Learning Journal 7: Reflect upon your progress to date, consider the effectiveness of your learning plan and activities, and discuss what changes--if any--you will make to finish the semester.
Since this is my participating in a self-directed language program at an institution, I believe it is going well, but not smooth. What I mean by this is that all my expectations I had set for myself in the beginning of the semester were just that: expectations. This may just be idiosyncratic, as I do not know if others are in sync with their expectations they had set earlier on. Nevertheless, my self-studying is going well in that I have been learning a great deal -- no matter if the material I am learning is out of sync with my expectations. I have learned / relearned a good deal of vocab, I have refreshed my mind about the customs and norms if Israeli society that are pertinent with my targeted areas, and I have been meeting with may language partner on a weekly basis to review and learn. However, with this procured experience, I would be lying to say that should I continue with my self-directed learning language studies in future semesters that I wouldn't go about it differently.
First, I would truncate my range of goals and expectations so that I could produce more coherent, narrowed narrative whereby I would value vision instead of multifaceted goals. Next, I would assign a video -- to grasp the context of the vocab I study every night. Moreover, I would like to match the aforementioned with a more assertive approach to speak and use the material in which I learned. These are the things I will implement from now until the end of the semester.
Therefore, I will truncate my vision with my current learning plan and its approach in order to narrow the superfluities in order to channel this energy into my plan mentioned above. My current learning plan and activities include vocab, speaking to myself and videos. Implementing this new method will allow me to better learn my material, and in turn, succeed in my objectives.
