Each new course is a new experience, new people, new teacher and new his way to teach.
In the first class of this course, I wrote three general goals, three general things that I hoped to obtain at the end. My three goals were:
1) Increase my English Level.
2) Learn a lot of things which help me to obtain a good score in TOIC.
3) Enjoy the course.
Today, in the last week of the course, I want to write some ideas about it in order to answer your questions.
a) Did you get everything out of the class that you hoped to get out of it?
I enjoyed the course. I learned a lot of new things that will help me in my goal to improve my English level. That is so good for me.
I want to be honest, during the first two classes, I didn’t feel good, but some things changed and my bad feelings changed too.
b) What activities or concepts did you enjoy, and what could have been done better?
I really enjoyed the round tables and the discussions around these. I like to work with the Blog is a new way for me and is interesting.
Sometimes, prepared papers is not an funny activity, mainly when there isn’t a big discussion or deep conversations related with these.
c) Did you contribute everything that you had planned to?
I think I could contribute more than I did, but I think I contribute in a very good way in class.
I tried to participated and give my opinions about the different topics. I tried to be important part in the different role plays and presentations in front of the class
d) What did you do well in terms of your interactions with the group, and what could you have done better?
Being honest, I had some problems to interact in a good way with some of my new classmates. I think that the new group wasn’t what I hoped. But today, at the end of course, I confess I knew some new and good people and I interacted with these people in a very good way.
I think I need to study much that I did. But I tried to did my effort every Saturday to practice and improve my English interacting with my classmates and doing the exercises in class.
Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested to hear what made those first two weeks uncomfortable, and what changed to make the remaining weeks better. If you'd rather not say it in public, you can also send me an email (even if it's about me or my teaching... I'd be happy to hear any sort of constructive criticism).
See you tomorrow,
Ryan
