It's a marketing strategy....
It involves teaching...
The students are of different competency....
In front of public place....
The audience is the diners.... ;-)
The topic was "Me"
The initial syllabus?
- Ice-breaking with a doll/ ball,
- Storytelling,
- Flash cards (nuclear family),
- Extended family,
- Family activities,
- Family members,
- Drawing students' family tree,
- Presentation of family tree by students,
- Occupation
- Occupation (exercise),
- Drawing family members and their occupation....
The final syllabus?
- No ice-breaking,
- Yes, there is storytelling (this is where the horror begins...). No body seems to know names of family members.... Not even 'father' or 'mother'..... ARRGH..!
- Flashcards (nuclear family) limited to only 'father', 'mother', 'sister', 'brother'...
- Drawing the family tree and presentation....
- Teaching in public place means paying attention to your students though many eyes are on you. Indifferent ducky alias 'cuek bebek'... :-D
- Expect the unexpected. Variations of language competence can make you desperate and impatient. Preparing plan A, B and/ or C probably is the best way to anticipate.
- Always bring extra paper with extra marker. They always come in handy when you suddenly have to change your lesson plan.
- Always involve games and as a marketing strategy, prepare a token for each student.
- Last but not least, like it or not, this type of learning is a promotion. The spectators expect to see result of the class. Make it observable. Besides, it gives a sense of achievement for the participant.
The moral of today's event?
- I learn a lot....
- Capek ... It seems I have to take another 'Antangin', just like last night....
