WEEK 4 IN SMK PERIMBUN

  This week marks the fourth week of my presence in this school. Within this fourth week, it can be stated that there have been minimal changes due to the fact that the majority of the students are still engaged in examinations. For the form 3 class, I have successfully administered their speaking test during this week. However, in the current week, I have only one remaining period to continue my lessons for my form 3 students. Consequently, the instructional progress I was able to achieve for my form 3 students this week was limited to a rather straightforward lesson. The subject matter revolved around vocabulary associated with the fourth unit, namely "Special Relationship." The lesson comprised a basic activity where students were required to comprehend the meanings of each vocabulary term, followed by providing suitable examples using the names of their friends. In my assessment, this was the extent of what I could share pertaining to my lesson this week. Nonetheless, a...

WEEK 3 IN SMK PERIMBUN

This week marks my third week at SMK Perimbun. In this third week, not much has differed from the previous week, as students are still engaged in their examinations. Additionally, for the third year students, I am still in the process of conducting their speaking tests. During this week, my responsibilities include supervising the examinations for the fourth and fifth year students, administering the speaking tests for the third year students, and managing relief classes as directed. Unlike prior relief classes where I had not provided any instructional materials, I have taken the initiative in this week to prepare materials for the relief classes. This step was taken to ensure a more structured classroom environment. To achieve this, I employed an interactive learning activity known as the "find and search" game. I printed several sets of these games and distributed them to the students. I have observed that the students have shown a genuine interest in participating in thes...

WEEK 2 IN SMK PERIMBUN

This week marks my second week at this school. During this week, students in form 4 and 5 are sitting for their mid-year examinations, while form 3 students continue with their regular studies. I have been assigned the role of invigilating the examinations for my class this week. For the form 3 students, their original subject teacher directed me to administer a comprehensive assessment consisting of Paper 1 and Paper 2. I successfully conducted both assessments with diligence. Furthermore, I was entrusted with the responsibility of grading Paper 1, which I have already completed. Based on the results, I have determined that a majority of the students possess an intermediate level of proficiency in English. However, it has come to my attention that one student is encountering difficulties in comprehending the textual material. Consequently, I have been tasked with providing targeted intervention for this student in the upcoming week. Additionally, this week the school premises will be ...

WEEK 1 IN SMK PERIMBUN

 On July 31, 2023, I and three of my fellow trainees reported to Perimbun National Secondary School (SMK Perimbun) at 7:30 in the morning. Our presence was warmly welcomed by the Assistant Principal, Mrs. Siti Noriza. After meeting with Mrs. Siti Noriza, we submitted the necessary documents required by the school. Subsequently, the school assigned us as teachers for the morning session. After completing the document formalities, we met with the Head of English Department, Mrs. Aidah. She assigned a mentor for each of us to assist throughout our practicum. I was paired with Mrs. Khairiyyah as my mentor. In my opinion, Mrs. Khairiyyah is a cheerful, helpful, and understanding teacher, which makes me comfortable to seek guidance from her. During this time, we were provided with our schedules. During the first week, we were also given tasks to relieve several classes. I found it quite challenging to locate the classrooms I was assigned to due to the school's vast size. However, I recei...
