Hi everyone,
I've returned all of your presentation outlines. Make sure you correct your outlines, and add more information, before our presentations. Discussions: In our discussions today, group leaders made improvement in giving their summaries and opinions. I'm glad that you're checking understanding more often now. In your discussions, they're still not long enough -- less than 15 minutes. This means that there isn't enough conversational style. When someone make a comment in your group, it's important to ask follow-up questions. Follow-up questions ask for more information about the speaker's comment. Each group member should ask a follow-up question after they hear a comment from one of their group members. Body Language: To help you deliver your presentations next week, we learned about gestures and voice inflection. Non-verbal language (body language) is just as important (or even more important) than the spoken word. To demonstrate this, I gave a short explanation in French. When I gave my explanation without gestures, NOBODY understood what I said. However, when I supported it with gestures, all of you could understand the main idea of my explaination. There are four types of gestures: a. number / sequence b. illustration / location c. emphasis / focus d. comparison Presentation Poster: Before the end of our lesson, we went through the guidelines for making your poster for your presentation. You'll need to use photos, pictures, drawings, maps, etc. on your poster and have an attractive titles. You can use key words and phrases, but don't use sentences and/or paragraphs. Homework: 1. Discussions (last one) 2. Blog Post #10 3. Complete your poster Blog Question #10: Do you think your English skills have made progress this semester? Why or why not? Give examples.

I think that the English ability is included than the front that begins to take this class. Particularly, there was communicative competence to talk about in English. For example, it is a discussion to be carried out during class. There was not the confidence, but I should do what to reach the partner or came to devise whether you could speak steady English. And,it is a point to have to speak only English that is one of the rules in the class. Only English suffered when not usable and was able to feel English difficulty some other time. And , if there was a word not to understand, I checked prints distributed in a class and came to wrestle voluntarily to understand it. I think that all which I worked on in a class is a factor increasing English ability.

I think my English skill have made progress this semester. I like to travel abroad, also we want to make friends of foreigners. But I don’t speak English and do not have confidence. This first class lesson, I was afraid because I only so much English was the anxiety. However gradually it seemed trying to do my best even myself out to talk with everyone. In addition, now I think that comes with also the power to consider the sentence. If I worked using English, I don’t want to be at a loss. Therefore I think that I should develop to need English skills now. And, through this class, I increae words quanity, and I want to make sentense more early.

I think my English skill have made progress this semester.This is because time to hang it for the problem to be given gradually decreased every week.Though it did not readily occur to English in accord with Japanese, it became easy to hit on the first one while I talked by a class.In addition, I became able to cope when a course was asked by a foreigner.However, I think that it is insufficient. So I want to acquire skill to speak English by a class from now on.And I want to become able to go abroad alone.In addition, I want to become it so that it is helped if there is the foreigner who is troubled in Japan.

I think my English skill have made progress this semester. Because there was no confidence in their own English until now. But now than before I was able to aggressively conversation. I think I am thanks to each lesson. Easy to understand that they go doing the challenge slowly one by one in the classroom. So I can speak even if there is or embarrassment did not know the word. The important thing is the feeling that you want to tell the other party. I want to learn to be able to more conversation in the coming lessons.

I think an English skill was brought along a little by this session. I'm not really good at English. I avoided English so far and was living. However, I communicate at this session. Communication isn't avoided. It isn't different but is fun that I'm not good at English. The feeling which seems fun is important. I think when it can be brought along by that more.

I think my English skills have made progress this semester. Because we have a lot of time to talk in this class. When I talk in "Speed Discussion", I can talk various topics. It's reason to improve my English skills. In addition, I could learn discussion styles. It's different from Japanese style. So, it's difficult for me. I want to get used to do that next semester.

I think my English skills have made progress this semester. I can speak only English during class. It was difficult to hear English meaning. However, I came to be able to understand some English meanings now. In addition, I came to be able to speak English smoothly. Particularly, I think that my English skill improved through discussions. I want to continue improving my English skill from now on. So, I want to take a class hard.

I think my English skills have made progress this semester. In this April, I couldn't have all conversation in English. The reason is that if I was put on the situation that I had to speak English, I was strained and my head went blank. However, the number of silence decrease recently. Also, when I was one of discussion members in May, I hardly caught my group leader's words. I am bad to listen and understand English from way back. However, I try to hear the saying of a group leader now. I have to improve my English skills.
