Topic : My Business

I plan to open a small cafe restaurant called “Korecan”. My idea is to open a small cafe restaurant for
those who love- Korean culture and foods because nowadays in Turkey many people like- Korean
culture and foods and they would like to try some new foods such as bakery or some traditional
dishes.I believe that my business will be successful with good advertising and quality products and I
will prepare some small gifts for customers who come to the cafe or want takeaway. I need 60000 TL
and talented Korean cooks to open - my cafe restaurant.

STUDENT’S OVERALL REFLECTION

NUMBER:200157205054 DATE:07/01/2021

CLASS: E-PREP 1 (A2)

Dear student,

You are expected to write an overall reflection at the end of each semester about your learning
process and progress. Please answer the following questions in order to reflect upon your
language development since the beginning of this semester. Please keep in mind that your answers
to the questions are valuable and will be considered as a constructive feedback for the
improvement of teaching and assessment practices at our school. Please answer each question and
put this document into your portfolio before your self-assessment document.

These questions may help you ☺

1. What have you learned during the semester about Student Portfolio?
2.  How happy are you with your performance in learning English language (skills, i.e., writing,
reading, speaking, listening and subskills, i.e., vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation)?
3. What have you done well/badly?
4. What problem areas have you encountered?
5. What do you think about Portfolio and Portfolio assessment?
6. Do you have any suggestions for improving the Student portfolio?
7. Do you have any suggestions for improving the instruction and the assessment practices at the
Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University, School of Foreign Languages?
8. Other areas of reflection (e.g., Comments about the teacher performance, class hours, etc.)

Grammmar, vocabulary ve writing konusunda kendimi geliştirdiğimi düşünüyorum fakat speaking ve

pronunciation konusunda kendimi daha çok geliştirmem gerektiğinin farkına vardım. Döneme ilk
başladığımda konuşmaktan ve hata yapmaktan korkuyordum fakat şimdi yanlış da olsa elimden geldiği
kadar konuşup kendimi geliştirmeye çalışıyorum. Portfolyonun yazma becerilerimi gelişmesini etkili
olduğunun farkına vardım ama yine de daha çok çalışıp elime geçen bu fırsatı en iyi şekilde
değerlendirmeliyim. Bir tavsiyem yok. Uzaktan eğitim olduğu için zorlanacağımı düşünmüştüm fakat
hocalarım ve verdikleri eğitim çok iyiydi. Hepsi bize yardımcı olmak için elinden gelenin fazlasını
yaptılar.
