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!!!
Dear Gloria,

Hope you keep in touch and also mark your country on the map ;)
Thank you. Best greetings,

Hi Gloria,
ResponderEliminarI shared you and Alex the same sigh of relief of finishing the final project. I admired your choice of the problem and the solution as well. You chose a very important tool for learning autonomy which is the self access center where students can learn at their own pace and have alternatives. The focus on listening and speaking is crucial for our students to communicate in English fluently. The idea of conversation club is wonderful along with using mobiles. It seems that you integrate many technology tools in your project. I am excited to read your project and I will read it. Hope we can keep in touch after the course.
