About the Major

The Pedagogy of National and Foreign Languages program plays a vital role in preparing highly qualified professionals in language education. Through a comprehensive approach, future educators develop linguistic, pedagogical, and cultural competencies that empower them to teach English effectively and meaningfully. This training not only ensures language mastery but also, equips teachers with diverse methodologies to adapt lessons to students' needs. As graduates, they become essential contributors to educational development, supporting learners with the skills to communicate in a globalized world and make a lasting, positive impact on future generations.

Inspiring Stories

I chose to major in Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros because I have always excelled in English since my school years, and I knew I had to make the most of that strength. My main inspiration for becoming a teacher is to teach in the way I would have liked to be taught — with clarity, patience, and inclusivity — ensuring that every student can learn at their own pace. I decided to study at Universidad del Azuay because I was confident in the high academic standards and quality education it offers.

I’ve always dreamed of becoming an English teacher ever since I saw my family and friends communicating in another language. I chose UDA because it’s a prestigious institution, and I’m determined to put in the effort to become a skilled and accomplished professional.

Hi, I’m Nahia. I’ve always wanted to be an English teacher, and I chose to study at UDA because the curriculum offered exactly what I needed to become the best educator I can be. It includes a wide range of subjects that I believe are essential for my growth as a teacher. My passion for teaching comes from inspiring role models in my life, and in the future, I hope to be a teacher who students trust and remember with fondness—a teacher who truly understands them and supports their growth with patience and motivation.

I've been fascinated by the English language since I was 9 years old. It was always my favorite subject in school, and I took the initiative to teach myself in my free time. I've visited the United States a couple of times, where I became even more captivated by how English connects me—an Ecuadorian—to people from all over the world. This experience inspired me to teach others and share the incredible opportunities the language offers. I chose UDA because I believe the knowledge I’ll gain will enrich my teaching approach in creative and impactful ways, while also helping me grow as a professional.
