Ai reuit s parcurgei cursul de limba englez din cadrul
Programului A doua ans. Felicitri!
Este momentul s facei din nou nsemnri n jurnalul de
nvare. Pentru a comunica bine ntr-o limb strin, avem nevoie
de patru abiliti de baz: nelegerea dup auz, cititul, vorbitul i
scrisul. n care dintre cele patru abiliti simii c ai fcut
progresele cele mai mari? De care dintre cele patru abiliti avei
nevoie cel mai mult n ceea ce facei (n munc, vizite etc.)? Ce fel de
exerciii sau activiti v-ar putea ajuta s v mbuntii abilitile
de care avei nevoie cel mai mult?
nainte de evaluarea final, reluai fiecare lecie i analizai n
special seciunea introductiv "What you will learn" i cea final
"Check this!". Acest lucru v va ajuta s identificai ariile n care nu
v simii nc destul de bine pregtit, permindu-v s v
canalizai eforturile ntr-acolo. Reluai apoi exerciiile din fiele de
auto-evaluare. Dac ai dat deja teste de parcurs, revedei
corecturile i explicaiile profesorului dumneavoastr. Asigurai-v
c le-ai neles. Dac e nevoie, cerei explicaii suplimentare.
Revedei cuvintele i expresiile folosite n fiecare lecie. Folosii
vocabularul de la sfritul manualului dac nu v amintii nelesul
unora dintre acestea.
n final, ncercai s compunei exerciii asemntoare cu cele din
fiele de auto-evaluare. Fcnd acest lucru, vei sesiza unde pot
aprea probleme. Lucrai mpreun cu unul din colegii de clas i
facei schimb de exerciii. Rezolvai fiecare exerciiile compuse de
cellalt i apoi discutai mpreun. Acolo unde nu suntei sigur care
este varianta corect, consultai seciunea respectiv din manual
sau solicitai sprijinul profesorului.
n final, adoptai o atitudine pozitiv fa de evaluare: rostul
acesteia nu este s sancioneze nereuita ci s sprijine nvarea.
