2	Nov 22, 2012 6:28 PM	I think the aims and outcomes have met. It has been a good mix of reading textbooks and the practical exercises. I liked the Vocabulary Revision it was fun! I have received many tips, confirmed some things I've done before and got new things to think about. I missed grammar lessons because I have to be better at that. Above all, how to teach grammar in a good way. It was useful to give feedback, but it would have been nice to get it from you too!
3	Nov 22, 2012 4:57 PM	I have learnt a lot during this course! But it has been far too much. I have for some weeks been working 20 hours instead of 10! And I have a work too! I am not sure this is fair for my pupils or my family!
4	Nov 22, 2012 3:11 PM	I think the aims and outcomes have beeb met. The books and other things I´ve read and what I have been listening to has bee adequate. I think the studyquestions was good.
5	Nov 22, 2012 9:03 AM	I think that the course has been very good eventhough it was hard to read everything in English in the beginning.. I have learn a lot about how a child learn language from the very beginning and that was something new for me eventhough I have two children of my own. It was interesting to read about the resurce. It was also new for me that language can be so different but also so much the same. The course has also been a "wake up call" for my grammar teaching. I know see that it must be more specific and I have to make the goals for the lessons more clear for the pupils. I am now speaking much more English with my pupils than I did before. It was interesting that dicipilning should be in L1. That was also new information for me.
6	Nov 21, 2012 8:39 PM	Ok
7	Nov 21, 2012 3:47 PM	I think we have been working with all of the aims of the course and it have been a good way with questions and send in tasks.
8	Nov 21, 2012 10:50 AM	I think all aims has been met. It has been very educational for me and I´m satisfied with the modul.
9	Nov 20, 2012 9:20 PM	Yes
10	Nov 20, 2012 9:13 PM	I think these aims and outcomes have been met!
11	Nov 20, 2012 9:06 PM	I think these aims and outcomes have been met i this module! Ex. effective classroom methodologies for beginners and youngsters: analyse, prepare and authentically tell (not read) stories appropriate for their age group.
12	Nov 20, 2012 6:00 PM	Yes I think they have, both theoretical and practical..
13	Nov 20, 2012 10:28 AM	Jag tycker att alla de syften som nämns ovan har behandlats och fått sina svar i arbetet med den här modulen. Boken TLYL beskriver och förklarar på ett mycket bra sätt vad som händer i ett klassrum med hänvisning till de mål som ges för den här delkursen. Att få arbeta både teoretiskt och praktiskt med olika uppgifter tycker jag har varit en stor fördel. Jag började den här kursen med ganska vaga föreställningar om vad den skulle behandla och vad som var syftet men tycker att det är klart och tydligt att mål och innehåll överensstämmer med varandra.
14	Nov 20, 2012 9:59 AM	I think the litterature has been relevant and interesting and I think I have learnt what it says above.
15	Nov 20, 2012 9:24 AM	I think that we have been working whit all the aims whitin the course. The practicall tasks that we have shared whit all of the other classmates was very scary in the begining but it have been fun listening to other students thoughts in different questions.
16	Nov 20, 2012 9:17 AM	Jag tycker målen och resultaten faller väl samman.
17	Nov 20, 2012 7:19 AM	I think that these aims and outcomes has been met. I now know more about how to prepare and execute the lessons and how to assess and meet the pupils different needs.
18	Nov 20, 2012 12:34 AM	I think that the books we have used, is very good and instructive. The format of the course was also good with mixed tasks. Together they have achieved the objectives of the course. But I hope that the technical work, not affect the validity of the knowledge in english..
19	Nov 20, 2012 12:01 AM	I think that the aims has been met. I have learned a lot about all these things.
20	Nov 19, 2012 11:03 PM	I have learned a great deal and I think the aims and outcomes meet!
21	Nov 19, 2012 10:41 PM	I think the outcomes have been met.
22	Nov 19, 2012 10:11 PM	Jag kan jämföra denna kurs med mina kollegors som går på ett annat universitet och jag kan säga att jag är mycket nöjd i jämförelse med dem. De känner inte att de har fått verktyg att använda under lektionerna, vilket jag har. Jag känner också att denna del har stärkt mig som lärare i min kunskap om hur man lär och hur jag kan använda min kunskap för att tyda vår läroplan. Mycket nöjd!
23	Nov 19, 2012 8:38 PM	I think both aims and outcomes have been succesful. Perhaps (and thats difficult, I know) I would have liked some newer research and more swedish research.. in utopia! :)
24	Nov 19, 2012 7:56 PM	I think so.
