devising resources for teaching the four language skills




Another task to be done… Devising Resources for Teaching the Four Language Skills. I chose Reading skill. This task actually brings back the memory lane at IPIK. During Year 2, during semester 1 we took speaking and listening while during semester 2 we took reading and writing skills course. It was quite same as our lecturers there also encouraged integrating ICT in our lesson. It just different in the sense that during those times, we still allowed to use traditional method and lecturers also combine both materials, traditional and technology based materials. But now, our concentration is basically on integrating internet skills, photo editing, video editing and audio editing. For me, both are very important as I can learn two things for the same topic. It means when I am going to teach later, I know the various sources of materials can be used to assist my lesson. In fact, this 4 skills task actually the application of all the skills that have been learnt from the beginning of this semester. It just that we have to be more focused on to teach specific skills.
I was not facing any major problem during the completion of this task. I really use at the fullest all the skill I know. For instance, photo editing, audio editing and e-book. Frankly speaking, I can feel the difference when completing the tasks given by my lecturer. At the beginning of the semester, I really got headache learning all the internet skills as I was not techno literate. But now, I can use most of the learnt skills even I still face problems some time. But then, I am grateful as my friends all not reluctant to share what they know. It was a good experience. But, I can’t deny that each time learning new things, I have to struggle as I am too slow learning in this area.huhu...
