FARIZUL AKMAL BIN MUSTAZAR(PEH080012)-Week Number 1


In the first day in PBEY3102 Using and Developing Resources for the ESL Classroom, I found out that the class was really crowded as all 77 of us were packed into the same class in the same session.

As a result, the computers were not enough and some of us had to go to another laboratory to take some chairs. As the class began, Puan Foziah Mahmood introduced herself as our lecturer for this subject. The class should begin at 10 o’clock and finish at 1 pm. However, as Puan Foziah felt quite exhausted and maybe felt the class was quite disorganized and incomprehensive, she decided to stop the class earlier than what it supposed to be. We dismissed after that but there were still several issues to be settled as instructed by Puan Foziah. For instance, all of us had to choose which day we want to enter the class and register it to Haiqal, so the number of students in the class for each session would be more manageable thus creating a more comfortable and comprehensive learning environment.

Besides, we had also asked to prepare a passport-sized picture of ourselves.

Other issues that we should settle and have throughout the year during the course are:
i-BLOG:update and post entries every week reporting on what I've learned and experienced;

ii-8G PENDRIVE:store things that we are going to use for this course;

iii-ADOBE CS3 PHOTOSHOP:it will be useful for me because I'm going to edit lots of pictures in this course

In conclusion, eventhough in my first day in class I was not learning a lot, I found out that this class could be really challenging as well as interesting because I am going to learn developing teaching aids for my pupils. Teaching aids are very important in teaching and learning process especially nowadays because by integrating it with technology, the aids would be more colourful, neater and practical which lead to a very fun and comprehensive learning.
