CANG9235 : B2/B2+ _ Blogging your Internship or Semester Abroad

Teaching method

This course is entirely online, and has no video-conferencing component. Instead, you'll watch videos and read texts that help you produce blog posts and/or learn grammar and vocabulary, and receive detailed recorded feedback from your teacher about your work, which you should listen to and make notes about. Both the original and edited blog posts count towards your final grade. Finally, there'll be automatically-marked grammar and vocabulary exercises for you to work on independently, though these exercises won't count towards your final grade.

There are three 'cycles' of three weeks, and each cycle follows this pattern: 

1. Write and submit a blog post on a general topic (e.g. 'planning my semester abroad', 'finding an internship', 'making friends in new places', 'struggles with bureaucracy', etc.).
2. Listen to your teacher's feedback about your blog post, then edit and resubmit the blog post.
3. Listen to your teacher's feedback about your edited blog post and comment on your classmate's blog posts, then complete the grammar and vocabulary exercises that correspond to the main mistakes that you made.
