This blog was created for students teachers to reflect on their teaching experience at school and share this experience with one another. As each shares and collaborates on best practices, successes as well as mistakes in teaching ESL, it is hoped that student teachers will benefit from such collaborative reflections on this blog platform and continue to appreciate the use of such a platform for further collaborations even after Teaching Practice.

Good Morning Teacher !

This is us at day 1. (from left is veny, aby and phyll while shahrul took this picture) Good Morning teacher is what often wished by the students at school although sometimes it is already afternoon. hahaha.. So the first week itself been quite an IMPACT to me because the principal is quite demanding in terms of education. So we actually need to be a perfect figure to both students and other teachers. Because of S.M.K Seri Hartamas is full with students from educated families backgrounds, she said that we must not use harsh word and we can't even touch the students. Pheww... and the students speak fluent and better english than me. I was like "among all the schools in Kl and PJ I got this school?" Being a teacher is far than easy. I have from 2 class that can't even be in silent for 5 minutes and form 4 class that is very passive. I'm still trying out methods that can get their attention which is quite hard since there is no projector in the classroom and media room usually occupied by other classes. Plus their exam just around the corner, we need to prepare them for exam! But whatever it is nothing is impossible! GAMBATE! Honestly I felt like giving up on the first week itself because it is very challenging! Thank God for still giving me courage and friends to go through all this. It is indeed going to be one of the BEST experience ever!

  2. Focus on reading up on strategies...approaches to help improve your teaching. The two classes are obviously very different. With time, you will improve. Check out thelushtre.blogspot.com for resources.
