https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary Learning diary is a tool to share what I will be learning in English Specific Porpuses en-us 2018-10-09 10:58:53 UTC 2019-05-14 11:14:22 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Folder.png a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/290655166 The first post is to share what I have learned until today.
   We were watching a video while we were taking notes about it. Later I shared them with my classmates (in my opinion,this part was funny). After that we did a mind map to explain to the rest of the class what we had learned.
   My group had to take notes about studying in the UK.We thought about using goconqr instead of using bubbl.us,however we finally decided to use bubbl.us because was easier.
   We did the presentation and I was too nervous and that is why I made mistakes but I  have learned useful tips to share my ideas and reasons to study in the UK.Although,I don't like the idea of going far from my family and friends,later we heard the rest of the presentations.]]> 2018-10-09 11:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/290655166 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/298431786   This post is to explain what we were doing last weeks.
  Firstly we took notes in universities webpages,entry requirements and grands.This part surprised me because I used to thought that going abroad to study in other country was too difficult although I have most of requirements (not language level).
  Later we started working with résumé and cv,first we watched an example and saw differences between them (résumé is summarized and more visual),when we finished with this we commenced doing a brainstorm to take notes to do our own résumé.I got surprised with that too because I used to thought that I haven't done/did so much things in my life but when I started to write I have done useful things along my life.]]> 2018-10-30 11:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/298431786 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/298440894   When we stopped working with our own résumé we begin working with amy's cover letter,taking notes and getting important expressions to use later.I was surprised about how many things she has done/did being young and encouraged me to keep working hard to reach my objectives (I have learned vocabulary that I consider very useful too).
  The next day Amy's came to class and explained us how was her Erasmus,funny experiences and she brought us confidence to be brave and going abroad.
  To be honest the presentation confused me because I had had the idea of study my career here and stay with my friends but after whole this work I have no notion about my future,the fact is that I have changed my mind.]]> 2018-10-30 12:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/298440894 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/308219362 After Amy explanation about her erasmus and with notes that we had taken.
 First of all was hard for me because I am not very expressive,but with Amy and Nieves help I felt more confidence to do my own cover letter.Later I started correcting my cover letter and I felt that I improved differents mistakes that I used to make usually.

  I thought that Erasmus+ was a grant for students.However it gives options to teachers or people who do volunteering activities. Finally we had to post a comment in the blog if we felt attracted by one of the grants,personally I was grateful surprised with grants for master degrees.

Finally in my opinion canva is helpless because it does not help users to edit templates. However I believe resume will be useful for our future life.
  Doing resume was exciting because firstly I have no idea about how to start but with classmate help,teacher help and examples from the web I got the idea about resume. However it was hard for me to summarize the cover letter in the resume although I finally did it so this task helped me to improve things like summarizing or using new tools.]]> 2018-12-11 12:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/313353647 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/321635866 After 3 month working on english for specific pourposes classes I learned things like tools to do presentations,improved my english grammar and get tips for my job life. In the second term I want to solve my english problems and keep exploring about studying abroad.]]> 2019-01-17 12:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/321635866 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/321636606  We started watching a video about how to behave and how not to behave,we had to take notes about the video. 
  In my opinion the video was actually sarcastic, too much I believe because there are no middle point of view.
  The video showed me tips that I didn't know like showing passions for the subject,ask to rephrase questions and be up to date.
 Later we had to use a tool to make a presentation to present it after,the tool was genially in my opinion the best tool that I have ever used to make presentation because give you too much freedom to do what do you want,now im nervous because present is not my stronger point but in the end im confidence about my self because I thinkn it will be more easy than I expect.

Firstly we had to do the questions in pairs (I did it with Diego) and later compare the answers with what he have to say, I answer everything what I don't have to answer so I had things to learn,after we took notes about how we have to answer. ]]> 2019-01-24 12:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/323862686 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/331243785   We started to see a video who gives tips for interview questions,and we had to complete the notes that we had taken before with the document.
  Later, we have to answer the questions and Nieves will ask you randomly each question to us to improve our pronunciation, I am nervous but I am confidence and enthusiastic. Finally we will send Nieves a record answering the question, I chose what is the historical figure do you most admire.

We took notes and I learned new things like not to look away when you are telling something important]]> 2019-02-19 12:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/332639139 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/335306896 I finished whole my tasks and now I have to record my voice to finish the project. I am not confidence because I am shy although I believe I will overtake my fears and do a nice speaking.
  Finally I recorded my video and was nice because it was more easy than I expected so now I think I am better doing speaking and have more knowledge about body language.]]> 2019-02-26 11:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/335306896 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/337856245 2019-03-05 12:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/337856245 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/349871539 2019-04-09 11:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/349871539 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/349872294 The first activity we did in third term was looked up the differences between a broadshit and a tabloid, this was new to me because in Spain there are no famous tabloid, I got surprised because broadshit are bigger than spanish newspapers, in addition I felt really curious because tabloids are easier to read than broadsheets.
Once we finished taking notes about differences we did a presentation (me with Diego) about the notes we had taken, I felt confidence about myself because I think that I improved along the terms

When we finished looking for a flat we had to share the flat that we had chosen in the classroom. 
  Later we wrote a comment about our prefferences when we have to hire a flat (place or  people, are you tidy?, do you want a cleaner?, etc). I believe that I learned about what means to share a flat with more people

Finally she overcame his fears and now she is good at small talk and gives tips to help people.
  Later we wrote a comment answering if we will be in the same situation, to be honest I think that at first I will be shy and will be hard to get confidence with someone but later get confidence will be easier.]]> 2019-04-09 11:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/349872811 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/356146727 This time we saw a video to learn about small talks. The video told about which topics we can talk about in England and which topics we can not talk about. I found this video really surprising because they don't like to talk about a family which is an usual topic here and I wrote about this and how the cultures can make everything different like a usual small talk.]]> 2019-05-02 11:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/356146727 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/357559105 Now we have to make a plan for weekend and we divided the class in 3 groups: music,theatre and cinema. I chose music because I love going to hear live music and I got surprised about the places to hear live music in London, I mean in Seville there are no pubs with music underground and that is amazing, what I more liked is that there are groups which you can hear for free what is really interesting.
  Finally we had a speaking about the weekend's plan and I believe that I improved a lot.]]> 2019-05-07 11:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/357559105 a_javdeelor https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/357562375 We started reading a post which talks about tv popular series in England, it was grateful because I saw series that I have seen before in my house like games of thrones.
 Later we had to write a comment in the blog trying to convince our flatemates to watch a series. I chose Chernobyl because I love historical series and Chernobyl tell the final history of cold war and it is very interesting.
  We did the final task which was about English's icons like fish and chips or tea and it is interesting how depending on the country you are you have a different English's icon.]]> 2019-05-07 11:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/a_javdeelor/ESP_learning_diary/wish/357562375
