In class we discussed speaking in the classroom and also peer reviewed artifacts for our final portfolio. Our student presenter for the night was Mariya. I thought she posed to very good questions. The first, which is more imporant in speaking accuracy or fluency. Secondly, are segmentals or suprasegmentals. In my opinion fluency and suprasegmentals are more important because they focus on the overall product. Where as, accuracy and segmentals focus on individual words and sounds. I believe the most important part in speaking is the message. Not how the message sounds. As long as it is understood and the meaning of it can be negotiated. In my opinion this is the more important aspect of speaking.
The peer review for our final portfolio went well. It is good to get something done before the end of the semester so I am not so rushed during finals week. I was glad to see that my group had made progress as well. It was good to see some examples of their work, because I was confused on what type of artifact would fulfill the standard I choose.
