My learning goals of E7 study

E7 is my last 5 weeks of language course in REW, 20 week's language study is a little long, but I have already conquered it. These 5 weeks well become the key to my postgraduate study, thanks to Carla asked us to submit our goals. Without this goals, it is very easy to get lost when we studying. Here are my learning goals and strategy.

Listening
-trying to listen more lecture material on internet
-improving my listen skills in numeral aspects
-improving my listening in watching TV
i. 30minutes listening test will be very difficult to concentrate and take notes. Even I record it; maybe it is still a little hard to answer questions due to terrible handwriting and disordered structure. So I need to do listening practices everyday and learn how to record lecture logically and smoothly.
ii. examine myself regularly especially some big numbers
iii. finish 10 months’ ‘behind the news’ program

Reading
-adapting long journal reading and finding author’s argument more quickly
-forming a critical thinking habit
-do not use the dictionary in the first-time reading
i. I will read different articles and increase the ability of concentration and fast reading. I think fast reading is very important in this model. Understanding the author’ arguments may be a little bit harder than before. So I need to practise, practise and practise. Practise make perfect! Only in this way, I can confront with final reading test confidently.
ii. I will also do some headline matching enable me to understand the article more precisely.
iii. I need to work hard to learn how to identify the weak evidences of author. Due to our culture, this may be a little difficult, so I need to humbly learn for Carla and my classmates.
iv. The reading exam of this module might contain a lot of new vocabularies for me, so I need to form a habit to not depend to dictionary. However, I also need to pick up the new word after I finishing the question.

Writing
-improving the speed of writing
-avoiding basic grammar mistakes
-expand more ideas and academic vocabulary
I. The speed of writing always is my weakness, because of this; I always lose some unnecessary marks. Such as some basic grammar mistakes.
II. I need to think more carefully before I writing, never let the phenomenon, which writing “chose” as “choosed”, happen again.
III. Another important thing in writing is enrich my vocabulary. Using new word in writing can largely help me remember new word and it is also very interesting.

Speaking
-making more improvement in simple past tense
-making the oral presentation more logically
I. I can write something happened in the past and then read it or tell this story to my classmates, this way can help me get used to the simple past tense
II. I’d better find a suitable topic which is easy expand ideas
