Project 5

This kind of work was quite new for me, for I haven't made up any learning aid before. I must say it was a useful experience, for I had a good chance to test my own listening comprehension as well. I must say I became engaged in the task at once from the moment I pushed the "Play" button and sometimes even forgot that I was watching the video for educational purposes! So it was just difficult to listen and to write down tasks simultaneously. 

Here you can see the result of my work:

My Individual Blog: Irina's Journal

The blog I feel special about is my individual one. Here I was to publish renderings on newspaper articles and chapter summaries of the books for Pleasure and Individual Reading I'd chosen. Now it seems to be an impressive work to publish all that, but in fact there's still much to be done. This form of keeping an online diary is very popular now, so it may soon be used by pupils at schools. So as future teachers of English we must be up-to-date!

Other Blogs

And here're some posts I've contributed in some other blogs. All of them are intended for deep learning and so have educational purposes - but still it was very interesting to search for all this information. Some of them are connected with  art, others - with cinema and theatre, the third ones - with holidays in different countries (Russia, Britain and the US in our case), the fourth ones - with our future specialization of foreign language teachers. Nevertheless, it was nearly of the same interest to search for information about some famous actor, about a festival in a foreign country or some celebrity's birthday, and for some videos on your Spotlight topic. Of course, much time was spent on all this, but not in vain, I hope.
