This course will help upgrade my abilities as a teacher coach. It covers aspects such as the skills to develop as a trainer, using competency framework as PD, and transitioning the role from teacher to teacher leader. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">The course takes on Project-Based Learning as by the end of the course we are expected to <span style="background-color: white;">simulate an online professional development panel discussion. To prepare us for this, we will engage in academic reading, blog writing, and presentations. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">Prior to the beginning of the course, our trainer reaches out to us via email. We were asked to complete a pre-class blog post telling our classmates about ourselves. I found this activity served as mental preparation because it is important to know who you will be interacting and cooperating with. These people our should I say now, are my friends who as nervous and excited as I am. Nonetheless, they are highly qualified in their field. It is a diverse group with people from primary, secondary, tertiary and even education offices like me. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Let's talk about what I learned. For the first class, we were assigned 6 reading materials! Haha, here we focus on the adult learning principle, Kolb's and Salmon 5-stage model. The online class was productive and we had so much fun. I didn't even realise the time! During the 3-hour class, we came to understand the characteristics of an effective trainer and our trainer modelled it for us to experience it first hand! I believe in my online training, I never encounter such competency. I aspire to emulate my trainer. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">Well, after the class the workload were not easy, haha rather challenging. We need to respond to questions and I'm sharing my responses here, so that I can recall what I wrote when the LMS is not accessible to me anymore. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgomBywzB4hl1HBk9MU21Cim1Wd4h0j5ozGkvzhGeUsKn1ba2hPpBMMYDV6ulm0-GlkwW_Kb90EamZJJNpYXz-Yho4MjpywCkw4zXplc3fDj0Ui8QJFkdJpYepEhPWyjCPPo_iusfkaC1n-/s1080/There+are+two+tasks+for+this+week%25E2%2580%2599s+blog+1.+Read+Chapters+1%252C+2+and+3+of+the+guidebook+Professional+Development+for+Language+Teachers+From+Teacher+to+Trainer.+Don%2527t+worry+-+the+chapters+are+very+short+and+it%2527s+in+A5+f.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgomBywzB4hl1HBk9MU21Cim1Wd4h0j5ozGkvzhGeUsKn1ba2hPpBMMYDV6ulm0-GlkwW_Kb90EamZJJNpYXz-Yho4MjpywCkw4zXplc3fDj0Ui8QJFkdJpYepEhPWyjCPPo_iusfkaC1n-/w400-h400/There+are+two+tasks+for+this+week%25E2%2580%2599s+blog+1.+Read+Chapters+1%252C+2+and+3+of+the+guidebook+Professional+Development+for+Language+Teachers+From+Teacher+to+Trainer.+Don%2527t+worry+-+the+chapters+are+very+short+and+it%2527s+in+A5+f.png" width="400" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

Perky Piung Words Adventure took that opportunities to launch a series of vocabulary challenges to learners of the English Language.<br />
<br />
These challenges were presented on Google Forms. The platform was chosen due to its familiarity among users. Furthermore, it has add-ons that enable special features to be used in rewarding learners and data manipulation. I find the platform easy to use and hassle-free.<br />
<br />
Here are the challenges that have been presented to the learners since April. Click on the thumbnail, to direct you to the specific challenge. There will be additions so do come back and check out often for new challenges!<br />
<br />
Oh! All of these challenges do give away certificates to learners as proof of their achievements! Yay!<br />

We don’t know what the future is for us but what we can do is to imagine. Here, I have compiled some of my dreams and imaginations. Some of them are weird and wild while some are plain boring. For context’s sake, I will be 35 and I assume something weird has happened to the world. E.g. the Third World War, economic collapse, and everything are messed up. Without further ado here’s number one:</span></div>

A collapsing world economy is a suitable political climate for revolution as seen before in the Russian, French and Italian revolutions, yes the revolutions are totally in different eras but what drove them were declining economies of the respective countries. Some countries whose economies rely on export or import will be affected the most. Back to my main point, that revolution is inevitable in some countries.</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I imagine myself as a political author who will be writing theses on resurrecting the idea that true communism may be achieved </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">today because of the technological advance in comparison to a hundred years ago.</span></span></div>

Yes, voluntarily. Some say this is stupid, but who cares about capitalists right? Even if I become a doctor, I will also still be a political author. I think the author's bit is inevitable. Do you expect an essay from me without mentioning politics, even a bit? Anyways without the author's part, this job will be loved by the proletariat because of free healthcare. I think governments of the world should make healthcare free or I will make it free.</span></div>

