English Language Challenges

For this blog i’m going to answer each question separately

-What comments can i make about my experience learning english at university?

Really i think i have not learned many new things here, maybe some words or expressions, vocabulary in general, but nothing very important.

-What about the use of blogs?

Well, i think this is a very good tool, because it forces us to use all the vocabulary we have, or the most part of it. Since i started doing this, i feel i can write more fluently, also i can speak more fluently too. I really like this teaching method, i like it more than clases, the truth is that these are very boring! I think these are not necessary, there should be only english lab, to do blogs. For example, to learn about the future, present or past in english, we could have blogs related to that, i don’t know, write about things you liked to do in the past, or write a story… Maybe, teachers could show us a recording, and we would have to write about what we heard there, or something like that, more fun or interesting things that be sitting in a chair filling a work guide, for a person like me, that is so boring, do the same thing for 2 hours! :c

-What aspects of my english i need to improve?

Mmmm i need to improve my fluency when i’m speaking and expand my vocabulary…

How am i going to do it? Well, i have an app in my mobile cellphone, called Duolingo, it is a very good app to learn languages.

-Outside the english class…

I don’t use English too much, only in duolingo, or when i see some movie, but in december i will go to USA, so i think i’m going to use it more there jajaja

Changes To My Study Programme

Generally, i like my study programme, but is true that it could be better, for example:

In my career, the first semester we had a subject called “introduction to the career of chemistry”, in my opinion, this subject was absolutely useless!!!! We had to listen the presentation of different people related with the career and made a summary, but this presentations never had a relationship between them, also was soooo boring L L L I think I really didn’t learn anything, a total waste of time :/. Instead this semester we have a subject called “chemistry and society”, this is much better planned, we learn about things more useful and listen people really related with the career. So I think “introduction to the…..”  has to be removed to the curriculum!

In relation to the workload and the length of studies, I think they are well :3

This faculty is too small in every way, for example, when it is raining, only the 36% of the students have a place to lunch. Also the library is too small and noisy L

We all agree that technology is very important to the studies, but I think teachers or someone should teach how to use books better, because I’m sure that the half of students doesn’t know how to find the information they are looking for.

In relation to the teaching methods, some teachers believe that because they know a lot about some subject, they can be cruel with a student who had an error. They must to understand we all have different times to learn…
