Week 3 "Delicious week"

That week  we have done 3 tasks ,Week 3 discussion about aural/oral  skill building, week 3 project step 2 and  week 3 task  how to create delicious  page.   I feel really excited to share  that site with others, which serves as a private bank for the one he uses ,  with my colleagues and my students . It's a web hosting or organizer for saving all the favorite links that we found on the internet so you don't have bookmark  these links. Delicious site provides us with  a good opportunity to keep our favorite sites and web pages. You can include links to other people's Delicious pages on your page, too. You have a choice to share your links with other people. Really it is considered a big treasure. For all what mentioned, I called  week 3 , Delicious week.
Lindsey Miller's article ‘Developing Listening Skills with Authentic Materials' has significantly added to my  knowledge of teaching listening. I have learnt how to plan a listening lesson effectively and I'm going to apply these steps on planning my listening lesson.  I have also learnt that listening exercises could be divided into three main parts: Pre-listening, While-listening, Post-listening activities.
Related to the previous task we were asked  to visit Aural /Oral skills building web site to explore only those site which help building listening /speaking skills and make a practical search for a specific topic then judge to which extent these sites suit and serve the needs of my students.
I explored many sites and shared many other useful ones with my colleagues . I booked them all in my delicious bookmarks to be a reference to me , my students , and my teachers . I found : http://www.real-english.com/as a very suitable website for my students' needs and interests .
It is so fascinating for me to see all those websites which deals with teaching listening ,speaking and pronunciation that provide students and teachers with useful tips and plans. I went through some of the quizzes, listened to conversations, and read some of the articles beside reading the posts and the reflection of my colleagues in the nicenet or in their blogs. Really it is a fruitful and  delicious week.
