Spanish term

ampliación y perfeccionamiento adecuado a las competencias

Spanish to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy Teacher Training Document
Teacher Training Document (Spanish, Argentina>English, UK)

Would this be along the lines of a "deeper and improved understanding (or level of preparation) which is appropriate to the areas of responsibility of teaching professionals".

If anyone has any additional suggestions or comments, I'd be interested to hear them.

Thanks very much in advance.

"Compete a la especialidad como Profesora en Nivel Medio y Superior de la Lengua Extranjera, en inglés, otorgándole incumbencia como indica el Estatuto Docente y sus Anexos referidos a Títulos, "comprendiendo las edades evolutivas correspondientes a dichos niveles.

Dándole una ampliación y perfeccionamiento adecuado a las competencias de los profesionales de las tareas docentes."

Reply re Neilmac Ha! Ha! Ha! I deal with this all the time! I come across weird-sounding word combinations sometimes and wonder what in the world they're talking about. I look it up in Google and there are a bunch of hits, and I have to look at a site or two or three ... to figure out what it really means! It's crazy. I think they don't really want people to understand what they're talking about; they want to sound important.

You would think that, being educators, writing about education, they would do so in a way that was immediately accesible and easy to understand for the lay reader. But no, they have to waffle on like this, jargonistically spouting their semi-opaque nonsense. And yes, I agree it would be along the lines of a "deeper and improved understanding (or level of preparation) etc etc". There must be a better way to word it, but having just spent the best part of my weekend on similar stuff, I'm afraid I've run out of inspiration. Good luck with it anyway :-)

...required/expected of educators

I think 'a broader and deeper understanding' may be an especially phrase on this context.

Oops: I meant to say, "...an especially useful phrase in this context"

Good luck, Ruth, and cheers from Kingston, Jamaica :-)
