Time passed so fast and this was the third week for my Developing Resources for ESL lesson. In this lesson, our respective lecturer had divided all of us into groups. Each group consisted of six people. A task was assigned to each group that was all the members in a group had to read and understand the content of the assigned title. Then, we had to prepare a power point to present our content and comprehension towards the title within an hour. I think setting a duration of time to complete the task was a brilliant idea from our lecturer. Thus, three members were assigned to identify the main ideas whereas the other three members had to search for relevant readings to support the main ideas of the title. This eventually instilled the cooperation among everyone in the group.
Besides, Pn. Foziah who encouraged us to find relevant information from the internet had widen our opportunity in exploring the website. This had emphasized us on the learner-centric method rather than teacher-centered. This reminded me to inculcate a lesson that gave chances to pupils in discussing and exploring a topic by using internet in the future. Through this, pupils could develop their critical thinking and organization skills while preparing the power point too.
Furthermore, through this lesson, each group was given a chance to present their work in front of the class. Besides, each group had received some interesting comments and thoughtful suggestions from our lecturer. For example, Pn. Foziah had reminded all the groups to insert the “URL” on the power point if they quoted any information from the internet. She also suggested that short but precise characteristics of the games such as “Charade” and “Guessing games” should be included as well. In my opinion, I think “URL” should be included while I was preparing my power point in my future teaching because pupils could easily refer to it if they wanted to do further readings.
Apart from that, the presentation brought mutual benefits to each group because we were able to learn and share ideas in creating and organizing a systematic power point from the other groups. For instance, group 1 had done an excellent job that was including a “Youtube” video on how the children grasped the language. This gave a better understanding to all of us as video can easily attract everyone’s attention and explain hidden abstract ideas. Meanwhile, group 2 had included lots of colourful images on the presentation. Based on the video and colourful pictures, it reminded me that these two main elements must be included in my power point in future teaching so that I could easily gain attention from pupils.
Lastly, I realized that I should maximize my exploration on the available resources in the internet such as videos and images in order to create a well defined, compact and organized power point presentation in my future teaching.
