Blog 8: English Language Challenges
Hi all!!
Today is your last blog post! Congratulations you made it hahaha! So today you are going to talk about your experience learning English at university and the use of blogs.
Please, please be honest so we can know how to improve as teachers and as an English Program.
I have to say that I really enjoyed being your teacher this semester and I hope you enjoyed and learned a lot in my classes as much as I did.
During the course, I tried to promote the use of English 100% of the time (even though many of you still refuse <_<) and I also made sure to practice the four skills: listening, writing, reading, and speaking. I can honestly say that many of you have improved since your first video. I know that it was a big challenge to have online classes, but we I think we did a decent job!
Regard the content of the class, as you noticed, we always saw things that had important social or political content. This is because for me it is important to show students a different reality and hopefully so you can realize that changing reality is not only possible, but necessary.
We read various writers like Olive Senior, Christian Campbell, Jamaica Kincaid, and Michelle Cliff. I hope you enjoyed reading them.
An important point I want to make is that English is not just USA or England. That's why in class we read texts from Jamaica or Barbados where English is spoken.
Remember that practice makes perfect and therefore it is very important that you continue practicing English outside of class. There are many ways to do this: listening to music in English, watching movies and series in English with subtitles in English, and reading in English.
> What comments can you make about your experience learning English at university? What about the use of blogs?
> What aspects of your English need to be improved and how do you plan to do this?
> Outside the English class, how much are you using English these days? What for?

ResponderBorrarThanks a lot for your classes! I enjoyed them and learned more. To me, the more difficult part of the course was the group dynamics, because the online modality made the atmosphere more uncomfortable. But for being a online english course it was pretty good <3
