Session 1 : Introduction (20 September 2011)

Session 1 is my first meeting with Principles of Effective Teaching and Assessment. That is a great meeting. The introduction makes me want to know more and more about the course.

The lecturer divides the class into 7 groups. This is a permanent group for one semester. After that, we talk about module assignment and assessment. That explained well one by one. The explanations are about assessment, description, type, percentage and due date. Then, more interesting part begins.

Two friends who sit next to me and I discuss about our motivation become a teacher, someone who inspires us become a teacher and our opinion about our self. That is a good discussion who leads me to think beyond about this program, educational English and teacher to be. Then, time to group discussion.

Group of four is my group. We discuss about an ideal or an effective teaching and teacher base on our point of view. We write down our ideas on a paper. Not only that, we also do gallery walk to read another groups ideas.
