falls in love with another girl, she decides to leave her beloved community and her home. Jeanette explains how this event is not the point of the story, but pivotal to it. Now on the curriculum for English at AS Level, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is a warm and - perhaps surprisingly - very funny study of a girl setting out on her path in life.