Quote “everything is messed up.” makes this plausible because why not? I absolutely love making content on Youtube but no one is going to watch them. You know when something weird already happened when you see my channel is getting a lot of subscribers. It’s weird alright but this is how my brain works, mate. Imaginations are wilder than a wild lion doing weird stuff such as acting like a cat.</span></div>

My imaginations are very wild and it's like, you ask one question and I will answer with another. This last paragraph is just that, trying to write something to satisfy the reader that there’s an ending paragraph. That’s it from me today, and I want to go to eat.</span></div>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">What I wish to cover in this post is how teachers can use <b>WhatsApp</b> to facilitate learning.

<div style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">To ensure the success of the learning and efficient delivery, first, we must set up a focus group. The focus group might be according to the proficiency level, interest or outcomes desired. While it is easy to just disseminate instruction and tasks in a larger group, but as a conventional classroom, there will be backbenchers and it will be harder to spot them in an online setting. </span></div>

<div style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">You must have a sense of direction in your TnL. Discussions need to stay in its course amid the emojis and all other noises. At the end of the interaction, it will be easier for both teachers and learners to evaluate the outcome of the session and take further action. </span></div>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">It is helpful when one task is being given at a particular time. It helps learners to maintain focus on the content as well as the discussion. The teacher may set a time frame for a task to complete its cycle before proceeding to the next task. </span></div>

<div style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">It is important to highlight feedback to students. Using the reply feature is not enough when you have many students that have the same problem. Tagging them to the feedback you made serve to alert them and point out to things that require their attention. Tag also useful when highlighting achievement, conveying praises and acknowledging hard work. </span></div>

<div style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Never forget to cultivate good language used (I don't mean just grammatically correct sentence) and observing manners. Apart from teaching the content of a subject, teachers must instill good values in their learners all the time. Reality check...I know in some ESL classrooms, mixed-used languages do occur, but we might want to keep it to the minimum. We would like WhatsApp to become not only a tool for learning to take place but also for learning to take its place. </span></div>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">While there are issues concerning students' engagement and internet connectivity, I think teachers' efforts are all that matter. We must not think that our effort goes to waste, but rather as an investment to our questions bank and personal growth as an online tutor. After all, the ministry has long encouraged the use of online learning as a tool to educate and don't you think that NOW is the right time?</span></div>

Well, learning vocabulary is not restricted to these 4 techniques. But by identifying the techniques help teachers to focus on the TnL and give the students something to hold on to.<br />
<br />
I find explicit training in vocabulary works because it made you aware of the process and how to go about in doing it. No more time wasted on try and error method that frustrate a lot of our students. In this post, I will identify the techniques and elaborate on how to do it.<br />
<br />
You can choose to apply one technique at a time or try all in the chronological order of my elaboration.<br />
<br />
Okay...<br />

RECORD YOURSELF<br />
<br />
Before you record, plan your video. What do you want to say? Maybe say the words, its meaning by showing pictures or even gestures. Be creative!<br />

When you are done the planning, record your video in a duration of 15 to 30 seconds. A short video will serve the purpose just fine.<br />
<br />
Replay the video to listen to the pronunciation. if you are dissatisfied, re-record.<br />
<br />
Watch the video over and over again. or share it with your friends on social media. Who knows, with the motivation of 'likes' you might learn your vocabulary effectively.<br />
<br />
<br />
PLAY GAMES<br />
<br />
There are a lot of vocabulary games available. Here are some great ones which I found on the internet.<br />

To practice effectively, we need to practice with the people around us. The safest bet would be our friends and our teachers. I am not saying you can't practice with others but, friends and teachers will be a good place, to begin with.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
Choose a topic for practice on a particular day, practice using the same vocabulary over and over again. Observe others reaction towards your pronunciation and usage. We need to practice with other people because it provides instant feedback. Encourage your friends to help you practice.<br />
<br />
I hope these suggestions will get you motivated to master your vocabulary. There are no shortcuts to mastery and I hope you are up to it. Every language learners will need to do and redo these steps even their language mastery has become better after some time.<br />

I am not a shy person, or so I think, but I have doubts on myself and the things I do, professionally. Therefore by participating, it was some sort of self-validation. </div>

