Learning Log
In the first week of school I
felt a little lost, and I had a long time not to bring subjects of English, I
have some difficulties to understand and respond, but it is important to
persevere and attend classes and practice vocabulary to learn to communicate in
the classroom with the teacher and classmates during class.
During the second week I
realized that it is necessary to listen to audio, watch videos and practice
grammar because the pronunciation of some words is difficult, teachers make a
very interactive class and that is good and different, peers are good people
and I have helped.
The third week of school was
interesting, the teacher makes us repeat words until you say correctly, we put
videos and conversations with colleagues of different issues, but the times are
a little tired and do not know much books but it will all right.
Week four could not go to
class, because I was not feeling well, but I hope this does not affect my
performance and get on with the course, the teacher left work and I have to
catch up and meet it.
Week Five: vocabulary
increases, I'm taking the advice of the teacher, I see fables in English,
movies, news, to sharpen my ear, subjects in class are interesting, classes are
long but entertaining, sometimes want to participate more in class but I forget
some words, I need to practice more.
Six Week, this week has been
very interactive, the teacher tries to keep us busy without getting bored,
vocabulary increases, group work is very interesting, every week you have to
add information to the blog of everything we do in class.
During the seven week we have
been working on the books in class, also the conversation has increased in the
group, we talk about different issues such as pollution, migrants, family,
inventions, survival and the teacher has been correcting our writing because we
make many grammatical errors.
Eight Week : Week eight, the course was
interesting, every weeks we do different activities with the class mates, for
example, this Friday we completed the books and we work in vocabulary and
pronunciation, next day we had to make a work about a place in Costa Rica, where
we can go to vacations, in my group we choose one vacation pack in Santa
Teresa´s beach in Cobano Puntarenas, in the Macarena’s hotel , this include three days and two night with
breakfast, lunch and dinner; Also we can do others things for distraction and
have a fun day, like a sport fishing, kayaking, scuba diving, ride horse on the
beach and see the spectacular sunset, where the sun fall slowly. This place is
beautiful and ideal to relax and breathe fresh air.
The teacher reviews the E-blog and said we
should add more information for this week.
Week nine: course has advanced quickly, we have been practicing
vocabulary and grammar, doing the exercises in the books, we talk much in class
and that makes us to talk more fluently, another week there are no classes, for
which Easter is celebrated and University closes, colleagues opened a group of
WhatsApp, want to organize a party to share probably when I finish the course.
Week ten, this week were much
practicing the pronunciation of some words in time past, and future, share
anecdotes among the companions and did internships in the books, also set out
important topics about technologies, important and risky jobs, also saw
interesting videos about inventions not very common and spectacular places to
visit.
This week
we have been practicing vocabulary and grammar fixes, we have made progress
with the work material and also practiced much in group, my colleagues are very
special, joke and make fun comments that makes the class interesting, the
Professor always surprises us with different activities, this week we share
personal experiences and made interesting comments on different issues like abortion,
abuse, human evolution, and could expose different points of view.
Week
twelve, fast-forward day, this week was quiet, we did some practice books and
we did quick reading activities and we also share opinions about different
topics Professor put some questions to Exchange answers, we did one practices
to strengthen vocabulary also saw grammatical forms and comparisons.
Week
thirteen, already missing little so you finish the semester, this week the
professor has put us to practice grammar and vocabulary, to translate from
Spanish to English and English to Spanish, to exhibit spontaneous cases to
practice for the final exam, because I feel nervous, I hope to pass the exam,
try to take advantage of the time remaining to practice what we have seen in
class.
Now only missing two weeks, to finish this
semester the days pass quickly when one is truly busy, I was not even aware,
these weeks have been quite hectic and the schedule is heavy, however they have
been beneficial, learning is good, the teacher is an excellent professional, I
would have liked carry the previous with the courses, surely would be best
bases and would be easier for me all, but good to take advantage of the time
remaining and practice..!
