1st Blogging Task: 0930-1006 Learning Strategies

Dear all,

Please make your posts and comments here for the week (09/30-10/06)!

Since we've done so much in class about learning strategies,
why not share with us your own thought or reflection on the issue?

Don't worry too much about your grammar and vocabulary.
What matters is the message in the post!
