Resourceful Reading

things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”

“So many things to go through. So many new articles to read through. So
many new materials to learn through.”
– Kamlesh Joshi
It makes me really happy to add new knowledge
while being on this course. Week 3 was full of the reading
articles and searching for new things for preparing the report progress. I went
through many reading articles, reports etc. with interactive websites embedded
with lesson plans. This progressing week is teaching us new form of
learning. This time, Nicenet discussions were such long that I cannot read all
of them. I have go through them rather not thoroughly. In the beginning only I
got to know that I have to face DRC (Doctoral Research Committee) for PhD
admission so I was bit tensed about working on this project and drafting the
presentation of Research. I am happy to share with you all that I have been
selected as a PhD candidate under Gujarat Technological University.
Writing assignment began with
‘delicious’ which was something most important thing as I have been using with
Feedly, Pocket, Evernote etc. earlier so I knew the importance but by using, it
has created the value within my learning style. I have added some links which
are very important and want to add many more but it requires particular effort
to be made rather I prefer pocket which is helping me to read the articles on
offline mode when internet is not available many a time.
I have read Miller's
"Developing Listening Skills with Authentic Materials" where he has
rightly focused on importance of choosing authentic material as a teacher. I
myself give so much importantance to the listening skills that I am always fond of
listening the lectures of native speakers. I would say that I have developed
ability of speaking good English because of listening only. It gives you
immense exposer so one can begin easily. I have maintained habit of listening
TED Talks for being updated with new trends and technology also it teaches many
more things.
The Report I have written is of
Nadina Nicolici, Lorin Salagean Technical Highschool, Romania. We are being L2
Second Language learner surprisingly English is 3rd language for them. I have
learned many things from her experience and challenges she has faced. Most
importantly the timeline she has mentioned carried through the implementation
of activities and trial task for improving the students’ performance takes
weightage of understanding the experiment with clear monitoring of her idea of
using the tools properly.
Lets’ hope for new exciting
week 4 for making the things into practice.
Thanking You

Hi Kamlesh,
First of all I´d like to wish you best of luck on the Phd admission process.
The blog design is really welcoming and reading your week´s experience was really worth it and gave me some inspirations on how to model my own week´s post
I´m going to investigate the use of pocket as it can be useful when one is offline. I also agree on the importance of using authentic material. Very interesting to know about how you developed your own speaking skills. To that, I´d like to add that until learners develop the skills to take the most benefit from authentic material, awe can definitely offer tools so that the overall impression from this practice is noticed as pleasant and beneficial instead of overwhelming.
Enjoy week 4.

Hi Kamlesh,
I like your quotation and the meaning you draw for your own context. I notice that we had chosen the same report by Nadina. You are right, we can learn alot from her project.

Hello Juliana Ma’am,
Thank you very much for your mighty wishes.
So sweet to know that my post of the week is carrying such importance in so many mates like you. Pocket is very friendly in terms of chrome extension and Android App. I have it on all devices.
One things I would say I am also inspired with your writings, I hope I could develop such.

Thanks Baetty,
First of all I really like your name, reading Nadina was inspiration as she has many challenges and overcame the failure.
Thanking You again. . ..
Hi Kamlesh,
Tks a lot for your prompt reply and for your further comments about Pocket.
