  • post an evaluation of your First Artifact conversation.  Evaluate your artifact for accent, cultural appropriateness, and linguistic accuracy.
    • What did you do well?
    • What do you need to improve?
    • How do you plan to make the necessary improvements?

This is a conversation between my mom and I talking about what we usually do over the weekend. My mom shares that she enjoys hiking, while I share that I am usually at the library. I also told her my order when we go to a coffee shop. While I study, I like to have drinks with some caffeine- therefore, I tell my mom that I like to drink iced green teas.

I think that I did well overall explaining what I do on the weekends. I thought my pronunciation improved as I practiced saying the words over the past few weeks. I think that I also have a lot more vocabulary knowledge, such as when I explain I like to drink iced green teas. My mom corrected me, so I tried to repeat after her. I also need to improve my cultural appropriateness. In a setting such as this, it would be more polite to speak to my mom with a formal tone when I am in public.

I plan to make these changes by remembering what the word for iced green tea                                                                                                                                                                               is in the future and further practicing what else I can say when asked what I like to do. I also plan to practice using more formal terms as that is an area that I still struggle to remember to do.
