Learning English II
"In what ways can listening to songs in English help learners?"
As in my previous post, learning English (or any subjects, for that matter) is easier when it is fun. And what fun way to learn, is through music. Some may think that, words and phrases in songs are different with daily conversation. Although it might be true in some cases, but through songs, we tend to remember words better. Influence from really good English songs might also generate more interest to learn the language itself.
Through my personal experience, I used to like to sing songs while not knowing what the meaning was. As time goes and as my command of English is getting better,I try to listen back to those songs.It brings back memories as well as the satisfaction of finally knowing what I was singing all this time! :)

I think the video was interesting because I can relate to it too. I'm not a native English speaker, and there are many ways that I used to learn the language (well, mostly what my teachers taught me back in school)
"In what ways are your English lessons similar to and different from those mentioned by the interviewees?"
Well, first of all, when I started learning English, me and my classmates were taught to focus on our vocabulary. Knowing many words helps us to go one step further - learning grammar, conversation, pronunciation etc. However, unlike what the interviewees experienced, we did not have many chances to practise speaking with many foreign people. But practising with each other helped us shake off our nervousness and in time, it became fun.

That is because there are many trading companies and multinational companiese in Shanghai and in these companiese, people speak English at all time. So, Chinese people have to learn English. And English is common language! But rest of the world they don't have to learn Chinese because Chinese don't use in these companiese.

I think it is effectively when we practice pronunciation of English. Because when we practice pronunciation, listening fluent English is very good. I have never tried this but I want to try this to speak English fluently.

10:How helpful do you think Internet websites for learning English are? Which web site do you think are the most useful, and why?
I want to study abroad in 3 grades, so I study English with listening English radio. I use the web site "VOAnews.com". In this site, "Words and Their Stories" corner is most useful and interesting. Various expressions in English is used and introduced. I can't understand all, but the speed of speaker is limited, so I can follow some words.
If you want to improve your skills of English, use this site, by all means!
12:What other questions do you think the film should have asked?
They use English very fluently, but there must be people who speak in English less fluently. How should we improve our English skills?

Insights From China
Hello,
Well, the semester is nearly over. I haven't been able to cover as much of the E3 contents as I wanted to.
I would have liked to do some PowerPoint presentations, but have not had enough time.
Next semester we will do the newsgroups/blogging again, and some presentations.
I need to ask you to write some more blogs before the end of this semester. The first topic is Insights From China, the short film we watched last week. Actually, I found the topic very interesting. I teach here in Japan and I am often told that university students don't want to study English, but they have to.
Well, maybe this is the case for some students. I think that it can be a very useful skill to have. The example of China, last week, demonstrates this.
For your blog topic, I would like to choose 2 discussion questions from Activity 7 and write a post. Please remember that this is part of the assessment, so two short sentences, for example, is not enough!!
I will also ask you to answer some questions about the newsgroup/blogging activity. Please take some time to answer the questions properly, as I want to make this activity better, and value your opinions.
