CALL Class Introductory

First Assignments

Hello there, I'm Mohd Ismail Azizi, you can call me aziziexe on blog. Am 23 years old this year. A boy who originated from where the 4th prime minister, "Mahathir bin Mohamad" was born, which is Alor Setar, Kedah. Lived my life as a kampung boy, happy to be one and enjoying each trip life has brought me to, and can't wait for what tomorrow's might bring. Oh yes, I love teaching. fell in love with this passion when I first started teaching some kids back in the days. The thing that attracted me to this is the smile of the students when they learn something from you. That can't be bough anywhere, and the feeling when you see the students smile is priceless.

To describe, I'm a computer user, a middle-ranged one, knowing a little bit of everything, a savvy user I guess.

Much of my skills is on software the most, hardware is just knowing the item, but can't really yet masters the criteria and description for each item. I know the parts, but it's performance and level of quality is out of my knowledge reach, for now. Software yes, I like to try different kind of software, let it be utilities, multimedia or even general working software, I like to search and investigate. Hands-on approach for me works best!

Yes, I've experience the process of learning via the computer back when I was in my secondary schooling years. There are a few teachers who brought us to the computer labs and showed us videos, let us discover how to google on the internet, as well as displaying interactive courseware in the teaching process.

i have incorporated usage of technology in my teaching practicum . it was because I wanted to show the students something different that the usual chalk and talk in class that they have been familiar with. I showed videos, and played a flash game with the students, all in order for them to view learning as not boring. It was a huge success. The use of technology certainly attracts the attention of the students as they like videos and games, so why not we teach them using the technology that we can access and they can have fun in learning. What I want to achieve is meaningful learning.

language teaching has certainly evolve in the past years. Teachers are not bound to only chalk and talk but they can access more on the internet for their students. let's do something different for a change, instead of learning, how about you students present to me what you can dig-up on the internet regarding some issues upon what we are learning now. This opportunity could be use to provide more space and a platform for the students to speak-up and voice-out what they knew and what they have found from their research.

My expectations from this course is that I hope to betterment myself in using technology for the purpose of education as well as see something new and discover what is ahead in the field of education and technology. Progress as an educator will never stop, using all there is in order to educate.

AE, wow, that is a big question mark. My title for AE is "THE CAUSE OF ANXIETY: WHAT IS THE MOST ANXIETY CAUSING SITUATION, IS IT EXAMINATION, COMMUNICATION OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ". the reason why I picked this topic is because I wanted to see what is the anxiety that the students face in learning English, as well as while learning English. We were all aware that at some point, anxiety do appear, but what could be the biggest trigger to the students that could evoke their anxiety the most. the results were closely relates as there were only minor differences in the data obtain, meaning that the students face all three anxiety day in and day out. Well, the progress is okay I guess, doing my data analysis, calculating what's necessary for me to complete chapter 4. Met my AE supervisor a few times, and she has shown me towards what to do and how to do my AE better. Truth is, at first, I did not get a clear picture yet for my AE, it took me a while to figure out my prospect and when I got the idea, I did it. My AE supervisor is Datin Siti Hawa. My plan is that I'll do this at a steady pace so that by the end of this month and so, I would have complete my AE and then I could submit it to be checked, I'm just afraid that I'll procrastinate and play around, forgetting my AE.
