As we already introduce ourselves and are getting familiar
with the websites and blogs that we will use in our course, our lessons actually
start in week II now. In Week II, we have to read, think and imagine.
Three Main Tasks this week are
1.
Web Searching
2.
ABCD objectives Model and
3.
Describe a Class
In No.1 Task Web searching, we have to post about the
advantages and disadvantages of Search Engines. In order to post this, we have
to read the instruction carefully, explore different search engines and find
out what are advantages and disadvantages. By doing this, I got a chance to
know SE what I did not use before.
No.2 Task ABCD objectives Model is very new task for me. I had
never heard and learned it before. But it is really nice task and teaches me
that whatever we do we should have objective. ABCD means Audience-Behavior-Condition-Degree.
We have to write only a single sentence that encompasses ABCD style.
No.3 Task Describe a Class is a main project for this
course. Start from week 2, we have to shape our class up to end of the course.
We create our class with the learners, setting, course goals and the reason why
the students are learning English. And then Issue or problem to be addressed that technology can help with.
Now you see the different tasks of Week II, right? I
am doing the best as far as I can. I hope you can catch up what I explain but I
am sorry if you do not understand because the course is very new and strange for
me. Anyway, this is very nice to learn not only from the course but also from
other teachers.
Dear Jessica,
ReplyDeleteGreat work! Thank you for sharing your reflection on what you have experienced. I agree with you that the 2nd week is the actual start for us as teachers since it dealt deeply on writing our objectives using the most effective style "ABCD" method and our students, their setting and the technology we can access to.
There are much to learn waiting for us. Thus, I wish you a great online learning journey.
Regards,
Iman
