Please give feedback on the winter course

二月 1, 2008

Dear class,

I would like to know what you think about our winter  English course. What have your learned from it? What are the difficulties you have experienced? Which part(s) (blogging, news & comments, picture/film description, giving comments on your classmates’ blogs/ online tests) do you like? Why? Is there anything we can do to make the course better? Are the news articles too difficult? Please give me feedback on the course so that we can make our English class more interesting and you’ll benefit more from it!

By the way, don’t mind the grammar, and even feedback in Chinese is fine. Both positive and negative comments are welcome!


Bloglines

二月 1, 2008

Dear students,

Today we are going to learn another Web 2.o tool— bloglines. With the help of it, you can subscribe to almost anything you want on the Internet, which means you don’t have to visit your “favorites” and new materials on those websites will go directly to your bloglines. Sounds intriguing, right? Let’s explore it together.


Things to complete before the new semester begins

二月 1, 2008

Dear class,

Some of you have gone all out for the building of your blog and have accomplished a lot. If you are one of them, I bet you’ve learned as much as I have. However, some are far behind the schedule. Please make sure you complete the following before Feb. 12:

1. Write at least 3 writing assignments.

2. Coment on at least three pieces of news.

3. Do the online test on High Life, Low Life at IWill.

4. Please give feedback on the winter course.

5. Change the “language” of your blog to English!

The above will account for part of your grades next semester.

If you have done all the assignments, you can relax and enjoy your Chinese New Year. Congratulations, then! If not, keep working! You won’t be alone though—I’ll be checking your progress!
