This week's discussions were focused mainly on reading and writing , grammar and vocabulary. Three sites that I found of great interest are : ESL Independent Study, Lauri's ESL web site and From Many Interesting Things for ESL Students. They offer a good number of wonderful resources that are worth a try ! Of course, any time I can I add some to my delicious site .
Sharing common issues with my classmates in relation to language teaching and learning was also enriching. Despite our culture differences most of us do share the same problems such as lack of motivation, poor writing and reading skills.
Planning a technology enhanced lesson was also challenging, a bit time consuming though. Reading some of my classmates lesson plans made me think of new ideas to apply in my own lessons.
The thread for this week made me reflect upon the need to further reinforce writing and speaking using technology and think of some of the tools I may use for that purpose... Thinking ahead in my future project.
Hi Cecilia
ReplyDeleteI like how you comment on reading the lesson plans of your peers. The point of adding tasks like the TELPs to the discussion board is so that we can benefit from reading and thinking about each others work. Nice point.
