Learning Reflection
From A Discourse Approach in Reading (1551108 ) course. I had learnt many genres of texts like recount, narrative, descriptive, procedure, comparison, contrast, cause, effect, definition, classification, explication, problem and solution. Moreover, as you can see from my previous blogs and I also learned about discourse markers, that would be very useful for my reading skill.

I improve my four language skills from
this amazing course. I improved my reading skills by reading lots
of texts and analyzing it. I improved my writing skill by writing many blogs about
what I had learnt from each class every week and also by doing many writing
exercises and I also improved my listening skill because the teacher always let us listen how
to pronounce words correctly like native speaker does from Cambridge
Dictionary Online. Moreover, I improved my speaking skill by discussing with
friends about the lessons in English every class and in this course, teacher
also asked us to make cooking videos in English then presented it in class, I
spoke a lot of English on that video. In addition, I also became more creative
by creating cooking video and story book that teacher asked us to do so you can’t
deny that I got a lot of things from this useful course.
The difficult and easy things that I
found in this course.
In my
opinion, the difficult things that I found in this course were that when I had
to read the passages that there were many academic words and I also think that writing main idea of each texts was
pretty difficult for me, I understood what was the text about, but I couldn’t write
them in my own words and another thing was grammar, sometimes grammar
made me confuse about the sentences so I didn’t understand what the authors want
to express exactly but I could solve those problems by searching on the
internet, finding it on dictionary, asking my friends and teacher. The easy
thing that I found was narrative because in this lesson, I had to read only one
story called Secrets by Tim Winton and it was easy for me to study through
story because it made me understand the lesson easier.

My
attitudes toward to the lesson
In my opinion, first I thought that
this course would be hard for me because the name of the course sounds
difficult ,but after attended to this course made me know that it’s not that
hard because there are lots of discourse markers that can help you to understand
what you are reading easier moreover, also help you to know the genres of those
texts. I think this course is very useful for all students because it can help
them to get the main idea of what they are reading easier and understand the text
deeply. In addition, writing weblogs for this course really help you to improve your writing skill as someone said
“Writing is hard, but the more you write, and
enjoy what you write, the better it gets”
Finally, I want to say thank you to Asst.Prof.Dr.
Usa Noytim who taught me a lot of things
not only the lessons but also about manners, morality and many things that will
be very useful for my life and my future as a teacher. Thank you for being such a great role model and generous
teacher. You didn’t only tell me what to do but also showed me how. Studying with you two courses was my pleasure. I have got a lot of knowledges and many great lessons for living from your class.You become one of my favorite teachers. I hope i will have a chance to study with you again. I love youuuuuu ♥
Ps. Congratulate
on your retirement !
