ACTIVITY 2: CORRECTING SENTENCES AND PARAGRAPHS

1. Writing is an important skill when we learn a second language. This process requires
time, organization, clear ideas and a good investigation about the topic. All is important
to generate a clear message to the reader. To learn a second language requires being
predisposed. Another way to overcome my difficulties are improving my vocabulary
and grammar rules because they help me to improve my speaking and writing skills. In
addition, I have to follow the different instructions to learn more. I should follow this
program to be better as an English teacher and finish it with good grades.

Learning through writing is something unique. With writing, knowledge is transmitted,
information is summarized, learning is facilitated, and study is easier. Learning to write
correctly requires a lot of effort, time and dedication. The different disciplines of
linguistics are: Grammar, Semantics, Lexicology and Phonics. We have to have the

we can connect instantly with various parts of the world, creating support groups,

3. Hello tutor and classmates,

A portfolio is the collection of documents that show what teachers have accomplished
in terms of research, teaching and services. Also, it motivates students to keep working
and have everything organized to maintain a digital folder and the supporting
documentation or files. The documents which have the portfolio is the documents that
teachers develop everyday with their students, results, test and among others. According
to Border (2005-06), “participation in teaching preparation activities such as
workshops, seminars, courses, and videotaped consultations can add skills and
confidence, and thus pages, to the portfolio”

4. I can respond to the topic by saying Krashen´s hypotheses leave no doubt on why he
believed in them in the first place.I definitely think I followed a couple of his
hypotheses when I started learning English. I learned in a subconscious process. This
process was very similar to my L1 acquisition. I couldn't agree more with Krashen. I
think the acquired theory makes complete sense. I normally try to adjust my lesson
plans as much as possible to the acquired system. However, working in schools that
focus on conscious programs make the teaching process very difficult. In other words, if
the teacher had the faculty to use her own particular ways, the teaching process would
be much easier. Watching the video made me understand the importance of his theory.
I  understood his second lesson plan, and it certainly amazed me.
5. This video was interesting and useful for our career. First, I notice that I make some
grammatical mistakes. I do not use an appropriate structure in sentences, such as,
declarative and introductory sentences to create a good document. Then the uses of
declarative and introductory sentences make the document friendlier to the reader.
Second, I do not provide information about the author in a document. For example, I
write the quotation, but I do not give brief information about the author of the quote.
In sum, I make those mistakes because I don´t practice my writing skills in a correct
way and I don´t give a little time to learn new words or adjectives. Nevertheless, I learn
about certain details to write a correct term paper. Such as, the use of serial commas
after each element of the sentence is correct in a formal paper when it is published.
Besides, I learn that we should not use apostrophe in dates when we write a formal
document. Finally, when people wrote the bibliography, they wrote the date that they
got the information of the URL on the internet but this was not correct. People should
write the date that research was written.
