Evert's dedication to teaching earned him the prestigious award for Best English Teacher at Canadian College Bogotá, where he is celebrated for his engaging and dynamic Teaching method. Through his writing and teaching, Evert continues to inspire students and readers alike with his creativity and passion for language.

Biography

Evert has ventured into the world of foreign languages, implementing a method established in Germany and France during the 21st century. The direct method (Metodo directo) in Spanish language aims to develop communicative skills in the second language in Colombia in accordance with parameters set by the Ministry of National Education (Colombia) and basic competency standards.

Career

After graduating from Fidel Leon Triana college, he enrolled at Universidad El Bosque in Bogotá, where he pursued higher education in bilingual education. He began publishing educational articles and eventually devoted himself to writing alongside teaching.

He worked as an educator in Bogotá, in various private institutions, and also engaged in private teaching. In 2020, González published his first novel, A Wish, a Thousand Tears. He has combined his teaching career with literature and collaborated with students on educational projects related to English.

The methodology he has promoted over the years for teaching languages emphasizes establishing a direct and immediate visual association between experience and speaking , between words, idioms, and their Physical therapy or bodily representation, without relying on the students' mother tongue. This method, categorized among natural methods, is one of the most widespread. However, it presents a challenge for teachers in these disciplines, partly because it is a goal of the National Bilingualism Program and also because Colombia faces challenges in mastering this language.

Works

In his career as a writer and author, González has developed stories based on The Real Story of Stone Soup, blending elements of the Non-fiction genre, as in his work The Reversal of Death, which explores the experiences of people confined by a virus in different ways, referencing COVID-19. The Social Circle, delves into human monotony and the environments they inhabit, sharing the title with one of his books. His work Footprints Beyond the Firmament reflects on humanity's existence on Earth and the aftermath of its extinction. In Homeless and Just, González examines the notion of legacy and human actions, with the novel featured in the National Contest Journal, held in Medellín, Colombia, and organized by the chamber of commerce in collaboration with Penguin Random House Colombia.
