Organisation and Collecting Information for the Website

8th Week - Organisation and Collecting Information for the Website

Hi all! This week we focused on the organization and outline of the timeline. As we have limited time and a lot of work to do, it is crucial to design the path beforehand to have a realistic plan and outcome. I hope, we as a team are good at this, we'll see.

We discussed how to share the topics to be searched, written, and edited to be uploaded on the website. To share the topics properly and discuss what each of them is related to, we did some general research on our topic. This also helped each of us find which sub-topic of technology use in language learning we are most interested in. At the end of the week, we did a video call together and decided on how and when to take the next steps. Unexpectedly, we couldn't share some topics (possible drawbacks and issues; suggestions and solutions for them) easily, as they require more time and dedication. They are also the most important and the most intertwined topic with all other topics. That's why we decided to work on them collectively and after the finals.

In the next two weeks, we will search our own topics and send any information to another teammate if the information is helpful and related to theirs. After the first week, we will give feedback to each others' literature reviews. We are also planning to have a catch-up meeting with our instructor.

Day by day, I feel closer to our goal and it feels more realistic. I can picture our website on my mind :) I feel a bit worried but excited.

See you, los amo chicos!

Useful Multimedia Tools for Language Learning in the Classroom

5 th Week 11.12.2020 Useful Multimedia Tools for Language Learning in the Classroom Bună Learnivores! I hope you are alright and healthy. I'm so busy but also excited and hopeful about the new year :) I am sure that no one would say 2020 was the best but I think it taught a lot and gave everyone a chance to listen and reflect on themselves. SO, let's get down to business! This week before the Zoom sessions, we reflected on some video interviews with David Crystal, individually. The main idea of the interviews was not new for us, they were sort of a follow-up for the topics we discussed earlier such as native-speakerism, dialects and accents, pedagogical implications of World Englishes, and challenges. Although I thought that the activities kind of repeating themselves, then I realized I haven't thought that deeply about what should change in the classroom. Also after watching the video 'The Myth of the Native Speaker' I learned that the native speaker doesn't e...

Working on the Website Entries

9th Week - Working on the Website Entries Asalaam Alaikum dear Learnivores. The Arabic 'hello' means that 'may the peace be upon you', did you know that? Peaceful days, friends. It is finals week so I hope that peace will also be upon me. In this week's entry, I will keep you short as we as a group did not do much new. Last week we started to search on our topics and we keep searching and writing some outlines. Our instructor let us give some break to focus on our finals and then do the remaining work more efficiently. Our group decided to keep doing some searches also in finals week as we didn't want to move away and prepare our website on time. I will be updating you later on. This week, we have been given a few reflection questions about the validity of our searches and materials, and also some tools that may be helpful for our search. It was a bit hard to answer and it is slowly settling for me to act suspicious about the resource I found. It made me more ...
