Afeefa's+Reflections



Looking back on my journey of learning Spanish this semister. I have found out that Spanish is a beautiful,important and useful language in our society today. I have never done Spanish in any of the previous schools that I had attended. Having been given this opportunity to learn Spanish in college is quite rewarding for me. I have learnt how to introduce myself,count,say days of the week,months of the year,identify the time and even to sing, all using the Spanish language. All of these newly learnt knowledge would not have been possible if it was not for my open minded,fresh.intelligent and enthusiastic teacher miss Verbina Wilberg.

Miss Verbina has really brought a breath of fresh air to teaching the language of Spanish. Her methods of teaching involves the use of computers for all assignments, tasks and lesson information. This method of teaching is insync with the technologically advanced changing times.The use of conputers as a teaching aide for the Subject of Methodology in classrooms is far more exciting,less time consuming and productive in the learning process. Using a computer to do tasks and assignments enables me to concentrate and complete work more efficiently and in my own time.

At first when I started to learn Spanish, I thought I would not make it since there was no chalk and talk method of teaching used by the teacher.I also thought it would be very difficult for me to understand and make notes of my Spanish lessons,since my way of learning is to listen make notes in my own words and study them.Later as I went on to the websites that my lecturer directed my class to go,I discovered that all the lesson notes,assignments and research information for Spanish and Methodology was so conveniently accessible.As a result of that studying, doing tests ,quizes, research and downloading information was made very easy.

My thoughts about learning Spanish and Methodology now is far less scary than what I had thought about it when it was first introduced to me. To be honest I have have gotton to actually like and enjoy learning Spanish with miss Verbina.I think my change of thought might be due to gaing new knowledge experiences,meeting new challenges and accomplishing them and also my adoptation and exposure to using the computer and internet to get work done.The best part about doing Methodology and Spanish this semister is, I have definately learnt new words to practice on my friends,I really enjoyed doing and learning new functions of the intenet like voice recording and last but not least my classes with my teacher miss Verbina was really fun, interactive and educational.

I have no dislikes or regrets of doing Spanish or Methodology this semister.It was all worthwhile. Thank you so much miss Verbina for taking learning at new levels and making it so much fun.
