Week 4 : Studying inside the classroom.

Teaching speaking  &  Teaching  with  technology.

                               This  week  is  a  week  of  group  presentation.  After  we  all  have  the  assignment  from  our  teacher.  It's  time  to  present.  This  is  the  information  that  I  catch  up  from  my  friend's  presentation  for  two  group.

                               Teaching  speaking,  first  let's  talk  about  this  topic ""What  is  speaking ?"  These  are  different  meaning  of  speaking  but  let  me  tell  you  in  an  easy  way.  Speaking  skill  is  language  acquisition  and  enables  learners  in  spoken  communication.  That's  right  the  key-word  of  this  topic  is "communication!".  The  more  you  learn  speaking  skill well  ,  the  more  you  communication  well.  There  was  one  thing  you  have  to  be  aware  of  the  differences  between  second  language  and  foreign  language. There  are  many  techniques  and  tasks  for  example  information  gap,  jigsaw  activities, building  the  speaking  habit,  the  hot  seat,  interview  the  picture  and  turning  on  the  inner  voice.  Don't  forget  to  try  one  to  help  your students  to  be  improve.  Next,  Teaching  with  technology,  in  this  age  of  21  century,  the  age  of  technology  is  more  information.  So,  teaching  with  technology  is  more  important  for  students  and  also  for  teachers.By  the  way  this  age  of  21  century  ,  you  can  get  into  any  information  so  fast  and  easily. Then  you  have  to  move  on  and  follow.  Because  it  can  be  changed  everyday.  Maybe  today  the  black board  is  important  but  in  the  next  few  months.  It  doesn't  so,  you  have  to  be  an  active  teacher  and  also  left  your  old  habits  behinds.

                               These  are  two  things that  important  for  all  English  teacher  to  know.  

Week 3 : Studying outside the classroom.

Vision  of  the  Blind.

  

                    Today  I  have  a  chance  to  read  The  Bangkok  Post.  One of  the  headlines  that  make  me  wonder  is  "Vision  of  the  blind".  After  I've  seen  this  headline,  I  have  a  question  in  my  head  instantly,  "Vision"  and  "Blind"  how  could  it  be ?  So,  I  started  to  read  the  details.  Then,  I  have  the  answer.

                    Surprisingly,  this  news  happened  in  Thailand.  Today  the  school  for  blind  have  a  project  named  "Pict4all" , the  project  that  based  on  the  humanity .  Although  these  blind  kids  are  handicap, They  still  make  their  own  vision. The  main  Idea  of  this  project  is  to  question  the  arbitrary  limits  society  places  on  the  disabled  regarding  what  they  can  or  can't  do,  and  empowering  the  disabled  in  that  process.  The  project  has  been  working  with  blind  since  the  end  of  the  year  2010.  Now,  You  wouldn't  believe  that  most  of  blind  kids  get  happier  and  be  able  to  take  their  own  photo  with  in  hour  and  a  half  to  learn. Such  a  good  things.

                    To  sum  up a  project  teaching  blind  students  to  take  pictures  shows  that  vision  can  come  from  other  places  apart  from  the  eye.

Week 3 : Studying outside the classroom.

The most exciting Sci-fi movie ever !

                            When  we  talk  about  the  most  exciting  Sci-fi  movie,  what's  the name of the movie  that  appear  in your head.  I  believe  that  "Transformers" is  one  of  many  people  options.  By  the  way for  those  who  have waited  for the episode 4  of  transformers so  long, the  wait  is over now. Let  me  tell  you  the  information  about  the  Transformers 4.

                            Four  years  after  the  mayhem  in  Dark  of  the  moon,  the  robots  return  for  more.  After  Chicago  was  squashed,  Optimus  Prime  has  gone  into  hiding,  but  an  auto  machine  and  his  daughter  discover  the  wise  automation  and  reactivate  him.  Meanwhile,  a  businessman  is  trying  to  tap  into  the  potential  of  the  extraterrestrial  robots  and  exploit  their  technology  for  his  selfish  gains.  Expect  a  lot  of  destruction.  

                             Not  yet,  these  are  just  a  little  pieces  of  the  exciting  things  and  fun. If  you  want  to  know  more, don't  forget  to  go  to  see  the  "Transformers  4 :  Age  of  extinction" .  I  hope  you  all  will  get  the  highest  degrees  of  the  power  of  the  sci-fi  movie from  the  "Transformers  4".
