Please post an individual response to item one, Developing Language Awareness (Writing III: Exam Items (2009), slide 4), in a single comment on this post.
We have learned various languages. And we always speak some languages. I think that we ought to communication with a lot of people to heighten our spoken language.
In writing III class, I could develop my English ability. Before I take this class, I was not able to make sentences soon. In addition, I could improve my typing ability because I had to do typing speed homework. My own blog made my writing ability high. If it were not, I couldn’t write nice sentences.
My major is English, so I would like to use English and other languages fluently. If I cannot use languages more, there is no meaning that I am here. So I have to study more from now to improve my language ability. By the way, I am going to study in Canada from September. I’ll go there as an exchange student and I would like to study English hard. I will be able to develop my language ability. In Canada, I will also take writing class. I am looking forward to that class. I would like to make use of things which I learned in this class.
I am aware of my English has changed this semester. Because I couldn’t write English much, but now I think I became to be able to write more English than last semester. I often used personal computer in this class, so I can type faster than before. It is very good thing, I think. Thanks to it, I became to write more English sentences.
I was not good at writing essays but I had to write some essays. So now I can write essays. I think this class is very useful for me.
I think, I could heighten awareness of the languages. I had not written English a lot like this semester.
This semester, I had a lot of homework about writing, so I had to write a lot of English and many kinds of things. For example, I read 12 books and write my opinion about books, I wrote a letter for my host family, I wrote about university life and I watched movie “Lilo & Stitch” and I wrote about it. Other, I wrote my diaries and about my friends, and so on. I did typing homework too. I could do these things in this semester, because I could heighten awareness of the languages.
I think that I could heightened awareness of language, because we made or wrote many essays and sentences in writing class. It is important to develop the skill of English. What’s more, we read other’s blog or essays so we could also learn develop skill and understanding.
For example, after I read other’s blog, we think various things. I can comment to our friends. Vice versa, I take advise from others so I can rewrite better.
Blog can always communicate with others so I repair my blog soon. I learned how to write essay.
I could develop my English skill in Writing III class. I did not write blog in English and book reviews before. I wrote essays, diary and book reviews in my blog, so I could know a lot of idiom, words that I did not know before.
In addition, I improved my typing skill because I did my typing homework. I could type in English early through the typing homework. However, I typed after I thought and wrote sentences at first. So I want to be typing as think and write sentences next semester.
My awareness of English language has changed this semester. When I wrote my thoughts in English on my blog, I tried to write English correctly in grammar. That’s because I thought some unspecified people read my writings. I also tried to use idiomatic English. I’ve never had an experience that my English writings were read by unspecified people and it encouraged me to write English carefully. I think students can learn real communication in English making comments on their blogs each other. I feel students could enhance their thinking skills when they speak English not only when they write English. Making comments is a kind of conversation.
I think that my awareness of the English language has changed this semester. I have two reasons.
First, I can write many things now, though I hate writing last year. I had to write many blog this semester, so I am used to write some things. Then, I can enjoy writing English now.
Second, I like reading books in English now, though I hate reading books. I didn’t like reading because I felt sleepy in reading books before. Then, I didn’t think that reading book is not fun. However, I feel fun when I read books. I am interested in expression of English. And then, I can know the life style in America or England through reading books.
This semester, through this blog, I learned about many languages. Because, when I was writing the blog, I had a lot of experience that I wanted to explain many things, but I did not knowing how I explain. So that times, I had to use a dictionary. Using dictionary, I learned many words.
I think about that, paper dictionary is more useful than electron dictionary, because, paper dictionary is written a lot of words on this page, so we can learned many words that we had would not like to looked up a word in a dictionary. In addition, we can mark if you use a paper dictionary. That is our sight are called on by marked words. So paper dictionary make our brain big!! Then, when I exist in my house, I use a paper dictionary as possible.
Writing this blog, gave me many chances about use a dictionary. I recommend that if you learn or writing English, you use better a paper dictionary.
I learned to write my opinion in English. At first I thought it was easy to write my opinion in English. But it was very difficult to write my opinion in English because I don’t know many grammars to write my opinion. Then my awareness of the English language has changed. I thought to write much opinion in English was good practice to write and insist my opinion. My awareness of the English language was changed so.
We have learned various languages. And we always speak some languages. I think that we ought to communication with a lot of people to heighten our spoken language. I made and commented on my blog almost always in this semester. Then I learned a lot of things. For instance, I knew it again that it is very important for me to use English words frequently, and I thought that I had to renew my own blog to develop my capability of English or language.
To learn language is difficult for us, but I think to use language is best practice. If I want to learn English, I have to use English in our life. Then I think communication is important. Actually, I can speak English better than when I was freshman. I did effort to awareness my English language. For example, I speak a lot of friends in English, and I wrote a lot of sentence in the class. The other thing, I learn some words on the Internet. I think it is important for me.