These competitions gathered ambitious people around the country, showcasing their innovations and flaunting their successes. I feel so small in these competitions, especially the one I participated recently, the <a href="http://pip.tlgateway.edu.my/" target="_blank">International Learning Innovation Competition</a> held at Universiti Utara Malaysia. For a start, the crowd was much bigger and most of the innovations were commercialized and have captured a market section of their own. This was one of the assessment criteria in the competition. </div>

<br />Once again, Perky Piung had the chance to grace the competition arena and interacted with a lot of people who graciously gave some ideas and feedback on how to make the programme better. These were the things that we really want when we got ourselves registered. Being on your own, contemplating things by yourselves was not satisfying as hearing from others. Insya Allah, those inputs will be considered and I believe we can do better and go further. </div>

First of all, you can admire their curiosity. They are curious just about anything and they are not afraid to ask. Secondly, these people are highly motivated. They go all over for knowledge and don't take no for an answer.<br />

These qualities exhibited in the teachers that I came into contact yesterday. A friend from the Microsoft Education requested for a session with his teachers. In my mind, I thought they were those young bubbly just about school leavers who will be in attendance. I got the shock when I realized that most of them were not as I imagined them to be, I was sorry for myself for being a stereotype.<br />

The session went for 30 minutes with Q&A about my whereabouts (MYSTERY SKYPE, in action!) and a lengthy discussion about the cultures of both countries. We also shared some ideas on how to use technology in the classroom and how it may benefit students.<br />

This session helped me and the students of Mr. Tien Mai to connect, and Skype helped to personalized that connection. By having a video call, the presence can be felt as we were able to look at each other, understanding cultures by observing how people act and react.<br />
<br />
Have you ever Skype in your classroom? Give it a try, you will feel the difference!<br />

This happened during Karnival Kreativiti dan Inovasi PdPc Peringkat Kebangsaan 2019 held at IPGM Kampus Sultan Mizan last month. It was an eye-opening event for both of us. Mind you, although Perky Piung is a doll, I always considered her as a separate entity from me. Haha<br />

We came into the event with no expectation to win prizes, we only hope to spread words about our programme and get people to participate. We also wanted to learn about others' innovation and make contacts and broaden our networking.<br />
<br />
The 2-day event began with judging on the first day and the result came out on the second day. Participants were located in the same hall with some separation between the categories. Perky Piung and I contested in the teacher category.<br />
<br />
What amazed us were the contestant from the students' category. They exhibited maturity in their presentation about the product they have invented. Both of us grilled them with questions! Most of them said that their project was a product of classroom teaching and learning activities which was further developed into something better. Some of them were able to secure a partnership with universities to develop and market their product. AMAZING.<br />

Looking back, Perky Piung and I understand that we have a long way ahead of us. We need to do a lot more to keep up with the current trends of education in this era. It is not easy to keep learners motivated by doing just one thing because this generation has traits so dynamic that you can't even foresee where it is going to go. Until then, keep on innovating!<br />

I understand that when I signed up, someday the first request will come. People say, the first time will always be the hardest but I say the first time is always mind-boggling. I didn't know where to start, although the teacher did mention that his students wanted to learn about Malaysia. Being born and raised in Malaysia suddenly made me an expert?<br />

I love this song! Her voice was enchanting!<br />
<br />
The realization of having to describe Malaysia in a short amount of time was certainly is not my choosing. I want to tell a lot of things, about my hometown, how we do things every day, how much we love being Malaysian. After some deliberation, I chose to share about Malaysian never-ending penchant for food and the glorious sandy beaches stretches that made Malaysia an island and a peninsular combined.<br />

The session went smoothly and judging by their body language, I knew they had a great time and I knew I certainly did. Although they seemed shy, the questions flowed at ease as they were teenagers with high curiosity (or it was their teacher's prompt? haha). I thought they were bright too.<br />
<br />
<u>I learned 3 things from the session:</u><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">The world is not defined by borders or ethnicity.</span> </b>Those students that I talked to came from the middle east with their family. Living in Australia, adopting the new country as theirs, adapting to new cultures and traditions made them into a world citizen. These days we should not stereotype countries with certain ethnicity but to be open to accepting people regardless of their religion or skin colour.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">You don't have to be an expert at everything.</span></b> What I think important in today's world, as people say living in the 21st century, is to be able to learn, unlearn and relearn. By embracing these three things, we can be optimistic of change and humbled by the knowledge we can learn from others.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Take pride in who you are.</b> </span>This is a value that I struggle to have, which only arrive as I grew older. The idea of the other side is always greener or taking pride is sin made me wonder about my true self, whether it is worth it. Now I do believe that everybody brings value into this world, therefore it is important to be proud of who you are and learn to own it. This will help you understand how you can contribute to the people around you.<br />
<br />
I hope to be part of this guest speaker session sometime soon. Maybe it will teach me more about myself that I'm still discovering (I talk like a 20-year-old girl with a whole lot of possibilities! haha).<br />
<br />
So, how about you? Have you tried being a <a href="https://education.microsoft.com/" target="_blank">Guest Speaker on the Microsoft Edu? </a><br />

