Experience 4

Hello everyone,

          This week is the same as the other weeks. Teaching is quite interesting as every time I step into the school ground, students will greet me, "Good morning, teacher", "Assalamualaikum, teacher" or "Selamat sejahtera, teacher". I found these actions as very heartwarming and this culture among the students is one of the motivator that always motivate me to continue teaching and increase my passion to become a teacher. These innocent and pure students need to be taught in order to prepare them before they face the challenges in the real world.

         In addition, becoming a teacher is the perfect platform to harness the talents of the students. This is because I believe most of the students have their own hidden talent and what can a teacher do is to develop and instill their talents to higher level, not only teaching them in class about the compulsory things. Self-development of the students is necessary to promote a better future for them.

           Talking about my teaching experience for this week, I discover another problem during my teaching practicum in this school. This problem by my students is quite annoying for me. During the English time which is during my class, there are some students who do works for the other subjects. While I'm teaching in front, they naturally do Mathematics and Science works in front of me and daringly ignore my teaching. 

            From what I can see, they might have no interest in learning English and didn't pay attention in English class. As the result, they didn't write or finish the notes and works that I gave them. This problem is very disturbing as the students will miss my lesson just because they did other subject's works in my classes. To solve this problem, what I usually do is I will ask them questions that are related to what I'm teaching in front and they are not allowed to sit before they answer my questions correctly. This method will cause the students to stop doing other works during my class and pay attention to my teaching.