My awareness of the English language has changed this semester because there were a lot of things I knew for the first time this semester. For example, I did not know how to use verb, adjective and adverb in sentences. But I was taught when I use these things in sentences, when I write in English. So I thought learning how to use these things are important. Moreover I could write essays, my opinions and feelings in English long. I could not write long before. I thought it is good for me to write long essay, opinions, feelings.
We had to write many English in this semester. These were typing homework, blog and so on. It was difficult for me to write a long sentence in English. But, I became to be able to write, so these things are very good experiences for me. I will do my best next semester!!
I study English since junior high school days. I didn’t like studying English before, but I was interested in English when I was high school student. So I thought that I want to study more English in university. Then I learned English when I was freshman. And I learn English language. For example, I learn it in class of Writing, Speaking, Reading and Listening. It is very difficult for me to learn English language. But I think that it is important for me to it. So I want to learn more English language from now on.
My English have changed practically. I had studied it for 8 years to pass exams, so I couldn’t communicate with native English speaker well. I always talked to them over thought grammar. However, in this semester, I studied English for communication via try speak and write the blog. For example I participated fresh men camp, party at foreign students’ dormitory and visit English lounge. In my opinion, it is a good way to speak English every day. Sometime foreigner spoken phrases I don’t know, but they were practical. I have mimic to use them soon. Not only speaking, I wrote English on my blog. It is like a journal. I enjoyed put the blog, and I wrote always. In this semester, I have used English every day. I feel that it has changed my English.
I learn English language. I wrote many words in English in this semester. For example, I wrote in my blog almost everyday, and I wrote about ten thousand words. First, it was difficult for me to write many English sentences. I can’t write it enough and didn’t have any confidence in my English, but I can write an English sentence better now. Writing English is good for me. I think learning language is important. So I will study English harder.
I could improve my English skills in this semester.
First, when I write the blogs, I always use my electronic dictionary or the online dictionary to know some new words or new collocations that I don’t know. For example, “happen” is a synonym for “take place”. I didn’t know that so I could know new words like them. Then I could learn a lot of new words and improve my English vocabulary in this class.
Secondly, I think I could improve my English conversation skills, because when I talk to Mr. Beaufait I have to take brains to talk something. He is a native speaker so his speaking is fast and uses natural English expression. I had to listened his speaking really carefully.
I wrote my blog every day, then I read English book and wrote book review. It is hard for me to use it every day. But I could learn many words, English grammar and how to write essays. I think that using English language is important for heightening my awareness. I want to study hard English next semester.
I want to explain about awareness of the English language has changed this semester.
First of all, I think English is very difficult for me, but I think not so difficult now, because, I read many books write in English this semester. Books teach me about many grammar and words. And then I post on the blog, book reviews.
Next, blog is very important. I am very weak in English, but I like English. I am weak Writing in particular. But I have to write about various things this semester. So I think again that English in very interesting.
I think that the best way for language learners is to have opportunities to use the languages as many as possible. People are afraid of having mistakes when they speak or write the languages that they are learning but they should not think about that.
I suggest that to make a lot of opportunity, language learners should communicate with many foreigners. To improve writing skill, they should have their own blogs like us and keep diaries everyday. To improve speaking skill, they should make lots of friends from foreign countries. I have written a lot of diaries and made many friends in this semester, I became to have much fun. Then, peoples’ skills of languages will become better little by little.
1,About Developing Awareness My awareness of English has changed in this semester. I had thought that just studying English was important, but it was not. I learned using English is sometimes more important than learning. Through studying in Writing III classes, I was blogging and communicating with my classmates. It is good for me to use blogger to improve my English because commenting function can know different opinion. I think using English is very important and English is one of the tools of communication.
2,About Facing challenges I have faced challenges in CMC. I couldn’t use the computer at the first time, so typing and blogging homework was very difficult for me. However, through using computer, I gradually got used to use computer and typing speed also got faster and faster. Although I’m not good at using computer now, I can use computer more convenient and faster than before. Before this semester, my typing speed was forty words per five minutes, but now, I can type 100 words per five minutes.
3,About Achieving Satisfaction I think Writing online suit my personal learning because there were some goals in this writing class. In my life, I had been studying and practicing through aiming to some goals. When I had my goal, I could improve myself and it was good motivation to study. I like making effort, so this writing class is suit my personal leaning. However, I have one problem. The problem is that I’m not good at keeping anything everyday, so I couldn’t write blog so much. Keeping something is very difficult for me, so I need the skill of keeping from now on. Then I’ll be able to improve my computer skills and my English.
