WebQuest: What Makes A Successful English Learner?

Dear students,

We have tried out something new in our class today. And that is a WebQuest!
You can open it here: What Makes A Successful English Learner?

I hope you enjoyed learning English aided by a new technology tool!

I am very pleased with what you have all done today and you have made very nice PowerPoint presentations at the end.

Now I would like you to think about our class today and post your comments about it on our Class Blog. It should be a short reflection on these questions:

What do you think of WebQuests and their application in teaching / learning?
Did you like our WebQuest today? Why?/Why not?
What did you learn today and how can it help you become a more successful English learner?


Many thanks to all of you!
I look forward to seeing you next class!

Best,
Izela

The 8 Types of English Language Learners

Dear students!

I am sorry that you experienced some technical problems with the link I provided in my previous post and I apologize for not having detected it earlier by myself.

Therefore, I supply you with another link, where you can possibly find the answer to the question: What kind of English learner are you? You can read about the 8 types of English language learners, based on the analysis of the mindsets language learners have and their ability to speak English. Try to decide which type is yours. I hope it will be interesting and fun!

So here is the link: The 8 Types of English Learners

I look forward to your feedback on our class blog!


Best regards,

Izela
