Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The articles that I read for this week were Using the Internet in ESL Writing Instruction and Using Internet Based Children's Literature to Teach EFL both of these articles were interesting for me I really liked that gives information about reading and listening skills, with the use of technology we can encourage children to practice at home by giving them web sites and which students could fine  readings or exercises for practice their English skills, with the use of technology students may fell motivated about the learning of the language because is more attractive to practice online with exercises that has sounds with the pronunciation of the words or images that they may caught their attention too, instead of the traditional classes with some hands outs with the exercises for practice.
Something that caught my attention and most with the reading of Using the Internet in ESL Writing Instruction was the idea or an online class in which  students can have a group for interact each other by sending emails and also making them work in online projects with the web site in English in order for them to acquire, with the use of it as a daily routine, will be easier for them if they see the use of the web sites as something  that they always had made, with the use of it students  are going to feel familiar with technology and feel motivated to practice alone at home and look for other web sites for practicing and not only what the teacher gives.

  1. Hello Kenia. Your reflection this week is totally assertive. I especially agree with your idea of making of the use of Internet resources a habit. Teachers can model the first times so they help Ss build up their confidence so that they learn to use such resources alone. When Ss start doing so, we -teachers- have accomplished the goal.

    Keep it up!

  2. Hi Kenia! I feel identified with your words. In, my opinion modern technology offers incredibly efficient ways to improve the skills, techniques, and creativity of writing. Many students are struggling with their academic papers without knowing that the Internet offers an immense number of tools that can help them become better writers. Some students use mind mapping tools, others hire online tutoring or professional editing services, and you can also find a convenient way to boost your writing skills online...

    Regards!
