Semester Task: A Reflection Note
Today I would like to share with you my personal opinion about this academic subject.
Most of all I liked that we had an opportunity to work in small groups of 2-3 people to discuss some interesting themes or situations. I find it helpful because a good teamwork helps us understand other people better, listen to their opinion and share your own point of view. In addition, such teamwork develops our communicative skills.
What is more, I like that we use such website as ‘Blogger.com’ because here we can not only post our own essays, but also see other works of students in my group and even estimate their essays by writing comments.
However, one thing wasn’t very useful for me during this semester . For example, to write a movie review in the third person, explaining who we are. Why can't we just write a simple review and share our opinion on them?
Next semester I would like to spend more time by watching different cognitive videos, connected to the educational system. For example, videos of sessions from 'IATELF' or other conferences because it is full of useful information, important topics or questions to think about.
In conclusion, I would like to suggest you such topics for discussion as student's life, the influence of social networks and studying abroad.

Hello Yana,
ОтветитьУдалитьthanks for your reflection. I was glad to learn that appreciated its content and organisation. Peer-revision is considered a very useful way of helping the students to improve their writing skills. Yes, some of them are concerned that their peers are not professional writers, so they do not quite trust their judgement. However, one of the major benefits of peer-editing is having an opportunity to see what and how your peers have written and learn from it.
