My english's experience in my manor was not that I expected 'cause I thought: "english 4 was being more difficult and hard, so I have to study more" but didn't happend as I thought. The study's method of Blogs, in my case, was not helpful because for me, writting is a skill that I developed so, when I saw the programm of english four and looked the activities: 13 blogs; was for me too much. The same case for the other skills: listening and reading, because when I was young, in my school and my private life, had so many activities that gave me a good base of English, one of them was this: in highschool, my english's teacher spoke all the clase in english, never in spanish, so you had to study and learn or you failes (I thing that is not a good way to learn but was very helpful) beside, I never listened spanish's music so my ears constantly were, and still are, listening english's words and stuff.
But, I have to say it, I'm not good speaking 'cause I’m little shy and I only spoke english in situations that I had to force it. For example, oral evaluation on highschool or givin' directions for turist, mostly of them north american.
So, If I have the chance to fix or do something in the programm, I'll recommend more oral activities or something that force us to practice speaking in english. In my case, My big dream, and duty, is speaking nice so I have to practice every day (no every day but three or four days for be honest) with a voice record for hear me and listen in what part I’m failing. I think if I do this all the next year, probably I may fix my common mistake and have a happy end, it mean, speaking english as good as I want.
In conclusions, when I'm outside of school or university, english was, is and will be a lenguage that I have to use every day because we live in a Globalizated world, where as we know, english is the official lenguage, so every stuff, every publicity advice, clothes marks and other things are in english and if you don't understand, sorry for this, but you are in disadventage and some people can use it for take advantage over you. English can be a tool or a weapon, all depends of the view an who use it.
I think the same. The University should make a few changes to the way that they are teaching us english
ResponderEliminarI think the best way to improve English speaking is to talk as much as possible! That's why I agree with you that the university's English program should give more focus on that aspect.
