The learning experience that depicts this third course week consisted on the discussion of Aural/Oral skill-building websites, the creation of a delicious site and the discussion of a past sample project report.
Firstly,
the discussion of
Aural/Oral skill-building websites made us realize the abundance of good websites
focused on the teaching/learning of the listening and speaking skills. This
task has taught me where to look for good sites to reinforce my classes in the graduate
course “Teaching Language Skills”. I can
encourage my students to look for these sites and teach their learners the
right way to learn these skills. At the same time, my graduate students can
promote self- learning experiences by advising their students to use the
listening and speaking exercises to learn by their own the English language
following the instructions of the suggested exercises.
Secondly,
a very interesting and helpful assignment was the creation of a Delicious site.
This as well as Digg, Reddit, StumpleUpon, Newsvine, and Diigo are some social
bookmarking sites very useful to save important sites to support our classes. Learners
can post and share their favorite links by categorizing them through the use of
tags. In the same way, other users can also choose from other people's bookmarks,
add them in their own delicious site and share them again with other users.
Thirdly, the analysis and discussion of a past project
report constitutes a very helpful assignment for all the course members. By
means of this analysis and its discussion, we all might tackle our future
project reports from the point of view of an analyzer with a task experience in
which we are criticizing, in a good sense, a former report.
Once more, it
has been a great course week. It has also been so amazing to me. We are
finishing week three and I am looking forward to a more fascinating and learning
fourth week.
Thank you Courtney and
University of Oregon!
Warm regards!
