First reflection: SIMCE (English)

 I THINK THAT THE SIMCE ENGLISH RESULTS ARE DUE TO DIFFERENT ASPECTS,
ONE IMPORTANT ASPECT COULD BE THE LACK OF INTEREST THAT MANY SCHOOLS HAVE WHEN TEACHING THIS SECOND LANGUGE,BECAUSE THEY FEEL IT IS DIFFICULT TO TEACH CLASSES WITH GREAT AMOUNT OF STUDENTS , ALSO STUDENTS WITH DIFFICULTIES IN SOME LEARNING AREAS.
ANOTHER ASPECT I BELIEVE IT IS IMPORTANT TO MENTION IS THE METHODOLOGY USED WHEN TEACHING ENGLISH,MOST OF THE TIME AND IN THE MAJORITY OF SCHOOLS ,THIS SECOND LANGUAGE IS TEACH FOCUSING THE OBJECTIVES IN THE GRAMATICAL ASPECT INSTEAD OF USING METHODOLOGIES CONCERNING  WITH THE ABILITY OF SPEAKING. AND THIS IS REALLY A PROBLEM
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO MOTIVATE OUR STUDENTS AND MAKE THEM FEEL RELAXED WHEN SPEAKING ENGLISH.,THEY HAVE TO FEEL FREE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES.
ONE ASPECT WE CAN NOT FORGET IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STATE-FUNDED SCHOOLS AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS.THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS NORMALY TEACH ENGLISH FROM KINDER , WHILE OTHER SCHOOLS TEACH ENGLISH FROM FIFTH GRADE
