Second meeting

The second meeting of the Improve Your English course took place today, September 18. The four groups created blogs for themselves. You can access the blogs via the links in the side bar. The learners also detailed their learning plans.

We went over the support material that is collected in this blog: dictionaries, news websites, exercises etc. The groups looked at the material and made plans on how and what to work on for the next two weeks. And of course eight members of the group will be travelling to Poland this Saturday!

First meeting of the group

Two teachers and 14 course participants met for the first time on Wednesday, September 11.  The aim of the meeting was to discuss how we have learned foreign languages in the past, what helps us to learn, and what prevents learning from taking place.

We also discussed each participant's learning goals for our course and their level of English. The learners divided themselves into groups according to their language skills and areas of interest. So, after the first session we have four groups who are going to start building PLEs around a common topic.

Welcome to the blog!

Welcome to the blog of the "Improve Your English with PEOPLE" course.  In this course we will learn English using our PLEs (personal learning environments).  The purpose of this blog is to serve as a hub for learner blogs. We will also gather all kinds of support material here. You are free to choose any material that you feel is suitable for your personal learning plans and goals.
