Learning Reflections 1

 Seminar in English Language Teaching Course

 

 

                   This is the first meeting in Seminar in English Language Teaching course(1554903). Teacher explained the course outline and made understanding "What will we learn in this class?". I have to search for information concerning English language pedagogy and problem, from a variety of sources such as research, journals, newspaper, articles and online resources and learn about them. I have to discuss and analysis of reading in English. I have to know about Global English, context of English, Language teaching, ESL. EFL,EIL, role of English and everything about Teaching in English.

 

                    First period, teacher gave assignment to think back about the English Teaching courses that I've learned already;  English Teaching methodology1, English Language assessment and Evalution, Cultural of native speakers, Learning English throught Projects; and discussed with group members "What did we learn", "advantages and disadvantages", "Suggestion to this course", then presented in front of class.

 

                    - English Teaching methodology1 is about surveying the different approaches and seeking a variety of techniques, innovation, activities, and teaching environment from each approach that best facilitate English language learning, Evolution of English, etc.

 

                    -English Language Assessment and Evalution

                           This course is an overview of how to assess English language teaching and evaluate an English teaching program.

 

                    - Cultural of native speakers is about Cultural and traditions of English speakers, Do and Don't, role play, prohibition in each countries, etc.

                    - Learning English throught Projects

                            This course is a practicing that integreted language skills through project management, including producing language products; information research projects, survey project, and producing projects with the application of presentation techniques.

 

 

                       I think this course is not easy for me. It 's hard to read the articles, hard to find the good article or information. My problem is some difficult vocabulary and grammar, and I don't know how to analysis the articles in the best way. It's hard to make understanding all articles and make it clearly for myself. Some academic articles are more difficult than my ability.

                      Therefore, my attitude for Seminar in English Language Teaching course, is not too good, not too bad but I feel confuse and unconvinced in my ability for this course. I love reading but I'm not sure for reading the academic artcles. However, I will try my best.!!!

 

Try my best !!!!
