LISTENING

REFLECTION PART A

In this part, there are different lessons and in for each lesson, there were different strategies.

For me, this was the easiest part. In this part, we learned many things and strategies that can help us to understand better the listenings. For me, it was very difficult to answer each question in a short time and also that the listenings were played only once since we were used to listening to the two or three times and for me, it was better to understand the listening. There was a lesson in this part that tended to confuse me it was lesson 2," Dialogs with sound confusion". This lesson confused me because it involved confusion between words that had similar sounds. so it was hard to understand this lesson.

For me, the easiest lesson was number 9 because, in this lesson, we had to pay attention to what people in the dialogue were doing. Also, it was easy because we had to determine what activity people were doing according to the vocabulary they were using or according to the context in which the conversation was taking place. In general, I think that part A was easy.

In the exam that was done of this part, I did not do well, it was a disaster. I feel very disappointed and frustrated, but I think I have to concentrate more and practice more listening to develop more and more that skill. I am not good at listening and listening for me is the most difficult English skill but I will try to do my best and try to improve more and more using the necessary strategies to get better results.

REFLECTION PART B

This part B was more difficult than part A. The lessons were complicated. The most difficult lesson of this part was lesson 12      "Answering overview questions about extended conversations". It was really difficult because we needed an understanding of the whole conversation rather than of any specific point. so, we had to pay close attention to the whole conversation to answer the questions. In the practice of this lesson was good, I felt motivated because I understood most of the conversation, but when doing the exam I felt so bad because I did not understand many things that were important to answer the questions.

REFLECTION PART C

This part C was more or less difficult but I felt ok. Some of the lessons were easy to understand, others needed more effort and attention. I know I have to practice more to improve many aspects of the listening skill. I think I have to be faster to answer the questions because I took too much time to analyze each question and something that is not in my favor is the time. The listenings need a lot of practice and concentration, I know that in the end I will achieve it and learn a lot to put everything I learned into practice in the international exam.
