Four Skills

Greetings..


I have totally forgotten to reflect about the assignmnets on the four skills that we had done. the assignmnets which were actually quite hectic and strssfull (due to the load and criteria that have to be achieved), had actualy became an eye-opener to me that not all teaching materials need ot be technology. It was very hard for me ( i am not sure how others feel) to think about good teaching materials that can integrate technology. This is because the lesson plan is only a half an hour lesson plan (except for writing of course). in half an hour, thinking of setting up the laptop, Lcd, projectors, smartboard had actually give me an idea of thre goes half an hour burned just to set up those things. I didn't mean to say that it is not good to integrate technology as it is actually fun and interesting to use the technology. i believe personally that integrating technology will actually stimulate the interest of the pupils towards the learning of the day. However, i do think that the traditional will be more practical due to the time consume. we can still make use of paper, pencils, newspaper, brochure, magazines and so on to make the pupils drawn to the teaching and learning. it depends on how we manipulate those interesting resources. it does not only save time but it appeals to the daily life approach as well.
Thus, i tried my best to integrate both technology and non-technology resources in my four lesson plans of different skills. i do hope that those lesson plans will be very useful for those who would like to use it for their teaching practice. i really do hope to get back the lesson plan so that i can try it out in schools later when i go for teaching practice in order to access which is more efficient... hope you guys try yours as well..(no point you put so much effort PLANNING how to do a lesson plan but NOT CARRYING it out) Good Luck!!
