Hi Shelley!
I was browsing in the internet and remembered about the blog. How are you?
I'm taking the speaking course in CELE with teacher Luis Cabrera. I'm enjoying the course; the teacher is very good and it is a nice group ^^. Alicia is in my group, do you remember her?
Did you receive the mail about the meeting? Will you go? I hope so.
I miss your course and your smiling face too, you're such a nice person :)
I'll keep reading the blog, so we're in touch!
Hope to see you soon!

In case you visit here ...
Hi everyone!
I don't know if you ever visit here to see if anyone's written anything. I don't have an English class this semester at the CELE (I'm teaching in the Formación de Profesores course) and I miss your smiling (and sometimes sleepy) faces a lot!
I'd love to know which course you're currently doing, those that are still taking courses at the CELE, and how it is going with you. Also, any other news you'd care to share - how your university / postgraduate studies are going, any interesting news ... feel free to write anything here!
I'm in touch with some of you on Facebook but for others who prefer to avoid that particular space, you're welcome to write here.
Take care!
Shelley

HELLO
Before evaluating my performance in class, I would like to mention that the activities and the method of teaching were very good.
The experience to learn new things of another culture simply fascinating.
Another essential thing is to have a native speaker to improve the listening that is why during the course I concentrated my attention in my pronunciation for that reason I thank you for the web site that you recommended in the blog and I suggest this dictionary in which you can hear the British and the United States pronunciation of the word that you are looking.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/
My performance in class I feel was good in my personal way to learn, as I told you I take more time in processing new information, reason why I do not like to saturate myself of data that I am going to forget this is my strategy to get forever the new knowledge.
With me I acquire all the strategies of learning that are being used continuously in the implementation of the language in its different forms.
In a simple way “the best course I have taken”
And remember. "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
Best regards.

Hi everybody!!! Hello Shelley!!!!!
First of all I want to say I’m sorry, and it is incredible but this is the second time I write on the blog. I am really sorry, and there is any excuse to explain it. But well, I write for two reasons: the former is an opinion about the course and the later is the self evaluation.
About the course is easy to give an opinion about it because is the third semester I am in the CELE and I have elements to compare, in a good way, the work and the goals reached in class. The previous semesters were good, one was very funny but maybe there were absences of contents. The other course was complete in the sense of the contents of the book but it was a little boring. In this case I felt very comfortable in class, I liked all the activities, the home works and the movies of course!!!!
I was going to write one week ago and claim for a reunion (party), because i think there is not a total interaction between the classmates. Some of us were in previous semesters but most of us did not know ourselves. So, when I knew about the party I felt happy and I celebrated it.
I really enjoyed the cultural part of the class. Thanks everybody for sharing your experiences and curious and important knowledge. Thanks Shelley for share with us a little bit about your great country, you made me wish to go to Australia.
About my self-evaluation there are some things that I want to say:
* About my performance in the class I think it was regular. One problem that I have at the beginning of any process is my shyness. I don't talk a lot, and to do it is necessary so much time and work. That's why sometimes I don't do so much participations, but with the pass of the time I talk more and I really impressed myself with my participations.
* Talking about the home works I always did it. There were about two home works that I didn't deliver in time but I did it after and I gave an explanation.
* In the attendance I think I was one of the most regular students in the class. I always arrived in time and when I did not come I investigated the homeworks and I did it.
Finally. I want to express my advance in the class. I think listening is still my weakest part in English, but this course made me to improve it and I noticed a big advance. I am good in grammar, but I think I’m going to take the advanced course of grammar and after listening. This is for two reasons. In the future I'd like to write on a magazine about architecture and I would like to do it in different languages (or at least in two), and it is important to write well.
Well I think that's all. I would like to thank everybody for the good moments in the classes and to you Shelley for the perfect leading in the course!!!
See you soon and I hope to see you everybody in other times, starting with the party of tomorrow. I'm sure we’re going to enjoy it.
So, see you tomorrow!!!!!!

>< self evaluation ><
To write a self evaluation is not easy for me because of two reasons: the first one is that the process of notice what you have learned is not a simple thing, you have to turn your eyes into the pass and imagine yourself at the beginning of the road; and the place where you can do this is the opposite of the beginning: the end. And this is obviously the second reason that stop me.
And this is the moment for give you all my sincere thanks because the improvements and learning couldn´t be possible without you. As I said at first time I write on the blog, I was stuck with the language, but I have learn a lot of grammar however the most important of this is that I have learn it with exercise and practice that Shelly, with the help of the book and the exercise made by herself, helps us to do. Besides this, I know my grammar knowledge isn´t perfect, I could have work more on learning English better but I didn´t :( my effort wasn´t very big.
There is a little thing that I want to say: my pronunciation is awful (I think it was worst at the beginning of the semester than now) and sometimes I think Shelly understand me just for mimic and no because of my words and I really appreciate the patience of lead me try to explain a situation by my own. Her patience have help me to improve the way I talk.
I know I have a lot of thing for improve but I really think the ones that I mentioned were the most important.
Thank you for a great and fun semester XOXO

Hi everybody, this is my self evaluation and I would like to start with an special acknowledgement to Shelley for everything in this course mainly for your dedication to your job, was a pleasure to work with you.
In my opinion my performance along the semester was regular because I had a lot of absences and that was a problem with the program for the semester because I didn´t learn enough about topics in which I´m not very good.
In this course I learnt a lot of vocabulary and more about structures that I tought I had learnt very well that´s important for me because I knew new interesting things about this language.
I improved in my grammar and listening, was an important situation don´t speak in spanish because it helps to make an special effort to understand better what people say.
On the other hand, I have to improve in gerunds and infinitives, it is very difficult to me, I need to work in that.
Ok, that´s it, I hope see you again in other moment, nice to meet you.

Hi Shelley!!!
Well, Ithink this semester was really helpful to me to learn more and improve my English, even though I have many problems with prepositions and specially, when I'm speaking, I have more problems with the use of times in my sentenses. I think the reason is fossilization, I'll keep working on it.
I put all my effort in my homeworks, but I guess I could improve more because I know I can. Also I think that my exams could be better.
The methods that You used were really good, I loved the journal writting because it helped me to know more words and usually, the topics were funny and interesting.
Read the book, was a different activity for me, I never did that, so I learned to geta general idea of a book.
One thing that helped me to know more was the part of the class where we checked our mistakes or the common mistakes and the tips you gave us
Finally, I thank your patience because I know I have many problems speaking and writting and you always explained me and corrected me in a very good way, with kindness.
My best wishes and success.
Alicia Islas
By the way, how many dishes and glasses should I take to???
