TESOL Seminar at
Worldbridge
Today was another Saturday, so we had seminar with the
Indonesian teachers again. It was great
to see some old friends again and connect with some new ones. The seminar today talked about grammar
and how to promote effective feedback to the students. Although it got long at times, I did learn a
lot about how to teach grammar that I never realized before. I found it interesting that the Indonesians
in my group knew the grammar terminology much better than I did. They said they primarily learned English
through memorizing rules and filling out worksheets, while most native English
speakers learn more from listening to the speakers around us. At the end of the seminar, it was hard to say goodbye to so
many close friends, both in the seminar and at Worldbridge. I never imagined I was going to make so many
close friends here; everyone has been much more friendly than I ever thought. Tonight, we went to a Pizza Hut in Malang,
and it was great to have a small taste of home again. Pizza Hut was a high-class restaurant, which
came as a large surprise for me.
Regardless, it was a very welcome treat to have some delicious
pizza. We came back and continued to
plan the Malang English Service for
tomorrow afternoon.
