Third Week (Teaching Week)

In teaching week, I got a lot of experience especially in how to face students with the huge amount (37-52 students in a class). Besides, I got regular class to teach which means there is no technology. So I had to think and be creative because it was quite different with International program in amount of the students and the stuff in the class. In the regular class, I used chalk not board marker and it was first my experience to teach using chalk. Therefore, to safe the time before the bell rang I must go to class and prepare the material that I had to write on the green board and ask one of the student to take the microphone since the amount of the students were much.

My First teaching topic was about “could you do me a favor?”. In this topic, I was focusing on how to teach students and make them able to provide request expression, provide offering expression and the respond (agreeing or rejecting). Since in this time I just focused to improve the speaking ability of the students. I asked them to come forward in pairs and did role play by remembering the conversation that already I give. I asked the other students to listen. After the pairs finished conversation, I corrected the pronunciation but most of them were well.

In my second teaching, the topic was about “Today’s News” and the focused material about past progressive tense. Since the focusing skill was writing of course I had to explain first about past progressive tense. After that, I give the students game to make students more active and did in group. The game called jumble sentence. I gave every the group opportunity to answer by writing it down on the board. They looked curious and gave effort to finish the jumble word because I gave limited time to finish it, also they could work in group. I also gave more attention to the students who look sleepy, play their mobile phone and talk with their friends by asking them to answer my question or come forward to write down the example relate to the material at that day. So, they would be more careful when I gave explanation.

My third teaching experience with the topic same as before “Today’s News” but I change the skill. The focusing skill was reading. This time, I used technology because I asked my mentor that I want to use technology to teach so the students will not bored and we had to move the other building that provide LCD projector. I gave the example of the news about earthquake in Indonesia. Then I asked them to read the text in the power point then I asked them what happen, when the thing happen, where the thing happen, who is related with the thing, why or how the thing happen. So, they knew when they read the news they have to know all of those things. After that, to check their knowledge about the hot news at that time. I provided Kahoot game and the question about news around the world. They were excited but the problem the signal was bad, then we got some problem but I could fixed it. Since the time of teaching in one meeting just 55 minutes I had to manage it properly. In the last, I really appreciate my students because they have big spirit to learn English and they respect to me as foreign student teacher.

Since the International Program class had to prepare Open House (consist of several competitions such as drama, dance, telling story, and singing) I had to help Mr. Bob to handle some students in practice telling story and dance.

In the day of dance competition, my friends and I saw the dance in the white building near the gate. I thought a lot of Thailand’s student interest in dance. They danced very well.

In the wekend of the third week, again A-jarn Kim and buddies took us to the others places. The name of the place was Sala Keoku. In this place, there was a lot of statue with different size and form (most of them are big and tall). Every statue had different name and uniqueness. People also could pray here.

The second place was Na Kha traditional textile market. This place was beside Mekong river. It means across of Mekong river I could see Laos but we did not go there. If we want to go we can cross the bridge and bring our paspor. In this market, there was a lot of Thailand craft, from small bag, clothe, t-shirt, and snack with affordable price.

The third place that we visit was Pho Cai temple. In this temple, we just go inside and take picture and then went out.

This video was the dance by International Program students (M2) in Open House.

Second Week (Assistant Week)

In assistant week, I tried to help Miss Fah by helping the students who did not understand or did not do what Miss Fah said. I came to the students and sometime several of them shy and curious or had initiative to ask me. There was a day, Miss Fah asked the students to make a sentence in a good grammar and told to me, if it was correct then they could finish the lesson and it made me surprise because they were so active. Also, I helped one of students who try to collect the homework of his friends and I helped Miss Fah for correcting the student’s homework then gave back to Miss Fah.

While in Mr. Bob class, he taught about weather and asked me to come forward and let students to ask anything about Indonesia. Students asked about several information about Indonesia and Bahasa Indonesia vocabularies such as bird = burung, Handsome = ganteng, and etc. They were attractive and interested with the chance. 

One day, in assistant week, Mr. Alex asked me to enter to his English class so that the students got new knowledge and feel how to face foreign teacher. At that time, I tried to give the students motivation to be more evidence in speaking English. I said “Do not be shy or think too much if you want to speak English just speak it out. Do not worry if you say wrong thing. Besides, I told them to use their mobile phone not only for game or social media but also for education, you can try to find the meaning of new word or read the news, so you will have and get more vocabulary and knowledge”. Because I was sure that the lack of the students to speak English did not only because of they were not confident but also the lack of vocabulary and knowledge. Therefore, I suggested to them to use their mobile phone effectively.

There was Open House activity in Udonpittayanukoon which followed by International Program class from M1 until M4. The agendas were drama, dance, singing, group band and story telling competition. In this picture, My friends (Jihad and Vel) and I become the adjudicator of singing competition. I was surprise that there were a lot of sudden sang very well. Their voice were gorgeous and the stage show was incredible.

The picture above was about the group band performance and we could see that there were a lot of audience saw it.

On 16^th January, it was Teacher’s day and it means the school activities were free. In Udonpittayanukoon, the teachers held party in Banchiang hotel near the school on 15^th January at 6 p.m. Udonpittayanukoon teachers not only invited us to come to the party but they lent us the traditional custom from the shop for seven of us. We took a lot of picture because there are a lot of teachers wore unique custom, we eat together with the teachers from International Program and we enjoyed the dance.

In 18^th January, it was anniversary of Udon Thani. In early morning, start from 6 a.m people already gathered along the way by wearing Udon Thani traditional custom. Orange was the color symbol of Udon Thani province. People brought flower and prayed together.

In the night of Udon Thani anniversary, there was fireworks in the Nong Prajak and the music show. The night was very excited and unforgettable.

On the Saturday of assistant week, UDRU lecturer (A-Jarn Kim) and buddies took us again to the some places for city tour. That time was special because we rode tram. Tram was the small and slowly train. There was a female guide who guide us about the place and the road we passed. The first place was Wat Phothisomphon or Phothisomphon Temple. This architecture of this temple was great especially in the inside. In the inside of the temple, several artist create the picture about the life of the Monk. Besides there was a lot of Buddha statues.

Next, the second place was Ban Chiang National Museum. This museum was an example of prehistoric culture and technology for centuries. We could see the  the artifact from several period (Bronze age and late neolithic). 

The last place was Thai-Chinese Cultural Center. In this place, we could see about the statue of Buddhist, how to pray, and also the instruments.
