Hi,
One
more exciting week with a lot of new eye-opening discoveries is coming to end. I
am glad I could manage my time to fulfill all the assignments in time.
I would like to thank all my dear group mates for sharing their ideas,
opinions and links. It takes a lot of time to explore all the links in a short
period of time , so I think I will do it gradually and add links to my
Delicious time by time. This week gave me one more opportunity to find a great
deal of fantastic links which I am going to use in my teaching! Another thing
that made this week fruitful is reading the final reports. At last, I have a
whole picture of what is going to be the result of the course (besides all the
other beautiful things that we are getting during the course) . I see, it is
going to be a hard work, but it‘s worth it!
Along with the Delicious and final reports I read two
articles with a great pleasure this week .They are Developing Listening Skills
with Authentic Materials by Lindsay Miller and The Employment of CALL in
Teaching Second/Foreign Language Speaking Skills by Julia Gong. These articles
focus on Listening, Speaking and Pronunciation. Moreover, I was happy to
see my mates’ opinions on these articles. Yes, it is inevitable that technology
comes to our every day lessons. It is a demand of time. And I hope, I will be
able to update my knowledge on using technology upon completion of the course!
Best,
Samarat
