#10: How would you like to be taught English? What is the role of the student-teacher? How could we make sure everyone is involved?

On March 9, we re-write a contents of commuity service. We focus on the student's site in duscussion. I thought how I would like to be taught English if I were student. I want to study the basic steady before starting the reading, speaking and writing. It is fact taht vocabulary is very important factor to study English, but I think that a thing which makes vocabularies become phrase is grammar. Our duty is to teach English basicaly to let our parents talk with teachers, not to teach difficult vocabularies. It is also a role of person teaching anything. Things we can do for our parents are to be earnestness for them, and not to let them hate English.

Blog #9: What we did today. What do you think about planning to teach a language lesson?

We discussed about “Teaching Plan” and “Language Lesson Plan” in Value Class on three March. We told about how we are going to teach English to Our parents. In especially, Teaching Plan’s contents are the way of teaching English and particular words. In the other hand, Language Lesson Plan’s contents are to choose language to learn and communicate, and preparations of lesson from beginning to end.

According to them, I thought a vocabulary list and a configuration of grammar are the important for this service learning. What is necessary to read the sentence? Sentence is made words, words are vocabulary. Sentence has a role, that role is the grammar. It is impossible to understand the meaning of sentence without them. Therefore, I think we have to teach side by side between the vocabulary list and the configuration of grammar for our parents.

#7 What happened in class today and what you think about

On February 19th, our group shared community service proposal with other group, then others gave as important information what we made mistake. Ms. Jo Anne gave us advice that we need to change the date. In fact that I will leave on march 13, therefore I cannot say strongly anything, Haruna decided to start our community service project on March 21 to May 2. ecently girls planned anything without discussion with men. When I was about to ask anything, they may say that men did not anything. I understand that we have problem which more dangerous than fault of community service because it cannot be success unless we cooperate. In last class I decided to make communication with them. And our goal is to let parents read and understand parent's association and student activity and event in English.

I participated community service activities on last Saturday. It was to treat Thai children who want to study English. I left from school at 10:15 am, so I could not do it for long time. But I saw that they satisfied to come school. I think it is good.
