Week-3 Reflections

 

Hi friends,

This is a week of novel learning experience for me, my first task is to read the links provided in our course Wiki. I have gone through the reading assignment “Developing Listening Skills with Authentic Materials” by Lindsay Miller ,  there I  recognized how to teach the listening skill to my students, what are different stages/steps that  I have to follow while teaching this skill and how important it is. Then I have gone through another pdf link “New Perspectives in Teaching Pronunciation” by maria grazia busà here I came to know the role of CALL (computer assisted language learning) to teach pronunciation. Then my next task is to go through the ESL website. They are of glorious resources for ESL/EFL teachers, there I visited the link” http://www.esl-lab.com/zoo/zoord1.htm” 

This site is very supportive for me to teach listening skill.

Second task is constructing a page in Delicious.com and Bookmark at least 3 useful ESL sites. Delicious is an online Book marking site you can access your Book marks anywhere and very convenient for teacher to share their Book marks with the other teachers.

Here is the Link for "The free guide to Online Book Marking sites":
