My Review with The Academic Word List
In this week I choose one strategy from my learning language plan. This strategy was from the vocabulary development. I reviewed the vocabulary’s column of the Academic Word List in Inside Reading 1 book. I made task to check my spelling in those words. I found those words easy so I found a few false in my spelling of those words such as acknowledge and ambiguous. Also, I memorized their meaning in Arabic and in English language. Some words I learned them from last year so they helped me to memorize them quickly for example academy and affect. This strategy would help me a lot to understand the texts in Inside Reading 1 book. In addition, memorizing those words would help me in the final English skills 1 exam. Furthermore, those words would help me in my writing skill. I will keep up with this strategy to benefit from it in the final exam. In this strategy I used www.dictionary.com to help me to get the meaning of the vocabulary.
Language Learning Journal developed my writing skill. In addition, it helped me to know how to write reflection of any word. Also, it helped me to do what I plan in my Language Learning Plan.

Language Learning Journal (week 9/10)
My listening skill improvement with the exciting anime
I watched an anime in http://www.animefreak.tv which talked about a country which occupied another country. I saw the suffering of the occupied people from their enemies. However, there was a hero who was fighting those enemies to save that innocent people. I liked that anime very much because its story was an interesting story which made me excited with it. The accent of that anime was clear so I understood many words however there was many high level words which I didn’t understand such as, consequence, corresponding, and inevitable. That anime didn’t have Arabic translation this thing made me very careful to the vocabulary to understand the events of its story. Also, this anime took from me a longtime to watch it because it had 25 episodes. In addition, this anime was useful to be accustomed to the English accent. I think I will watch like this anime to improve my listening skill and to learn more high level vocabulary.
www.animefreak.tv has many beneficial anime which improve student’s listening skill, reading skill, and vocabulary development. I advise student who study English Language to use this web cite to take some benefit and to interest from it.

Language Learning Journal (week 8)
My benefits from Aljazeera.net
In the third week with my Language Learning Plan, I worked in two aspects of my Language Learning Plan which were listening and reading skills. In reading skill, I read three pages from http://english.aljazeera.net/ . I was interesting when I read different news about different countries for instance, Afghanistan, US, and Gaza. There was many difficult vocabulary I didn’t understand such as, candidate and crucial. I think that I didn’t understand that kind of vocabulary because I haven’t had good experiences of reading high level texts. However, I understood some ideas from those texts. I will keep up with these kinds of texts to learn more high level vocabulary and more information about other countries news.
The second aspect was in listening skill. I listened also, in http://english.aljazeera.net/ to improve my listening skill. The presenter’s reading was very fast and included high level vocabulary which I didn’t understand it. However, I picked out some words form that news which I understood for example, issue, policy, government, and illegal. I downloaded that video to listen carefully to it in next time. I will keep going with listening to Aljazeera news to improve my listening skill and because I interesting in listening to the news.
Whatever I learned there are a lot of information and vocabulary that I don’t know. I learned in that week that the world always doesn’t find the stability because of the political problems. Language Learning Plan’s strategies will make me improve my English language and learn new information in the same time.

Language Learning Journal (week 7)
Second week with my LLP
I learned that any person can learn many things in one day, if he managed his time. I had difficult experience in managing time with MY Language Learning Plan in last week however in this week; I felt that I became experienced to apply my Language Learning Plan. This feeling will become more flexible from now to the next weeks. Vocabulary development and reading skill were the two aspects from my decision to practice in them in week seven.
That was the first time to me to interest in educational game. That game was a vocabulary puzzles (Crossword challenge). It was very useful to my vocabulary development. Crossword challenge reviewed my old vocabulary and taught me new verbs, phrasal verbs, nouns, adjectives, and idioms. For there more, Crossword challenge taught me how to use those words in sentences like the adjective significant. In addition, it taught me the right spelling of the vocabulary. I think I will play this educational game a lot in the next few days.
The second strategy was reading (Far From the Madding Crowd) novel. I read some chapters from it. I learn some new vocabulary for instance, wagon which means a strong vehicle for carrying things. However, I didn’t complete that novel because I haven’t had enough time to read it. In addition, I used reading program (Read Up-Speed Up) to read faster and it was beneficial program to me. For example, I read three pages from (Far From the Madding Crowd) novel in ten seconds. Also, practiced myself after I read a text and I got a full mark.I like Language Learning Plan project because it helped me in my helpless English skills. I think I will become stronger in vocabulary, reading, listening skills in the end of this semester. If you make goals in front of your eyes you will have big benefit when you achieved it.

Language Learning Journal (week 6)
First week with my LLP
All college students must develop their English language skills to succeed in the English courses. I’m one from these students and I want to be a successful student in my English courses. To achieve this goal I made many strategies in my helpless skills to develop myself in English language such as, vocabulary and reading skill. In the first week I choose three strategies from my learning language plan. The first strategy was from the vocabulary skill, the second strategy was from the reading skill, and the third strategy was from the listening skill.
The first skill was the vocabulary development. I made a vocabulary notebook and wrote the new words in it. Also, I research about their meaning in the dictionary. I learned their part of speech to write correct sentence. The notebook remembered me the new words when I wrote and spoke. Also, I understood the general English texts faster than in the past. The second skill was the reading skill. I watched Survivors movie which had a translation in English. I was reading the translation quickly to not lose any sentence. That way was useful for my reading speed. I think I will read faster and faster in the future. However, I lost some sentences when I was watching the movie so I will watch that movie again to understand it more than now. The third skill was the listening skill. I used Active Listening English program. That program was very beneficial to me in long conversation. In addition, the Active Listening English program helped me to understand the different English accents. However, it didn’t benefit me in taking notes from the lecturers in listening exams. In the second week, I will play vocabulary game (Crossword challenge) in my laptop. In addition, I will read story (Far From the Madding Crowd) and I will use reading program (Read Up-Speed Up). For there more, I will watch English movie (Fruit basket) and I will take some notes from this movie to improve my listening skill.
