Stupid People with Stupid Statements

-

For God sake, I damn hate IPDA. Today as usual there was a meeting about BIG and TESL Final Gathering.

Nothing was good but the worst is about the money which I have to spend on both events which are RM50 for BIG and RM40 for the gathering. As I have to pay for the stupid BIG, I cant afford to pay the gathering thus I decide on not going. Yes. I am not going because my family and I are having terrible financial crisis.

Inconsiderate TESLians said something such as:
'Takkan xde duit kot. Elaun semua org dapat sama kot'
'Kat sini ada anti-social ke?!'

Stupid people make stupid statements. Let me explain my situation to lucky TESLians who have lots of money to spend.

My family is having financial crisis for more than a year now. We take out a lot of our saving to support our family expenses. I spend my allowance for my family and use my saving to support my expenses. Futher, I use my allowance to pay for my conference fees in which I think are far more important than a gathering. More, for you, RM40 ringgit for dinner is nothing but in my situation, it is a lot. After all, there's no use explaining my situation to those who do not have enough ability to think about others.

Now, saya dianiaya thus can I pray to God that one day you be in my shoe and experience what I experience?

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 failur...

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.
