xux4: GOOD Words! Yeah! You are the frist person who i knew could write that long reflection. :)
I could understand that some of the students don’t like the ELP class. The reason could be the teacher or the books. Like me, I will not say i don’t like ELP class, but I felt that my english improve very slow, I started to feel sad with my English, because it’s not enough to use in my life. I can’t communicate with my classmates who began to know each other during these few weeks, and I can’t explain my emotion about the art works. I made the sclupture and I need to explain it. I was like a huge ice in the class, I was shy to let the Americans listen to me, a gril who has accent and spoke poor English. I felt bad, the sculpture has meaning, but because of me, my English, I don’t how to share the gladness with other people. But the cool sentence which in the blog “How much you want ot get out of the class” reminded me. I think the problem might not from the ELP, but myself. College student may learn by themself but not teacher, I am not saying theteacher is unuseful, but the attitude of student should active learning ( I want to say the positive attitude , but use” active learning” is right?)
I noticed that we were quite in the van, I was reading the duta about my presentation,so i didn’t talk too much.
I do learn things from our classmates, the way they talk and their cluture in their country and the English they spoke.
What?
Today Rachel drove us to the LLI. We left at 12:40 without Paul and Mohammed unfortunately but they did not answer their cell phones. The car ride over was rather quiet but once we got to the site, everyone started talking. Based on the observations done by Rachel and me, it seemed like…After reading your blog,I felt a little Roddick in front of you.What I mean is that you show us a great spirit of learning.I think that this blog you post will last forever in my mind.I want to talk about the NOW WHAT part here.I agree all the opinions of you.I think learning has all kinds of ways,from the example you gave which you talked to your child with Spainish,I find that this is more like a positive attitude.I am proud of being your student in U.S..I think every classmate has the same thoughts as me.Furthermore,I definitely admit that critique thinking is very useful in the world,especially in academic classes in America.I do not have academic classes right now,I know it because I had taken the academic writing class which is taught by David Shipp.You teachers in ELP are really good,you give me not only the English learning skills but foremost the active attitude in learning and to be a better man.Thank you for sharing your thoughts,I am so appreciated.
