On Week 1 (12 August-18 August) the topic was Personal Introductions, the teacher made the newer classmates (me)  talk with the ones that were already on the group and made a little introduction of ourselves in Word.

My reflection is that as a new student in this university is important for me to socialize and to get to know my classmates, and also of how the teacher works.

Here is the Week 1 Mini Task:

Autobiography 

My name is Loreley and I'm 17 years old. I was born in Aguascalientes, Ags. My birthday is on August 26th, I go by she/her. One of my favorite things are playing the guitar, texting my girlfriend, coming to school, this last thing is because this is the career that I wanted since middle school. Also, I like to listen to music or listen to podcasts on Spotify. My family consists of my two parents and my sister and brother. I'm the oldest of them, then my brother (15 yo) and last my sister (14 yo). Being the eldest is an impossible mission and a blessing at the same time, but I love my family. Well, now I'm gonna tell you about things that I'm afraid of, like the rain, like a storm, spiders, snakes, cockroaches, high places and generally natural disasters. One of my favorite music artists is The Weeknd and my favorite song by him is Out of Time of the album Dawn FM. I also like Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Depeche Mode, Evanescence, Guns & Roses, Måneskin among others.

On Week 2 the topic was Hobbies & Interests we did a long talk about our hobbies while we play a card game, to be more specific the game was "Conquian" , the things that i learned was that some of my classmates have the same hobbies as me, and that we can talk about hobbies without saying the word hobbies.

My reflection is that I learned of how  some of my classmates feel about their special hobbies, also a little bit of their personal life and the get to know me better, and I really apreciate that.

Onb this Week 3 the topic was Daily Routines we got on teams and talked about creating a story and making a fictional character and us as a team we needed to gave some advice to help improve that person's life, what I learned was that us as future teachers can make histories and by telling them we can teach good things, in this case is good life, healthy lifestyles and improvement of our personal life.

My reflection is that I really learned that we as teachers need to know this type of information and of how to stay healthy, also I learned how to write a story (grammar).

Here is the Week 3 Mini Task:

@BENJAMIN LEE STEWART Hello teacher, could you tell me if my paragraph is correct? [DE1]

Originality score: https://app.originality.ai/share/06qysi2n5vdruegt [BS2]

You can avoid the ordinal numbers and say, "January 8 to 18..." With dates, you may use numbers only (including numbers zero through nine). :) [BS3]

On this Week 5 the topic was Technology and we talked about food and recipes, we formed groups of four people and talked about a dish and the recipe then answer some questions. The next day we talked about our favorite dishes on a 50 minute long video and made a transcription of it.

My reflection is that I also get to know my classmates likes and dislikes on food, also that is really important for us that we need to know how to express ourselves and talk about our likes.

Here is the Week 5 Reading Assignment and Week 5 Mini Task:

Question 2.- How do the ingredients used in the recipe reflect the local geography and climate?

Based on the information, The Italian people aren’t the ones who made this recipe

entirely, the ingredients were powdered egg, bacon and cream, those were things

that soldiers had in their Ration K (Special food for soldiers, that were small and

light) then the news about the new dish spread and the people in Rome begin to do

the dish, after some time , the Italians made a version of the Carbonara using the

same ingredients but using pasta made there, and instead of bacon they use

guanciale (pork cheek) and parmesian cheese, Italy is one of the biggest producers

of cheese, and they use cows and goats to make the cheese, and this cheese is

made from farms or fabrics, but those animals are placed on rural spaces and also

the porks, and i say that the climate does not affect the recipe or the creation of the

ingredients.

