Assalamualaikum...
After troubling all the people around me (Zarim, Mr. Ghazali, Banchee, Mone and etc) and sweating all over, I was finally signed in. What a mess! May be I was not born to work with something related to computer and technology. So thank you for everyone and sorry too. :)
What do I expect from language camp? There will be a long list for that. As the coming language camp is not new to me since I've already join it for three times already, I think that language camp will do me a lot. Of course I would like this coming Language camp to give what it fails to give me before or rather to supplement what I already have.
I really hope that langauge camp will help me first and foremost to improve my English as I am going to be an English teacher. Eventhough I am in TESL course I wasn't like all my collegues, my English is not up to their level. So I need a platform for me to find a way to upgrade myself just like a computer. Then, I hope that this language camp will put instill a feel of confindence in myself to face students and may be other teachers and people. I want to be seen as someone who has an outstanding personal and public relation skill, just know how to talk and when to stop. So may be through this camp, I shall be exposed to the things since I will be dealing with a few lecturers (may be), teachers, headmaster, students and even my own classmates.
After that I do hope that it will give me some exposure on how to handle a camp, especially language camp, so that may be I could implement it at my school some time in the future. And also to introduce me to the world of students and teachers, learning and teaching and school!!! .
I also expect that it will give me some tips for me to face the real world of teaching. We will have children as our participants so may be I can use them as some kind of sample to have me teaching them English through games (What am I talking about, hope you guys do understand). To know a lot of ways of teaching English so that my English class would not be so gloom and doom (Hope so). There is a lot of ways to teach English, we are not going to teach using traditional way anymore in this virtual world, students may be bored and will lose their interest to learn. So languge camp may offer me a variety of ways to make learning English fun and enjoyable.
ANd my last wish is that it will be like we plan and may I have all the things that I wish from it. It's a good activity and i think I am very very lucky to be a part of it before. Now, I am offering myself again to do it, may it be better and may it give benefits to all. It 's kind of expensive experience to me and I appreciate it and learn a lot from it.
Hope to learn more from this coming language camp. Adios...

Question : What do you expect to gain from the language camp? ( at least 100 words )
Answer :
Hmmm I think that this language camp is gonna be a reflection of the cooperation and effort put in by the whole class. I mean, the mixture of ideas and creativity that blends together is just going to make this an awesome camp. Basically, we all expect to gain some experience from this camp as we will be handling and planning and carrying it out. So that would give us a rough idea, if not a thorough one, about how a language camp functions or works. Maybe we might bang heads on certain issues, or maybe when we cannot reach a certain decision. It wont be easy, I'm not saying that, but i believe all of us will be matured enough to handle it and deal with it in a matured way :) That in itself is a lesson to, and experience. :) What else? Hmmmm... I would expect gain of knowledge too, I mean, since this is a language camp, i guess i can polish up my language :) There's always room for improvement that's what my dad always says. He also says that life is a journey of knowledge, that learning is a never dying phenomenon, and i agree with him. That's why I expect to learn new things about the language from this camp, no matter in which area. :) Besides that, I would expect LOTS OF FUN!!!! I mean, language IS fun, and if a camp isnt fun, what kinda camp is that? concentration camp? And besides, we are gonna be having lots of games and challenges and i really think this camp is going to be very enjoyable :) Wooo Hoooooooo!!!!!!!!

Gosh...i never really have any close encounter with children, maybe the are too mischevious i guess. Well, this will be best time for me to get in touch with them. In this camp, i wish to see more students enjoying themselves while learning at the same time. Children learn best through playing, according to some child education expertise. and i believe this is the best time in implementing a new language learning stratergies. At the same time, this camp may also encourage and motivate more passive (due to shyness...) children in learning language in a memorable, fun and interesting ways. Children are expected to carry out their own responsibilities in the tasks assigned to them through the camp's activities.
hmm...the coming language camp will the first one in my whole life of 21 years. what are my expectations? first of all, i pray for patience success in preparing for this camp and i hope i will not end up straggling mischevious and stubborn students. on the other hand, as a future teacher, i certainly hope to come out with more interesting and educational games for students. as little patience as i have, i do want to be a good teacher. it is through this camp, i hope to learn from my peers' teachings and experiences in order to better myself. i also wish that students will be cooperative and will take english as something more than a boring subject. i guess it;s up to us now to change their mindset on this notion.
My roomate did this language camp thing last semester so i had a second hand experience of what it felt like being involoved in the preparation for a camp.
A language camp is basically a place for kids to get together and improve their English while having lots of fun. This will be what we are aiming and working towards while preparing the camp.
I foresee that a stack of duties and tasks will be waiting to be performed in preparing for this project. I expect evreyone to be involved and the responsibilities divided fairly and equally among everyone. I think a strong relationship will have to be built among one another in order to make this camp a success.
A majority of us have no experience in planning a camp like this, but nonetheless, TESLians are known to perform miracles and with the guidance of En. Ghazali, i am sure it will turn out all rite.
I expect to gain a lot from this camp. the first and most important thing would be the experience of handling and managing a large group of students. The next thing, is to learn what sort of games should be prepared for a specific group of children.
I hope i will learn more about working in a large group for it is seldom we get an oppurtunity to work in a group of 20 ppl or so. Besides that, time management would come in handy as many of us are very much tied up with our PSM.
I think i will find out that i have learnt and experienced more than i can start to fathom now after the camp.
hopefully, things will turn out ok, and everyone would have had fun.
Most of all, i hope the children would have benefitted by the end of the camp, and would view the English Language from a more positive point of view.
