Published Aug 27, 2026 · via El Nuevo Día

A teacher at the Escuela Especializada en Idiomas Alcides Figueroa in Añasco, Javier R. Hernández, participated in a 'batalla de aura' with his students, a viral social media trend that involves projecting security, carisma, and style through actions and gestures.

The teacher, who teaches in the school's Idiomas Extranjeros, Cinematografía y Teatro department, shared his experience on social media, saying he didn't fully understand the concept but enjoyed the opportunity to connect with his students. The term 'farmear aura' combines 'farmear', from video games, with 'aura', referring to personal presence and energy.

Hernández's participation in the game allowed him to share in his students' culture and connect with them on a different level. The experience was a success, with the teacher celebrating his first 'batalla de aura' win and sharing his joy with his students.
