MIDTERM SELF-­‐ASSESSMENT

Image result for self assessment

Please use these questions as a guideline for your mid-term evaluation. Your comments will be taken seriously in my assignment of your course grade.

1.  Review your list of personal goals for the class. Which of these goals is most important to you?
    What progress have you made in achieving these goals? Where do you want to go from here?

2.  Reflect on your involvement in class. How would you evaluate your level of participation? 
    Consider general attendance, promptness, participation in small and large group discussions, 
    peer editing, conferencing, etc.

3.  In what ways did your participation contribute to your learning in this course?

4.  What do you see as your particular strengths in relation to the course? What do you believe 
     have been your most significant personal contributions or accomplishments so far?

5.  Assess the cleanliness and overall organization of your system for keeping class notes and
    assignments. Are your papers clean, smooth, and even? No ragged edges? Does this system 
    work for you? Is it easy to find old assignments, notes, and other resources in your notebook?

The following questions will not be graded. They are simply an opportunity for me to learn more about your needs and expectations for this class. Feel free to answer them anonymously on another piece of paper if that would help you feel more comfortable or open.

1.  What do you feel are the strengths of this course?
2.  What suggestions do you have for improving the course?

Schumann’s Acculturation Model

Schumann's Acculturation Model Consider how these social and psychological factors affect the extent of the learner’s capacity to learn his or her second language (L2).   Schumann asserts that the more distance created between the L2 learner and his or her target language (TL) culture by such factors, the less contact s/he will have with the TL culture and thus the lower will his or her expected L2 proficiency be. Furthermore, he considers the social factors to be the prime influences; the psychological factors come into play and become the deciding factors only in situations where the combined social factors create neither positive nor negative circumstances for the learner.   Which outcomes of each of these factors make for a bad learning situation and which ones for a good learning situation? Consider as many as apply to your group’s learner testimonial. Social Distance Factors Social dominance : Is the learner’s native group dominant to, equal to, or subor...

English Pronunciation for Turkish Speakers

Areas of Difficulty for Turkish Speakers Consonants: I.    /t/ & /d/: When Turkish speakers of English pronounce these alveolar consonants, they touch the back of their upper teeth with the tip of their tongue. Instead, try to form a constriction by touching your alveolar ridge (the area behind your upper teeth) with the tip of your tongue. Pronounce these sounds in different phonological environments such as word-initial, medial, and final position and in consonant clusters. tiresome      little      brat       staple    burst     crest                  totalitarianism automatic    trickster            cattle     dental    tirade    tardy     training technique    tangle...

Knowing a Word

Knowing a Word   Fluent native speakers intuitively know how to use a lexical item in the appropriate context. They can even determine meaning of an unfamiliar word when it is written or spoken. However, second language learners may not understand what constitutes knowledge of vocabulary. This post delineates the various strands of vocabulary non-native speakers need to acquire to become highly proficient in writing and speaking in their second language.  1. Word meaning:  Knowing a word entails understanding it when it is written and/or spoken by      others in formal contexts. Native speakers do this readily without asking for clarification, but      second language learners need to acquire this tacit knowledge of vocabulary.  2. Recall: A fluent speaker of a language can recall a word when it is needed in writing or in speech.     S/he can incorporate the needed word while speaking without looking it up...
