Week 5. "Goden Middle"

Hello Dear all!!!

I know it's weird, but it seems that though the tasks are more difficult from week to week, it's easier and easier for me to cope with them. It's great!!! I feel like applying all/many ideas I've learnt and keep learning from this e-course to my teaching.
To tell you the truth I hated methodology earlier; I thought it was something abstract and boring to death, my opinion was changed as soon as I started to apply something I learnt and read about in reality. When I saw it worked, it made me happy. Now I understand methodology is interesting, catching and 100% applicable. This course's assignments prove it.
This week was very informative and rich in great ideas on how to use project-based learning in teaching. It took me a wile to think and create an outline of the project. In spite of the fact it was challenging, it excited me very much (can't wait to give it to my students)! I still have many things to think of, change and improve for it to work well... but I'll try to do my best!!!
It's great our instructors, giving us the tasks, make us think, understand and explain why we work on this or that issue+

Another week I learned a lot from has passed. I am sure the next week will be as great, motivating, encouraging and effective as all the previous ones...

Thank you all,
Luba

  1. Dear Luba,
    Really things have been getting harder, but also more exciting and more encouraging. Every week, we learned a lot of intereting lessons. Some of them will fit our classes, some require sometime to be passed to our students.We will have to practice, in order not to forget them.

    Good luck , Luba

  2. Dear Luba and Roland,

    the learning experience is getting more enjoyable (with tasks getting more complex) as we are getting more used to stretching ourselves. The best is yet to come! The hardest but the most exciting turn. May we continue to be such an enduring and skillful group eager to add new pages to this winter symphony.

    Warm regards,

    Andreja

  3. Dear Lyuba
    I share your thoughts. It has been such a hard work since January!
    But I feel very satisfied with my achievements. Learning new web skills to enhance my English teaching has been a great experience for me.
    Also being the only fortunate colombian in this marvelous group.
    Also, meeting interesting colleagues like you has been great!
    Best wishes
    Nora
