Reflection
Paper
“Why do you take CALL course at
this semester?” or “Are you go crazy? You are a junior now. You should take your time to take another
professional class in our department” these questions were usually asked by my
classmates. Every time I was so
embarrassed
about these. Because so many friends
asked me and I did not know how to give them the best answer. Now I would like to reveal this answer at
this time I came to this class because I want to enhance English capability. It is crucial international language now. Whether I am in Taiwan or other places, good
English ability is very helpful to me.
Perhaps it can make me get a competitive pay in the future. So I should make good use of my time to take
English classes at present.
The first time I came to this
class. I felt a little nervous, because this
class was all in English. I feared that
I could not know what teacher taught. I
even felt I took this class was a wrong decision maybe I will not pass the exam. It was my first impression at this
class. But when I went to this class
again and again I gradually loved this class.
Because there were so many English learning materials which I have never
found were interesting to me. Such as
concordancers, Podcast, OpenCourseware, my ET, and Online Comics. The
most memorable topic for me is My ET.
It provides different kinds of theme
to let user practice and it also helps user to score, because of scoring system,
I can know whether I pronounce correctly or not. I have one experience about My ET. There are two assignments about My ET at this
class. Both of them I tried so many
times to do, But I just got seventy-seven or seventy-nine points. I did not know why I just got a lower
score. I have already worked hard to
pronounce and sometimes I even felt thirsty.
When the score showed up, I was sorrowful I cannot accept this truth. From now on, I am going to continue to try my
best to upgrade my speaking ability. I hope
that one day I will get a higher score in My ET.
At last I feel like appreciating teacher and my
classmates. I really have no regret to
take this course. I still remembered the
first assignment to set up my blog and upload an introduction of myself. At the beginning I was so shock because I did
not know how to use suitable vocabulary to describe myself. To finish this homework, I asked so many
friends to help me check it. I corrected
the content over and over again and eventually completed it. It really took me a
huge amount of time and made me impressed.
Although it was not a good impression to me, through this opportunity I
also learned how to write and expand my vocabulary. Writing in blog is literally a good way to
increase writing skills. I am not sure I
will continue keeping this habit. But I
believe it is so useful at present.
After I finish this class, I cannot forget all of English materials
which teacher taught at this class. I
will make good use of every tool to increase my English ability and find
further tools to help me. I hope I have
a chance to work overseas to earn much money in the future. If I own much money, I will set a scholarship
to encourage my younger schoolmates to learn language.
