Project - Do A Learning Reflection

Reflect (“反映する”) on your learning, and try to improve it!

A) Think about your learning

What issues are you having? In class or outside. For example:

• “I keep submitting homework late”
• “My TOEIC listening is weak”
• “I got a bad score and I don’t know why”
• “My TOEFL writing level is much lower than my speaking”
• “I can’t wake up in the morning and I always feel tired”
• “I don’t know what my plan is for the future or why I’m doing this”

B) Make a plan to fix the problem.

You might need help with this. You could try:

• Your own ideas
• Talk to an older student you know
• Talk to a classmate who is good at the thing you think is hard
• Ask Malc
• Think about using one of the university’s other support centres
• Try the Study Skills Review

C) Try your idea! Reflect again

• Did it work or not?
• What happened?

D) Are you finished working on this issue?

• Yes? What will you work on next?
• No? OK, what’s your next idea for solving the issue?

E) Report:

In complete detailed sentences in past tense, tell me:

• A - What was the problem
• BC - What did you do to fix the problem?
• D - Did it work? Why/Why not?
• E - What will you do next?

Use these sentences (4 sentences minimum)

• BC - I made a plan to fix it: I planned to …
• D - Either
