In(ter)dependent Learner #Crit101

Originally published here.

So let’s begin.. What is my reason to participate in this course? (#crit101)

Well I decided that it would benefit me in many ways, such as: 

  1. Being more independent as a researcher and as a learner.
  2. Help me become more thorough in my work. 
  3. Read and gather information from a wide variety of written sources.
  4. Develop a better understanding of the English language.
  5. Make me more prepared for the future. 

But what is ‘independent learning’? 

I believe that ‘independent learning’ is when someone is determined to learn more and push boundaries.. I believe that an independent learner is prepared to take the extra step and are able to be self-motivated in order to fulfil their true potential. I think that the skills they learn when being an independent learner will endure them throughout their whole lifetime. 

I think being an independent learner is essential as it shows that you are capable of pushing yourself to the limit and it also shows that you are prepared to go the extra mile.

To round this off, I believe that I can become a more independent learner due to this course, I believe that this course will help me broaden my English skills that will help in and outside the classroom. 

I think that this course will definitely push me to become more independent and motivated as a learner and as a person.
