Journal 2

Well, lest start by saying that there are five English courses that we have taken during our career. I think that its great that people, by doing an exam can prove their English skills and jump one or even two English levels, even though, I think that as to many people sometimes the course is really easy, for other people it is really hard, because there’s people who knows English, and there’s other that don’t know nothing at all, and these English courses cant start by teaching truly basic things… it is something hard to solve by the way hehehe… I enjoyed it, because it wasn’t a class of grammar at all, it was interesting aspects of architecture in another language, so I really enjoyed it, and think that it help me as a professional to be.

As I was saying, I enjoyed English courses, it really enlarged my vocabulary… but I don’t until which level English courses can improve because as I just said, in a class there is a large range of knowledge of this language so maybe things that I think can help me, maybe just wont help someone who does not speaks English at all… There’s something that we just have to now clearly, and is that, to people that don’t know English at all, in 5 trimesters wont improve as much as teachers and the same university would like, because of the thing that those 5 levels are balanced into people that knows and people that don’t.

Having the online componet was very useful to me, I could do classes from home, and get to know some helpful tools in the web that may be useful in my future, for example the blogger, which I’ve explained in Journal 1.

I think that English courses shouldn’t be obligatories, they should be part of our pensum by in the Electivas part, and then maybe it can be not more hard but yet more intense, like
History in English… well, Architecture in English, and teach things that maybe we don’t see in other courses of the career.

By the way, you all teachers are really good and I really appreciated your time given to us and enjoyed you classes!

Bye!!!!
