 I think, the most applicable topic we've covered for my language learning and teaching will be MOTIVATION. There are some reasons to support my thinking. Firstly, most of human beings are living on highly motivations. If we do not have any reasons for living in universe, then there's no reason for living. In addition to humans are created by finding motivations through their whole lives and humans are the motivators themselves. During an adolescent period,  they look for first motivation as I put it that way. It must be  difficult to interest in other language but if I can find for them, their motivation will be equally apply to their likes or favourites. Then, that will brings up higher productivity in their works. Even though, they only care about the grades, I can use most of it in order to they find English easy or choose English for future relevant  jobs. To take a very simple case, when I was 12 years old, unfamiliar subject was rejected by me, I really hated that subject but the teacher gave me a courage and started to little compliment to me even though I was not good at it. Then I started to have interests and work hard with good results from the subject. Finally, I became a honor of that subject in our class, I was very pleased with it. When I help the motive of my students action then I would be more happier then ever.

 As soon as I become a English teacher in near future, I can not wait to use learning styles to my future students! To know my students little bit better, In my first day of class, I would like to use the Myers-Brigg test. The reason is that students will find out quite interesting to know what's their preferences and personalities types. My obligation towards to my students is to have fun in my class and get credits of it. According to Tesia Marshik statement, there are no certain right learning styles in order to learn effectively. I might agree with what she said but I am not going to use just one fixed learning style to one student. As we all know, we all have different intelligences so I would rather use all varieties of 9 learning styles to develop students’ intelligences. Personally, I do not think that we do have fixed personalities, especially for young learners. Therefore, my teaching curriculum will be use kinesthetic style by studying movements or using origami and for some week after, I probably use verbal-linguistic by sing English songs or role plays to develop their language skills and interests in language. The reason why I have these plans so far; I have not had many teaching experiences but when I was teaching reading to 11 years old student, I used only a lecture style like a boring block style of teaching,That ended up the elementary poor student found out boring of my teaching and her mother told and asked me to change something in her tutoring. I had to worked out and finding out new teaching styles and thinking over and over that how could I teach her in enjoyable study? Luckily, I had to get some advices from my English teacher. When we were reading a book, we listened to related song to our book and little bit of talking about the book. Also we played game with new vocabularies to memorize herself. Finally, She had interest in my teaching and liked to read English book. I could see her improvement and I was very happy about that.

but why I do have MY BLOG?

WELL,at first, In 2014 my English Class,

I had to create my own blog to do assignments.

I found myself to have interests posting my thinking

and sharing new information to other bloggers. 

 When I started to study and work on English Education at BUFS, 

I started to think and made up my mind that I want to be a English Teacher,

So! mostly, I am going to post lots of English teaching methods and share with

people who need. ALSO, some tips and advice through my teaching diary and sharing QnA with English teachers.

And maybe, I would post some my interests on my blog as well.

Week#4 discussion about Motivation

WHEN I read this question 'WHEN DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE doing your thing'
I had to think harder then I thought. I fully do not know me or true me, and thinking,,, what are things that I can do or feel comfortable on doing it??

Since I came to university,, maybe if i put up my excuses,,, )) I really reckon that I had no chance or time to spend my times,, Had to go back my past or bring back my friends sayings about me what I can better than others. Make all things up and it went mostly arts or musics or making plans/ arrangements. I really miss my piano which my adorable mother gave it to my cousin. it was reaally pissed me off but I handled it now.

Mostly very important thing is BURNOUT as teacher..
if I could be a teacher, I really need to handle well on massive stresses or decreasing motivations.
These days, we may all know that teachers not intend to hurt students or quit this job , it is all matter on burnout... I reallllllly realllllly hope that I can handle my feelings. Don't want to became ashes..

"Can you be a good parent?"

“Do you think you can be good parents without any knowledge?” I strongly think that most people could not answer this question with confidence. A majority of people may see online, parents ask basic knowledge about their children. For that reason, a parental education class should be legally required because it gives right knowledge of child caring, helps married couples relationship and reduces child abuse.

 

First of all, we often could hear about children’s tragic accidents caused by parents’ lack of childcare knowledge these days on the News such as ‘Mother killed baby for her reckless child care skills’. For example, I watched a TV show called “Oh My Baby”. A father with three years old baby girl grabbed her feet and held her upside down and started to shake her. After a doctor watched and warned the father not to ever do it again in order to protect her fragile toddler brain.

Secondly, when two different people start to live together, they may well have arguments between each other. In addition, It is very different roles between couples and wife or husband. When they become parents, they considerably would take more responsibilities in order to lead a family. For those reasons, parents will have a lot of stresses and different opinions. So that couples' misunderstandings are piled up. Moreover, they have no idea to how to solve relationship between them to start over and understanding each other. That could end up to divorced and become single parents.

Lastly, according to Ministry of Health and Welfare, 80 percent of  child abusers are parents.

Most parents do not intend to hurt their children. They may simply not have known how to care of their own children. Nevertheless, if parents attend the parental training, they would learn how to love their children and to communicate with them. On the other hand, if parents could not aware of their roles then they would easily end up child abuse. If the violence intensity persists, children would be scarred by unforgettable emotional heart wounds.

To sum up, if we would not take a good education on parenting or whatsoever, we could not be aware of danger signals by our children. Anyone who has irreplaceable sons and daughters or begins to have own family as couples,  should need to know how to care of children right-mindedly, overcome a marital discord and do not cause irreversible damage to the relationship between you and your children.
