  1. I feel I improved my English language ability in this semester. Reading books made me better, because I searched words that I don't know. Thanks to that, I remembered some words. Also, even when I post free writing, I searched words. So searching made me developed.

  2. I think I type faster than before, and I'd say I did improve my English writing skill. That's all because of I kept posting something in English on my blog. I have never had my own blog before, because I am too lazy. But once I started to posting, I found it fun. And reading books in English for book reviews also helped me to improve my reading skill.

  3. My awareness has changed in this semester. To write diaries and essays and book reviews heighten my awareness of English. This is because many people in my class view my blog. So I think that I have to write correctly grammar and spelling. And when I view other student’s blog, I learn expressions of them in English.

  4. In this semester, I think my English has changed a little bit. How my English has changed is that sentence became longer than before. I could write in one sentence using “,” or some other grammar. That’s because I did essays and routine posts until I reached to 10,000 words and keep writing in English. If you see my blog posts, you can find that my sentence became longer than very first post in February.

  5. I think English grammar is so difficult when I express my thought and feeling. I think it is unnatural to use difficult grammar. I used my grammar in my English ability.
    And I knew composing with some paragraphs. I understand paragraphs are very important.

  6. I study English. I aware that English we learned at Japanese school is different from English native speakers use. If our grammar is correct, but native speakers sometimes can't understand. That is why we should see English movies and talk with native speakers and so on... in addition to we should write things with English a lot. In the spring semester, I keep my diary, write book reviews and practice typing in English. Thanks to this, I can write long sentences.

  8. My English language has changed. I could not take all writing classes, but the writing class was interesting for me. The teacher seldom spoke in Japanese, so I took this class as if I were in American school. It was difficult for me to understand him. But, to try to figure out him, it connect to developing my English.

I like to write English so I often write letters to my friends. I want to send letters to foreign student someday. Second, I couldn’t read books written in English. But I really like to read them now. I could learn reading skill.

  10. I think my expressive power is developing. When I talked with some exchange students, I was always negative, because I’m not sure that I can express well. Since I started to write the blog, I used the many phrases, so I can express more by writing blog, so I can talked them more than I used to be.

  12. I don’t have high awareness. But I spend this semester, I think I have to do more study English so hard. I don’t have English ability. So I have to work on English. I don’t know some words, so I can’t post soon. I will have to do more study word so hard and I will post free writing everyday. I want to look for how to learn English well.

  17. I think language learners have to get many chances to touch the language. In fact, I kept my blog this semester. I touch the English more. I felt English is close. So I think language learners learn best with heightened awareness of language is chances to touch the language.
    I changed awareness of English language. I like English. But I studied about grammar, listening and speaking. I didn’t often explain my idea in English. At first, it’s very difficult for me to do that. But now I could do better in April. I could enjoy explaining my idea in English.
