3Rd WEek!!

hola and salam to all!!!!

3rd week???? wow i feel like just entered UM and now already 3rd week. and this is 3rd time i was entered the Using and develop resources in ESL classroom.. my feelings towards this class really good..no more nervous or scared and so on..

This week before entering the class i was taught that my friends and i will do something like editing but this week Pn.Foziah not really good in health. She told us that she was tired and not really can teach us..so she ask us to sit in the 6 group and she had give each group one topic to discuss and present it in front of the class. PnFoziah allocated 1 hour for us to discuss the topic and after that we need to present it to the class. My group consists of 7 members and our topic was about “The Instinct for Interaction and Talk

The first group who presented was Chin’s group which was on “Children’s Capacity for Indirect Learning”. In the particular topic they have presented about

“The general idea of indirect learning (what is indirect learning?)”,

"Example of indirect learning activities”
and
“Why indirect learning is important?”

After listening to the presentation, I personally feel that it is effective if the teacher provides a room for their students’ indirect learning. Conducting activities like “Guessing games”, “Puzzle”, “Hangman” and “Charade” are some examples of language activities which lead to the indirect learning of the students. This is because; in such games the mind is engaged with the task and is not focusing on the language. It means that, students do not consciously set out to learn it; meanwhile they acquire it through continuous exposure and use. Thus, it would be effective for a student to learn the language easily in a fun way.


We were the second group which presented today and the topic is about pupils’ own initiative to indulge in an interaction. In the slide show we included the definition of the topic, the benefits of instinct interaction and the role of teacher in developing instinct interaction in a classroom. Based on the topic that we had presented, I do realize that whenever possible, a teacher must indulge the pupils in group discussion, language games and group activity.
In a classroom, there will be pupils with different kind of learning styles, attitudes and characteristics. Thus as a teacher, our responsibility is to understand them and find a way to indulge them in an instinct interaction.that interaction between teacher and students is important as it will lead the students to have a good interpersonal relationship between one another which lower students’ affective filter in learning as well as improve their oral skills (fluent) of the language in the future.

that's all..dadada

2nd week


Hola and salam....

it's 2nd week already..hahaha and i'm still shocked with the all these things related with the technology and the software...

but as a student i have to try them right??? alright...this 2nd week Pn.Foziah had told and introduce also make us clear about this subject ..she have introduce us about 5 models which is:-

# Internet and competence skills
# Photo editing skills
# Video editing skills
# Audio editing skills
# Software for ESL skills.

all of those model really makes me excited because i really want to learn about that before this but seem do not have enough time to learn about it i just postponed and Alhamdulillah through this subject i will learn them and i want to do the best to acquire all those things..heheh

Next new things that had exposed to me is about










1). MOYEA-download and arrange web videos from YouTube, Google Video, Fox and other more video-sharing websites ,convert videos, displays videos on playlist for quick selection,publish videos with player on webpage with sample code,etc



b)Windows Live Skydrive: Give 25GB of free online storage.

wow..Pn Foziah really technology savy...she know every single things about technology..i'm so impressed with her because eventhough her age makes me wonder how she really cope with the technology..but thats is Pn Foziah... about windows Live skydrive...i like the new born baby that do not know anything about it...so i have to learn more with her..

3rd things that i have learned is about touch typing skill.It is typing without looking at the keyboard. I always hope that I can be the touch typing master but until now I still need to look at the keyboard when typing even though the speed is faster now.

There are some rules to master touch typing:
  • Firstly sit up straight and make sure your head is parallel with the monitor.
  • Remember to keep your fingers on the home row. Place your left index fingers on alphabet ‘F’ and the right index finger on the alphabet ‘G’.This is the border for the movement of left and right fingers during typing.
  • Curve your fingers, wrists up and elbows by your side.
  • Finally and the important one is you need a lot practice because practice makes perfect.

Happy keyboarding.

After that we were asked to answer questionnaires. The purposes of the questionnaires were to know the level of our competency in using the applications and to get information about usual background such as name, address and website address. For me, the questionnaires were really useful because it made me realize about the available software and applications that I never used before. There are a lot to backup so that I can be a good 21st century .

at the end of the session, i have learned many new things...and really can't wait for the next class..

ok that's all
dada..
