🌈 Introduction

For this activity, I created a mind map that represents my Personal Learning Environment (PLE). The goal is to show the different strategies, tools, and resources I use to learn English, and how these elements support my academic and professional development. 🌿✨

This evidence belongs to the course English Level 6 – MCE B1.1+. To complete it, I reviewed the article by Kupchyk & Litvinchuk (2020) about how ICT tools support the creation of Personal Learning Environments for learning foreign languages. 💻📘

Using this information, I designed a colorful mind map that illustrates how I learn English in my daily life and in my work environment.
