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.
I believe that I am doing great to date. So far, I have completed Task 1 (Greetings) which includes: “Greeting expressions: “asking” expressions, “thank you” expressions, “sorry” expressions, “leaving” expressions.
I will also focus on introducing myself — name, age, where I am from, etc. — and introducing others (who are they, their age, where they are from, etc.)
Personal identification: I am a student, what I study, basic hobbies, etc.”
Moreover, I have completed Task 2 (Family Tree) which includes: “Family tree, the meaning of family in Indonesia’s culture — especially in Bali. The hierarchy and social structure that tags along with the family. How to introduce them to others, how to introduce myself to them.”
Lastly, I have completed Task 4 (Survival Language) which includes: “When your language breaks down: functional language. What kids of things do you need to learn when your language breaks down. Speak more slowly, I don’t understand you. Negotiation Language. How do you say this. Do you speak English, etc.”
With that said, I only have one more Task to complete: Telling Time, Date, and Counting.
Therefore, I do not plan to alter my learning plan and the activities that I have been doing. My learning plan is effective because the sources that I have been working with are organized and comprehensive. Moreover, to supplement my conventional sources, I am watching a good deal of videos so as to obtain an understanding of the day-to-day life/customs and history of my targeted language’s country.
