System overload, I have course books, online exercises, online forums, technology for recording, online tutorials and meetings. My previous OU modules weren’t language based, so there was none of this speaking and recording stuff. I feel far more nervous. I have a fear that my first assignment will be two minutes of silence, then in English, the words “End of Assignment, aaargh.
I think in a month’s time, I will be ready. After all this first assignment is just a presentation, not a dialogue. Between now and then, there are tutorials, on and off line. Introductions to the OU way of connecting online.
There’s always skype to get my French friends to test out my pronunciation. And perhaps give some feedback on style. Do I sound as if I am reading a message at gunpoint or if I am talking naturally about something that interests me? Can they hear that tremor in my voice?
Bonne chance
