Let me start with the class that is given to me to handle.
Hallelujah most of them have very strong basic in English; I hope I won’t face
any problems during observation (which is
on Tuesday, OH EM GEE!!!). However, yes, there are things that I am not
satisfied with; they are very, I mean VERY, very noisy. Everyday feels like
running 800 metres trying to control them. Once they become so engrossed with
the activity, they started making noise, shouting to each other trying to complete
the worksheet. I am still trying to figure out why do they have to shout. And
then I shout too, in the end it becomes havoc. I tried ‘blackmailing’ them with
the REWARD system, but they do not really care. Gosh! My classroom control is
still very-very bad.
Then, lesson planning. Thinking and planning could take a week, figuratively. Moreover,
I realized that my pupils have different proficiency level, so, I have to
prepare different task for every level of proficiency, to ensure learning is
happening in the classroom. It’s a lot of work.
Third, money. Seriously, I spent a lot of money on teaching aids (Note this, note this!! To those who ALWAYS complaint about teachers). Nampak tak pengorbanan I?? Hahaha. And actually I have to restrain my food intake hahaha…But, it’s worth it when they understand the lesson! So far, listening and speaking skill is the hardest skill to teach. Why? Please refer paragraph 2. TT.TT
But I like teaching. It’s actually fun, though really tiring. And
scary at the same time, because you are responsible for somebody’s future! I
still prefer studying and do my assignments over teaching. Hahaha..
3 more weeks!
