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
