International English

The end of a school year always makes me nostalgic. When I think back upon all the good times and everything I complained about it seems so long ago. I can barely remember all the different things we did. International English was a subject I chose because of my affection for the English language. My expectations were quite low as mentioned in my first blog post.

This has been an interesting year. Our teacher used some unorthodox methods for teaching and it was hard to adapt to in the beginning. The opportunity to partake in the plans for the school year and writing a blog are some examples. Even though I disagree on some of the methods our teacher used, since I prefer some of the old methods, I have had an interesting year with many ups and downs. International English is a subject which should be chosen by people who are interested in English and English-speaking cultures. If you have a slight interest for said subjects I recommend international English. What I will remember from International English is probably the class. We had an awesome class with a lot of awesome people. The memory of the assignments we did will fade over the years but I will never forget the people I acquainted.

There were ups and downs. We watched a lot of movies and had quite some group projects. I liked the variation in kinds of assignments which prevented the classes to become monotone and boring. The blogging was not my thing, even though it wasn’t terrible. However, what we learned was not what I expected to learn. Perhaps next year will fit me better.

  1. Interesting comment Kristoffer, can't make up my mind if you liked this year or not. I can agree with you that this was a great class, I liked all the students too. An interesting gang and really inspiring to spend time with. Loved my Fridays this year. What I'm taking with me from your writing is this; I liked the variation in kinds of assignments which prevented the classes to become monotone and boring. The blogging was not my thing, even though it wasn’t terrible. That makes me happy! Love the last sentence, not terrible! Can live with that!
