Hello.
I am an English speaker, and yet I stand before you speaking Spanish.
At least, I hope I am making sense in Spanish.
If I am successful in speaking Spanish to you today, it is because the Chilean students were able to teach me well.
If I fail, it’s their fault! : ) I’m just kidding of course!
There are many factors that impact whether or not students learn language.
And, that’s what we have spent our time talking about here:
How can we as teachers really make a difference?
How can we as teachers teach English so that our students really learn?
So, what have I learned, in addition to a little Spanish?
I have learned about the challenges that exist in the teaching of English in Chile.
I have brainstormed about ways to meet those challenges.
I have been changed by the experience and I thank you for that.
And you, the students, have been changed as well.
I can see changes in your use of technology.
I can see changes in the way that you think about the role of parents in schools.
I can see changes in the way that you think about the use of first languages.
As well as many others.
What we have done together is grow.
And, I expect that we will continue to do so as we stay in contact and help each other.
I wish all of you the best of luck.
I expect great things from you. Great things.
And so do your future students.
Thank you.

Hola.
Soy una hablante inglesa, sin embargo estoy ante ustedes hablando español.
O al menos espero tener sentido en español.
Si estoy hablando con éxito en español con ustedes el día de hoy, es porque los estudiantes chilenos fueron capaces de enseñarme bien.
Si no, es su culpa! :)
Estoy bromeando, por supuesto!
Existen muchos factores que afectan si los estudiantes aprender el idioma o no.
Y, es en esto en lo que hemos pasado el tiempo hablando aquí:
¿Cómo podemos nosotros como profesores realmente hacer una diferencia?
¿Cómo nosotros, como profesores de ingles, podermos enseñar para que nuestros estudiantes realmente aprendan?
Existen muchos factores que afectan si los estudiantes puedan o no aprender el idioma.
I think that in this way sounds better, I don´t know what the guys think about that. :P...
And you, the students, have been changed as well.
I can see changes in your use of technology.
I can see changes in the way that you think about the role of parents in schools.

As well as many others.
Y ustedes, los estudiantes, han cambiado tambien.
Puedo ver cambios en el uso de la tecnologia.
Puedo ver cambios en como ven el rol de los padres en las escuelas.
Puedo ver cambios en la manera de como ven el uso de la lengua nativa.
Como tambien muchos otros.
This is my contribution. I hope it works!

What I would change is:
If I fail, it’s their fault! : )
Si fallo, es culpa de ellos! :)

¿Qué he aprendido, además de un poquito de español? He aprendido sobre los desafíos que existen en la enseñanza del inglés en Chile. He pensado en maneras de enfrentar esos desafíos. He sido cambiada por la experiencia y les agradezco por eso.
I think that in the begining of the speech you should add some greetings to the important people in the audience.(like us, for example)
Instead of Hello (hola) I´d use Good morning everybody (Buenos dias a todos) or something like that.
Hello.
I am an English speaker, and yet I stand before you speaking Spanish.
At least, I hope I am making sense in Spanish.
Right. In stead of Hello you should say Good Morning or Good Afternoon.
Here I suggest some changes:
- Yo hablo inglés. pero estoy frente a ustedes hablando español.
Por lo menos, espero hacer sentido en Español.
Continuará...
