As I wrote to Elizabeth last class, it’s interesting to notice, rereading everything we’ve written until now, how the reflections we’ve done about our learning process – our impressions, feelings, wishes, etc. – has contributed to my decisions and changes. I always used to write something about time and readings (how they are connected! and how I’m trying to change them!)… We know that everything that makes we think/question/reflect, transforms, in a certain way, our point of views, world conception, feelings, etc.
It’s a fact that my contact with English has improved enormously, comparing before I entered in university, specifically in this semester. I’ve never written in English as I do now, in terms of quantity; and I’ve been really desiring to read in English, not obligatory readings, but for pleasure. I was complaining because I didn’t have time to have a closer contact with English, to dedicate myself for what I really need and want. But now, I feel so motivated with the activities I do and with my new learning process of English. I feel that only in this rhythm we can learn effectively, not having two hours of class a week as we have at English Courses, and nothing else.
And also how great is to work with different activities. Differently of what happens at English Courses, here, at university, we don’t need to follow a routine, with the same kind of exercises, topics of discussion, materials… We can choose and change according with our needs and likes; and working with different issues makes we enlarge our knowledge in different areas.
