I'm sure that, more than 90% of students in this university know how to use computer for studying and search. Also, I'm sure that, more than 80% of students in this university don't know how to use internet for teaching English-except popular software such as Power Point or MS word.
From this class I could learn that how to use internet for teaching English. For example, 'Web quest' is the one of the best way. Web quest let student search the internet to find what the topic request and have them think and consider. In other words, it teach students how to study in a passive way.
Like this, I have learned many knowledge of course in this class and another unexpected profit is the experience of real university class. As we Korean know, we had studied for 6 years like a dog-wake up 6am, go to school, academy and go to bed at 2 or 3am- and only one way to learn in high/middle school was :keep noting everything what teacher saying". When I graduated high school, I thought "Finally every boring class is over!". However, in university, I am do studying just like that. The teaching method of many professor is same as high school teacher and that is why we are shy to ask something and not used to give our opinion. We have never exposured like that feed back situation.
Fortunately, this class gave me a chance to talk to everyone, give my opinion, share information with my colleagues. I was too glad to just take this class. There wasn't crazy non-feedback noting. Yes! this is the class what I expect for 6 years.
I am not that smart person. I have needed more time to understand to study than my friends. So, I usually felt shame, annoyed about myself and complained my brain.
These silly mind let me give up studying, sometimes I didn't even try.
Because "I didn't study. It's boring." sounds cooler than "I can't understand. would you help me please?" for me.
However, we know, it is the easiest and fastest way to screwed my future up.
So, I admitted my ability and filled the gap up with effort. I spent a lot of time to study until made them mine. I was studying harder than anyone and still now.
As a result, I usually don't forget what I have learned before and could get confidence.
These are my weak point and strong point.
One day, When I am going to be a teacher, I may need more time to ready or learn to teach my students. However, I am sure that, you will consider my class worth enough the wait!
I've been thinking that you are the smart student. and understand well about what you have learned in the class. so I envy you. And I totally agree with your opinion and this class is the most exciting class I've ever had... (it has a little bit of joke haha) anyway it's very nice to read about your writings :D
ReplyDeleteWow, I really appreciate that.
DeleteIts really big compliment.

Hey Jayla, it seems that you don't know yourself well... You have been the first one who understand what the teacher is saying about and always ask some meaningful questions! I bet you're enough smart, really...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am surprised that you have a similar opinion to mine! Webquest is a great project, isn't it? You need some efforts and I need to get confidence... yes we are friends...XD kkk

ReplyDeleteWell well, I don't remember when you expressed your opinion actually.
DeleteI think you don't have to be afraid or shy to ask something u know!
Let me hear your voice my mate :)
and thanks your comment~
I think it's fairly standard that most Korean learners consider themselves average or below. You're doing a great job in this class and I hope that you are learning something that will help you if and when you become a teacher. The use of technology is not only good for teaching languages, but can be involved in teaching nearly all subjects. I'm also glad to see that everyone is using feedback. It's more advantageous to express and receive feedback in a comfortable environment. Thanks for your reflection.
