Goal: In this week, I want to improve my English-speaking skill, English-listening. This time, I want to improve my English-listening skill more and more most importantly I want to be able to listen to the native speaker. Moreover, I also want to develop my vocabulary and word choice.
Completed (include brief description of what you did and the learning process):
Listening Activity: After finished my dinner, I have spend 30 minutes watching the Voice of America, Khmer Special English via Youtube, it is such a very useful program for us as media students and university student as a whole. It helped me updated about the information related to every global issue that the world are facing and updating now. Moverover, it is a very special program that can help me improve my English-listening skill because this program is in English. While watching this program, I noted every important key term and tried to get the main idea as well as the concept of the report. This way can help me caught the whole view easily.
Vocabulary and Word Choice: While watching the Voice of America, Khmer Special English via Youtube, I can pick up many important vocabularies in technical term. As it showed the subtitle and highlighted some important words along with definition. It is not difficult, all I need to do just bring my note and note all the word that I don’t know, some words were translated and some other words I can check by myself.
Self-Evaluation:
These are activities that I choosed in order to develop and improve my listening skill and vocabulary this week. I feel that I have learned and improved a lot in listening and understanding some new words. I have just found this way to improve my English skill in term of vocabulary and listening from my friend. I think this way can help me a lot though it’s just the first time for me to watch this program. The most beneficial thing that I could get from these activities were listening to native speaker with a clear and slow sound also understanding many technical words in term of economy, technology, etc. It was a bit challenge for me in practicing this activity, as it required me to have computer and internet access with a suitable speed everyday in order to get access to it. Also another challenge was, it’s hard to understand the context and concept of the report. For example, when they reported about Health issue, most of the key words were in technical health term. So it is hard for certain topic that related to technical fields. In order to overcome these challenges, I need to spend my time wisely on Internet not to waste in social working and other unimportant things. And need to keep noting each and every word that I don’t understand. If I understand those kinds of word, I believe I can understand the context easily. For the following weeks, I still continue working on this in order to get used to and master in it.