<br />
Alhamdulillah. Give thanks to Allah, the Most Gracious.<br />
<br />
There were a lot of great things happened during our Skype session. I wish to highlight 10 of it. The order of writing doesn't mean I favour no. 1 over no. 10. It is just in the order I remember it. However, no. 1 is everlasting because my tastebud fell in love with it.<br />
<br />
1. The teachers gave me a box of cheese tarts as a token of appreciation. I believe the baker did a great job, as the cheese was soft and fluffy. Yummy! Cheese tart and Skype? Aha!<br />
<br />

8. When our Japanese friend told us they were having lunch, one of our students made a remark about having lunch in the classroom and her concern for cleanliness. I explained that Japanese students serve and clean up their desks and nearby area afterward. She seemed to be interested to learn more. I wish I have time to visit and tell her about everything I know about Japanese school. Or we can have another Skype, this time about culture? </div>

9. The teacher, Madam Haruka a nice lady. She was polite every time. She even emailed last year just to say hi, since I was quiet due to my pregnancy. Being a teacher with a different vision for her students, she sometimes faces adversity. After all, being different pose a threat to some people. But what I learn from her is that to never let others deter your passion to educate students in your own special way! Thank you, Haruka!</div>

10. At the end of the session, students answered a questionnaire mainly tap into their experience. All of them said they were happy doing Skype and would like to do it again. They also indicated their desire to learn English better after experiencing Skype. I hope in the future, I will be able to do Culture Skype so that students can learn about others and take it into their life lesson. It is like killing two birds with a stone since students need to hone their English language competency as well as learning about other people in some parts of the world. </div>

I am so excited about our Riddle Skype this year. Alhamdulillah, we have the opportunities to do so. Thank you to Mdm Haruka and her students from Saitozaki Elementary School for reaching out to us.<br />
#skypeintheclassroom #skypetolearn<br />
<br />
The Skype session which will be on schedule tomorrow has undergone 2 training sessions prior to the real session.<br />
<br />
In the first training session, students were brief on the flow of the Skype and designation of roles. The students learned how to go about based on their roles. During the second training, the students experienced mock Skype which requires them to simulate the flow of activity. They portrayed their understanding of their roles and were positive throughout the training.<br />
<br />
I hope everything will turn out well for Skype and students will gain valuable experiences and ideas about the world around them. I also hope that this activity will motivate them to speak and learn English better. In order to understand this, I have prepared a debriefing activity which I hope to discover new things about the programme and the participants.<br />
<br />

As a HIP initiative this year, I would like to get as many participants to this project. Basically, it is about the teaching and learning of vocabulary. In this project, Piung will travel to schools to learn new words that she can use in her travel. Pupils will teach her words and it will be recorded on video by the teacher. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the moment, two schools took part in this project namely SK Menerong and SK Landas. I am grateful that they have accepted to be the pioneer and help Piung to get words adventure started. I hope she can venture to other schools in the district and across the world, in the future. There are a lot of learning needs to be done and Piung learning opportunity is inexhaustive. </div>

What interesting is instead of teacher-imposed activity on students, choice board allow equal and independence of learning a particular topic or skill. What I learn from my reading and discussion with peers, choice board has several characteristics:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A choice board may have few choices of activities that caters to different learning styles.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>These activities have the same learning objectives.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A choice board may have compulsory and alternative activities. For example, do 1 compulsory activity and choose 2 activities. Some teachers would make a nine-choice tic-tac-toe style board because of this. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Teacher may prepare different choice board for different category of students. For example, mainstream, special needs, gifted.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A choice board may be made into end of class activity or integrated into the TnL itself.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Clear instructions on each activity on the choice board must be provided. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are some example of choice board for language learning. It is not an easy task to do but to deprive our diverse-ability students to equal learning would be unfair. I have a hard time designing these simple choice board while trying to compensate the learning styles. However, the class would be nonetheless interesting and a slight turnover of autonomy as students get to decide something for their learning. </div>
