Reflect on your experiences as a language learner. What did you enjoy? What did you dislike? Think about the FIRE model and the surveys you have just completed. What kind of learner are you? What kinds of language learning activities suit your learning style? How do you think you should expand your learning activities?
My language learner experience started from my elementary school. At the beginning, I learned English mostly by the lecture. I did not have enough chances to practice with English-speakers since I did not have any English-speaker friends. Hence, I could handle grammars and writing. However, I did not do well in my speaking and listening part. And now, I enjoyed applying languages such as speaking with locals in University and writing paper as a language learner. As a result, my English is getting better and better.
From the survey, I am a Kinesthetic learner. I should use all of my senses when learning a new language. Spending time watching Korean video and listening to Korean songs will improve my languages skills.
During this semester, I will create my own study plan and specific weekly goals to improve my language skills. I plan to watch Korean Drama twice a week and take advantage of applications(mango language, Diigo ) to continuously promote my language learning.
In the future, I plan to visit Korea or attend a program in Korea in one summer. When I immerse into a Korean-speaking environment, I will be fully exposed to Korean. It will be efficient for me, a Kinesthetic learner according to the survey results.
