TESL IN UNISZA : TEACHING PRACTICUM

Assalamualaikum wbt and hi!

Sorry dah lama sangat tak update sebab I busy ada life haha . I got a lot of dm-s in Ig and Twitter (LIKE REALLY A LOT) regarding to TESL, that means my blog give benefits to other la kan? Alhamdulillah hehe. Terima kasih sudi baca and really sorry kalau ada yang tak terbalas dm or komen.

I'm so happy for those yang dapat sambung and for those yang tak dapat, don't worry, Allah has a better plan for you :)

Fyi, I already finished my diploma at UNISZA, and I also already finished my teaching practicum. So today I will tell you about my teaching practicum and what I'm doing right now. So here we go bebe:)

LANGUAGE CAMP

Oh before I forgot, our sixth semester begin with a language camp. The camp was held about 2 weeks I guess, sorry I forgot. The camp was a collaboration with Prince Songkhla University, Thailand. So a few students dorang ada join kita. All activities and games were carry out in the group and THE CAMP WAS SO FUN. Boleh kata camp ni macam release stress sebelum practical la haha.

Ni antara aktiviti time LC

SK TELUK KETAPANG

So after camp terus sambung dgn praktikal. My group ada 3 org. I, Bobbie and Amalin. Actually before going for teaching practicum(TP) , kitorang boleh pilih group members and boleh pilih sekolah. Tapi lecturers akan finalized kan berdasarkan tempat kita menetap(maybe) so jeng jeng jeng we got SK TELUK KETAPANG.

At first, macam macam kitorang dengar benda buruk pasal sekolah ni. Budak nakal sgt la, BI teruk la and so on. So  I was a little bit down but life must go on, right? Benda aku paling risau ialah takut budak yang buli aku huhu sebab aku ni kecik je.

On first day kemain awal datang, Sebelum pukul 7 dah terpacak kat sekolah fuhhh. First impression tu penting k. Orang first kami jumpa ialah PKP, Cg Ghazali sbb guru besar busy. First jumpa PKP  kitorang terus cabar kitorang untuk ubah persepsi orang terhadap student UNISZA. Because most of the time, IPG students were much more better than us. Then jumpa our lovely supervisors, Kak Lyn and Kak Na. Benda pertama kena buat on first day ialah salam dgn cikgu2 , kalau boleh semua cikgu hahaha. Senyum and act friendly. Dorang ni la akan tolong kita selama 3 bulan (atau pun kita yg tolong dorang HAHAHAHA).

CHALLENGES

I got 4 Haitami and 3 Ghazali. 4 Haitami is the third class and 3 Ghazali is the second one. First day you buat garang pun kadang2 dorang ni tak layan pun haha. Kelas 4 Haitami tu tiap kali nak masuk kelas mesti berdebar sampai sakit perut pastu setiapkali keluar kelas mesti nak nangis. Rasa give up pun ada. Baru second week kot. Oh before that kitorang kena ada PBS (Pentaksiran berasaskan sekolah). Students 4 Haitami ni ada yg nak belajar,ada yg macam tak berminat. Memang kena selalu fikir aktiviti yang boleh tarik minat diorang. Memang banyak habis duit kat AVA and worksheet je huhu. Kadang2 time observation je I ajar ikut topik, time yang lain pun ikut topik tapi banyak ajar basic balik, contohnya cara buat ayat and so on.

Geram sbb time ni kamera kotor habis praktikal baru perasan huhu

For 3 Ghazali, I dont have any problems but some of them are a little bit annoying duh. But its okay I only gonna be with them for 3 months haha.

3 AlGhazali

Other challenges are budak anggap you macam kawan sbb kecik. Kena ejek sebab spek besar,sebab pakai braces and guess what, kena ejek sebab warna kulit HAHAHAHA. I'm not shock at all although that was my first time kena. Tapi pelakunya sorang je, budak darjah satu kot.....what do you expect. Kalau tu adik aku dah lama kot makan penampor tapi tu anak orang haha. So what I do? I call him and look in his eyes gittuw and told him, " tak baik panggil teacher macam tu.kalau orang panggil awak macam tu awak marah tak?" Then lepas tu dia rasa bersalaah kot then dia mintak maaf. Lepastu dia dah tak panggil gitu dah haha. Kena profesional k. 

WHERE I GOT IDEAS FOR AVA AND WORKSHEET?

Ok first of all, untuk yang taktahu, AVA tu bahan bantu mengajar. Kita ajar based on textbook. Biasa discuss la dengan cg sebelum tu nak ambik tajuk apa. Tapi kalau rasa budak takleh go sangat kena ambik jugak satu hari ajar benda basic macam cara buat ayat haha. Biasa idea banyak ambik kat facebook. Pegi la follow teacher dilla and ada lagi yang lain.

okay I dah list kan link so you just click je k. Dorang ni banyak share ideas and semua best2 so banyak ambik idea dorang la hehe. Thankyouuuu . Hari hari yang korang rasa lecturer tak datang observe tu you pinjam je AVA kawan2. Share duit and buat sama2, lagi jimat. I banyak guna lagu. Nyanyi sendiri k hahaha. Students enjoy je tapi taktahu la kot saje buat buat enjoy haha.

SO APA PLAN LEPAS NI?

So sekarang dah habis praktikal and mereput kat rumah. I do apply for degree TESL kat UPM and UKM tapi setakat ni takde panggilan interview ke apa ke haha. Ada a few juniors cakap, macam menyesal sambung diploma tesl unisza ni sbb seniors ada yang mereput dulu setahun and so on. Dik, belajar je dulu k. Kalau rezeki awak dapat sambung awal, syukur la. Kalau tak dapat lagi, boleh kerja dulu and so on. Lain la kalau sebelum masuk unisza awak dapat offer yang lagi better kan huhu. So doakan lah saya dpt sambung degree TESL jugak k, tak kisah la tahun ni ke bila haha. Now, I'm doing tutor for primary school so sape nak suruh ajar adik ke sedara ke aanak ke roger je okayyy, harga kasih sayang gittuwww.

In conclusion, teaching practicum ni best sebenarnya, tambah2 bila nak habis tu budak budak nangis siap bagi hadiah hahaha gurau. Btw I didn't get A for teaching practicum tapi takpelah asalkan kita ikhlas mengajar, bukan sebab observation semata. To juniors, good luck! 

Thats all from me, ada apa2 nak tanya just drop your komen okayyy but don't expect fast reply haha. Ok goodnight!
