Escribo en español, ya que piden mi opinión en español.

Es un buen curso, pero a mi juicio se genera una distorsión que no sé si se genera por el lenguaje utilizado en el curso o no deja el espacio al criterio.

Tomé el curso para mantener el idioma. Aprendí inglés británico, por lo que para mi la palabras son favourite o neigbhour. Lo importante es poder comunicarse de manera oral o escrita y aunque conozco que hay diferencias ortográficas, lo obvio es que tengo que optar por una forma que transforme el uso del inglés en algo automático, como sucede con la lengua materna, y no tener que estar pensando. Al mismo tiempo ser capaz de entender, pero no necesariamente utilizar las mismas palabras. Eso también sucede con el propio idioma. Una cosa es distinguir entre el lenguaje coloquial y el formal o las diferencias en el uso del idioma entre paises en que se habla el mismo idioma y otra distinta es tener que tener que manejar las particularidades de un idioma según un país. Esto sucede en idiomas como el francés o el español.

Sugiero revisar las instrucciones de las tareas y las rúbricas.

This Course seems too simple. But actually I learned so many new things from this course. This is a very interesting course. Even though there are some troubles I want to mention. Any of the assignment haven't been reviewed by the staff members. Also there is a method called '' peer assignment". I have faced so many troubles because of that.

In peer assignments, our answers are reviewed by our classmates. It is not a good method. Because how can we count on other classmates' knowledge?. There are different kind of people with different kind of knowledge. When answering to the Some peer assignments I had answered in correct verb form but some of class mates reviewed them as wrong. So I answered them again an again. It had better change those messy things.

However I would like to say that this course is a good and interesting course .Also I recommend this to others.

Hi, there!

Congratulation! This is a very really good course! I really commended it!

On the other hand, if you don't mind, I would like to tell you that I am a little disapointed about one thing:

We write sentences, paragraphs and so on, but our teachers don't give us any comments, I mean any feedback is provided .

Our partners, well, they are learning English too, so I don't think their comments are sufficient or properly all the time. It's a good method but I am not sure it is enough.

Teachers’ feedback has been found to influence their relationships with students and students’ outcomes, including their academic engagement and aspects of their self-perceptions (Dobbs & Arnold, 2009.)

This is something you should think about it. It will be great. Certainly, students we feel much more supported!

Finally, all the exercices are very good!

Sincerely,

your devoted student,

El Perfect Tense fue un tema con el que siempre tuve dificultad ya que no entendía bien en que contexto utilizarlo, con este curso pude comprenderlo mejor y saber en que momento se necesita y en cual es innecesario.

The Perfect Tense was a subject with which I always had difficulty since I didn't understand well how to and in what what context to use it, with this course I was able to understand it better and know when it is needed and when it is unnecessary.

The course is informative and entertaining, but sometimes things are explained in a way people might have hard time to understand. Things could've been made and explained easier. Audio in some of the videos are of poor quality, not something you expect from a course that teaches you a language. I shall give a feedback in the course page itself once I have gone through all material. Overall, the course is worth taking. Good luck to everyone.

A great resource to review the grammar rules relating to perfect tenses and modal verbs. There are several positive aspects of this course: quality content, amazing instructors and active assessment tasks. However, I don't give 5 stars to this course because some of the exams and activities were too easy and simple for me. Therefore, It's something that could be improved.