Orador 1 That's right. Orador 2 It's to eat pizza and you know it's not the best place, but I really, if I had the the option to go there or not to a first date, I would definitely not choose it. I'm not the type of guy who knows what to say in front of the other people. It's. It makes me nervous, you know. No. I feel like, oh, what are we talking? What? What? I'm what I'm about to talk now. And you know or feel the insecurity less about the other people, you know. Orador 3 What about you, do you think? Where do you think is the best place for a first date? I mean particular restaurant? Or a coffee shop. Orador 1 What do you think? Orador 4 Well. And I actually never had a date. No, no. Well, maybe the closest thing that we hang out and maybe get some ice cream or something like that, but never went to, for example, like a peteria. Or a restaurant. I never had. A date of the kind of that type. Orador 1 We're going for a spring, is. A really good day. Orador Yeah. Orador 1 You can judge the person said. Ohh you choose this touch you. I don't like. That's one signal. Rejected ex. No. A red flag? Yes, that's that's the thing. Everyone has like, a favorite restaurant based on the interest. But one thing that we can talk about is maybe share some places that you know that the other person. We. Orador Like. Orador 1 For example, I can say that he likes meat or something like that. I recommend some meat, some for example. Or maybe a closer he close to here is another term that is the handle Texas mid and is. Like. Behind the for my. It's all good I went there. Orador 2 Country break. Orador 1 100%. Orador 3 Close to university. Orador 1 Yes.

The main is. Orador 2 Perfect. And what's the reason you don't like it? Orador 1 Good. Yes, I want to. Hear about it. I. Maybe it doesn't, they? Orador 3 Just it tastes and also the place I do. Like to be honest. No, I I do not recommend anybody to go to lesson just. Orador 1 Punch. Orador Yeah. Orador 3 Do you already think about something? Orador 2 Just maybe. There's a place that it's called a Palapa de Charlie or something like that. It's like. Orador 1 Leave the long seafood. Orador 3 Yeah. In front of El Pollo Feliz. Orador 2 Yeah. Uh, well, it is like, I don't know. It's like low quality food. Orador 1 How many chicken? Oh yes. Orador 3 What kind of food they? Orador 1 Deserve. Orador 2 I would like. The traditional of every single place. Orador 3 It's like from meniscus. Orador 2 And meat if you want meat.

They were. We're cool. Orador 2 Hmm. Orador 1 Like, Oh my God. Yes, because. To cook the ribs, the special treatment. Because if not, they're going to be hard or they're going to be like chewing, you know, that's not like. The one the things that I want. Orador 3 To eat well, I think the sauce is always makes the things to taste different. At least. Do you think that the sauces were good in that place? Orador 1 What? I'm sorry. Orador 3 Do you think the sauces were good? Orador 1 Oh my God, no. No, no, because they only serve their rice, only we we without any they're not. They were not marinated and they were they the yellow corn that is weak no no. Orador So. Orador 2 In the. Alright, so that's the end.

A skillet with chopped bacon and a wooden spoon to make Spaghetti Carbonara. Karishma Pradhan Beat the eggs and half of the cheese: In a small bowl, beat the eggs and mix in about half of the cheese. Cook the pasta: Once the water has reached a rolling boil, add the dry pasta, and cook, uncovered, at a rolling boil. Toss the pasta with pancetta or bacon: When the pasta is al dente (still a little firm, not mushy), use tongs to move it to the bowl with the bacon and garlic. Let it be dripping wet. Reserve some of the pasta water. Move the pasta from the pot to the bowl quickly, as you want the pasta to be hot. It's the heat of the pasta that will heat the eggs sufficiently to create a creamy sauce. Toss everything to combine, allowing the pasta to cool just enough so that it doesn't make the eggs curdle when you mix them in. (That's the tricky part.) A pot of pasta with tongs moving the pasta to a bowl. Karishma Pradhan Add the beaten egg mixture: Add the beaten eggs with cheese and toss quickly to combine once more. Add salt to taste. Add some pasta water back to the pasta to keep it from drying out. Adding whisked eggs to a bowl of noodles for Spaghetti Carbonara. Karishma Pradhan Tongs mixing pasta for Spaghetti Carbonara. Karishma Pradhan Serve at once with the rest of the parmesan and freshly ground black pepper. If you want, sprinkle with a little fresh chopped parsley.

On this Week 6 we did some speaking excercises with our teams, we talked about how technology affected the environment, our lifes and health, in this case I talked with Joyden about wearable technology.

