First Day in Thailand !




My very "real" first day in Thailand !!!
We (Me, Ardian, and Bari) have a schedule to visit the school that we are going to observe and teach. We are going at about 08.00 a.m. and Mr. Buddy and Mr. Ek (our coordinator) took us to the halaal restaurant in Phetcabhuri. They serve us with kind of karee rice and we can choose whether we want to mix it with fish or chicken, it depends on us, it cost 50 baht (about Rp.25.000) including mineral water. If you are a moslem, a traveller and you need to find that kind of food in Phetchaburi, I recommend you to try it !

After having breakfast, we started our journey by going to visit Bari's school, Aroonpradit School. I saw something interesting there where some of the students dressing up with training something you wear to do sport activity, they were studying outside and dancing ! We might see students in Indonesia doing sport when they study outside with that kind of outfit, they will do sport. It was something new for me. After that, we go to my school, the place that the place I'm going to teach, Satit School, Phetchaburi Rajabhat University Demonstration School. I met the director of the school, Aj. Som, Li Ling, and my buddies, Dream, Pond, Pik, and others.They guide me so well. We took a picture at the end of our meeting and went to other place.

Our next destination is to have lunch with the director of PBRU, and after that we took Ardian to his school, it placed out of the town. Ardian will live at the teacher's house, it was a nice and warm house, but she also has some dogs and barking all the time. But the owner said that we don't need to worry about it. 
because Ardian place is quite near to the beach, then our coordinator decided to send us there, to Cha-Am beach. It was a nice and clean beach. We found snack that made by something like "kulit lumpia" in Indonesia, it mixed with banana, sugar and milk. and swalllaaaaaaa~ it seems simple, but sooooo arrooyyy ~ (delicious). We also met nice people (the seller of the snack that we bought in the beach) who pay a glass of coffee for us and give the snack for free, how lucky we were.

After a long journey, then our coordinator sent us back to our places, and can't wait to have another stories in Thailand !

1.1      Planning for teaching Every teacher has their own way of teaching, but curriculum, syllabus, teaching plan and handbook are their guidance to teach the students in the classroom. Teaching schedule has been made, so every teacher has known their time to teach and of course they prepare their teaching material before the class. Based on my observation, the planning for teaching has been made by each of the teacher, the one that might be changed just the topic of the material. 1.2      Preparing Lessons and Materials In preparing the lesson and the materials for the students, I saw some teachers are providing their material for the students a day before or a few hours before they teach the students. For example, they went to the photocopy machine to make a copy of students paper activity and also some materials that are going to be taught to the students in the class. A teacher told me that she also try to find some other resources related to the students’ mater

1.     Teaching Methods If you take a look on every teaching methods that teachers do, you will see the differences. Let’s just say that there are teacher A, B, and C and all of them will have schedule to teach the same level in different time. Let’s start with teacher A, I can say that this kind of teacher is a kind of normal teacher where they will open the class just as usual and then tell the students about what are they going to do in the classroom today. We can say that as a “speech” method. But, the combination between “speech” and “grouping” or “work in team” will make the lesson more interactive. Teacher A combine the methods and gives the students more time to do excercise rather than focus on giving the material to students by speech. Teacher B has a quite similar method with teacher B, but the difference is that the first teacher or teacher A combining it with grouping the students to do the task, meanwhile, teacher B purely do “speech” until the end of the class an

1.1       Procedures of Teaching Just after entering the school, the director and my advisor help me a lot to make a schedule for me, for my observation, being teacher assistant and of course to teach the students. Both of the director and my advisor have a great work, and also my buddies in this school, so I can understand what should I do and what should I teach to the students. They provide me a schedule to see what time that I will have a chance to observe, being the teacher assistent and when to teach the students in the classroom. Based on that schedule, I can prepare myself for my teaching activity. Students' handbook Classroom facilities I always ask my buddies and also my advisor about what I’m going to do in the classroom, what kind of material that they usually teach to the students and I will make an appropriate material to the students. My advisor and may buddies usually help me to build or to create my lesson plan, they show me the handbook
