I believe that in general my artifacts have been helpful. They help me hear things like my thick accent as well as the lack of fluidity in my speaking skills-- things I still need to work on. For the most part I can improve on them by making them longer. However, I enjoy the fact that they are interactive and that I feature native speakers because it helps me distinguish between sounds and how words are said and phrases are delivered. My last artifact is where I spoke about myself for a while. Here, I was able to think about things that I wanted to say and execute it on my own. My artifact about food was also brief but I feel as though it captured the focus of the conversation. Some of my artifacts are actually pictures in which I went beyond my goal expectations and learned how to write a little. In the future I would like to create more animated artifacts.
