Week 13: Learning Log

Learning Log
 Good teaching should be referred to curriculum. Teachers should know students’ learning lifestyles as first. They should know students’ background knowledge. At this present, most of teachers usually teach what they need, but they do not teach students by referring to curriculum. Likewise, students often do not pass several tests, including O-net, NT, Gat-Pat, etc. In addition, English is a subject that students do not be interesting on it, so they cannot understand and apply it in their real life situations. Teaching English should be included teaching macro skills; listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. The first skill that teachers should teach as first is listening skill, because general human naturally have learned listening. However, most Thai teachers have focused on teaching only vocabularies and teaching grammatical structures. In this section, I would like to reflect what I have learned all the time in class. I gains knowledge about how to do lesson plan, how to teach using teaching strategies, and how to do homework in pair.

Today is on Tuesday 3 September, 2013. There are four students who present teaching. The first person teaches about asking for direction by using preposition; left, right, cross road, etc. Content is about tourism place at Nakhon Si Thammarat. Procedure is perfect but she focuses on teaching grammar more than how to use language. The second person teaches about food of Trang City. She needs to teach students speaking but she focuses on writing or reading skill. Therefore, she should give students opportunity for having participation in activities. The third person teaches about tourism places. She focuses on speaking skill, too. Picture cards used, are not included words or phrases describing. In addition, she also evaluates what she taught not be available on her objectives. The last one teaches about asking for direction, too using structures easy to use. She focuses on speaking skill. She gives students an exercise about completing conversation. In this exercise, students can practise how to speak same as using in real situation.

Conclusion, there are important three factors for good teaching such as teacher, curriculum, and evaluation. After four students finished teaching, a teacher expresses opinions or some ideas on them. Everyone gets new ideas for preparing good regional lesson plan; it is next lesson plan. First of all, teachers have to know individual students or their learning styles and background knowledge. Next, teachers should find new information or content supporting lesson plan. Then, teachers learn on curriculum and do lesson plan. After that, teachers choose activities that can motivate students’ attention, materials-book or non-book or design them by self. For evaluation, teachers should use rubric available what they teach. Before finished class, a teacher gives us two papers work in pair. In my opinion, I think I get new experiences introducing by a teacher, including how to set objectives; terminal objective and enabling objectives, how to teach, how to entertain students, and how to evaluate. I will prepare lesson plan, activities, how to teach as well as recommendation.
