My progress to date has been smooth and steady. In the main, I have been on schedule. My learning plan has been effective. (In the past, my learning plans have been too ambitious. I think that I do this intentionally at the beginning of the semester so as to push me throughout the semester.) For each chapter, I have completed activities that are tantamount to language artifacts. It is an excellent source for activities -- be they written, oral, and listening. For this reason, I chose to stick closely with the books I have selected and not be adventurous with other sources. However, the volume of the material could be deceiving for someone who is learning independent of a classroom environment.
I have met with my language learning partners consistently every week. In our meetings, we cover reading, speaking, and writing activities. Meeting with both Ibu Juli and Thalia is definitely effective. First, it gives us students more speaking practice, which I think is my weakest aspect. Second, Ibu Juli mainly covers the formal language and Thalia covers both the formal and informal language registers. So, I think they complement each other nicely. A
I will stay the course for now. I do not anticipate any changes I will make to finish the semester.
