SWOT OF TASK 3

Weaknesses:

– The extension of the audios.

-Pronunciation.

THREATS

– The short extension of the audios can make me lower my grade.

– Because of my pronunciation mistakes, I may not be understood at times.

STRENGTHS

– Natural and calm voice

– Ability was to explain myself in a clear way.

– Great empathy with all kinds of people.

OPPORTUNITIES

– My natural, calm English voice can help me communicate with people of another language.

– As much as my vocabulary is not correct, I can make myself understood.

– Empathy will help me get a job, because I care about everyone. 

Why did you choose this task to put in your e-portfolio?

Because it is one of the tasks where I had an intermediate grade and where I could really analyze my weaknesses and strengths.

What does it show about your learning?

By doing the analysis, it shows that I have communicative abilities in English, due to my natural and calm voice, but that I synthesize too much information.

If you got feedback on this task, what did you do with it?

With the feedback I received, I wrote down things to improve in order to analyze it and make it better next time. Review the audios thoroughly to see exactly where you could make an impact. 

What’s so good about your work?

My work is good because my voice is calm and natural, I have the ability to communicate and I make good explanations. It is also good that I demonstrate the empathy that characterizes me as a person.

What could be improved?

The ability to extend the audios and my explanations as I synthesize them. I should also improve pronunciation in some of the words that may sometimes make me misunderstood.

What opportunities did the task give her to teach/use different language skills? What was difficult or challenging about the task?

This activity allowed me to make my pronunciation known and to express myself orally. The difficult part of this activity was having to record it with audacity and send it. I still have a hard time working with new technologies.

In conclusion I think I could have done a better job and given him more time to do the activity. On the other hand I think that I at least needed an explanation of the use of Audacity, because although I had already worked with this program in school, it cost me a lot to remember how it was used.
