WEEK 7

Hi everyone,
         This week was really easy. I felt this for many reasons some of which are personal. This week we read about learner autonomy which I consider one of the most important objectives of teaching. How to make your student able to teach himself is a great point which at first will help you a lot in your work & will make you feel that you taught him how to fish instead of giving him just one fish for the day. This feeling is perfect. We used this week the wallwisher/padlet I did not like it. I can not deny that it was easy to use but it was not organised at all. Concerning the project I am working hard on it. Best of luck to all of you.

Yours,
Joseph.

WEEK 6

HELLO EVERYBODY,
                    I am very happy to tell you about my project. I have a small class of adults who study a course of general English at level 3. They have a problem in listening. They can not comprehend what they are listening to very well. I felt that using technology may help a lot in this problem & I decided to use this website to solve the problem :  http://www.esl-lab.com/. This week I have started giving them tasks from this website & I see that they liked it a lot. I wish it could help us in our problem. This week was a tough one but thanks to GOD I have done what is required.
Best Regards,
Yours,
Joseph.

WEEK 5

DEAR EVERYONE,

                 I am very happy to write to you about week 5. For the first time I feel that the work this week was easy. This week I enjoyed reading about Rubrics & making a rubric for myself it's really useful & amazing my students would like it very much & it would help us a lot. I also liked reading about project based learning because I need it a lot in my classes. Here in Egypt students do not like teacher based classes & they consider them very poring, that's what makes project based learning very interesting & required. In an ordinary teacher based class the students get pored easily & they lose their interest & concentration easily. However, If you used project based learning with the same class, you'd get amazing results.This week was really great.

Best wishes,
Yours,
Joseph
