Samples of reading lesson plan and vocabulary activities

Dear friends,

I have uploaded the presentations for all to view. The credit belongs to those who were involved in developing the slides. Thank you for your hard work.






Reflection...

An anonymous:

" I have learn to get to know my new friends/teachers. They were friendly and helpful through the slot KNOWING YOU KNOWING ME. I have bought a new laptop of my own. I could learn the settings from my students. They are more computer literate than their teacher. I have to learn to be expertise in using the hardware and the software from my new laptop ACER 4740 model. I learn to get more language input from the Internet and not rely on my textbook and workbooks..."

TEACHERS ALWAYS GO ALL OUT....even at the extend of buying new laptop!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL TEACHERS of the 3rd batch!

Problems? We got a lot....

Problems....

Nobody can run from it. Therefore...we have to face it.

Our friends identified some of the problems they encounter in their reading classroom.

1. Limited vocabulary
2. Pronunciation problems
3. Lack of interest in reading
4. Lack of prior knowledge
5. Poor reading aloud skills


Hashimi found his student tendency to find meaning for every word they come across. He developed a technique which is very interesting...

consider this..

what do you think it meant?

do you need to understand every word for the message to be conveyed?

:-D

Presentation time!

Our MBI friends are going to showcase their vocabulary activities based on the GO this morning. I hope to receive emails on the materials so that I can post it here for others to view.

Let see what happen.

Good Luck!

Padilah and friends are the last one to present... :-P

We think our friends did a great job by presenting with the slides although we have limitations...

cooperation is the key to success...

Hello to our new friends...

It is nice to be back for MBI course and meet new friends. Yesterday was a great and productive day for our new friends.

They agreed on David Wilkins idea "Without grammar very little things can be conveyed, without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed".

Some of the ideas...

Welcoming new friends to MBI course!


Salam and Hello,

We had fun with the first batch of the course. We learnt a lot from each other and we shared ideas on topics presented in the module as well as exchanging valuable tips on teaching and learning approaches in class. Thanks a lot and we hope to see you again some other time. We miss you already!

As for now, we are excited to welcome our new friends on Monday!
