First Week

-
Finally, I am done with my first week of my practical. How was it? I think it was hectic. I started teaching on the second day of my practical and I was damn busy since then. 

My students? They are lovely little bunch. Most of them are boys and they are a little bit playful in the classrooms but lucky me that they do listen and do their work. I am impressed with some of my students' work. I expect their handwriting to be next to worst but theirs are next to wonderful. Gulp! Girls? In total (I teach two Form 5 classes) there are approximately 10 of them. Yes, they are the minority but they always get things right. 

I can bet that many would be pleased if they are given the chance to teach this wonderful group of students. I  am really pleased with the fact that I am fated to teach them but the fact that I am never good in English depressed me. They deserve to be taught by a better practical teacher. One who can use English fluently and accurately. Poor them to have me.

The look in their eyes informs me how motivated they are to learn from me but I cant do much. I cant taught them to be excellent speakers of English because I am not an excellent speaker. What I can do is to help them to help themselves. All of them have potential to shine. They just need another step ahead and I believe that my role is to help them to take another step ahead.

Maybe I am too early to love them but I cant help but find them lovely. I promise to myself that I'll work on my English, study hard and do my best to help them. 

I was once a student and the feeling of not knowing which step to take next was damn frustrating.

Parking Lot

Parking Lot has been considered as one of the best practices in the 21st century classrooms besides the famous group seating arrangement. In Malaysian public schools especially in Sekolah Amanah, it is a mandatory  to prepare a space or an area in the class to put up a Parking Lot. Per contra , to date, teachers are having a lack of proper guidance on the use of Parking Lot as a consequence of  the non-existence of a blueprint or a printed guide from any Malaysian education departments on this practice . Worst, the knowledge of Parking Lot is succinctly dismantle to teachers while they are having courses on 21st century classroom or learning, during Professional Learning Communities (PLC) sessions or during department meetings. It is through these short sessions or meet-ups that Malaysian teachers are made aware of the benefits of Parking Lot. Even the practice could benefit both teacher and students, the lack of understanding on the practice  results failure in its execu

Use Malay (L1) instead of English (L2) in English Lessons?

The debate on the use of L1 in L2 lessons has been going on since forever. Different scholars come out with different theories and hypotheses yet no one theory or hypothesis has become the most significant. After all, it all depends on the teaching context. The use of L1 has always been a contentious issue. Teachers have choices whether to: ban L1; minimise L1; or maximise L2. Again, it all depends on the context the teachers are in. It is best to also mention that even so, teachers who resort to the L1, despite their best intentions, often feel guilty for straying from L2 path (Cook, 2001). However now, let's not talk about teacher's use of L1.  Let's look at student's use of L1 in L2 lessons.  Should we ban the use of L1 among students in L2 lessons? If not, why are there a lot of suggestions given to cut or limit the use of L1 in L2 lessons? I remember when I once made it a rule that students should only talk to me

Nadia Anjuman

What should I do with a broken wing Which does not let me fly? I have been silent too long, But I never forget the melody. Since every moment I whisper, The song from my heart. Reminding myself of the day, I will break free of this cage. By from this solitude, And sing with abandon. I am not a weak tree, To be shaken by any wind. I am an Afghan woman, It only makes sense to cry. Nadia Anjuman was a talented Afghani poet who was beaten to death by her husband at the age of 25.  Al-Fatihah.
