The last journey

Hello dear readers, I hope you all are doing well! 

As I wrote on the first post (the beginning), I am studying at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana a bachelor in Spanish and English language education. Along this blog you will find different posts that talk about different issues. These issues are the result of the interaction in the class of communicative competence III. I still remember that every week we talked about topics that revolved around education. How is it possible that time has passed so quickly? That is something magical and incredible. One day we decided to create a blog in which each one would make a post of the task of the week. This blog give us headaches but also a rewarding experience: you may learn through writing. I must say that at first I did not like the idea of a 'blog'. I thought it was a waste of time, but then I realized that this tool would enhance our learning, would help us improve our skills in English and of course, would allow us to share views and learn more about what each of us think regarding reality. It shows the purpose of the blog: virtual interaction and wondering.  

For that reason, I want to thank professor Danny Jean Paul Mejia Holguin (who certainly has an odd combination of name) and colleagues who made this interaction possible. Let’s try not to settle and keep improving what we know.

I do not know how good my blog is, but I feel comfortable with it. I think I did my best, but I also know that is not enough. I would like to keep writing on it but I will not write for an invisible audience. A good blog presents interaction but if there is no a person that discusses and comments on it, it is not worth. Let's see what happens. And you, what will you do with yours?  

Questions time!

Do you think it is helpful to use this tool (blog) to teach a second language? Why?
As teacher, would you use a blog to complement a class? Yes? No? Why?
How was your experience writing on your own blog and commenting the others'?
Would you like to continue writing on your blog? 

Many thanks for appreciating my job and commenting on the blog. I will keep your opinions. ‘Till forever!

    Hello, duvi thanks for sharing your experience with us...

    We consider that nowadays exist a lot of tools to teach a second language not only blogging and we can ensure how a blog could change your grammar skills,for that reason , creating a blog is one of many different ways of improve in something, not just second language adquisition.

    Yes, of course why not ? ... Teachers have to try new things and a blog is a good manner of interaction.

    It was a really good experience, we are not sure if we are going to continue posting but anything could happen.

      Hello Girls.
      It is nice to see you think something like me, I also consider teacher should try different methods. I am not saying that the classical ones are not effective, it's just that changing sometimes is a good idea.
      Many thanks for commenting!

    1. Yes it is, as long as your students and you use it properly to improve your writing style and become a better writer each time.
    2. Well maybe due to I am not a lover of these things however I think if you use it in entertaining manner it would work.
    3. It was good because I could learn of what my mates think and do.
    4. Yes, I will be uploading some paragraphs of my thinkings and interesting things for me.
