A Reflection Nore. Kseniya Zhilina


A Reflection Note
             
            The semester is coming to the end, and I would like to say some words about our course. In general, I liked it. Here are some reasons why.
            Our regular work with newspaper sources allows me to be aware of the latest world events and problems of our time. Writing summaries of articles helps me to drive the information through myself, to analyze and draw conclusions. I also enjoy reading the works of my peers. Through this I can see how it would be better to build the structure of my essays and also I pay attention to mistakes to avoid them in the future.
            The task I liked most was working with materials of the IATEFL conference. I’ve learned what teachers around the world were doing to make their teaching more engaging and effective. So I came to the idea that it would be great to work more with videos, because it is an incredible powerful tool for exchanging ideas.
            I also like the blog format, because writing this way I feel more free and approach work as a creative process.
To sum up, I am really greteful that we have such an interesting course!

Firstly, I really liked the format in which our classes were held. Since we live in the modern world, I think it is very important to be able to use and process information on the Internet, and this is exactly what some of our lessons were built on. Thanks to this, I learned to look for the information I need and work with anti plagiarism. Moreover, during this semester there was a lot of practice in writing essays of various types. Because of this, I learned how to structure information and express my thoughts correctly in writing. As for the topics themselves, I really liked the themes that we discussed. They are ver...

A for-and-against essay. Torgalo Eliaveta

                                                Are ebooks so popular and good nowadays?                                                             With the development of digital technology, many physical elements, such as pen and paper, are gradually being replaced by computers and smartphones. But is it really good? Since the creation of "electronic readers" more and more people are turning to the technological side of reading.    One major advantage of e-books is portability. With the recent development of e-book readers, you can take an endless amount of books with you on vacation or on the go. Another great advantage of e-books is that they are chea...
