Reflection what I have learned
from the ASEAN community
Listening is the first skill in which people have learned
since they were born. In fact, they have learned only the mother-tongue as
well. However, they were not good at learning the native languages, especially
English. Besides listening skill, how to speak English also was problematic.
Educational System Development in 21 st Century was very important
way to increase effectiveness of learning. Teachers should change the role from
teachers to advisers (teach less) and students have got the opportunity to
learn more. In addition, students should be taught by communicative language
teaching (CLT), it was focused on using English as much as possible. In this section, I would like to tell what self-direct
learning in class. There was teaching on the regional lesson plan divided into
several topics, including tourist attractions of Brunei Darussalam, Singapore,
Malaysia and other topics.
Tourist
Attractions of Brunei Darussalam was interesting topic. A teacher should teach students to read difficult words
lead to read easily short sentences. She usually used language as fluency, but
she can communicate directing to others. When she offered students to do this
activity named “Whisper game” by two teams (five persons a team). Four students
stood in line and the fifth person sat on the chair for writing what members of
team had heard. This game was good in pronunciation, but the teacher could not
control class easily because of noisy. In my opinion, she should prepare self
both pronunciation and how to solve face problem happened during doing
activities without butterflies. After travelling to Brunei, we would go to
Singapore.
Many
places in Singapore were attractive for several generations. A teacher showed video presenting tourist attractions.
Students matched picture cards appropriated with places of Singapore. For good
point, the teacher chose the interesting topic about how to write a postcard
about tourist attractions of Singapore. She showed authentic postcards. She taught
students to know how to write a postcard and gave examples of them, including
greeting, details, ending of postcard and receiver’s address. However, she
showed unclear examples for writing address. She could speak English very
fluency and control class as very good. A postcard was written shorter than
writing the letter, used to perform about interesting places or countries.
After having fun in Singapore, we will return Malaysia again.
Ten
places in Malaysia were interesting. A teacher showed video presenting
places of Malaysia. For good point, she presented big picture cards there were
3D, but they were included vocabularies. However, she did not tell or how to
say the meaning of some words such as hotspots, and venues. The conversation
was good, concise and clear, so students could use it for recommending a
place. She could pretend teaching as
good. If you would like to live in Malaysia happily, we should know the rule of
there.
“Do”
and “Don’t” were supports for the rule used in Malaysia. This topic was
very interesting and important for tourist attractions and Malaysians. First of
all, she offered video introducing about Malaysia. For good point, she allowed
students to compare what different between Malaysia culture and Thai culture by
using structures “do” and “don’t.” Secondly, students match the rule of
Malaysia with “do” and “don’t” correctly. However, she should be high-self
conscious and practice speaking. She should focus on student-centred very much.
We would go travelling around Brunei for gaining knowledge about the events and
festivals.
The
events and festivals of Brunei were special things at there. A teacher offered a game matching 10 flags in the ASEAN
community appropriate with name of countries. The word “lao” should be changed
to “Laos.” She should focus on the special events or festivals of Brunei and
divided students into groups. Each group would get different content of events
or festivals and answered questions to be sentences. After that, students
should specific and choose content interested in nowadays. We will go to
Vietnam together, after enjoyed travelling Brunei.
Travelling
around Vietnam was helpful to get experience about many tourist attractions.
A teacher showed video presenting about
Vietnamese Tourist Attractions. She taught about the descriptive adjectives.
She offered crossword activity, so students were interested on it very much.
This activity was focused on working in group and had interaction together. She
should enhance students to have participation in several types of activity such
as individual work, and pair work. She should practice how to speak English as
well as own language. Next program, we would like to go to Myanmar.
Myanmar
was a country that was beautiful place. A teacher
showed pictures about ten currencies of the ASEAN community. For good point,
she offered the authentic Myanmar, Malaysia, Laos’s bill. She showed video in
exchange rate situation. She taught students to exchange money at bank when
they would like to go aboard. She could use language as very fluency. Students
should have listened to conversation more and more, because the teacher should
focus on student-centred.
In
conclusion, there are three factors affected for good learning outcome such as
performance, evaluation and condition. Thailand
will walk into the ASEAN community and be the best unity together with other
countries in 2015. First of all, we have to understand what peace, prosperity
and people mean, because there are three poles of the ASEAN community.
According to this essay, teachers realize to apply content about it to another
function such as teaching students to ask and bargain prices using Singapore currency.
Teachers can enhance students to use English in several real life situations
taught by communicative language teaching and other teaching strategies;
task-based learning, problem-based learning, project-based learning, and the
others. However, English is not more difficult than your thought, whenever you
try to use it as if it is your mother-tongue.
