At last,
the end of the semester is coming and a final reflection is necessary.
Along with
my classmates, I have done a lot of work in this course during this semester.
We were trying to improve our pronunciation, our vocabulary and our fluency
while speaking. And I believe we accomplished most of these goals. In my
experience, I am very flattered to have obtained an acknowledgement for my
effort.
The
assignments for the class were very innovative, forcing ourselves to awaken the
creative side of our minds. Nevertheless, many activities were time consuming
and perhaps that is why many of my classmates didn’t hand in some of them. In a
certain way and for the same reason, I also struggled a little bit to finish my
other subject’s homework and this course’s activities.
I would
suggest that a significant number of assignments were planned to be done during
the time of the class, taking more into consideration how much time it gets us
to finish a particular activity.
I enjoyed
some activities and I really found them highly interactive; but our group was
difficult and sometimes an atmosphere of “I don’t want to do anything” reigned
the class; therefore, my advice is to plan a strategy to catch more the attention
of a group when it turns out to be problematic.
On the
other hand, I really appreciate how much effort was put into using as many
tools as possible, providing us with apps, tips, formats and programs that
helped us improve our English, our efficiency, our way of learning and relating
to others, specially to foreigners.
Mrs.
Toledo, thank you for your enthusiasm.
