- 2. STATEMENT OF PERSONAL LEARNING GOALS. What are your reasons for studying at “Carrera de Idiomas”? First of all, I always had liked the English language because English is the universal language around the world .For this reason, I want to be a excellent English teacher and work at “Juan Gamboa” High School in Coca city. Another reason is that English language let people communicate and sharing experiences with foreign people. In conclusion, people who know to speak two languages or more they will have more chances in order to get a good job in institutions or companies. What are your own goals for this semester? Actually, I have a lot of goals for this semester but I think that the most important is to improve my pronunciation and speak fluency in order to answer English questions. Because, I have problems of listening yet. Sometimes , I don’t answer the question because I don’t know the meaning of some words or I cannot understand the message of the sentence. In conclusion, If I want to be a excellent English teacher, I will need to improve the four basic skills. How will you achieve your goals? In order to achieve my goals I will do different things such as : pay attention in class, coming prepared in order to give oral expositions, take notes when the teacher is explained ,practice more hours the learning skills at home, etc. In conclusion, I think that if I want to achieve these goals, everything depend of me (being more responsibility and practice a lot inside and outside of the classroom). What will you do every day or week to reach these goals? First at all ,I will look for extra information on the net, textbooks, magazines, etc in order to reinforcement the learned in class. Also , I will practice words that I got to pronounce in a bad way in order to avoid misunderstood when I speak with others.

- 4. STUDENT SELF-REFLECTION ON EVIDENCE FOR ELEMENT 1 Name: Quilumba David Date: July 17th /2012 Title of work/product: EVALUATING WEB PAGES In this chapter , I learned about the importance of distinguish between good and bad web pages. It means , how people can identify sites that have reliable , dated , source information, in order to avoid the plagiarism. Actually, I didn’t know about things people have to consider when are looking for information on the net such as : author’s credentials, sources documented with footnotes or links, tone of the page, verifying the accuracy of works before they are printed, etc. I mention this because I sometimes print information that appears first on the net without considering these items. For this reason, I included this picture about evaluating web pages because it was the best way to summarize and understand everything about how to identify useful sites when we are looking for information on the net without we are victims of deceitful people. Besides, the main objective proposed myself in this chapter was to study and understanding technological terms such as : url and types (.com , .org , .net , etc.) , domain , citation, plagiarism, paraphrasing .About strategies that I used it was the cooperative learning where my classmates and I shared some ideas about this topic explaining our points of view and posting comments in this forum. Finally next time I’ll take careful when I’m looking for information on the net because as a future English teacher I have to give students reliable information in order to avoid plagiarism.
- 5. STUDENT SELF-REFLECTION ON EVIDENCE FOR ELEMENT 2 Name: Quilumba David Date: July 17th /2012 Title of work/product: DIIGO – ACCOUNT In this chapter , I learned about an interesting web page where people can organize their sites of different ways without importance the amount of them .It is Diigo, this web page is very useful and I could add many sites with descriptions for each one. Besides, I could classify my sites and putting in different categorizes such as: Listening ,Writing ,Reading ,Speaking , Vocabulary & Grammar and Methodology. I included this picture of my Diigo account because it was the best way in order to understand the Diigo’s advantages and how to use it. Also, this site let me comment the Diigo accounts of my partners in order to know what kind of web pages are very useful to teach English language in high schools in the categorizes mentioned before. About strategies that I used in this activity it was by writing because we had to comment at least in three different web pages in our entries. Actually, I think that this activity was a good idea because as a future English teacher I need to have my web pages organized in a logical way. It means that I can have different categorizes like : exercises , grammar, quizzes, etc. In addition, I can find whatever web page with whatever topic easily because Diigo’ site let write tags in each web page to facilitate its searched on the net. Next time, I will use Diigo in order to add different sites that let facilitate the learning process in a good way and easily.
- 6. STUDENT SELF-REFLECTION ON FIRST EVIDENCE FOR ELEMENT 3 Name: Quilumba David Date: July 17th /2012 Title of work/product: LESSON PLAN Definitely, this chapter was my favorite because I learned about how to write lesson plans step by step. First at all, I didn’t know very well what’s a lesson plan but the teacher explained us that it is like a journey, then the lesson plan is the map. It shows me where I start, where I finish and the route to take to get there. As future English teachers we have to write good lesson plans to put in practice step by step (activities, evaluation, homework)in the classroom in order to facilitate the teaching process. Also, the most important thing about this chapter was how to write logical objectives using the A.B.C.D. method. For this reason , I included this piece of paper about my lesson plan presented to teacher before because it was the best way to understand how to write lesson plans applying the procedures such as: Information , objectives , activities , evaluation and homework) in a good way. Next time, I will write lesson plans using the A ,B ,C ,D . method and I will write extra activities in case that exist any problem inside the classroom like : no electricity , no internet connection , even if I have students with disabilities. In my personal opinion, I think that they have the same right like other students have in Education.
