July 5th Journal

Part I (13,30 pm)

I am not tutoring but if I were, it would be impossible for me to mention anything about my looking forwardness or my fears relating to this activity because I have no clue as to what it is about.

As for the free writing, I will write about a language experience I had not had but I would have liked to have and that I would like to have over the three weeks we already have got left.

I, as the rest of the teachers I've been talking to, miss more talking and feedback in the classes we are attended. It is our feeling that we are not learning as much English as we expected.

Part II (23,40 pm)

 As if you had read my thinkings, at the end of today's class I knew what tutoring was about and we had started an activity in which we had had to talk to each other(thankfully, all the people in the group agreed to speak English).

I have liked this last activity about baseball much more than simply writing the journal on my own.

Nevertheless, I still miss some feedback. I feel that I will go back to Spain with the same mistakes I used to commit before I came to Chicago. For example, I'm not sure if you "commit mistakes" or just "make mistakes".

  1. Ana, it is my hope that more changes continue for next year's program. I am sorry that more feedback has not happened. To answer your question- usually the word "commit" is used for more serious happenings [ex: commiting murder, make a commitment to a group]. It's usually more common to say that you "make a mistake."
