WebSkills Online Course- 3rd Week


Good evening from Bahrain

Unfortunately, I missed the week 2 due to some Internet issue, but here I am again at the end of week 3 "The Delicious Week" , which has been an interesting week. It is still hard for me to manage my time for this week.

Anyway, I am calling this post “Delicious Week” because we were introduced to Delicious.  It's a web, where you can save all the interesting links that you find on the Internet and get access to them where ever you are and when ever you want. You can also share the links you save with others. When I read the task and click on the link, I found that I am already a user at Delicious, but probably never used it, or maybe forgot about it. I think now, and whenever I come across good websites, I will save them on my Delicious page https://delicious.com/fatemaalbaqqali

Moreover, we had 2 discussions this week about Developing Listening Skills with Authentic Materials and The Employment of CALL in Teaching Second/Foreign Language Speaking Skills. I read two of the articles suggested. They were focusing on Listening, Speaking and Pronunciation. The topics were very familiar to me as I am still a college student and these topics are highlighted in my courses, but reading more about them encourages me to learn more about using technology and authentic materials in a language classroom, which sometimes become very difficult and challenging. I will talk about it on my next entry. I will probably apply many of the things I have learned from this week and share them with my colleagues.

Along with that, we got the chance to read different project report designed by different participants who took the WebSkills course, which gave me a better idea on how the final project we are designing by the end of this course will look like.

I am very excited for the coming weeks. Can’t wait.
