Week 4 reflection

        The most important thing I remember for now was how to find reading and writing resources that count to your class. I mean by to count, is to really have an effect on students’ learning and language development. I thought” God, how can I find interesting websites to integrate to a class that is devoted for assessment like mine?” Then I found my lost links, just by logging in and searching or finding a recommendation by a colleague. This week I found a good recommendation from this course. It is the following website:

http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/

       This website has really interesting lesson plans and websites that can “assess” and “teach” your students what you want to teach for them and what they want to learn.  This week, helped me with a website that might be little in the wording but great in the effect that it may add to my class. This Thursday, I have participated in a CALL discussion with colleagues from the University of Graz in Austria and they liked it too and recommended using it.  What is good also about it is this integration of language skills that it stresses. This means I can use it in the instruction of reading, writing, listening and speaking sessions too.  To me, this week is very very fruitful.
