The topic for my group is globalization vs culture preservation (I really love this topic, by the way ^__^).So, based on the theme, me and my group created a video and a poster to do our campaign.

[LTM] Brown’s Twelve Principles in Classroom

cr: www.brown.edu

From my last school experience I found few of twelve principles in classroom activities. From the classroom interaction, I notice that not all of twelve principles can be found during teaching and learning activities. I found it from observation and also from interview. The twelve principles that I’ve found are automaticity, the application of reward, strategic investment, the native language effect, and communicative competence.

            I found the automaticity principle from the interview result of my master teacher. I asked him about students who have fluency or can answer faster then the others in class. My master teacher answered that only few of the students who more expert or master in English subject. For example student which name is W***. Whenever he asked her (the student), she will answer it immediately. She is different from other students which usually must have longer time to think the answer first. She speaks fluently even though some of the pronunciations were wrong. From this case, I realized that she is good in changing her language from her own native language to the second language. She has automaticity to controls the process in changing the language. That was why she can immediately answer the teacher before the other students answer the teacher.

[TLL] ICT in Language Learning

cr: http://farm4.static.flickr.com

Nowadays, teaching and learning activities closely related to ICT. According to Graham Davies which states that since over fifty years ago ICT has been develop and affect to the new way of learning and teaching activities in language learning. Recently, so many schools had complete facilities for learning and teaching activities with some media, for example ICT. As well as the school where I did the school experience, this school also has media technologies. This school has good facilities to facilitate the teacher and the students to have a better learning and teaching process in school. Seeing those technologies, I wonder if my master teacher had used this technology in his teaching.

My master teacher did teach the students using some media technologies, but most of them are kind of old technologies such as tape recorder, VCD player, LCD projector (if he needs to use it) and personal laptop. He also told me that he often to search materials or worksheet from internet.

[MP] Stop Motion Video

Stop Motion

I learn about stop motion on MP class. This is very new one for me to know what is stop motion. Stop motion video is about video based on pictures. Stop motion talking about one object in video which is looks like do some movement or motion whereas it do not move at all. Only the background and surroundings that are move, but the object do not.
A video of stop motion video can be made by only using Windows Movie Maker. It's quite easy to make it. :)


Here are a tutorial video about stop motion. Watch this video carefully to learn how to make stop motion video.

[PETA] Teaching Asisstance Reflection 2nd Week (Effective and Ineffective)

cr: http://zahraflower.files.wordpress.com

“This is the time!” that was the word which came out of my mind when second week of school experience come. Yes, second week of school experience had come to do team teaching. I was so nervous because have to teach in class, more nervous because that was the first time to teach in class. There are so many plans that came out of my mind to prepare everything in class. I thought how to handled the students if they do not pay attention or how to raise my volume of voice if they noisy and so on. Well, before my “team teaching” do teach the students in class, of course we have to see how is the master teacher teaches his students (even we did it in first week, but we have to observe again in the second week to more prepare our self in teaching later. By observe his way of teaching, we think that we can use the effective way like he did (of course we have to do something more interesting and better than he didJ) and remove the ineffective thing of his way.

Unfortunately, I forgot that during the school experience my master teacher didn’t have material to teach. During first and second week of our school experience, he only has examination and drama performance in class. I couldn’t observe anything I need to finish this journal. Then, I wasn’t give up at all to know what something effective and ineffective from his way of teaching. So I move to his lesson plan that really good to develop students’ aspects. I think that his lesson plan was really good and perfect. From his lesson plan, it seems that my master teacher is an update teacher because he uses so many sources of materials to teach the students.

Honestly, I think semantics is the hardest courses in this semester T_T. However, I really enjoy this course. :)

[MP] The Dream Future of Technology Use In Classroom

cr: http://thejournal.com

In first MP Class, Pak Jeff (my lecture of this course) ask me and other students in class to create an imagination about technology in the future that use in classroom. He ask us to imagine something about technology that can make us easier to do teaching and learning process beside the technologies which we have now. Pak Jeff ask us to write in the paper and then share it to the class.
This is what I wrote at that time:

*The Question:
As a teacher, what technology can be use in 4 years time from now in teaching?
*My Answer:
I want to have a flying eye camera which can flies away in class. I want that eye watch the students during the test when I'm not be in class. If there are students who are cheating in the class, then the eye can remind them not to cheat with splashing the paintball. So, I would know the culprit who cheated in the class, then I can give them a detention for what they have done. ^___^

Yeah, that was just my imagination with technology in teaching and learning future. I hope I really have that one. hehehe... :D

[UET] English Teacher and Storytelling

cr: www.dec.ny.gov

In, UET class, we had lesson about storytelling. As an english teacher, I think storytelling is important and an obligatory things to do in teaching the students. With storytelling, students can improve their listening skill and also speaking skill when they also do the storytelling in the class.

Analogies, anecdotes, parables, fables, metaphors and idioms are all storytelling methods for imparting wisdom or making a point. Frequently, such methods represent a far more effective way to achieve this than through a plain presentation of facts. Here are five tips to help you find your story voice.

1. Leap and the net will appear

Start turning personal experiences into stories for your presentations. It's important that you remember that experiences don't automatically equate to stories, it's how you relate them that does.  Sharing such experiences innevitably requires you to be willing to talk publicly about what are essentially private events. This requires a leap of both faith and imagination, however once you have taken the initial plunge you wil find that you quickly become comfortable doing so.

[TLL] Introducing: Podcast for Language Learning

cr: www.geneedwards.com

Few years ago, people like to listen news on internet by online radio. However, this way to get news did not really match with people who have many activities. When people want to listen something from online radio, at least they have to know the time of the broadcast itself. If they do not stay tuned or streaming on the online radio, they might be lost the broadcasting. From this case, some people came up with the idea of 'a non-streaming online radio'.

Based on that case 'podcast' was born, it’s well known as ‘a non-streamed digital media’. The word podcast is stands from the word pod and cast. Pod means playable or personal demand, and cast means broadcast. So, podcast also means radio with concept anytime and anywhere (broadcasting digital media).

How you use a podcast? How to play it? Podcast is an audio media file, so it’s a mp3 format. You can play a podcast with only by using an ordinary audio player / mp3 player. You don’t need to have an iPod to listen it. Something special about podcast is free! We can subscribe it. We do not need to visit the site to find new episode or series of podcast.

[PETA] Multiple Intelligences and the Implementation in the Classroom

cr: www.brainleadersandlearners.com

In many schools teachers usually treats the students in the same way, because they don’t know that the students is different. Students have different multiple intelligences. Teachers teach like there’s only one intelligence for all students. So, it will be better if teachers teach students based on their intelligence but still using the same material.

We know that there are eight multiple intelligences, such as verbal linguistic, logical mathematical, visual spatial, musical rhythmic, bodily kinesthetic, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, naturalist intelligence. Every student has all of the intelligences, but some might be more dominant than the others. The dominant intelligences of each student are not the same. Teacher should teach and assess differently based on individual strengths and weaknesses.

[Ahndesu's Mind] Why Teacher?

This is just my opinion of becoming a teacher. So watch what I’m going to say this time.

Well, here I go…

Have you ever thought? Before you finally decide to become a teacher, consider your reasons for wanting to take this step. We’re going to teach children and teenagers, or probably teach people who are older than us. Educating those kinds of people is a challenge, and if you are going to take it on you will become part of their world, which has both advantages and disadvantages.
