You are a professional blogger working for a Toronto language learning community blog. You’ve been assigned the responsibility of writing a brief personal interest blog entry about ‘English language learning journey’ from a personal perspective that readers can relate to. This is a very important contribution to the community blog as over half of the population in Toronto speaks a language other than English in their household. Your readers are interested in learning more about various languages and language learning strategies through the stories of their fellow community members.
For this task, you will conduct an interview with a classmate about their English language learning journey and then report your interviewee’s story in the form of a blog post. Your final step is to then read and reflect on your own and other students’ language learning journeys, all of which will be posted on the community blog.
