Purposes of Practicum
Purposes of Practicum
SEA-Teacher is a program to aim to develop teachers in Southeast Asia. After I participated in this program, I felt challenge myself from this program and it helped me to understand in differences about teaching among various countries ,terms of culture, teaching methods, and students in different context and culture. I hope i can apply the valuable lessons I gained from this program to my own teaching in future.
Procedures of practicum
I joined in SEA Teacher program for four weeks or 1 mount. First week, I used it to do adaptation to Philippines’ environment. However, the first week, a typhoon affected the area and school and university were cancel also the postponement of the welcome ceremony. For the second week, University opened and we had welcome ceremony, got schedule for class observation. In the third week, I have begun to observed classand made lesson plans and last week I did my final demonstration and traveled at famous spotd of the Philippines.
Outcomes of Practicum
I'm very glad to participate in this program because it give me many experiences and improve my teaching skill. I met a lot of nice people who are very kind and help me a lot. About my demonstrate teaching went really well than I expected. I’m truly grateful to my mentor teacher, my filipino friends and my Thai friends, who guided and supported me through everything. I learned so many useful teaching techniques from them—many of which I still use to this day.
The challenges of practicum
At first, I was worried about my language because I afraid students will not understand when I teach with English and when i arrived due to the typhoon, the school was temporarily closed and our places a little bit far from eac others so we didn't see our professor since first day. This made us a bit anxious about staying on our own. However, after getting through the first day, things gradually got better. It truly allowed me to see the differences in teaching and learning between countries.
Overall Impression
I'm so happy to be able to participate in such a good program. Thanks to myself for making this a decision and trusted yourself to meet the world, thanks to my friends and teachers at T.I.P. who took good care of me and gave me new experience. I gained so much confidence in using English, as well as valuable teaching techniques and communication skills with students. I hope good projects like this can continue in future. I'm glad to be part of everyone's memory, and thank you everyone to be a part of my memory.
