Week 3 reflection

Hello to all!
Ouph! Time is running. Week 3 already finished but it was a worky one.

I hope that I finally find the right way to update my blog.  I struggled more than a whole week to succeed. And this is part of technology I think.

Now to come up with the week blog firstly I read the different resources for reading assigned to us:  Aural/Oral Skills, Teaching Listening Skills, The Employment of CALL in Teaching Second/Foreign language Skills by Julia Gong.
I also visited some English Learning sites. All of these in a peak priod of school activities: tests, marking, planning lessons, extra school activities, etc.
This week I posted the discussions, discovered Delicious for the first time, read and commented on a Sample project report. This one inspires me and I hope this model will help me in my final project.

What I learned this week is considerable. Through the reading I learned that there are many ways to help students or learners improve their listening skills. For example by giving them some techniques. There are also resources for teachers mainly through the use of CALL. The use of CALL creates new Learning environment and motivation for learners.

The way materials are presented is very helpful in teaching.. we can use the sites to plan our lessons, to find exercises for students. And concerning technology the example of the use of e-mails, nicenet, Skype in the sample project report can be exploited to introduce technology for teaching purpose where internet and other related equipments are available. But where technology is not available other techniques can be thought of.
