Sabtu, 10 Desember 2011 Sharing Knowledge as A Teacher Diposting oleh an.pane di 18.16

“Why don’t you just apply and work here as our teacher, ms.?
That was the expression from the students when I said that it was the last day I came to that class as their teacher. I just laughed because I did not know what to do and what to say. Fortunately, I could make the situation more relaxed by chatting and having discussion with them about anything. Setting a free-time class that day was very advantageous to end my teaching practice in the school.

During the discussion, some of them said that they wanted me to teach them about writing in English. They wanted to improve their skill in that area. Some of them showed the anxious expression. It seemed like they had a problem with it. I knew that I did not have more time to share the knowledge about it. So, I decided to ask each of them to write their email address. I said that I would try to help them by sending any articles, e-books, or any materials related to writing skill. Their expression changed then. They smiled and wrote the address quickly on the paper I had provided.

I felt that two weeks were too short for me to be with them. Nevertheless, I realized that being with them does not always mean accompanying or teaching them directly in class. I can still be their friend and teacher by helping them outside the class. I hope I can search for and send the effective materials to them. I can motivate them to keep learning and believing that they can learn English for all aspects and skills easily.
