As
mentioned in the first reflection, titled “My English Language Learning Journey
Reflection”, I have always been weak in English Language and I will continue to
seek for better improvements. And so, my learning journey continues when I took
up the ES1102 module. Before taking this module, I had wondered how would this
module be able to help me to improve my English Language since the topics
taught in ES1102 are different from what was taught back in secondary school. As
I was taking this module, I realized that it has helped me in many areas,
especially in the area of writing.
This module has
motivated and helped me to improve my English Language. I feel that this module is useful as it has equipped me with the skills
set needed to write better essays. Throughout this module, there is a
lot of reading involved as we have to find articles to support the contents in
our essays, and this process of bulk reading has actually encouraged me to read
more. Also, the class interactions and teacher’s consultations are really
useful and beneficial, as the class interactions allow peers to review each other's
work by identifying mistakes when the writer himself is unable to, while the
consultations allow the student to get one-to-one discussion with the teacher
to get constructive feedback.
Moreover, I will try to apply everything that I have learnt in ES1102
to prepare for the final exam. I think the most important step to take in
improving writing skills would be to practice more. It is also important to
review the writing repeatedly by myself to check language errors and the flow
of events as well, and it can also be reviewed by my peers for a second opinion.
For the language component, I have to take note of the tenses and verbs I used,
and use appropriate linking words to link my sentences. Furthermore, I feel
that planning the outline of the essay from the beginning is necessary so that
it will be much easier to write the whole essay later on.
In
conclusion, I had an enriching and memorable time in ES1102 class, as I have made
new improvements and met new friends as well. I am thankful to my teacher, Ms.
Toh, who is always willing to go an extra mile to help me to improve on my
writing skills. Also, I felt that I have gained much more confidence in writing
after this module. In addition, I will continue this learning journey and
constantly seeking for improvements in my English Language. From now onwards,
the next step to take would be to continue to improve the area that I am weak
in, which is the language component during writing.
