Today is actually a good day. Did not have to attend class in the morning.
I only had Language Testing. I actually like the subject however,..... there
is a slight problem with the lecturer. His name is Dr Chan... he would enter the
class start the lesson by going round the class asking questions about the previous
day or week's lesson. Attending his class is a real torture. You have to stay focussed
for three hours! Even computers cannot do that. The moment you relax, he will
bombard you with questions that you are so unfamiliar with. It is such a drag to
attend his class.
When I reflect on the way I treat my pupils... I don't remember employing
such a strategy to make sure that my pupils learn. I believe that the pupils should
learn the subject for the love of the subject and not, I repeat, not because he / she
will be constantly tested. The students will live in constant fear. When will I be asked
and insulted.
I look forward to tomorrow though... I have Use of Media in the teaching of English.
Dr Hayo Reinders is a nice person. He doesn't threatened but engaged us. I guess that is
the difference between a local (Malaysian lecturer) and lecturer from the Europe and
America.
Till then... Chiao!
