  1. My first awareness was when I was second grade junior-high school student. My English class teacher of that year was very good teacher and I could understand easily. I don't interested in English class until I was first grade junior-high school student.

    I studied hard that year and I could get very good point that year's four English exam.
    When I got good point in exam, I felt very happy. This is why I like English.

    In this semester, I studied "English Writing Class" and I could change because I must use only English. This class, I must post blog and I must use only English i this blog. I must not use Japanese. So, I could change and I feel my skills of making English sentences are better than before my first time attending class. If I have an opportunity, I want to type English sentence again.

  2. In this semester, I became to be able to type faster than before. I couldn’t type only seeing keyboard, but I can type fast even if I don’t see keyboard. Though I see keyboard a little yet, but I can type much faster than before.

    Also, I learned many vocabulary and sentences by writing blog. I wrote many book reviews and essays. In the course of reading and writing them, I could learn many vocabulary and sentences I didn’t know before, and I could make use of them when I write new blogpost.

  3. I made my blog in the writing class and it can get a lot of comments. First, I got the comment from a stranger. I don’t know him but this comment agree with my hobbies. He likes music or my favorite singer too. I’m very glad when see it and response for the comment on next post. From then, he posts a comment once in a while. I don’t know his name or face yet but I feel I can get a new friend! So I think my CMC technology has changed.

    Also my English language and writing changed because I have to typing homework every week. It has to write more than 120 words each post. I like writing use the computer, but I don’t like using it for English typing. But I post it every week, my English language and writing skill was making steady progress.

I could write faster than before and I could write a lot of words. I feel contented about it.

  5. I think that I developed to type faster and write compositions in English faster. I had typing homework every week. It was hard for me, because I had to type at last 120 words in this semester. But I tried to type again and again, I could type faster than before. This semester’s my goal was to type over 15000 words in my blog. So I needed to type many words. To type over 15000 words, I thought to write many compositions. At first, I needed to long time to write compositions in English. Later, I could think the compositions faster than before. These activities developed my writing skills.

    In addition, through to use computer meditated communication, I could communicate with many people on Internet.

  6. In this semester, I learned about CMC technology and English language. First, I had to write more English words than former semester so I used many English words and I read many books. Second, I had to record in English and I had to do English central. This is my first experience. English central is very interesting for me. But sometimes I couldn’t record correctly. Then I asked my friends or my teachers so I could solve and learn.

  7. I learned various things in fall semester. For example, I learned how to write longer sentences, because in the Essays in fall semester, I wrote sentences longer than spring semester. I posted more posts than spring semester. Another thing I learned in fall semester is importance of comments, because I could improve and revise my essay due to the comments. They let me know mistakes in my blog, especially in essays, so I could correct the mistakes and my essays became better acquainted.

  8. I think my writing skill hasn’t changed in this semester. There’re several reasons why I think so. First of all I don’t know my “writing” was correct. Especially on the grammars and phrases. Teachers won’t tell me what was wrong except essays. I want to know where was wrong and what should be like on free writing. On free writing, you write whatever I want so writer will write or type as naturally as writing Japanese. If teachers tell me where were wrong and give some advice as native English speaker, we would improve our writing skills dramatically.

  9. I’ll talk about my developing awareness in this semester. We have to have high awareness before we begin to study English. This thing can say another study, for example, mathematic, Japanese and so on.

    In this semester, we had to post some essay, day life, book review and more. Then, we must use English languages and write 15000 words so we need more words, grammar and writing forth. Moreover, we have to use PC and many items so CMC technology was high. In addition, we received much e-mail from Mr. Tomei and Mr. Pabeaufait and we had to check all e-mail and finished some homework. I think that all homework made me typing quickly and CMC technology became high. I can do it more than spring semester.

  10. Before last year, I don’t like writing English. Because of I couldn’t write good sentence and I didn’t know enough English words to write good sentence. However, I had to many English sentences on this class. First, I couldn’t sentence well. In addition, I needed huge time to write sentence. I disliked writing. I changed my way of thinking. When I don’t know English word. I look over it. If I want to write better sentence, I write things that I want to write. They are natural things, but I couldn’t do them. Now, I can do them, so they were correct for me, I think. In fact, I can write English sentence better than before.

  11. I think that I could get down to my blog, because spring semester I couldn’t knock myself out. First, I enjoyed thinking theme of my essay. It is difficult to structure contents. In addition, I have to try that the readers feel easy to read and understand. While I awake to those things, I seemed to gradually control of my way. I think that it is important to writing my opinion to someone. Blog is the convenient tool to show my opinion, and reader gives response to me to my essays. It connected my drive. Finally, I think more get my computer skills.

  12. I think learners should write about a lot of things in English everyday because it is very effective and importable for study English. I wrote about various things in this semester so I think I could writer than last semester in English To write in English is best way to learn English and I think to make contact with foreign people. I made contact with an American on the CMC technology. She taught me about English grammar, American culture and so on. I think it was very great experience. It made me that want to learn English more. Last semester was I didn’t make contact so I didn’t know about foreign culture. But this semester I could it so I think to make foreign friends is good way to learn English.

  14. Good ways to learn for learners use computers, read English books or comics, write in English, listen to music and chat to foreigners. I think we have many choices to learn. I recommend talking in English. It is the best way. I changed my awareness after this semester. CMC technology made me good my life. I tell you the reasons from now. I could become type fast in English little by little. Moreover I started to communicate to my host family with E-mails. We can spread our awareness with CMC technology.

  15. I think that most important for learners are learning a lot of English words. I think that most important thing is basis. If learners can’t understand English words, they can’t communicate with another people. If learner can understand English words’ mean, they can communicate with another people and they may learn a lot of another things.
    I learned many English words through this class, so my English vocabulary is grow up. So I must learn more English words.

  18. I think learners should be expose to English. For example, learners learn CMC technology through blogs because probably many people watch blogs and some people comment in blogs. If Learners have chances, they should talk with native speakers in English and writing English in blog and so on. I think writing and speaking English are need to learners because I acquired writing skill in writing class because I wrote essay, book reviews and so on.
