Can a blog teach us English?

Semester doing blogs has been an interesting experience. Not so much for what it taught me in English (if it's true that it serves to exercise grammar, syntax, vocalubario, etc.) but rather for the opportunity to know small fragments of the histories of my classmates. This doesn't mean that I haven't learned... on the contrary I think it helped me to remember some things that I saw in high school. It has been a more dynamic and different way of learning English.

I think at the end of the course the reflection that arises is that which is embodied in the title of this post ... this methodology really teaches us English? I think so, but not as it's currently. Mister Sebastian should be able to review the blogs with some periodicity and not at the end of the course, to give us corrections and advice in the written part. On the other hand, I think that the course doesn't focus on the biggest weakness we all have in my opinion: speak and pronounce correctly. Personally, it will lower the number of blogs and add other activities that require speaking (and not only the oral presentation) in non-scheduled situations that oblige us to try to really talk and not repeat from memory something that we wrote previously.

Finally I join the comment of other classmates about more freedom in the topics of the post. I really enjoyed writing free post, I am that other classmates too and that gives value to the blog

    i think this educational tool is not very helpful, especially because the teacher never feedbacked our posts

    Well, in part, we don't know how different would be this english subject without the strikes, but I totally agree with the point of the free posts, they were the best ones

    I also enjoy doing free theme blogs, those were more easy for me to do.

Post 3: Piece of Technology

Imagen
I do not know if I really have a favorite piece of technology. However, I read a lot and I like to look for new things to read, search for things online and things like that ... That's why I think the most impactful artifect in my life is the computer. With it you can do everything (or almost everything) and I think that for the current times, as well as in my life, it's something almost essential: for the university, work, etc. I particularly like PCs more than laptops or notebooks, because they have more capacity for data processing and that makes them much more versatile. Maybe the only disadvantage is not being able to transport them, but I think that this can be avoided easily if one is efficient in organizing with what one has to do. My first computer was given to me for a Christmas when I was 17 years old. Before that, I went to the library of my city to occupy the ones for public use.

Favorite subject of the semester

Hello everyone, this time I'm talk about the subject I've enjoyed most this semester. Is a subject that is realized in Philosofy in Campus Juan Gomez Millas. The name of the subject is "Readings on temporality in Husserl and Levinas" .  I like the subject for two reasons. The first is that I'm a passionate about philosofy (it was a one of my career options). And the second is that this particular philosofy, the phenomenology, is very closer to some of the principles of the anthropology. In the subject, we see issues such as the construction of the time/temporality, the difference beetwen "time lived" and "time percevied". All based in two great philosophers: Edmund Husserl and Emmanuel Levinas. Althought it's a difficult subject for someone who doesn't have previus knowlegde of philosofy, the professor is very kind and has an incredible facility to explain. If you've the opportunity to take courses, I recommened them because...

English 4

Well ... here we are, last post of the course. I have mixed feelings about my experience of learning English in college. On the one hand, I cannot say that I have not learned because the course helped me to meet again with the knowledge about English I had from school. However, if it is true that we do not develop many more skills than we already have incorporated. I took English 3 and 4. My opinion about blogs has changed a bit. In English 3 I found that they were useless. I think it was my own laziness. Now in this course, in blogs I dedicated myself to expanding vocabulary and refreshing the memory of grammar, which was something that I had almost forgotten. I still need to meet again with grammar rules and tenses, I feel they are my weak points. Of course, the pronunciation too. I don't think I take English classes outside of the university, but if I did take private language classes, they would be Portuguese or French. I think several of us will give a similar answer: t...
