- Post (a) an evaluation of your First Artifact conversation, and (b) an assessment of how well you met your learning goals for weeks 4 and 5.
- Artifacts are evaluated for accent, cultural appropriateness, and linguistic accuracy.
(A) I thought my First Artifact conversation went well. Omer was nice enough to help me out, and in all it went smooth. I incorporated information that I have learned from my time spent on Goal 1, Task 1: directions / street awareness.
- My accent was good. If one were to listen to Omer's accent vis-a-vis my accent, there would only be a slight difference. My cultural appropriateness was also fine. I used many of my sentences on the streets of Tel Aviv, Ashkelon and Jerusalem. And my linguistic accuracy was appropriate as I used these lines with my learning language partner.

Goal: I will continue to work on subset 1 of my Task / Goal 1:T o understand how Israelis communicate on the street in everyday life.
