week 12

We went wider in analyzing texts, we added elements of analysis like, register, tone, target audience, source, author`s purpose and genre.
With all these elements we analyzed some texts and the hardest thing for me was backing up your choices with extracts from the text.

week 11

We studied some ways that help us analyzing texts. We studied the theme, topic, genre, authors purpose, etc, and these helps us to understand more the text.
We did some exercises to get to understand how to analyze texts. The hardest part for me was having always an extract from the text to back up what you think.

week 10

We learned that we can classify language, we saw three types of it: Legal language, scientific language, language in sports.Scientific language is used by poeple close to the sciences, legal language is used by people close to the law system, like judges and sports language is used by people close to sports, football players, basketball players, etc.

week 9

This week we studied language amd culture. We learned that these two things are connected. Different cultures use different languages and develope it in their own ways and that`s why if you go to another coubtry  in south america you may not understand everything they refer too.

week 8

This week we saw jargon, argot and slang, these languages are used by certain groups of people and it`s easier for them to understand it.

Jorgon is a type of ñanguage that people use in their jobs and it makes the communication faster and easier for them.

Slang is a language that it`s very informal, it`s used by for example, friends talking as they use different words to refer to something.

Argot is used by a group of people and it evolves during time.

Experience so far

The experience has been quite different than normal classes, as it´s been regular past few years with the english department. It´s quite interesting to do a blog, and it´s simply funnier than studing or doing tests. This weekend I had to work very hard, and that has teach me that I have to organise myself better and don´t leave everything for the las minute.

eventh week

We finished literature, although I still have some doubts about it, and started with crtical reading and thinking, that is the ways to encounter a text and analyze it.

We analyzed some images with critical reading.

We went to an interesting topic, a book that I liked very much when we red it last year, The catcher in the Rye by J.D Sllinger.

We were adviced that we had to have our blogs completed for monday, and they will be graded.
