What is a language-learning diary?
The language-learning diary is a document to help you learn the material more effectively and focus on your objectives, and a learning style that suits your needs. It helps you to think about how you learn; it is a summary of your language learning experience; it is a record to show other people (your teacher) your language abilities and progress, to assess your overall language level.
You are supposed to make a summary of your learning process, including the time when you accomplish the tasks, the record of materials you have used, new words’ register, the record of the materials studied, and a creative task. That will help you to present your language and learning experiences in a clear and comfortable way.