My reflections is that us as humans need to think better if technology is really helping us to our academic, social and personal life, that is ine thing that this activity put me to think about it.

Here's the Week 6 Task and the transcription of it:

Team 6:

Conversation with me (Loreley Rodríguez Cruz) and Joyden

Word count: 276

Verb Count: 1

Could wearable technology become a standard part of our daily lives and how? I think it could become a standard part, yes. It has already started to be a standard part of our daily lives because we have smartwatches, speakers, smart clothing, I remember that I saw some clothes that have sensor monitors like geometric data and they check like the heart rate and muscle activity.

Maybe like the glasses with cameras on that I saw that too and I don't know, yes. Well I disagree in some parts, but 50 -50 because maybe if you would like renovate the clothing because in some bamboo based clothing and some things like that that we're probably not gonna use, never.

Or maybe the stretch mount that is like look like popcorn, never used that before, so yeah me too. It's ugly, so it's ugly, it's something that you know you don't want to expensive to. It's something that you do not use, but smartwatches, something like that, yes.

Even backpacks have chargers, USB, I like those, they are practical, but the clothing itself, I think no. Me neither, yes, I agree with you. Because there is some definition that is fast fashion when you like with the chain what else something so we were the dog you produces a lot of clothes that later is a trash style so it's like a tunnel have a good quality yes and it contaminates the seas and also uses a lot of water to make a piece of clothes yes you need to use a lot of water so yes it's not it's not useful yes okay yes i agree  

In this week 7 the things we did was a Thesis Statement and Skeleton Outline for an essay.

My reflection is that for me (a student who passed directly to first semester) this activity was really difficult, I don't think that I get the enough time to really understand how to do this, I hope that on the next time we do an essay we could get more time (or for me and my classmates who passed directly we could get more information and explanations).

Here is the Week 7 Mini Task

Topic: How Post-Pandemic Education affected education nowadays to teachers and students. Because of most of the teachers and students complained the pandemic cause on the education recently, accessible way to about the drastic change that teachers need to use technology in an accomplish a new way of teaching and learning they contribute to viewing the past topics that in the Pandemic were not taught properly because , they contribute to create new ways of teaching using the new and coming technology and they contribute to the motivation of the students about the school and learning. Skeleton Outline: How Post-Pandemic Education affected education nowadays to teachers and students. 1*- Topic Sentence: To contribute repassing and viewing past topics showed during the Pandemic. 2*- Topic Sentence: To contribute to create new ways of teaching using technology. 3*- Topic Sentence: To contribute to the motivation of the students about school and learning.

In this week 8 we completed the essay.

My reflection is that I think that this type of activities are really difficult but necessary for us to really improve in our written english.

Here is the Week 8 Mini Task

How post-pandemic affected the education nowadays to teachers and students To understand how we can resolve the big problem that is the post-pandemic education we need to know the possible solutions to that, teachers should know that the majority of this students are delayed on their subject's knowledge and need to solve this in a way that is easy and effective, today's schools are very familiar with technology but not on the best they can, so to address this situation the teachers should make the classes more technological, interesting and caring about the students hard academic situation (Bradshaw et al., 2010). To contribute repassing and viewing past topics shown during the Pandemic the teachers should create new strategies for addressing this problem, so it can be creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment and is important because helps to build a supportive inclusive classroom environment, teachers should prioritize the student's well-being by fostering a sense of belonging and promoting open communication. It's stated that this is critical to re-enforce and re-engaging students and combat apathy. Not only does this help to create a positive school climate, but also to improve behavioral challenges that the pandemic brought and persists (Freeman et al., 2014). Other point is that the teachers should contribute to create new ways of teaching using technology, they can set clear technology policies this being took to action by establishing and enforcing clear policies regarding the use of the cellphone in class, to the student be conscious that the excessive screen time is something that can cause various diseases and last but not least to incorporate technology mindfully by integrating technology into the classroom to use it purposefully to enhance learning rather than a substitute for meaningful interaction and this can engage students without contributing to addiction, the teachers should aim to strike a balance between digital and non-digital activities (Durlak et al., 2011). Teachers should contribute to the motivation of the students about school and learning by promoting collaboration and peer support and that consists on encouraging collaboration among the students and the teacher by using school-wide initiatives that might be SEL, developing a comprehensive behavior management and foster a positive school climate that help both of them, so taking to account this information the main help we can do to really approach and solve this problem is that the teachers must make a nice environment to the students in order to make them comfortable and excited to attend school. (Deci & Ryan, 2020).. To really address this problem we need to think about how COVID-19 really affected the education because of most of the teachers and students complained the pandemic on the education recently, accessible way to about the drastic change that teachers need to use technology in an accomplish a new way of teaching and learning they contribute to viewing the past topics that in the Pandemic were not taught properly because , they contribute to create new ways of teaching using the new and coming technology and they contribute to the motivation of the students about the school and learning.

