Change
Change the poem, change the line,
Change the meaning, change the rhyme,
Change the outcome, change the plan,
Change the mood, change the man.
Change your looks, change your smile,
Change your going, stay awhile,
Change your past, change your time,
Change your future, stay be mine.
William Greer (1910-1985)

Practicum Session Sept.4
Today, I used barrier games for teaching speaking. My objectives were to help ss interact about the similarities and differences in the given two pictures and speak 2-3 sentences showing similarities and differences. I gave one picture to one student and second to the other. One was asked to describe the details in the picture.The other responded with yes or no answers with affirmative and negative statements. They were able to spot through description 3 differences in the two pictures . Being asked to see both the pictures, they could spot all the 10 differences. Then, they came out with 3 sentences each showing dissimilarities and similarities.
My objectives were achieved. I have to reduce my anxiety or consciosness to the presence of the peer group or the observer. Some detouring in my plan might have tured me conscious.
Pl. add to my growth.

Teaching Listening Practicum Sept.2
I took an audio clip from VIO Special English for Teaching Listening. Objectives stipulated were as follows:
By the end of this session, after listening to an audio clip, you should be able to-
* tell the main idea/ gist of the clip
* answer orally 5 - 8 questions containing specific information
After giving the purposes of listening and explaining the difference between hearing and listening, I played the audio clip for the ss and asked them to look for the main idea in the clip. The ss , after first hearing, came out with two words - American education, clearly hinting at the gist. Being instrctuted to look for specific information for answering the eight questions in the distributed handout, they were given the second hearing to the clip. I inquired about whether they could find the specific information. Then I played the audio for the third time asking them to ascertain finding the answers to the questionaire. They were able to answer 6- 7 questions correctly. I think, my objectives were achieved. Response of the ss was quite satisfying to me.
I could have told sth about VOA Special English and used brainstorming. My stress management is to be strengthened.
Pl. help me polish myself.
