Self Evaluation*

Manner of speaking
I think I quite excited in my first teaching such as I forgot to reply my students’ question about greeting although I had prepare for this teaching. I sometime forgot my script so, teaching was abrupt for a short time. Also, I think I have eye contact, friendly, always smile and always give reinforcement to students when I teach. I have a problem about my pronunciation in pronounce verb in the past form when it add with –ed.

Visual Aids
For my first visual aids, that is the picture I think it’s colorful and quite interesting because I used the picture of person that everyone knows them. For my example sentences I think it makes students be confused. I’m not separate my situation into a sentence. That makes students have more comprehension.

Comprehensibility
From my visual aids I’m not separate my situation into a sentence so that makes students be confused. I also use easy vocabulary and simple sentences to describe. Besides, I lack of explaining the words that used with past simple tense such as last – ago – once – yesterday about when it is used. I think I must describe about it to my students because in the real life the students may not know when it is used.

Techniques
My presentation is not well. I still teach in common way and don’t have more creative activities. The students don’t have more participation in my teaching.

Ways to improve my teaching
In the next teaching, I will try to do best as I can do. I will create my interesting activities to teach my students. Having more teaching aids will make students interested in my teaching and they will have more comprehension. I will be careful about my pronunciations and have more prepare than the first one.

Dying of Loneliness

Dear, madam

Madam why did you think you are alone in the world. Don’t engross too much about that. Although, you think that your husband is all of your life but in reality is not. You said when your husband was living, you and him often visited lonely people and did everything with them that makes them are not lonely. You can do everything that you and your husband used to do. I think loneliness is not worse like a cancer that you think. You should change attitude toward this. You should count your blessing or think only good things such as you have many people in your life who love and always stay besides you. You are better than people who are inferior to you such as crippled or poor. There are many good things in the world. If you have positive thinking that makes you feel better. Besides, I believe happiness is own yourself. The most of people usually look down it and always seek happiness that they didn’t know what is happiness and where is it? All of these, I think you should spend your life alike your husband was living. I am surely your husband doesn’t want you to be lonely like this. You should spend your time with your parents, your cousins instead of spending most of time with your sorrow. Your life must go on. At the first, it is very worst but the time is pass everything will be better and better. Every problem has the solution including your loneliness.

Don’t worry, to be strong.
Abby.

Dear Stumped

Don't worry about that and calm down. She was just immature to decide whatever it is suitable or not. Anyway, you should understand that teenagers in this generation that they quite have their own thought and their own ways. So, you should not blame on her and don't break up their relationship by forbidding her to see her boyfriend again. That makes your daughter leave home directly. I think you should to talk to her gently, reasonably and try to teach her with some useful suggestions. Besides, you must show her the disadvantages of having boyfriend or sex in premature age is a good way of teaching. It can make her think of the bad results so she won’t dare to do something like this again.


Love. Abby

Reflection : Power Teaching

I think Power Teaching is useful both teacher and their students. Teacher can create peaceful classrooms full of orderly fun while students will learn with having fun and classrooms are full of task-focused laughter. Teachers get the attention of the whole class by say one word and then they respond together with a smile, and often a giggle. Teachers speak for a short period of time, and get students to teach each other that just makes the classroom more engaging. The key to making it fun is the imitation and that includes gestures. Moreover, classrooms are highly order and tightly organized because students have more fun following our rules than ignoring them. I believe that is the best way to get the student’s attention and to manage classroom that keeps students engaged in learning because it combines auditory, verbal and visual elements. Besides, they are then encouraged to interact with each other that can engage students in active learning. Lastly, I think Power teaching will makes students want to come to school and focuses more on rewarding them for good behavior than punishing them for what they do wrong.

Dear only a boy*

Hello, I think I know how do you feel when force to do something. First, I think you should talk to your parents about it. Tell them truly about the reason why you don’t want to go to there. I believe that they would listen to you although you are just a thirteen-year-old boy. You said you don’t like people who are drunkards, gossips, liars, and cheats that they go to church. I think you should have positive thinking about that. It makes you feel better. Although, they are drunkards, gossips, liars, and cheats but they all come to church every Sunday because they believe in god. That shows they still have good thing inside themselves. I believe if you think through it you will know and absolutely agree with a saying that said “No one is perfect” I believe everyone has both good and bad things inside themselves. Because, the society has many kinds of person so don’t except anybody to be perfect. Most of all, I think that your problem is about your attitude. You should open up your mind and accept this fact. However you probably change your attitude toward this.

>> grammar and language learning^^

If I were a teacher, I will assemble 4 grammar and language learning proceed together in my classroom. First, I will set the environment in classroom like the learning source such as plenty of word cards, exhibitions including the knowledge about culture study of target language. For my teaching, I will give various example sentences and let students conclude the rule of grammar that I teach. This way will encourage my students to think more and more. Then I will give my students to do a lot of practices by read many kinds of text and listen to the tape from English native speakers. Because of my students don’t have a chance to talk with the foreigner but that make my students are familiar with their pronunciation and know several of word. Besides, when my students make the mistakes occur, I will try to modify the mistakes that should make students are not feel guilty and shy to answer or speak in the next time. So, the students will have more confidence. Lastly, going to aboard is quite difficult to do in Thai society although it is the best way to learn the target language. So, I think the better way that’s more possible is invite the foreign people into our classroom that’s easy to do in the real life. This way make student familiar with foreign people pronunciation, dare to speak with foreign people and have more experience than teaching in the past that only focus on grammar and reading.

Letter to Auburn

Dear Auburn


Thanks for your trust to write to me. I knew about your problem and I think it’s not a big problem. I believe that every problem has the way to solve. For me, I think you should ask yourself before about this problem “Why did she do like this?” may be you spend her with your scant time, she has nothing to do, or she has nobody to talk with her so, she spend lots of her time with a computer. For my suggestion, you should talk to her, spend much more time for her and find some activities to let her do together such as going out to shopping, having dinner, or playing a sport together. That makes you and your mother are more closely. Besides, your mother will has a lot of thing to do instead of spending most of time with her computer. I hope my suggestion is useful for you.
