Role in language
teaching: i am
an english teacher in
here. in my office,
called English Language
Centre, i also play a
role as a teaching
coordinator. by joining
with this POOLS team, i
hope to not only improve
my teaching skills, but
i can get to share a lot
of experience with other
professionals. at the
moment, because i live
in Indonesia, and i am
looking forward any
opportunity to travel
and maybe look for more
experience overseas...i
am trying to develop
some programs for
improving the quality of
teaching, such as
designing a more
interactive teaching
materials, exercise
papers, and even video
learning..so i believe
that this website will
give me a lot of
benefits and most of
all, inspire all of
us...thanx
General
description:
like i said before, i'm
now developing ideas for
teaching...i wish to
provide more valuable
and attractive teaching
materials that can be
suitable for all
learners....even less
boring than having to
read a textbook or just
talking to the
instructor (which means
i will need more
multimedia files)
i am thinking about :
1. making a lot of
competition in the class
so that the students
will be motivated to do
more...with rewards for
the best performance of
course..
2. working a video
learning based system.
in here i am trying to
gather more short video
clips that will make the
even more interactive
learning process goes
unique. the students can
even be more eager to
learn by seeing the
original native speakers
sharing some stories or
giving exercises about
any kind of topic but
via videoclips. all the
instructor has to do in
the class is to guide
the learners to move one
step forward.
--why this way ? because
i live in a country in
asia continent. and most
people need a model who
they can learn from..not
that the asian ourselves
cannot provide them with
qualified teaching..but
the main point is they
need someone who is more
of the origin of the
language that they are
about to learn from...
Suggested area for

themselves.
