Hello Everyone,
Its so surprising that we will be starting week 9 in few hours.Seems like yesterday this course started.
This week was quite fruitful, just like all the previous ones. But I must say that this week was quite hectic too.
First, we had to submit the first draft of our final project, and do a peer review of our partners' drafts.I must say while I was going through the checklist provided to us for the peer review, the shortcomings in my own report started coming in my mind. So, I would say that peer-reviewing is quite a good technique which gives way to self-assessment as well.
Secondly, something amazing was introduced to us, that is, ANVILL. I wish I had known about ANVILL before, but i guess its never too late. Its just an amazing LMS, a wonderful tool for teachers and learners. And, what is best about ANVIL is that it includes all the four areas of language i.e. listening speaking reading and writing. I would love to use it with my students but first I myself need to learn all the ropes.
I have also learned to make language teaching exercises in HotPotatoes. And I created a blog site for my students. After vacations when my students will resume the semester, I plan to make use of this blog with them.
Best,
Akifa

Hi Akifa,
ReplyDeleteI guess we have the same things to do this week. It's all about the preparation and the preparation for coming semester right? for our project Plan.
I agree with you "If we know ANVILL earlier." It is a kind of amazing tools to help us then.
By the way your project plan is great. I've put my comment on Wiki.