On week 9 we finished the essay and made a video presentation about a topic of the subject.

My reflection is about the video presentation, this activity for me was refreshing, I got to talk about my favorite activity from one week, and I think it really helped me to understand more about that topic.

Here is the Week 9 Mini Task

On this week 10 we learned about passive, active voice and reported speach.

My reflection is... I really never heard of this information to be honest, and I'm glad that i get to understand this, I now know how to differentiate different types of voice.

Here is the Week 10 Mini Task

CAE I Week 10 Mini Task

1. Alex: Absolutely. We should be educating more people about these solutions. I have been volunteering at a local school to teach kids about recycling and conservation. It's important to instill these values in the younger generation.

• Alex said that we should be educating more people about this solution and that he's been volunteering to local schools to teach kids about recycling and conservation.

1. Jamie: That's wonderful, Alex. If everyone does their part, we can make a significant impact. I will start by reducing my plastic use and encouraging others to do the same. Small changes can lead to big results.

• Jamie mentioned that if everyone does their part we can make a significant impact also that we will start reducing his plastic use and encouraging other to do the same.

1. Taylor: Great plan! I have been using reusable bags and containers for a while now. It makes a big difference in reducing waste. Plus, it's such an easy switch to make.

-Taylor said that she's been using reusable bags and containers for a while now and that it makes a big difference.

1. Alex: Every little bit helps. Together, we can create a more sustainable future. Speaking of which, I have been researching ways to reduce water usage at home. Simple things like fixing leaks and using water-efficient appliances can save a lot of water.

• Alex expressed that we could create a more sustainable future and that he's been researching ways to reduce water usage at home and we can save a lot of water.

1. Jamie: That's a great point. Water conservation is crucial, especially with the increasing frequency of droughts. I have been considering installing a rainwater harvesting system. It would allow us to collect and use rainwater for gardening and other non-potable uses.

• Jamie said that he have been considering installing a rainwater harvesting system and that would allow us to collect and use the rainwater.

1. Taylor: That's a brilliant idea, Jamie. I have seen some really innovative rainwater harvesting systems that are both efficient and easy to maintain. Plus, it reduces the strain on our municipal water supply.

• Taylor shared that she have seen some really innovative rainwater harvesting systems that reduces the strain on our municipal water supply.

1. Alex: Speaking of innovative solutions, I have heard about vertical farming. It could revolutionize the way we grow food, especially in urban areas where space is limited. By growing crops in vertically stacked layers, we can maximize space and resources.

• Alex mentioned that he have heard about vertical farming and that could revolutionize the way we grow food and we can maximize space and resources.

1. Jamie: Vertical farming is fascinating. It has been shown to use less water and pesticides compared to traditional farming methods. Plus, it can provide fresh produce year-round, regardless of the season.

• Jamie said that the vertical farming has been shown to use less water and pesticides and that can provide fresh produce year-round.

1. Taylor: That's true. If more cities adopted vertical farming, we could reduce the environmental impact of transporting food over long distances. It would also support local economies by creating jobs and providing fresh, locally grown produce.

