Purposes of Practicum
Purposes of Practicum
A SEA- Teacher program aimed at teacher students to exchange cultural and educational knowledge. After I got it, I felt this program was very useful to me. I learned to work in various fields, writing lesson plans and working concepts, and language development. Since accommodation is a home for exchange students, that help me to improve my skill.
Procedures of practicum
I participated in SEA Teacher program for four weeks. First week, I used it to do adaptation to Philippines’ environment and met my cooperating teacher to discuss about the lesson plan and observetion. The second week I have already done observations even there’s a lot of events that have declared by the UNP, such as field trip, Opening and Closing Ceremony. For the third week, I have begun to develop lesson plans and discuss them with my cooperating teachers. And last week I do my final demonstration.
Outcomes of Practicum
I'm very happy to be able to participate in this program because it helped me develop a lot and I fell in love with the Philippines more than ever. When I tried living here, people were very kind and the city was very beautiful, and it was important to see the part where I had to develop and fix it.
The challenges of practicum
The first thing I worried after knowing that I had joined this program was language. Although I majored in English, most of the time in Thailand I didn't use English much, so I was very worried. But when I got here, what I was worried about wasn't as scary as I thought. I used it often, though right or wrong, but I'm not afraid to say it anymore. That's something I'd like to thank the project for for choosing me, or I wouldn't be able to overcome my own great fear.
Overall Impression
I'm so happy to be able to participate in such a good program. Thanks to myself for making such a decision and thank my parents who trusted me to meet the world, thanks to my friends and teachers at UPN who took good care of me and helped me. So many things are happened in here. And I want to keep having good projects like this to continue, a lot of things happening in my life, and that's a very valuable memory for me. I'm glad to be part of everyone's memory, and everyone is part of my very good memory.
Overall Impression
Hopefully in the future there will be more students from Thailand joining this project.
