PBwiki is a new thing to me to learn in this course, it let me know how to make an easy communication and share the ideas with other people and know what they feel, but pbwiki can not let us to do the same job in a period of time in the classroom, that is hard to us finishing one subject or one topic in one time.
I like the teacher to supply many websites to us for studying English, I can use it to help me learning English after leaving this course. (Iris)
In PBwiki I learned how to contact everyone and I also know a lot of Websites to learn English. On the other hand, I learned some communication skills . Next time I would like continue to learn English on the internet. (Jiaxin)

New things I learned:
Alot - about websites for my English - my English has improveddiscussion about culture and the one about the Giraffe and Elephant (Building a House for Diversity).I would like more practice talking English, new words.
One thing I would change - no, I like everything. I would like more grammar. (Nataliya)
In this course I have learned how to use pbwiki and leave comments in it. And I also get a lot of website of learning English. It is really helpful. Next time I prefer to have more reading and writing.(Kathy)
PBwiki is tool which we can share information and idea on website,also we also can study English online.It's a good and new thing i learned in this course.However,it's neccessary to practice more including listening, speaking and reading for improving our English. So i suggest that we need more material to practice in class.This semester, we just study one articl about the Giraffe and Elephant and no any pronunciation. (Thomas)
pbwiki is a very good site for me. because in this site I learn a lots of things. I got a lots of web sites that help me very much. specially the typing program, vocabolary sites etc. This course help me how to communicate with each other. this course really help me very much. (kaniz)
As a person who really didn't need english support it was intresting to be in a class of foregin students who not only were trying to understand english but to also try to communicate in english using english grammar along with writing english. I cannot imagine what it would be like try to communicate in a language that is not your first language. The course would be better i think if there is more classroom theory. I think the online support was intresting but i think more theory in the class would benefit the students more so they can improve on english grammar and writing. (Tracy)

Thanks for all your reflections everyone. From this, I can try and structure the next course a little differently next time. Your computer skills are now much better and the wiki is now part of your learning which you can take anywhere you go. I hoped the many articles and videos we looked at, and the role-plays, would stimulate discussion and that has happened most of the time (though not always!). I hope you will all continue to study English on a regular basis. From here on, I suggest you try and find an English conversation class or join a local community group - which you can find by going to your library. Remember, you have access to many excellent English language sites with useful ideas for learning and studying - so it's up to you now
