Final report

Now it's the time to sum up the whole CAL activities. It has been a bit difficult course for some external reasons as well as some problems related to the process of autolearning. I have been working regularly during the course and, in general, I would say that I have taken profit of the CAL. I am aware that in total I haven't completed the hours scheduled in the course, but it has been a very complicated semester, with a lot of different adversities which have culminated in the tonsilitis that affected me the week that I had to finish the CAL blog.

Leaving the problems apart I think that I have taken much more profit from the CAL that in the year before, even though I have done less hours of work than last year. The conversation classes have been very useful to my English, especially to get the confidence I lacked and to try and say what I am thinking. Normally, when I think in English I don't have problems with language, but when the time to speak comes I get a bit blocked. Going to the conversation classes has been a way to train speaking as well as a good entertainment. This CAL course hasn't been some boring series of exercises or a big amount of work. It has been a funny way to learn English.

Obviously, if it had been funny but completely unuseful it hadn't been positive. I have improved a lot during the course and now I can maintain a conversation with confidence and with plenty of different vocabulary resources. I am better in the vocabulary that have centred the news because of the way I've worked in my vocabulary (using the news online). But in general I believe that the learning has been correct and very interesting.

I have been regular with my work except for some different moments during the semester when I have had lots of things in my mind and I couldn't work in the CAL. The course has passed through the winter break and the exam period so I find reasonable that I have missed some hours in the end. Apart from that, we have had the occupation problem that has moved all the work that should have been done during the whole course in my degree to the end of semester.

Anyway, I have found the CAL course useful and very interesting in order to improve some specific vocabulary and skills, in my case speaking and some specific vocabulary in a very personal way. It's a bit hard to follow the discipline but it gives you a sometimes needed freedom to finish the work in flexible timetables. As I said before, I think that I have taken much more profit than last year even though I've worked less hours. And that's it.
