4. STATEMENT OF PERSONAL
LEARNING GOALS.
There are many reasons of why I
wanted to study the English Program, but
the most important one was that I want to
learn about the language, because
communication is very important in a
language and we as students and future
professionals have to learn how to
communicate in different situations
In this semester I would like to
achieve some goals such as:
pronunciation improvements, ability to
participate in class discussions, how to
make lesson plans, make projects, etc.
This will a kind of hard to achieve these
goals, so I will put more effort studying,
cooperating in class all the time.
My compromise as student will be
working hard every day to achieve the
most important goal in my life that is to be
a good professional, and also in the
future be the best teacher in the English
field.

Blogs in education.
Name: Cristina Egüez
Question 1: How would you define the term "blog"?
I would define the term “blog” as a web site where people
write regularly about any topic, and also share ideas,
experiences, thoughts and knowledge.
Question 2: What types of blogs have you heard
about?
I have heard about three types of blogs, that are:
Tutor blog.- This is run by the tutor for the learners.
Class blog.- where teachers and learners can share topics
for discussion.
Learner blog.- where students can constantly inform with
his or her own words,I deas or thoughts.
Question 3: What is one example of how YOU would
use blogs in your EFL classroom? for this question
you need to explain three things: the objective(s) of
your blog (use the ABCD Method), the students'
level, and how you expect to evaluate the
effectiveness of your blog.
I would use blogs with my students to express their ideas
and knowledge about something that they have
learned.

17. Objective:
Students from sixteen years old would be
able to infer information about poverty in
Africa. Also, they would be able to make a
self reflection about they have understood.
Please check the information about the ABCD
method to write lesson objectives.
Evaluation:
I would evaluate my students by giving
them comments about the things they have
wrote and correct mistakes if they have.
This is not a good answer since it does not
provide clear information of the way in
which you will evaluate your students. It
would be a good idea to use rubrics!!
In general, your assignment needs
improvement. There is not enough
information and you have not followed the
instructions to complete the task.
Work harder next time!
