Week 1: In an Untrodden Path

Life is full of adventures and sometimes it gives you an opportunity for one when you least expect it. Here is mine – this blog.

Since Monday, October 7 I am officially a participant of a 10-week online training course for English Language Teachers offered through the American English Institute at the University of Oregon, Department of Linguistics.

The aim of this blog will be to reflect on the various readings, discussions and experience I’ll be sharing with my colleagues from all over the world, but also on my own effort to cope with using new teaching tools and methods.

Creating this blog is one of the first challenges I have taken up. I’ve never even thought about having a blog, let alone creating it for academic purposes. However, after reading more about using a blog in language teaching, I am quite curious about the whole concept of having mine. 

The only problem I’ve encountered so far is that I feel quite nervous about it. We’ll see what happens next week.
