Have you ever taken two ELIs in two
different states and got graduated from? I have lived in Colorado, attending
Colorado State University where I was learning English language for my first
time. A actually learned many things in terms of developing my English skills. After
I graduated from ELI at Colorado, I had to move to Michigan because the
Colorado state did not accept my enrollment. So I moved to Michigan to get
enrolled at Wayne States University, but they did not accept the completion for
Colorado States University, so I had to retake English courses again; that
enhanced my English rapidly in terms of my reading, and especially writing.
Looking at the course outcomes of
this course which are the learning skills that need to be maintained an absorbed
by the end of this course, reading is one of the English skills that I am still
working on. My problem is understanding vocabulary in context where that has an
effect on my understanding of the whole article or essay. My goal in this type
of skill I to develop more reading confidence and work on define any word that I
go across.
Writing is also one of the skills
that this course is aiming for. Writing used to be my enemy during my journey learning
English. My problem in writing was that I write based on quantity where I
always ask myself whether it is wordy enough. But one day somebody told me that
“writing is about quality not quantity.”
Reflecting on one’s writing is another
outcome in this course where I actually do not have any problem with because one
of my personality is to criticize people and comment on.
Last but not least, researching one
of the methods that I like because it can help in supporting whatever I am writing
about and make it more reliable and believable by quoting famous people or resources which are well known of their accuracy of information.
My goal in this class is to enhance
my reading and writing skills mostly because, to me, if these two skills are
not well controlled and skilled, they can affect your process in researching and
reflecting.
