Week 3 “Building Teaching Skills through the Interactive Web”

Hi Dear Robert and all colleagues!!!!

We are terrifically fortunate to be the part of Oregon University’s program. This program gets us to step up our teaching strategies through the interactive web. I enjoy tremendously gaining knowledge of valuable activities of this course. In third week, we majored in assorted favorable subject matters; as, aural/oral skill-building websites, creating a delicious page, and discussing a past sample project report.

Aural/oral skill-building

The art of listening needs it highest development to listening to oneself; our most important task is to develop an ear that can really hear what we are saying. Listening and speaking both are considered as the main priorities of language learning. I myself feel affection for these both skills greatly. I always endeavor to create an awesome atmosphere for listening, speaking, or pronunciation skills. I knew some techniques ere for enriching students’ listening and speaking skills, but at the present moment I have accumulated in Oregon’s course various tips from articles (CALL for listening, speaking, or pronunciation skills), constructive ideas of my classmates, and from other websites. I studied some lesson plans from our course main page, too; they were really first-class for enhancing speaking, listening, and pronunciations skills. In short, aural/ oral skills are momentous and crucial learning for any language.    

Creating a delicious page

Delicious is a way by which one can save his web links and find them from any computer on the Internet; and also lets him shares links easily with others. It is extremely amazing way for adding various collections of online sites. I truly feel affection for this page because it makes our work like taking candy from a baby.

First, I felt a bit frantic creating a delicious page and adding links over there, but go on far I created it successfully. Afterwards I added some of my preferred links on it. Delicious page made me capable of    including links to other people's Delicious pages on my page, too.

Reading and discussing a past sample project report

Reading project reports of professional people can bring an enormous fluctuation in ones work or job. This is a huge process of learning in every walk of lifespan. In this week our third subject matter was reading and discussing a past sample project report; I pored over Aleyda Linares’s Final project report intended for learning English language as second language. I absolutely knocked out her project report. I learnt many techniques from her method of teaching. I remarked her project on nicenet in detail.        

I am fond of familiarizing my self with all aspects of teaching method. Third week was wholly full of eventful readings and teaching activities. The whole topics got me to carry out them in my own class conscientiously. I fully anticipate that at the end of this course, we will be considered as perfect teachers in our subjects. I love this course; and I am once again thankful to our teacher and classmates, who lend a hand me in every work or activity.

Warm regards,