- 7. STUDENT SELF-REFLECTION ON SECOND EVIDENCE FOR ELEMENT 3 Name: Quilumba David Date: July 17th /2012 Title of work/product: DEMO CLASS Having studied how to write a lesson plan in the previous classes I presented a demo class in front of my partners for 15 minutes. It acitivity was very useful for us because most of us were very nervous at the beginning . Also, in this demo class we put in practice the whole activities that we wrote in our lesson plans. For this reason, I included these pictures like evidence because these pictures are the best way to understand the activities that I used in order to present my demo class. About strategies that I used in this demo was the cooperative learning where each of my partners put attention and following the instruction that teachers gave. Each group presented different activities and different ways to evaluate. I think that it was a good exercise in order to experiment different sensations, what things were good, what things were bad, what things need to improve , etc. Next time, I will feel self-centered , sure in front of students and I will apply the activities that I mention in my lesson plan when I have to realize the “Practicas Pre-Profesionales”.
- 8. STUDENT SELF-REFLECTION ON FIRST EVIDENCE FOR ELEMENT 4 Name: Quilumba David Date: July 17th /2012 Title of work/product: WHAT IS BLOG ? In this chapter, I learned more about technological tools. In this case I learned about Blogs. It is an online journal that can be individual or can be used for some people that allows them to upload their ideas, opinions, and thoughts. Besides, I learned that there are three types of blogs. First one is called “The Tutor Blog” it is run by the teacher of a class applying syllabus promoting exploration of English. The second one is called “The Learner Blog” it involves giving each student an individual blog in order to become the student’s own personal online. The last one is called “The Class Blog” it is a collaborative discussion space. I included this evidence because it shows what is an example of how I would use blogs in my EFL-classroom explaining three things : the objectives , the students’ level and the evaluation. About strategies that I used was writing and being respectful with the ideas of my partners. If I were an EFL teacher, I would use the Learner Blog because their blogs can be used as journals for writing practice, or as free-form templates for personal expression.
- 9. STUDENT SELF-REFLECTION ON SECOND EVIDENCE FOR ELEMENT 4 Name: Quilumba David Date: July 17th /2012 Title of work/product: MACRO-TEACHING – PRODUCTIVE SKILL In chapter we worked in pairs to present oral expositions related to receptive and productive skills. Each skill has different subskills or stages in order to improve this learning skill. I want to talk about my exposition it was about productive skill (writing) .I think that in order to have effective writing is necessary that people focus on the topic and no contain extraneous information. Another is that the text contains supporting ideas that are developed through the use of examples, details followed the standard written English (eg: punctuation , capitalization , and spelling). I included this evidence because I learned the writing process Brainstorming; generate ideas for writing a paper. Drafting; organize the ideas into a sequence. Revising; revising the content , organization and style of your writing based on a specific purpose, audience, and occasion. Next time, I will apply the writing process when I write paragraphs, compositions, or essays because as a future English teacher is necessary that I show correct writing to students.
- 10. STUDENT SELF-REFLECTION ON EVIDENCE FOR ELEMENT 5 Name: Quilumba David Date: July 17th /2012 Title of work/product: VIRTUAL LEARNING CLASSROOM – NICENET In this chapter , I had to create a virtual learning classroom on Nicenet. I think that it was a good idea because technological tools facilitate the learning process in the classroom. As a future English teacher I need to know, manipulate, understand everything about them in order to catch the student attention, to create good environment and having a good interaction between teachers and students. Besides , technological tools such as: Nicenet , Edmodo or K12- lessonplanning have a big advantage which is that almost everybody use the internet or have a computer at home. It means that, virtual classrooms can be taken inside and outside of the class to facilitate the learning process. I included this picture related to my virtual learning classroom on Nicenet because the main objective proposed my teacher was to use these technological tools in order to put in practice our lesson planning (objective, level, activities, evaluation, and homework) in the virtual classroom like teachers and participating in the virtual classrooms of my partners like students. Finally next time I’ll use these tools in order to teach English language because these can help students to improve the four basic skills (reading, listening, writing and speaking) in a good and funny way.
