Week 3: Skill-building Websites for Oral/Aural Skills and Saving Bookmarks with Delicious

Week 3: Skill-building Websites for Oral/Aural Skills and Saving Bookmarks with Delicious


This week is one of my busiest weeks. I have work, this online course, and my brother's weeding. I've been very busy preparing for the wedding party and thanks God it all went as planned and now he and his lovely pride are enjoying their honeymoon in Malaysia.

During this week, I've learned new things and have broadened by perspectives regarding using technology in teaching oral/aural skills. Among the different websites and lesson plans offered for exploration this week, I like Randall's- ESL Cyber Listening Lab and I used it in one of my writing classes. My students loved it and I encouraged them to use it outside the classroom to enhance their listening skills.

Added to that, It's my first time to hear about Delicious.com. I never heard about online sites or tools for storing useful links. Amazing! I can now create my own favourite links and get access to them easily and from any computer. In the past, I lost so many links to useful-websites because I marked them as favourite on different computers. Thanks to Delicious.com as it will help me storing all favourite links in one page. Here is the URL to my Delicious Page: https://delicious.com/hoopoo

Before having a look at the samples of research projects during this week, I was worried about how to conduct an action research, what shall I do, and how can I write the final report.  Now, I'm relieved. I realized how easy it is if I follow the same steps, and I'm eager to start working on my own project.
