A Discourse Approach in Reading: English Reading Strategies Week6

7 September 2015

Today's technology (continue...)

This is the sixth week for studying in English Reading Strategies. Before we started the studying we had had to test about the text from "Healthy Diet" and "Natural Disaster" I tried to do it my best. I think I did it well with my ability. I will not be regret because I do it my best.

Then, We started to study the "Today's technology (continue...)" about the CD vs Vinyl we read this passage and then we answered each of question given by us instructor. We learnt how to pronounce the words and got the knowledge such as If we stress the first syllable that is the noun. By the way, If we stress the second syllable that is the verb etc.

Next, When we completely studied this lesson. The teacher divided the students into 7 groups and gave the news such as The search engine, Facebook, Blogging For ELT etc. Each of groups got the different topic. Each of group's members had to read the passage deliberately and concluded the main idea with the important details in English Version in order to explain with other friends. When we completely read it. Each of person moved away to other groups to share the information each other.

Here is the diagram associated with the contents of each groups written by our teacher.

I shared my information with my friends in English version. I was so happy to speak in English because it makes me improve my English skills. Especially, Speaking Skill and Listening Skill. Some of my friends can speak English a little bit. When they found out the sentence that they can not speak in English they spoke Thai instead. So I think this is not serious problem. It is the natural of studying another language. If we speak more, we will get more.

I love this course because of my teacher. I really like her. She likes the students who pay attention on her class and try to improve English. She gives us to speak in English version when discussion or presentation. This is the best thing that makes us speak confidently. In addition, It is helping us improve our English Skill as well.

" The more we do. The more we get "

Eventually, The teacher assigned us to write the weblog about this activity. I had lunch with my friends and needed to test another subject that is "Writing for communication 1" I tried to it my best like this subject.