• Taylor shared that if more cities adopted vertical farming we could reduce the environmental impact of transporting food over long distances and that it would also support local economies

On this 11th Week we saw reported speech and direct quotes. The topic of the week was fashion trends, so I talked with various people and choose the ones that I liked the most, those conversations were recorded and took to do the table.

Reflection: During this week I was very stressed out because of the week we did the expossitory essay, but this activity made me relax. I have never learned before what reported speech was, and I learned from Teacher Ben. I think that the use of videos as an assignment its a good tool, also that are more dynamic than writting.

Here is the Week 11 Mini Task

On Week 12 we had the Halloween Event, so we didn't had classes, but Teacher Ben was our tutor during this event.

Reflection: During this event I enjoyed everything that we did, the only thing I really don't like is that the fact that we were going to apply the activities to children, but the children didn't stay long to be able to play with every team, so that is one thing I didn't like the most, but except for that I thing that is really good for our department to do this events, even I made Teacher Ben a pin, hope he still have it!

On this Week 15 we started to do the persuasive essay. We did the Problem statement, Introduction paragraph, first body paragraph, thesis statement, skeleton outline and finally the conclusion paragraph.

Reflection: On this week I was feeling stressed out, for me it is dificult to write and grammar itself, but it was easier for me then, because I asked Teacher Ben and some of my classmates for feedback, for me the process of making essays are very difficult because I was not used to do that, but I think I improved my writing thanks to Teacher Ben.

Here is the Week 15 a), b) and c) Mini Task

THESIS STATEMENT

Because ELT students want to learn about the effect that classical music have and see if that creates a bad or positive environment on the classroom in an ESL class, ELT students should learn how to teach and apply the introduction of music on English classes because English language teachers with experience use classical music as a resource while teaching.

SKELETON OUTLINE

English language teachers can use classical music to improve the student's attention and create a healthy environment on the classroom...

-

-

The use of classical music while the students write or complete an activity can be proved to be positive, so using classical music while studying can provide...

-

-

ESL teachers can make improvements in the student's attention and academic performance, to help the ones that could be struggling, ESL teachers can get more experienced about capturing the learner's attention...

INTRODUCTION PARAGRAPH

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. -Nelson Mandela, starting with this quote, we are going to discuss how and why the use of classical music can be helpful to the progress of an English class, what a good impact this can cause on students who have certain problems with concentration or attention. Lewis (s. f.) states based on a study where first graders were listening to classical music while studying, "However, some studies have shown that when music is played during learning experiences there is more retention of the material", Because ELT students want to learn about the effect that classical music have and see if that creates a positive environment on a English class, ELT students should learn how to teach and apply the introduction of music on English classes because that allow English language teachers to see the results of the use of classical music on a English class, that allow teacher trainers to apply the usage of classical music on a English class and that allow to get to know the positive result that the use of classical music have on kids and with what parts of their possible problems could be helped by the use of classical music

BODY PARAGRAPH

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. - John Dewey, considering this, because classical music allows English Language teachers to see the results of the use of classical music on an English class, we need to look at some studies that have been made, Mikulski y Mikulski (2024) stated that "One of the main arguments for introducing classical music into education is its potential to stimulate the brain. Scientific studies have shown that listening to classical music can improve concentration, memory, mathematical abilities, and logical thinking. Classical music, due to its harmonic-melodic complexity, requires focus and attention, which helps develop analytical skills and logical reasoning." with this we can say that the use of classical music is very positive, and we can see the results by looking at this study and the one stated on the introduction.

CONCLUSION PARAGRAPH

Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. -Gilbert K. Chesterton, considering the positive effects that the use of classical music can do in a English class, the importance of this topic is essential to newcomer teachers that are learning new ways of teaching and how to do that in a more fun way, I hope that the use of not only classical music, but other genres could really help teachers or English Language Teaching students to implement them on their studies/classes. To finish this argument, we can state that using classical music daily in our classrooms can help us to create a good environment, a good way of getting the student's attention and to progress the course of the class in an excellent and clear way.

On this Week 16 we got some feedback about the Week 15 and sent the final draft of our persuasive essay.

