Running head: REFLECTIVEReflective WritingName of the StudentName of the UniversityAuthor’s Note
1REFLECTIVEI implemented my semester learning in the activity and tried a different approach inintroducing grammar to the student. I chose indirect method for teaching through variousclassroom activities. The students were not informed about the learning they were receiving. Theprocess that I chose to provide teaching on grammar were writing examples in the board, took avideo sessions and finally took a reading session. The video and the reading were inter-relatedand used the same tense. It was to get the students accustomed with the proper grammar. While using the based approach, instead of focusing on the structure, I worked on thefunction of the learning process. However, I set a proper language structure for the task. Iprovided those well structured questions and guidelines for answering the questions to thestudents that they need to follow. The topic that I chose for them was to the various methods ofsaving water. The student had to research to find through the resources available to them andprovide their understanding in a compact answer format on the topic. They also had to find theconsequences of water wastage and prescribe the efficient methods of utilizing water whilereducing the wastage. They had to communicate the procedure to their classmates in the gropuconversation session. This curriculum will make the student actively participate in their daily lifeactivities in order to come up with the answers. The learners are asked to follow the structureprovided to them and answer the questions in present simple tense. The real life communicationtechnique that I followed for the teaching process was proposed by Krashen (1985, cited inTerrell, 1991). I agree with Krashen’s thought and believe that this is an effective way ofteaching grammar to the student in order to build their basic conception. Furthermore, Krashenstated the limitations of explicit teaching that limits the course in writing or preparing speech.The real world communication method helps the student to exploit the usefulness of daily lifeconversation. This style of teaching is my favorite as it goes beyond the formal learning and
2REFLECTIVEmakes it enjoyable for them. It is because the process of learning does not involve only readingor learning and the students learn most of the things unintentionally. Another benefit of thisprocess comes from the involvement of culture which is an integral part of language. Thisprocess will help the students gathering more knowledge and ready for their future life.The content of the assignment 2a was the indirect application of grammar. I used thesame structure for my activity and provided the structure to the student. The students followedthe same structure for the completion of their academic work. As I mentioned earlier, thisparticular activity is my favorite because of its consideration of grammar and structure foracademic context and develops students’ skills. Usefulness of these skills goes beyond theacademic boundaries as the students can apply them on their social life. It enables the students torefer literature or use it for referencing anything they like in their life. However, it is limited dueto its isolative nature and the students have to struggle synthesizing their learning (Christison &Murray, 2014).The Assignment 2b was Humanistic approach that was negotiated by the students. Student’spsychological dimensions and intellectual abilities were developed through this assignment. The students had to use my structure in the Genre Approach directly to pattern myexamples to initiate conversations in the group.The examples in indirect implication of grammar point were academic andcontextualized. My goal of this activity was to introduce the students to the simple present tense.I addressed the issues of the process that are schematic structured conversations, ignorance ofcontent and placing emphasis on features of the genre. These plays important role in distractingstudents and restrict them from discovering the actual message of the text and neglects other
