My First Assignment


The first and most intensive class I take is the Language Acquisition: Social & Psychological Dimensions by Dr. Alex. With the three-week class, I need to complete an assignment in which I am required to start learning a completely new language. I have to keep a daily study log for the period of three weeks and at the end I have to write up a report in which I have to describe my new language study and discuss which theories applied to my experience as a language learner and which ones did not apply. I also have to compare and contrast my experience of that of my classmates so as to analyze the reason why I have learnt relatively more or less than the others have done.

I decided to take up Spanish! The methods I am going to use are:
  1.  Listen to the audio CD Dr. Alex gave me for half hour a day
  2.  Do some more practice on an online material: http://www.123teachme.com/
  3.  Listen to Spanish Radio online: When I started studying my English ten years ago, I also listened to the BBC World Service everyday, eventh ough I didn’t get anything until about 3 years later.
I am curious to see how it goes.
