week 1

1. I want to be able to talk with foreigners all English. Even if I go to U.S.A., I cannot talk in English now. So my long term goal is to be able to speak English well.

2. I think I need to reach my goal American English. And I need Eiken because I want to obtain a English teacher’s license.

3. My current TOEFL-ITP score is 423. Listening score is 42, structure score is 44, reading score is 41. I want to be able to read faster.

4. I like to study with computers and videos because I don’t feel studying. And my best condition to study is in late at night alone. I like study vocabularies in the train while I go to school too.

5. in this class, I want to level up reading skill and listening skill for using Net Academy2 and Ferris Online. Out of the class, I study vocabularies in the train while go to school.

final blog

1, I think Net Academy2 helped I learn English the best because Net Academy2 is various. Net Academy2 contains writing, reading, vocabulary and TOFLE measures too.

I learned writing, reading and vocabularies every class time. Dictation of writing and reading are very difficult but they helped me listening skill and grammar skill. I solved questions using both of a sound and grammar. Ferris Online contains listening and grammar. But I don’t like it because I don’t understand how to use Ferris Online. So I think Net Academy helped I learned English the best.

2, I feel listening skill has improved this semester. In this class, teacher speaks all English. I hear teacher’s comments and I understand. If I don’t hear teacher’s comments I don’t know what I should do next. So I hear teacher’s comments carefully. And I studied listening on Net Academy too. Dictation isn’t solved if I don’t hear carefully. When I came to this class the number of times I hear English increase. So I feel listening skill has improved this semester.

3, The rate is 4 because I almost study earnestly in class. I started to study and to stop talking with friends when teacher said “go to work” so I didn’t waste time. But I didn’t make my plans every time. If I had make my plans I wouldn’t waste time more. So I give a rate 4.

4, In the future I go to travel abroad. Then I want to speak daily talk with foreigner. I want to buy things by myself. And I want to understand foreign films without subtitles. To do so its I should study daily talk. In class, teacher sometimes speaks daily talk. I didn’t understand all but I understood little. So I want to study daily talk more from foreigner teachers. And I want to speak daily talk with foreigner and understand foreign films without subtitles.

Blog 11

a. I studied listening and reading on NetAcademy2. I studied listening level3. The contents are penguins which back home and leave a massage. I studied reading level3. The content is calling in public transport.  I usually miss over in advance mode, but I don’t miss over today.

b. Listening advance mode is more difficult than reading one because frequency of miss is little. So, I want to be able to do listening no miss over.

c. I learned different meaning of “scale”. I knew “the size or level of something” but I leaned “a device that is used for weighing people or things” in addition.

d. I learned that I study Dojo in surplus time. I always make Dojo time. But studying Dojo in surplus time uses time rationally. So I study Dojo in surplus time.
