On Monday 29 August 2016

Teacher came to class and called on students for answers. Then teacher let us talked about the topic that she assigned us yesterday  “What technologies did you use to learn English?”. I talked with friend who sat next to me. He was Natthapol. We had the similar idea. 

We used social media to learn English.

Teacher gave us the hand out and let us to do exercise in hand out.
Pre-Reading1:  solve the anagrams 
Pre-Reading2: put the activities in order of how enjoyable they are to do.

After doing the exercise teacher let us to read “Profcasts”. It was a lecture that teacher upload it online for their students. Then answer questions and did exercise about this topic

After finishing we started the new topic “Essential Skills”. It about how different between CD and Vinyl that people talked online on that website. Then did exercise and answer the questions. Teacher let us summarize that topic and sent the representative of each group to present it to class .

In my opinion today’s lesson was not too difficult but not too easy too because it about vocabularies and we have to analyze for the answer. For me I felt tired and sleepy sometime because the class too long but I can control myself keep studying until finished the class.

The strategies that I used today was previewing, scanning, skimming, predicting, finding the keywords and locate it in paragraph, finding the reference and guessing words meaning from the context.

For me I use “Twitter” to follow celebrities who good at English or English teacher such as Aj. Adam Bradshaw (@AjarnAdam), Andrew Biggs(@andrewbiggs), Kanatip Soonthonrak(@LoukgolfLG) etc. Most of their twit  they wrote about English how to pronunciation each words, news headline, vocabularies something like that. I think it easy to learn and get knowledge from this way. It make me get knowledge and fun at the same time. It very interesting way to learn English.Not only Twitter but also every social media such as Facebook, Youtube, Line etc. It can be the way that help me to good at English.

 That's all for today. See you next post.

 Bye Bye
