Day 4

On Tuesday, 31st January, 2017

Today is a nice day!

I learned about ESL and EFL topics through presentation of group work in the class.

ESL is  English as a Second Language. Most of countries that use ESL, they colonized of the United Kingdom or the United Stated: such as; Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and etc. Both of teacher and student speak English in the class.

For the EFL, EFL is English as a Foreign Language. Both of teacher and student speak native language. In addition, students don't have opportunity to use English in their daily life, so it makes them aren't quite confident to speak English and they worry about grammar very much when they speak English. Most of these countries use English because they want to improve their countries and learn about science, technology, trade, and etc. These countries are China, Egypt, Thailand, and etc.

Teacher who teach English, he/she can adapt game/activity to teach students to improve students' skills such as; speaking (teacher can use role play in classroom.)

And the last, I learned about 21st Century Learning: Pedagogy Perspectives. In the present, many things change and develop better, so in 21st century people must have many skills; such as knowledge in economics, history, arts, math, science, world language, geographic, government & civics, and English, reading or language arts. They are who live on world, both we and people around the world.

We should have life skill and ethic to live on the world happily and improve our country better.


Today, I got a lot of knowledge and it makes me aware to be good person and want to improve many skill that weak. It may use a lot of time and quite hard but these skills will make me have more knowledge, live happily, help other people, and be a good person in the future.

Thanks Teacher Very Much!!

Day 12

18 April, 2017 Today I learned about "The end of CLT: a context approach to language teaching by Stephen Bax". CLT is Communicative Language Teaching. CLT focused on communication but not for context. So An approach that argued CLT is Context approach. There were many reasons showed that we don't need CLT such as; In Czech Republic, Holland, and Taiwan, teacher didn't use CLT but their students could speak English very well. Today I enjoyed about the lesson and discussion in the class. I thought I understood this class well. Thank you!!

Day 6

Tuesday Again!!! 14th February, 2017 This morning, class had many activities. They were good. First, teacher let Satit and Maturin told about their experience from exchanged students to training teaching of another countries. They had good experience, although they met some problems like weather or food. For the weather, it was cold but they could stand until the last day. Satit went to Indonesia. He met good friends and they help him in some events. In addition, He met the challenges for teaching mix students from many countries. I thought it was very challenge and interesting too. For Maturin, she met good friends that they were Thai people too. They helped together. In teaching, she didn't have lesson plan but she tried and could pass it. Both them were good and attention in their duty. After that we read the sample classroom. It was about differences of teaching and learning English in the classroom of Malaysia, Mozambique, and China. An English lesson in Malaysia, ...

Day 9

21 March, 2017 Today I learned about the Effect of New Technologies on English by David Crystal.  He talked about the Effect of New Technologies on English such as; CMC (computer mediated communication), 2.0 (twitter), WWW., hypermedia. The new technologies actually enhance the English language,they facilitate new pursuits by developing a new style of the English language.  Twitter is not asking us about ourselves anymore, it is more in third person, therefore asking use what is going on around us.  How the Internet help teaching English?  > Weblogs enhancing EFL students > chatting with friends in real life in English > write diary > make you think in different way English is spread worldwide and most of technology and internet has English as written on various pages. So Internet has many benefits to teach English. Thanks!!
