I actually survived the first three days of the course. It is heavy going.
The course on Curriculum Development by Dr Richards almost burst my brains. There is just so many terms and there is only a slight difference between one and the other. I try very hard to stay awake during his lecture.
For the PostGraduate Diploma In Applied Linguistics, I am supposed to take 4 Core Modules and 2 Electives. Core Modules are in layman terms- no choice have to do whether you like it or not. On the other hand, Electives are subjects that you have to make a choice. It is actually a 'guided dictatorship' kind of choice as there are only 3 choices. Most probably, I'll take the Use of Media in Language Teaching. I am torn between Language Testing and Research in Applied Linguistics. I am attending the Language Testing lesson later today. I actually like Research in Applied Linguistics.. however.... the lessons are conducted on every Friday afternoons! What a turn off!
I want my Fridays to be a day that I can look forward to, do my readings(bluff more of going shopping!)
I don't know what had happened to my blog. Yesterday, I did my tag-board and today I cannot read anything!
One hour to go before lunch time is over. The lunch time is so darn long that I can go to Paris and come back and still make it on time! In my 13 years of teaching, never did I have a 2-hour lunch!
I have to go now! Will see what I can do to 'repair the damage done on my blog'.
See you soon.
