happy blogger

another of my students has posted a comment on my blog. hurrah!! :-) we had our end of year party this morning and the class had got cards and flowers for all thier tutors and stood in front of all the ESOL students to present them. Many of them won;t return as they have taken their L2 exams and it's time to move on. it was a little tearful. I will realy miss them. i've had a really good year this year doing the CALL class, they ahve been really open and receptive to most things that i ahve tried with them. (everything except the writing of student life on the bbc i think!)
i almost can't believe how the blogs have worked out. it was on;y 2 weeks ago on my live chat that i happened to mention the blogs, then the tutor suggested that i could do my assignment around them. the next day was my final class with the group so i prepared the evaluation lesson. i think there really is quite a lot to be said about them.
one thing i have noticed at first glance at sabir's comment is the informality of his text. he has minimal use of capitals (i i ahve in my posts) he has used slang (rite, coz). i will look more closely but i didn;t notice this at all in his (or the others) postings.
i really hope they do continue to use the blogs and to enjoy them. they really a great medium.
