Day 2: lexis, functions, writing and reading.



The finger crossing seems to have worked because, this class improved my confidence greatly, most likely because the theme was "more me", which led to being secure about my interventions.

Security in oneself can be very important in the learning process, it helps with the interest in what is being learned, how much attention is being paid during class and how willing or inclined we will be to keep researching the subject even after the class is over.

As the title states, we discussed lexis, functions and two of the learning skills, reading and writing, these topics are ones that I feel comfortable with, reading is a big part of my life, I believe reading is an integral part of learning, the proper book at the proper time can awake a necessity to investigate and learn a little bit more about the subject being dealt with, it is also, quite helpful to learn new words and enlarge vocabulary.

This is becoming a fun journey, that will most certainly bring its ups and downs.
