1. I think my English skills are listening and speaking. I know it because I understand most of the information I hear and if I want to say something I find the way to say it with the words and grammar I have. I also think I'm good at grammar cause I usually know how to use it.
ResponderEliminar2. I'm weak at writing; to spell is difficult for me. To improve it I could write often and by the way I should read a little bit more.
3. Yes, I understand more grammar than I used to before this English course. We learned kind of sentences I had never used before. I used the link of embedded questions.
4. I usually watch TV in English, so I'm constantly working in my listening skills. But I have to say that is better when I speak in class because it is a conversation and it requires more from me to have one. Cause I'm using more English when I'm in class, yes I understand more now than before.
5. Yes, I found the way to express myself almost all the time. I use words I know and synonyms to do that.
6. Yes, I have. I won’t say I read faster but I don't feel so uncomfortable when I'm doing it.
7. Not really, I would have to write more than I do now. I have done all the activities until now.
8. I practice when I watch my favorite TV shows and movies (I love them in their original languages). I do it too with my sister, sometimes I help her with translations and stuff like that, we also talk to each other in English sometimes (like when we don't want other people to understand us, yes, we are mean).
9. To have a personal plan of work helped me to organize my time and the things I wanted to learn, to be focus on that activities.
10. Yes, I have worked on them. I really like to have so many useful links and activities in the blog, it helped me to have an idea of how to work on what I wanted.
11. Yes, I have worked on my project. I like to have a project with my classmates, teamwork skills are very important.
12. As I said at the beginning of this course, I wanted to have another kind of class, when I talk and actually share with my classmates and that is actually what I have done. So I really liked to have this experience, even more because I have learned some English and I have had fun.
13. I like the course, I’ve already said so. I like the methodology; everyone learning from everyone, talks and videos, I think an English class when we all talk and listen is a good class, the way we have to share with other people our knowledge and use our English skills all the time. The class is funny and I like to come and that is valuable.

2. I am weak at speaking and I think I should practice more to improve that, for example speaking with my friends in english and learn more vocabulary, to make my conversations more fluid.
3. I studied some grammar topics but i need to practice more that topics, in that way, the grammar will stay in my mind.
4. I understand very well all the listening homework and the class commentaries, I hope my listening improves more and more every day.
5. I can´t find the way to express myself orally when I forget a word, rarely I find a similar word in my mind and I try to make the person who listen to me, understand me.
6. I think I read very well and I have good pronunciation, with a little more vocabulary I hope that my reading looks improved.
7. My writing has improved a little more especially with grammar corrections and some vocabulary. I didn´t corrected the exercises, but I read the correction.
8. I read a lot of information that I like, like sports information, about food or architecture and I listen a lot of music in english.

13.
1. My principal English skill is the comprehensive skill of reading. I know it because through my career I have read many English text and that helped me to develop this skill.
ResponderEliminar2. Although my principal skill is Reading I must improve too many things related with it, in that way I’m weak at Grammar and Vocabulary; also I’m weak at Speaking (pronunciation), Writing and Listening.
I know that I’m not good at the production skills because it’s difficult to think in English and I don’t have enough vocabulary to do it. Listening is difficult because my ears are costumed to Spanish sounds for that reason I can’t understand English well.
I think the English strategies that we planned are good for improving my English. That strategies were:
1) For Grammar I will play Free Rice Grammar and use, in some cases, Ingles Mundial Page.
2) For listening I will use Learning English by Watching TV- Shows and Lyrics Training.
3) For vocabulary I will search for the unknown words in the monolingual dictionary
4) For speaking I think I can speak with myself or I can use sharetalk.com
The best way to learn another language is to practice.
3. Yes, before I only understand well present and past simple. Now I know other tenses and that help me for expanding my speech like present perfect, conditional, and several type of future.
4. Yes, all this semester I’ve been practicing Listening in class; it has helped me to get better my listening. But I still need to improve it. I need to perfect it.
5. No, orally not. When I can’t express myself talking in English I gesticulate or try to put words together but it works.
6. I haven’t advanced in my Reading. I think I read equal when I started the course. But, since my perspective my Reading isn’t wrong, I just need improve vocabulary.
7. My Writing is improving. The exercises of the blog are helping me to improve my reading and I always make the corrections of my mistakes.
8. Not much, sometimes I watch movies in English. The language skill that I practice a lot is Reading because all the books or information for my career came in English.
9. Yes, I have. All the activities have been useful and funny. I could learn new vocabulary and grammatical tips in English how the use of punctuation marks.
10. Yes, I have. Because they help me to improve my English and they are part of my activities class. I would be an irresponsible person if I didn’t work in those activities.
11. Yes, I have. I have been enjoyed it a lot, it was the first time that I created a blog and it have let me to understand many aspects of the selection process in an enterprise. I know it would help me when I present a job interview.
