First University memories


Do you remember the first English Class at the university ?

It is an unforgettable experience to face the first day in class.What about the first day at the University? It is a remarkable experience being in an english class for the first time. For some students it will be the time to discover if their choice was the appropiate or if they will need more time to make their final desition. Some others will probably think about the great differences between being a highschool student rather than being a university student.If the students are acostumed to the language or if they are not familiar with English it there might be different reactions.
I consider important to propiciate a good environment in the first year of the English mayor, so that students will learn not only about the methodology, evaluation, assesment ,but the competences they need to achieve. I remember one of my classmates´experiences in Basic English. She was one of the best students at highschool ,but one of the worst at the University.At the beginning she felt qvery dissapointed about her development in class when she saw her grades because she wasn´t acustomed to fail. After the first semester, she realized that Learning English wasn´t her goal and she decided to changed her mayor. Why did she decide to change her opinion? Can you share some of your expectations during the first year
of the mayor?
