My experience learning English at the University

I'd like to talk about my experience learning English at the university. Firstly, I chose this topic because I’ve been studying English by two years, and I think that is necessary to evaluate this experience and make a reflection about what I learned and how much I should have to learn yet. Secondly, I’d like to reflect about the classes and the methodologies that the teachers used, because I think that it had a big influence in my learning process. Finally, I’d like to talk about the things that could be improved, in the course and by the student side, to make the English course better.
How I said, I’ve been studying English by two years in the University. I started my English course in 2008, in the second level. In that time Mr. Luzzi was my teacher. After that, in the third level, Ms. Castillo made classes in my group, and now in the fourth level, Mr. Luzzi is my teacher again. I think that I’ve learned a lot of things, above all in grammar, it was my weakest skill when I started. I think that I still have to learn a lot, I’m very bad in pronouncing and there are a lot of words that I don’t know in english yet. I think that make sentences and speak, is still hard for me. But I’d like to continue learning in other place, because I think that English is very important to my career.
Well, secondly, I’d like to talk about the methodologies that the teachers used. In one hand, I think the best methodology, was the blog because it was interactive and fun. I learned a lot writing in my blog. In the other hand, I think that the worst methodology was the listening, but I have a powerful reason to say that. I think that the England pronunciation sometimes is very hard to understand and it makes more difficult any exercise.
Finally, I think that courses should be more flexible, in the sense that should be more adapted to the reality of each group of students. Moreover, I think that the students should be more commited to the classes.
In conclusion I could say that my experience learning English at the University, has had a lot of good and bad moments. I’ve learn a lot, but I have a lot to learn yet. I think that there are a lot of things to improve to make this course better, and that the university and the students have to do a big effort for the next generations.This is my last blog, because this is the last class of the last level of the English courses. I’ve had very fun moments writing here, and I’ve told you a lot of my life, I hope that you've enjoyed this.

    AS I said, I’ve been studying English FOR two years in the University. I started my English course in 2008, in the second level. AT that time Mr. Luzzi was my teacher. After that, in the third level, Ms. Castillo GAVE classes in my group, and now in the fourth level, Mr. Luzzi is my teacher again. I think that I’ve learned a lot of things, above all in grammar,WHICH was my weakest skill when I started. I think that I still have a lot to learn, I’m very bad AT pronouncing and there are a lot of words that I don’t know in English yet. I think that makING sentences and speakING is still hard for me. But I’d like to continue learning in ANother place, because I think that English is very important FOR my career.
