The last day- Pro Elt

Sadly, it finally came to an end of our pro elt journey.

Steve was here, so he completed our group. We sang `season in the sun` and kenangan terindah. Then both Shawn and Steve blew the candle and then we had lunch.







My group members

A little drama

Today we method and approaches module. We covered drama as a method to make lesson interesting. Luckily we just have to do skit (which is a new word that I learn) - a short drama.

We just do puns and luckily with great response as all our fellow teachers understood them.

My e moderator

This is the picture of my e-moderator for my group. Tara Beiswanger, a Canadian. She is very pretty and soft spoken. She came because many of my course members did not complete the module given and some were not even started anything!

My substitute Pro Elt trainers

This is Martha, a native speaker educator for KMY. She is from Hungary but we can understand her English perfectly well because her husband is an American. She jsut cover for our original trainer, Shawn, who still stuck with his imigration pnroblems.

In my opinion, she was quite strict and treated us like kids. She forbids us to talk among ourselves at all and forbid us to use handphone or lapton in class. It was not like we play it all the time! Evenmore, she devised so many activities in each section of the module,so it was quite weary and time consuming. She only managed to finish a module the the week. In positive note, the activites are applicable in classroom.

This is Gary, a Scottish. We like him. But he was dress in this black vest and white long sleeve and black trousers the same as the hotel waitress. Maybe a fashion downfall for us but he was unpurtubed.

This is Henry, a South African. His accent is difficult to understand. He was energetic. The picture was taken when he was role playing having a telephone conversation with my fellow coursemate.

Pro Elt Course - my trainers

Ive been back to the pro elt course again! The course started at 5 February 2015 at the same place - The Regency Hotel, A, Setar for a whole month.

Here are the pictures of my trainers.

Tom, a Scottish who has a difficult to understand accent but quite jovial during teaching.

Next to him is Marta, a Hungarian. She was quite strict and forbids us to use our handphone and asked us to quit talking  during her lesson.



Next is David who is a South African. His accent is understandable but he always puff around.

We had several trainers because our original trainer, Shawn had visa problem and had to settle it first. He will be back in the second week.

Examagram vs APTIS test

Today, Martha, our trainer instructed us to log on to the examagram website. It is a certified English test or examination that allows you to accurately and quickly assess your English competence. First, we have to log in and then an email will be sent for us, giving the link of the test.

My friends and I each got different set of questions. There are 60 questions and we must answer in 30 minutes. the questions are in multiple choice and we answered by clicking the choice given. I managed to answer 58/60 questions and astounded to get this band. C1!

The band is the same as APTIS test which means I got better marks but it did not reflect the APTIS test because in APTIS test there are listening and speaking sections too.
