1. Assalamualaikum and hai! My name is Syamimi binti Saiful Anwar. You can call me Mimi. I'm from Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor. My previous school was MRSM Kuala Kubu Bharu. I have four siblings, and I'm the second child in my family. I love to watch movies and listen to music.
2. I think I can rate myself as a computer savvy. I do know the basic computer skills like how to use the Microsoft (word, powerpoint, excel, publisher, etc) to do work and also the tips and tricks, and using the Internet (search engines) to help me find everything I need. I'm able to use whatever that are installed in my laptop so I think no problem with it.
3. Microsoft Office, IBM SPSS, Antivirus, i-Tunes, computer drivers, OS, internet browser, media players (windows, VLC, KMPlayer, GOM), windows movie maker, Adobe, Dropbox, CD, DVD, hard disk, cpu, etc.
4. I have experienced learning via the computer using i-Learn in student portal (online learning). We need to post any topic regarding the subject in the class group. From there, we get to interact with each other and give our own opinion. It's a good way of learning because even though we cannot see each other face to face, we can still discuss and learn. Another benefit of online learning is that we can always refer back all of the posts there.
5. Unfortunately I did not get the chance to use technology in my lessons during the teaching practicum since the classroom has no projector or computer. In order to do so I will have to take my students to Bilik APD which is far from the class and that will take me some time because my school is quite big. Time constraint was one of the reasons I did not get to incorporate the use of technology in my classroom.
6. In my opinion the use of computer/technology in language teaching is important since nowadays we live in the world where everything uses technology. Students nowadays spend more time using the technology and you can just search for anything in the Internet. Everything you want to know is at the end of your fingertip. Also, it will save you a lot of time and make your life easier.
7. My expectations from this course are that I will be able to learn more about the use of technological aids and later use the knowledge to help me in my teaching and make learning more interactive and interesting. I really hope when I get to be an educator later on, I am able to apply what I have learned in my teaching so that my students will enjoy the lesson.
8. The topic chosen for my Academic Exercise (AE) is Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) Trainee Teacher's Motivational Strategies in English Second Language (ESL) Classroom. My supervisor is Puan Melissa Malik. The reason why I choose this topic is mainly because we have just finished our practicum and I really would like to know how my friends motive their students to learn, to enjoy learning the language, and the motivational strategies that they used in their classroom. I have already started doing my AE during our break until now, and alhamdulillah so far everything is going well as what I have planned. I plan to constantly do my AE so that I can get my work done before we sit for our finals and I do hope that I can graduate on time. InsyaAllah.
