Reflection of class

Last week I was busy with so many activities. For my Syllabus design and material development course we have done needs analysis survey and focus group discussion on undergraduate students. When we were doing survey as well as FGD, the students were in a hurry because it was 5 pm and they were tired but they helped us so much and gave us their valuable time.  Here I want to mention another person’s name, it was one of our teacher from BIL, who helped us so much that without his help it was so difficult for us to do this survey and FGD. Now we are going to find out their needs on English language course and preparing report on this survey and FGD in a group. My group members are so helpful and enthusiast, for this it makes easy and it improves our team spirit.

Now I am going to state another course, it is teaching practicum 1 course. For this course I observed three classes in BRAC University. Three classes covered three different perspectives; one class was on writing topic sentence that means after this class the students will be able to write topic sentence, the second class was for fresher’s, who doesn't take part in the 1^st semester for undergrad yet and this class is called pre-university class, it’s a non-credit semester for the students who are little bit week in English. After the successful complete of this semester the students will get chance to get admission in the university. And the last but not the least class was on listening and speaking. By this class observation I learned so many new techniques to handle the students and how to overcome from some critical event in the class. Each teacher had their different teaching methods and techniques and it will be helpful for me, when I will take any language class.

Another course I want to discuss, it is Introduction of linguistics, and from this class I learned so many things. As because I am from non English background means I did Masters in political science so it is interesting for me when I got to know about different sounds of vowels and constants. In my entire education life I know that there are five vowels and twenty one consonants. But in this course I come to know the different sounds of vowel and consonant. To make this course easy and understandable to us, our course teacher is using practical example and it grows my interest on this course. Now let’s see how the whole things go on.
