Learning Reflections 7

Seminar in English Language Teaching

 

         Professor taught me about the factors affecting English Language Teaching and Learning. She explained the factors that affect the students; age, learner differences and motivation. Age is divide into 3 span; young children, adolescents and adult learner. They have different way to learn and different to react the teacher, and can effect the students in learning. The second factor is learner differences; It's depend on aptitude, good learner characteristics, learner style of Tony Wright and Keith Willing, language levels and individual variations. The last factors that effect to students is their motivation. There are 2 kind of motivation.

                           1. Define motivation

                               - extrinsic motivation

                               - intrinsic motivation

                           2. Sources of motivation

 

        Next, the factors that effect the teacher, there are many factors; beliefs, ability in using English, method and styles, use of teaching and learning materials and etc. Moreover, there are other factors that effect the learning and teaching such as environment, time, etc.

 

And then, professor gave students a sheet to add the information about language levels and more theory.

 

       I find easy that the factors affecting English Language Teaching and Learning, because the professor explained clearly and add more necessary information to explain each topic.

 

       I find difficult some topic; Neuro - linguistic programming. It was quite fast, so I can't get some idea. My mistake!!! I don't pay attention in this part.

 

My attitude, I should more pay attention in the lesson. Talk less and pay attention in the class!
