      My grammar and vocabulary score is higher, however my listening score is the same
      Questions:
      1. Did you advance in your level of English? yes, no why?
      I really feel that an important progress, at least in my speaking and my listening skills, because with help of teacher´s activities I got better my understanding about different songs, speechs, conversations an other thing like those, and I´ve been working strongly in some problems such as: grammar structures and vocabulary, nervousnees and to leave of thinking in Spanish for speaking in English; for improve my speaking skills.
      So I´ve noticed a good advance with the support of tools in this course.
      2.Do you deserve to pass this level? yes, no, why?
      Yes I think so, because I´ve been commited with the tasks and activities along the course, also I´ve solved some problems about my english and I´ve improved my english, which is the goal of this level; I could finally see my proggress in this language, like I´ve said it in the past paragraph.
      3.How could I improve my teaching practice?
      I consider that your metodology for teaching is very interesting, because I could see your motivation and effort for our learning with all tools that you showed us in the blog and activities in class such as: discussions, reading comprehension and teamworks.
      However I would like to suggest you, make more use of videos or speechs in class, for that the students can improve their listening with small tests for them about that , and if they can´t achieve it, then you can help them, at that time.

    1. Grammar and vocabulary: A2
      Listening: B2

      1. Did you advance in your level of English? yes, no why?
      In the grammar I did not advance much since I feel that I do not practice it so much during the semester in my personal study despite my personal work plan it was about grammar, it already came with shortcomings of previous levels, in terms of listening I feel that I improve a little since thanks to the fact that the classes were taught entirely in English and many activities that correspond to listening, this helped me to try harder and strengthen that aspect

      Do you deserve to pass this level? yes, no, why?
      I consider that yes, since at this level I learned a methodology that helped to understand the dimension and importance of these classes, since in the university this language is not generally taught adequately, students pass the levels with too many shortcomings but Despite this, I consider that I did my best to adapt despite not having the right level, worked at the pace of the class in what was possible and managed to effectively advance my learning.

      3. How could I improve my teaching practice?
      I consider that we can all improve a little more in all aspects, as a teacher I liked the accompaniment and dedication that she had with each of the students, however I consider that the classes throughout the semester can be more dynamic as were the Last classes, where we participated without much fear or pressure, since there were some classes that were too stressful and pressure was felt for the student

      Grammar and vocabulary B1
      Listening C1

      1. Did you advance in your English level? Yes, No, Why?

      Yes, I advanced in my level of English, since the different resources used in each class session helped to promote my learning, increase my vocabulary, now I understand the words better, what most improved my learning was the listening part.

      2. Do you deserve to pass this level? Yes, no, why?

      I think I deserve to pass the level since I tried hard during all the classes to understand the topics and work properly on the proposed projects, I can also notice that now I speak and listen better and that is a great achievement.

      3. How could I improve my teaching practice?

      I think that the teacher should improve the dynamics of the classes a little, make them more recursive and creative, like putting more songs in classes or more educational games (like the last betting game) are ways for students to learn English more easily.

    1. Grammar and vocabulary: B1
      Listening: B2
      1. Did you advance in your level of English? yes, no why?
      Yes, I did advance since I feel that I have learned a lot about new vocabulary and I have been able to resolve doubts I had about how to use certain words, not perfectly but better than before. In addition, I feel that I have advanced a lot in my listening since last year I have been working harder to learn it for different reasons.

      2. Do you deserve to pass this level? yes, no, why?
      Yes, because I really tried to advance and improve, I learned a lot. Also I committed myself efforts to do individual and group work.

      3. How could I improve my teaching practice? your comments are very important to me!
      I consider that your methodology is very good. Because you explain in different ways and you use different materials such as the blog, class activities, etc. What I would like for the classes is that they are more didactic, I think that most of us learn like children(it is easier), so I would like games to be implemented.

      grammar B2
      1. Did you advance in your level of English? yes, no why?
      Yes, since during this level I improve my vocabulary and grammar. vocabulary is something that I always have shortcomings since I forget words very easily, but this level I could use more frequently in activities and that helped me a lot to remember them

      2. Do you deserve to pass this level? yes, no, why?

      Yes, because despite all the setbacks I always tried to do everything I felt could improve my English and my performance as a student.
      3. How could I improve my teaching practice? your comments are very important ...
      What I liked the most about the course is the enthusiasm with which the classes were given, I can see that you really like what you do. One aspect that would be improved would be the platform, which would be a little more educational and more entertaining, not just a method for delivering work.
      Thanks a lot.

      2. Do you deserve to pass this level? yes, no, why?
      Yes, because I learned most of the topics, developed the activities proposed for each class and tackled the topic that I found most difficult, which is listening
      3. How could I improve my teaching practice? your comments are very important to me! I had a lot of fun in this course, you offered all the necessary resources both in the blog and in the class. The best of all is the way you offer class, that is, you are not an intimidating teacher and that facilitated my learning in this course.
      Unfortunately, we didn't have a normal semester and that made it difficult to achieve certain goals in some activities.
      Thank you very much.🌻🌼

      Grammar B1

      1. Did you advance in your level of English? yes, no why?
      Yes.
      I really understand better about english structure, I have taken a lot of vocabulary and now I can have a simple conversation with my friends.

      2. Do you deserve to pass this level? yes, no, why?
      Yes.
      I think that my progress is good according to my level and and I carried out the main activities of the course. I am highly motivated to continue studying in my home, thinking about the benefits it gives me. Also, I have managed to communicate on simple way with some foreign visitors at my job.

      3. How could I improve my teaching practice? your comments are very important to me!
      I think you are an excellent teacher, also, it seems that you have a lot of experience.
      The course has a lot of extra activity (which is essential for learning English), and this is not a problem, when you understand that the availability of all your students is not the same.
