WEEK 7 IN SMK PERIMBUN

This week marks my seventh week at this school. During this week, there isn't much to share as I have been teaching and providing relief just as usual. However, on Monday (September 11th), we were tasked with organizing an awards presentation session for students involved in language week activities from the previous week. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos from that day as we were quite busy at the time.

Additionally, this week featured a program held on Wednesday (September 13th) during co-curricular hours, known as the "Perimbun Has Talent" program. This program allows students to showcase their talents, including singing, acting, magic tricks, dancing, playing musical instruments, and more. The program ran from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM. It's undeniable that this program was quite captivating, as we got to witness the various talents our students possess.

As for my teaching sessions this week, I still feel confident in managing the students in Form 3. I've begun incorporating technology like projectors to make the lessons more engaging for the students. I've also started implementing a reward system for certain class activities.

However, I continue to face the same challenge of not being able to spark the interest of Form 4 students in the English subject. From my observations, the majority of Form 3 students have a genuine liking for English and consistently try to communicate with me in the language. On the contrary, I can see that Form 4 students are not as enthusiastic about learning English. Only a few of them show interest. Despite providing engaging activities, their responses remain lackluster. I've also noticed that Form 4 students are not very inclined towards group work, possibly due to conflicts within the group.

Nevertheless, these challenges do not deter me from seeking the best ways to capture their attention. I will strive to discover the learning methods they prefer so that I can attempt to apply them in our classroom sessions.

Before I forget, this week, I received an appreciation certificate for my involvement in the appreciation day event. Not only that, but I was also gifted a mug with my name on it by Ms. Aidah, the school's GKMP, as a token of appreciation for our efforts during language week. Finally, I received a copy of the Quran as a gift from one of my students.

Below, I have included some pictures that I can share for this week. 








I believe that's all I can share regarding this week. Below is my SWOT analysis for this week:

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...

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 8 IN SMK PERIMBUN

 This week marks my eighth week at SMK Perimbun. As for this week, there isn't much to share as my routine remains quite consistent. I've been conducting teaching and learning sessions for both classes as usual. However, this week brought a slight twist as we had to attend school on Saturday due to a makeup day for a public holiday, which was postponed because of the elections. On this makeup school day, the school organized a Community Service Day, known as "Program Gotong Royong Madani," and various activities under the guidance of the Counseling Unit. I, along with my fellow practicum partners, were assigned to participate in the "Program Gotong Royong Madani." Throughout the program, everything went smoothly, and it turned out to be a rewarding experience. During the Community Service Day, our school came together to contribute to the betterment of our immediate surroundings and community. We engaged in a variety of activities aimed at fostering a sense ...
