Salam and hello everyone…
Training sessions were the part when we got to experience the
game of our choosing to be tested by ourselves. There several things that we could
consider to be the things that we learn throughout the sessions.
First of all, we all learn that teaching the English language
should never be done through lecture alone. We learn that even through the simplicity
of playing certain games, language learning could still take place.
Second, we also learn to think on our feet. In real
situations, things could change in a matter of seconds. As a good teacher and
facilitator, we need to be able to think fast and make the right decisions in
the shortest possible time.
Thirdly, time management is the most important thing when we
do a game session or even teaching. This is to prevent drag time and prevent
time wastage in class. Efficient facilitators always keep a good track of time
when a game session is conducted.
All in all, training session taught us a lot. The statements
above are some of the outcomes that we got. But the true number of outcomes are
endless if you ask me. It is up to us to take whichever how we see fit.

I really agree with you on the three points that you have pointed out. Learning through games are more interesting instead of the traditional way of learning in class. As a teacher, we should also manage to come out with a second plan just in case if something happened out of the plan.
Hello Syafiq @ Skem,
I agree with you as you have mentioned that we as teachers or facilitators need to adapt and think quick to help the students to play and understand the game or lesson better. It is undeniable that theoretical games are not enough, we need to practice and match our students' needs to have a good lesson. I still remember how you help Fad for her games. Thank you to you and your teammates too for the great lesson.