Reflection: To be honest this was stressful, so much, and I think I wasn't the only one but to be honest the feedback that Teacher Ben help me a lot on this essay and the redo that I did on the expossitory essay, but I don't have a bad review on this activity, I think that is important for me to increase my abilities on grammar.

Here is the Week 16 Final Project

Classical music's role in modern education

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world -Nelson Mandela. Discussing how and why the use of classical music can be helpful to the progress of an English class, it is proved by Lewis from ED.gov that ("However, some studies have shown that when music is played during learning experiences there is more retention of the material"), (Lewis, s. f.). When students of English Language Teaching are learning information of how to make a class progressive and positive they encounter with the topic of the use of music, more specific, classical music. This information can cent the question of if this new tool of teaching really helps students in an English class to improve their attention and knowledge. Taking into account this information we can state that the use of classical music in an English class can really improve their achievement. To improve the achievement of students of an English class with music, students of English Language Teaching should use the classical music during the assignments made in class to see the effects, students of English Language Teaching should learn how to implement the use of classical music on an English class and students of English Language Teaching should investigate why do they should try using classical music in an English class.

Students of English Language Teaching should use the classical music during the assignments made in class to see the effects. To prove the efficiency of testing this, a study made by Lewis from ED.gov found that the use of classical music improved the CARE environment, (Lewis, s. f.). Also, according to another study made by National University states that (Music activates both the left and right brain at the same time, and the activation of both hemispheres can maximize learning and improve memory), (Bethtbf, 2023). These findings suggest the studies and benefits that classical music does, that is

not only to retain information easily, but also that improve their memory, and this is important for the students to acquire to pass exams or do assignments. Understanding the studies and benefits of using classical music can improve and get students of English Language Teaching to apply this method on their future classes.

Students of English Language Teaching should learn how to implement the use of classical music on an English class. A 2023 study made by Classical Academic Press states some tips and advice of how to apply classical music on a classroom, it is saying that ("using classical music, in particular, offers myriad benefits, from cognitive development to emotional intelligence and cultural appreciation"), (Embrace the Harmony: How to Integrate Classical Music Into Your Lesson Plans, 2023b). Also, another study made by BusyTeacher states that (It won't be for everyone, but in every group, I've worked with, there have been several students who have later been very grateful for being guided through the initial steps of understanding and enjoying this music.). (Dixon, 2015). These findings emphasize how to apply the use of classical music in a classroom, in a way that most of the students enjoy and understand every topic seen in class. Understanding this information, we can continue to explain why students of English Language Teaching should apply the use of classical music in an English class.

Students of English Language Teaching should investigate why do they should try using classical music in an English class. A study from 2024 made from American Music Institute states that (One of the most immediate benefits of engaging with classical music is its ability to evoke deep emotional responses. Whether playing a piece by Bach or listening to a Beethoven symphony, the intricate melodies and harmonies of classical music can lead to profound emotional experiences. This emotional engagement is not

just artistically fulfilling but also therapeutically beneficial.), (Admin, 2024). Also, another study made by USC states that (The researchers speculated that music puts students in a heightened emotional state, making them more receptive to information. ("It is possible that music, provoking a change in the learning environment, influenced the students' motivation to remain focused during the lecture, which led to better performance on the multiple-choice quiz,"), (Medzerian, 2023). These findings highlight how using classical music can have therapeutic and motivation benefits, leading to the answer that, yes, using classical music can improve the student's behavior.

In conclusion, students of English Language Teaching should use the classical music during the assignments made in class to see the effects, students of English Language Teaching should learn how to implement the use of classical music on an English class and students of English Language Teaching should investigate why do they should try using classical music in an English class. New-come teachers need to research new ways of teaching, as time passes the kids need new ways of learning. Students of English Language Teaching need to acquire the knowledge of different types of teaching, even tool that are greatly new. And teachers that are now teaching need to search for other ways of keeping the students' attention, improving their achievement and increasing their memory, so that it can be useful for them in the future. Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. - John Dewey.
