Week 3 - Blogging

Good afternoon!




A few interesting links (found on Reddit.com) recently ...

These are quite old (sorry):

Today ...
1) Check to see that all blog posts are up-to-date and mistakes have been fixed.
2) Present your thoughts to the class on Authentic vs ESL materials.
3) Kevin will introduce the Academic Resources page on the Lifelong English website.
4) Discuss the Input Hypothesis (インプット仮説) in class.

Input Hypothesis / インプット仮説

Paragraph about Blogging in English due Oct. 13 Thurs / Oct. 18 Tues. 
  • Think about all the blog posts you made last year and this year. What did you blog about? How many posts did you make? Did your blog topic change in two years?
  • Did you learn anything by blogging? For example, did you learn more about the subject of your blog? Did you learn how to write better?
  • Did blogging help you improve your English? For example, did you learn some vocabulary, grammar points or useful collocations?
  • Did blogging help you learn about online posting? For example, did you learn anything about html, photo editing, how to use templates and color schemes, how to make links or embed videos, etc?
  • Make a paragraph about Blogging in English and send it to Kevin's email. You will present this on Oct. 13 / Oct. 18. 
  • Sample comments from previous year students.
  • This paragraph will appear in your graduation report and your best blog post will appear with it as an example of your blog writing.

Example of a long quotation in an academic article:





















Kevin will show you how a quotation fits into your graduation report.

Schedule
Next week (Oct. 6 / Oct. 11) present Online Comics
Two weeks (Oct. 13 / Oct. 18) present on the Blogging in English
