The logbook is your language learning diary: you write down precisely and regularly what you do to learn one or more languages..
It is a personal tool, to which only you and your teachers have access.
You can use it within your lessons but also outside to manage your learning.
At the University of Lorraine, your logbook is digital and you access it via the EDOlang platform
Once on EDOlang, click on “my logbook” then “connect”. [break]
Your logbook includes 3 sections that we will present to you: “my activities”, “me and language learning” and “my profile”.
The aim is to help you reflect on your learning.
Broad topic !To do this, we advise you to adopt the following approach :
- you can start by self-evaluating, that is, taking stock of your situation. [break]
This step corresponds to the “me and language learning” section in your logbook.
Then, you can fill out your profile by choosing the main language you will work on. This choice will be useful for selecting your learning resources from the EDOlang catalogue.
Now you are ready to embark on activities to achieve the goals you have set for yourself. You are free to do whatever you want! Use the services offered by language resource centers or work on resources from the catalog, the choice is yours! The idea is to comment on each of your activities in the “my activities” section of your logbook to evaluate their usefulness. If you are accompanied by a teacher, he will react to your comments in your logbook. To find out how to fill out your logbook, watch this tutorial.
Finally, we suggest that you take stock of your work. Did you achieve your goals? For what ? What was positive or negative? What are you going to do next?
To summarize, your logbook is your learning companion: it accompanies you from your initial self-assessment, for the definition of your difficulties and objectives, in the analysis of your learning activities and for your final assessment !
