Today's class was so interesting. Ma'am fauziah had sown us several videos on Chun and Ella. Honestly, I never seen that clip video. Ma'am Fauziah had introduced me to these video clips on Vhun and Ella. I've found that the video was so interesting and Ma'am's story about Chun and Ella 'forbidden love' triggered my interest.... I've searching for the video in you tube and found one....hu3,,just want to share with all of you..:P

Thanks to Ma;am for this precous knowledge....
can't wait for the next class....

Week 8thhh

for this week, we were to send our tasks on audio editing, photo editing, e-book and also tutorials for each of the task. we were given some times to settle down and finish up our tasks. The tasks were so useful to us since we can use the tasks especially the tutorials as our guidance. if we do not remember the steps on how to edit audio, photo or creating an e-book, we can refer to the tutorials that we did for the tasks.

then, we were assigned to discuss several topics in our group and we have to the the power point presentations and present it to the whole class. we need to upload and share the power point presentation in windows live. this will give us the opportunity to upload the other groups' information through windowslive with ease. it will save lots of time and energy since we do not have to see and meet the other group just to exchange the information. after discussing and preparing the power point presentation, we need to present it to the class and further explain about the topic assigned to us. the topics assigned to us were really important since the topics will be included in the final exams. thus, we need to pay attention and focus on the topic assigned more and we can use the power point presentation files as the references when we want to revise the topic.



for me, this sharing of information between each other will be a very good way of learning since we can add more information and knowledge from the others. our ideas will expand and enhance and we can also helps our friends in understanding the topics.

after discussing and preparing the slides presentation, we were allowed to go back..

Week seventhedio~~

week 7
For this 7th week class, Pn. Foziah had presented her lecture on the topic 'audio editing'. this topic actually had trigered my ineterst since I did not really know how to edit any audio with the right and accurate way.

Listening to Pn. Foziah's lecture on this topic had openned my mind on how to use this audio as one of the resources for my teaching aids in class. for example I can edit and use the audio such as songs or poem recital by using cd player in order to teach pronunciations to the students. this will ensure the accurate and right pronunciation input since I can use audio that provide the right and accurate pronunciations as examples and models for my students. I can replay the audio until the students are able to follow the pronunciations modelled by the audio. this will save my voice and energy during the teaching lesson. I can also provide cds that consist of the audio for the students to bring it back to their home as their references. they can play the audio at their house and they will be able to practice pronuncing the words taught in the cd's.



Furthermore, I will be able to use this audio things to attract the students attentions since it will bring differences in the teaching methods. As we all know, the primary students will be attracted to a lively and interesting audio such as songs.Thus, using the audio editing, I can edit or remix any songs that I want and prepare the audio for my class. I can combine lots of song in one CD and I will be able to use the songs throughout the teaching and learning sessions.

Hopefully, with the knowledge of editing audios, I will be able to edit and cretae lots of interesting audios that can be used for my teaching and learning sessions in the future...

Week sixtedidio~~

Week 6
Its already week 6!! I never realized it..seriously... and now, Im enjoying my time at my kampung in Kelantan... I really2 miss my kampung so much.....and of course my beloved family...Actually, i almost forgot to update my 6th week entry..hu3..maybe , Im too excited being in my kampung with my family. But...as Pn. Foziah said...works are works..and I need to do this works...hu3...yeah,,,so..back to work...

For the 6th week class, Pn. Foziah showed us several e-books from the previous cohort. I never knew that we can create and do our own e-book by only using the power point. i thought we need to have certain softwares in order to do the e-book. This e-book was so interesting since it can be one of the teaching aids that can be used in the classroom. it would be very interesting and it can attract the students attention. It is because, by using the power point, I will be able to includes lots of colourful and interesting pictures as well as sounds that will grab the students' interest. plus, this e-book is easy to be done. We do not need to draw or paste any pictures. We only need to find the suitable pictures on the internet and include it in the e-book. as simple as that.



So, in the future, i will most probably choose this e-book as one of my teaching aids in the classroom. This will also enhace my teaching skills and help me in improving and varies the teaching techniques that I used in the class.

Pn.Foziah had asked us to do and create one e-book. I already done the story board for my e-book and luckily, Pn.Foziah had approved it. Im looking forward to do my e-book. I think I should be searching for the materials of my e-book now... i need to submit it on time.... I'll update when i finish doing it...thats all for now..bye...=)

week 5

photo editing! love it! i did my own photo. It really made me looking back into my past. Few years back I was so into software, C++,Visual Basic,Photoshop,Paint Shop Pro (Jasc), Java, and lots of other stuff. Well, my skills in photoshop had deteriorate vastly.....this might be the best time to get back to it...hahaha.....

so this is the original picture



and this is the final product.

3rd Class report :)

during the 3rd class, my group and i had presented on the topic " children's capacity for indirect learning" on powerpoint. Here's the slides.

english in japan.....they call it "dasaku"...

when we say idol, they must be the example to the fans, and in this case in japan, the fans treat their idol as god, but hey, they can be the god to the fans in the sense of entertainment, but not english yeah....here's some example, taken from ayaka surprise english lesson on momosu (morning mosume) members, they are kawaii btw...





TAEGLISH ANYONE?

combination of taekwondo with english, nice i think....and it looks pretty good too, and it sounds with krashen theory, the Affective Filter hypothesis, embodies Krashen's view that a number of 'affective variables' play a facilitative, but non-causal, role in second language acquisition. These variables include: motivation, self-confidence and anxiety. Krashen claims that learners with high motivation, self-confidence, a good self-image, and a low level of anxiety are better equipped for success in second language acquisition. Low motivation, low self-esteem, and debilitating anxiety can combine to 'raise' the affective filter and form a 'mental block' that prevents comprehensible input from being used for acquisition. In other words, when the filter is 'up' it impedes language acquisition. On the other hand, positive affect is necessary, but not sufficient on its own, for acquisition to take place. But it can be contrast, the taekwondo can actually become the "filter" as the students become anxious, perhaps scared? or...malas?
