Critical Reflection: The next stage of my learning

Through this course, I have generally gain more confidence in writing essays as I feel that I am more capable in producing a better quality work now. In addition, I have gained more knowledge, particularly in Grammar which allow my writings to show improvement.

At the start, I was confused with the different types of grammar such as noun and pronoun thus, when I received my marked Reflective Writing, I did not understand what my errors were and had to seek help from my classmates. Fortunately, with in-text editing, I can understand the use of grammar more clearly, therefore enhancing my overall writing. However, there are still occasional mistakes made so I have to be more attentive in finding the errors. In addition, through learning the application of connectors, I am able to construct longer sentences hence, my essays are more coherent and vibrant now. Furthermore, I appreciate the resource lists that are provided every week because I have gained information out from them which I have never know initially. For instance, the 4QSR method has provided me with an easier way to do my readings as well as allowed me to better retain the information in the readings.

In conclusion, the learning in ES1102 have benefited me to a high degree since it has built my English foundation thus, prepare me to take a step into enhancing other English components such as vocabulary which I am also weak in. For the next stage of my learning, I will be focusing on expanding my vocabulary list by checking the meanings of words that I do not understand in the dictionary more frequently. In this manner, I hope that more time could be spent on writing the essay instead of finding synonyms.
