Eye opener…14 August 2008

Today’s class was an interesting class as Dr. Edwin relates to us the situation in our Malaysian classroom as all of us are going to go out to do our practical. He explains on how to deal with such situation in school. In today’s lesson, he taught us on autobiography of Mandela. It was interesting as he explained to us the significant of the clothes. How they are ranked according to clothes. He also taught us how we could use autobiography as a lesson in class. We could actually use our past leader’s autobiography to teach our students on nationhood. This will actually help students to have love and appreciation for the country. Besides that he also told us that speech also could be used as material in classroom. Using speech such as Tunku Abdul Rahman’s speech during declaration of independence is a good material to teach students. it could help them realize the vision that Tunku had for the country and this will help them to appreciate the nation.

Overall today’s class was a really an eye opener for me as I got a lot of information for my teaching practical as to handling class and students with various attitudes. Besides that, I gain a lot of good ideas on how to use good material which not only could teach them a good lesson of English but also build they virtues.
