FINAL PROJECT HOORAY!!!

Phew!! This was a very intensive week, I finished my final project!
Our final project was based on Action Research, we needed to identify an specific problem our students had in order to solve it with an Educational Technology Tool.



PROBLEM: "Students need to improve their spoken and listening skills mainly, in order to establish a fluent conversation in English. It seems like the practice in the traditional class is not enough to accomplish their graduation goal." 

EDUCATIONAL SOLUTION: I decided to take the students to the self access center so that they could practice their listening skills through the computers/software. The second dynamic I chose was to have a conversation club with the purpose of improving their spoken and pronunciation skills. In this conversation club, students were asked to record their conversations on their cell phones so that they could listen to themselves, and I helped them make corrections. 

In short, I can say that the activities were very successful! 

I finished my project! I'm so happy!!!

PEER FEEDBACK

I really liked the idea of having peer-feedback, first of all it really helped me to hurry up, thanks a million Urla for pushing me! and it also helped me to have another point of view about my project. The pre-draft template was a fantastic idea as well, it helped me to figure out the path of the project, and in this way it's going to be so much easier to finish it. Nevertheless I'm still working on it.
