Here's a brief explanation why I opened a blog for you



W h a t  k i n d  o f  b l o g  i s  t h i s ?


• in-depth complement to your regular class that fosters your language learning autonomy


W h y  a  b l o g ?

• to supply you with extra opportunities to express your opinion, insights, and finding, as well as to discuss them with your classmates

• to focus more on meaning (We'll cover the grammar in class.)

• to augment your sense of community and team spirit

• to establish a shared space where you can work in a collaborative fashion, and where you can construct knowledge rather than depending entirely on my knowledge

• to give you more freedom and responsibility in acquiring knowledge


• to expose you more frequently to authentic material and sources of information.

• to bestow encouragement upon shyer students
