ESP DEFINITIONS TESTS: These tests were quite difficult tasks in English
lectures. It was difficult to learn by heart all the words from modules.
First was very hard to learn full definition, but later I learned how to
shorten them. It helped me a lot to do better achievement.
MOODLE TESTS: It
used to take a little time to make, but Moodle tests were good
and easy way to get a good mark. Also, it is good way to revise learned
material.
ONLINE LISTENING PRACTICE (listening,
T/F, synonym matching, gap filling). I
enjoyed doing listening because it was interesting and I could improve my
listening skills. Most difficult for me was gap filling, because sometimes was
hard to catch correct word to fill in the blank. Moreover, others task difficulty
depends on record quality, how fast speaker is and how attentive I am.
TRADITIONAL LISTENING (to cassettes
or CD): I do not feel any need to separate this
from online listening practice because it is very similar. I have the same
difficulties as doing online listening.
ONLINE EXERCISES FROM FELDMAN‘S
COURSE BOOK: Online exercises from Feldman's course book were like Moodle tests. It
was good to revise just learned information and use it practically. Also, we
work as a team and sometimes this make it more difficult to choose right answer
and focus on task.
POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS: I found this task interesting, but also
stressful. The process of making presentation was interesting but presenting it
caused me a little stress. Moreover, I have learned how to do it in correctly
way and I can use this knowledge in future presentations.
SHORT TALKS: This activity is not hard, but I am not very good at
grammar and pronunciation . In addition, I am afraid to talk to audience, so I
always forget what I wanted to say.
SPEAKING IMPROMPTU: I don’t think that I
improved my speaking impromptu skills. I haven’t spoken very much at lecture,
because I need more time to think what I could say or sometimes it is hard to
add something what wasn’t said yet.
