Situated Learning

Situated learning was first proposed by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger as a model of learning in a Community of practice. At its simplest, Situated Learning is learning that takes place in the same context in which it is applied. Lave and Wenger (1991) argue that learning should not be viewed as simply the transmission of abstract and decontextualised knowledge from one individual to another, but a social process whereby knowledge is co-constructed; they suggest that such learning is situated in a specific context and embedded within a particular social and physical environment.

1. Look for relationships


2. Draw quickly on unlined paper without pausing, judging or editing


3. Write down key ideas


4. Put main idea in the centre


5. Leave lots of space

Issues with Technology in the Classroom

Technology in language teaching is not new. Indeed, technology has been around in language teaching for decades. In my opinion, I agree with using technology in classroom. The reasons are that younger learners are growing up with technology, and it is a natural and integrated part of their lives. Besides, technology, especially the Internet, presents us with new opportunities for authentic tasks and materials. Therefore, the use of technology in the classroom is becoming increasingly important.Some advantages of technology in language teaching are also presented.
Technology offers new ways for practicing language and assessing performance, for example,Online Assessment,teachers can create their own tests online through their own website. Besides, using a range of ICT tools can give learners exposure to and practice in all of the four main language skills. Although, technology provide many resources, it all ties down to the teacher's ability to create interesting and motivating activities not only for those working at the computeres but also for those working at their desks.

Celtic Woman - Someday

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNWgTmkbgtw

Someday, when we are wiser

When the world's older

When we have learned

I pray someday we may yet

Live to live and let live

Someday, life will be fairer

Need will be rarer

And greed will not pay

Godspeed, this bright millenia

On it's way, let it come someday

Someday our fight will be won, and

We'll stand in the sun, in

That bright afternoon

'Til then, on days when the sun

Is gone, we'll hang on

If we wish upon the moon

There are some days, dark and bitter

Seems we haven't got a prayer

But a prayer for something better

Is the one thing we all share

Someday, when we are wiser

When the whole world is older

When we have love

And I pray someday we may yet

Live to live and one day, someday

Someday life will be faire

Need will be rarer

And greed will not pay

Godspeed this bright millenia

Let it come

If we wish upon the moon

One day, someday....soon

Way Back into Love(Hugh Grant & Drew Barrymore)

http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce_DxJFdgM4

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
oh, oh, oh

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
oh, oh, oh

So Close(Jon McLaughlin)

http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=tRae021Si5Y&feature=related

You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

As life goes by
Romantic dreams will start
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you're beside me and look how far we've come
So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We're so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let's go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

Moving so fast, I'm forgetting my purpose
Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
Getting nowhere

My head and my heart are colliding, chaotic
Pace of the world
I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I've got it together
falling apart

Save me
Somebody take my hand, and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
'Cause I'm ready to fall
Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flys by
I need you to slow me down

Sometimes I fear that I might dissapear
In the blur of fast forward I faulter again
Forgetting to breathe, I need to sleep
getting nowhere

All that I've missed I see in the reflection
Passed me while I wasn't paying attention
Tired of rushing, racing and running
falling apart

Tell me
Oh won't you take my hand and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
'Cause I'm ready to fall
Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flys by
I need you to slow me down

Just show me
slow me down,slow me down

The noise of the world is getting me caught up
Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it
Just need to breathe, somebody please
Slow me down

oh oh oh

No matter what you say about love
I keep coming back for more
Keep my hand in the fire
Sooner or later I get what I’m asking for

No matter what you say about life
I learn every time I bleed
The truth is a stranger
Soul is in danger I gotta let my spirit be free
To admit that I’m wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind

I can’t waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothings broken
No need to worry about everything I’ve done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don’t look back got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You’re still a part of everything I do
You’re on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I’ll always have you (I'll always have you)

Sick of playing all of these games
It’s not about taking sides
When I looked in the mirror didn’t deliver
It hurt enough to think that I could stop
Admit that I’m wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I’ve gotta be strong and leave you behind

I can’t waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothings broken
No need to worry about everything I’ve done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don’t look back got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You’re still a part of everything I do
You’re on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I’ll always have you (I'll always have you)

If I live every moment
Won’t change any moment
There's still a part of me in you
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do, oh

I can’t waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothings broken (yeah)
No need to worry about everything I’ve done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don’t look back got a new direction (don't look back)
I loved you once, needed protection (no, no)
You’re still a part of everything I do
You’re on my heart just like a tattoo

I can’t waste time so give it a moment (i can't waste time)
I realized nothings broken
No need to worry about everything I’ve done (no need to worry)
Live every second like it was my last one
Don’t look back at got a new direction (don't you ever look back)
I loved you once and I needed protection
You’re still a part of everything I do
You’re on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I’ll always have you

My Goal

This is I first writ the blog in English, I hope I have a determination to write it.

Through this blog, I wish I could take down my mood. On the other hand, I also want to achieve my goal this semester by this blog to keep a record. First, I want to improve my speaking and writing. Therefore, I will extensively read, see movies or episode and listen to music. Second, I hope I can acquire the certificate of TOEIC and TKT. For this reason, I will be hard-working to prepare. Third, I will go to the cram school to enter a better research institute. Consequently, I can not just like before, I have to study hard to get into my ideal school. These are my goal this semester. It's time for me and teddy to go to sleep. I believe tomorrow will be better.
