Listening C2 (I spent less time than the first time).
- Have you advanced in your language learning?
I think I learned more vocabulary and pronunciation than other things, for example, I know I have to keep studying about grammar and the structure and form of sentences, but this course launched me to write and speak more fluent, because I did not dare to do it without a dictionary or a translator in the past and I think the practice is better to learn grammar than a book, I spent a lot of time studying in that way when I was at school and I did not learn, so this course gave me the tools to do it.
- How do you feel now?
I feel good and bad at the same time. I feel good because I have advanced in my English, but I feel bad because I don’t know as long as I should, but also I know I am going to learn practicing by myself.
On the other hand, I feel I can make myself understood although I don’t speak in the right way.
- Do you think you achieved the objectives you had with this course? / Were your expectations satisfied?
Honestly, I had no expectations about the course at the beginning, I just wanted to pass it to learn other language; furthermore, I thought that I wasn’t so bad in English, so I was surprised with the course.
- Do you deserve to pass this level? yes/no why?
To answer this question I have to know what the requirement to pass the level is, fulfill the tasks or have advanced. On one side, I was not the best student because the time or laziness but I did the majority of tasks (including the classwork) with the best purpose, and on the other hand, I advanced a lot in comparison to myself but a little bit in comparison to the level in which I want to be (but I want to keep studying by myself).
My dear Susana, certainly you were a challenge for me, every time I expected being approved I saw you becuase I knew you were analyzing me and thinking deeply. You have a very sharp mind, you are critical and assertive. My suggestion for you is to be more confident, you know but you behave like you don't know or you underestimate what you know. You have a terrific pronunciation and I am sure that if you dedicate a little bit more to study English, you will achieve a very good level! you did a great job in your project and you advanced in your writing, congratulations!

I Know that the develop of the course has been very interesting for me
like to my classmates, but the principal question for me is : Has had
the course a good influence to me?. Yeah!, of course. I have learned
new things about English like: pronunciation of the verbs in simple
past, the order of the sentences and the grammar, listening, this
topic was one of the intentions to learn for me now I listen with
more clearly and this is very important. Other thing is that my vocabulary
now is bigger, I can talk with more words, but here I have a
problem, when I will write in English I think in English but when I will speak in public or with a person, I don't think in English
but I have worked in this and now I intento speak in public (with some
mistakes).
I feel that I have learned in this course, but the work in house too is important beacuse I did all the activities, personal plan of work,
games and tests. Also I have been studying with my girl friend, we speak in English when we are eating or walking on the street, she
learned me some topics and she explained me how the use of the auxiliar (do
and does), really I was studying many things with her.
Do I deserve to pass this level? Yes, I do, because I have worked with the idea
of I to learn English and I did my better effort to learn.
I agree with you Daniel, you deserve to pass this level because you were dedicated and always showed a big interest in learning, congratulations! I am sure that you will achieve a great level of English if you continue working on your skills. Please, congratulate your girlfriend, I also think she has done a good job helping you :)

Have you advanced in your language learning? The results of the tests are not very different, but anyways I think I have advanced because before this, I didn´t use to think of nouns, pronouns, adjetives, verbs and all these things when I was reading, listening and eve speaking, and now I do and I clearly recognize the parts of speech.
How do you feel now? I feel really great because I enjoyed this curse at all, I liked my partners and the teacher, every Wednesday and Friday I was really excited for having my English class.
Do you think you achieved the objectives you had with this course? My main objective at the beggining of this course was to be more fluent, and I think I have reached it, not at all, but I have advanced and in order to be fluent at all I will try to keep learning and practising.
Were your expectations satisfied? Truly, I didn't have high expectations with this course, I though it was going to be boring, easy, but now I see it is not how I though, Ihad so much fun and it was not easy, I had to work hard and I am so sorry I couldn't spend the time it deserves.
Do you deserve to pass this level? yes/no why? I think I deserve to pass because although I have not the better English in town, I think I have learned and advanced a lot, and the most important thing I learned here is that I cannot learn English just with courses, I have to put my effort in it and I have to practise as much as I can.
You are right Vanesa! it is only with practice and study that we can improve all our skills. I think you did a good job in class, you were always willing to participate and it was remarkable that you enjoyed every single class, thanks for that :)
EliminarHowever it was a little disappointment your lack of commitment in some activities, specially with the project, I was really expecting more from you because you could have done a much better job and helped your classmates :( anyways that was your decision!

i think i've been moving forward despite somo times i don´t have the best attitude in the class.Lately i´ve notice improvements on my listening and vocabulary, now i understand more words and know it´s meaning.
ResponderEliminarI feel much better dispite the failures but with effort and dedication everything will be better. because this isn´t the end.
i´ve reach some of my goal which were understand the language and learn some new words and it´s meaning.
I think that everyday the teacher is doing his best so we can understand and learn all the topics.this gives ud the chance to get our expectations done.
Well Jarry! certainly you weren't a dedicated student and it is a shame because this is something that only goes against you, nobody else!
EliminarBut I also have to recognize that at the end of the course you showed a suddenly interest and you surprised me with your honesty :) thanks for that Jarry!
Remember that the only person that wins learning another language is YOU!
You pass this course with a low grade!

Luis Sanchez
ResponderEliminarHave you advanced in your language learning?
I think now I have a better level of English, because now I have more tools for my reading and listening; and improve in my writing and my speaking
How do you feel now?
I feel well in English. I think I can understand English better. Now I can see and read "series" and "scientific papers" or books in English in an easy way. I feel I don’t give all that I want to the English course. The weight of other classes and the time that all classes need ; makes me to give less time to the English course, normally the homework in the blogs, I only see but don’t do it . I think a good idea for give more time to the English courses is that this course will be given "Intersemestrales".
Do you think you achieved the Objectives You Had With this course?
Yes. Now I have the tools to continue my individual study of English and other languages.
Were your expectations satisfied?
Yes. Again the teacher and the classes were the highest level.
I think that in this course I improve very much my English language knowledge in all the aspects as the speaking, writing, listening, etc…
ResponderEliminarIt was a very cool course for me because I could to learn English while I was distracted from my other courses.
Even though my English doesn’t perfect, I feel that in this moment my English is better, at least better than the begin of the course.
I feel that i really achieved my objectives with this course. It was a good way to liven up myself to continue studying english.
I think that I deserve to pass this level because I did every task, activities, homeworks, and work proposals that the teacher give to us. (Except the 4th Personal Plan of Work, sorry ). In the project I helped very much to my partners and I was helpful with the project. I was present on all the classes, except one. And the most important thing, because I learned English.
