This is all about successful experiences in learning language.

Actually not really successful, but I love positive things so I choose the successful experiences in learning language. There are some way how to I success. First, I was tactile/kinesthetic learner and second, I had enabler teaching style from my English teacher, third, I had an abroad environment of acquisition. I will explain all of these three analyses.

I was one of fidget student I can’t seat properly and couldn’t concentrate on teacher’s lecture.

I hated to sit at a desk for long periods of time. Of course, I couldn’t concentrate means can’t learn from teacher, the class was tiring and tedious. But there was exception cases I had fun with tactile/kinesthetic mode of class, for example role play, clay art class, touching the materials, something activity.

English Role play let me interactive more participating, during science class I could memorize rock’s entire name, even that name was English terms through the touching materials.

Clay art helped my concentration and let me challenging to make satisfying work. I preferred first to see something done and then to do it myself. While using English I used my hands to describing things. Maybe I have always been attracted by English and art.

When I was 3rd grade in elementary school, I had group tutor and she was kinds of enable teacher, she gave us some activities to do and she observed us and she gave a lot of seed quiz. if someone had corrected answer, that student could get a score (score on the paper with cute shapes like heart, moon, space, clover) the student of highest score got a sticker finally if someone collected 25 stickers, she asked our whishes and gave us gift as far as in school materials.

That method made me exciting and passionate for learning.

After 5years, when I was 2nd grade in middle school I went to Philippine for study.

At first time everything was so scared, so I couldn’t mingle with my classmates but some friendly friends helped me to adapt. Whole class progressed with English so l could understand English lecture. Even though I hated to study English, that environment forced me to learn English.

In my case, I hate one teacher teaching a lot of class members, I want just few students in classroom,

Because those kinds of class help me to understand easily, and I can ask more, teacher will care me better and I have more opportunity to answer the question so I love small group of study.

Also I have weakness of self-study, I won’t study if I’m alone but there is someone who study with me, I will study as can as possible.

Therefore I try to go academy or find group study on internet. Maybe If I saw someone who studies hard, that scene gives me challenge and motivation.

When I become a teacher, I will be “ding ding ding” teacher. Do you know sounds of jackpot ringing? If you get 3same picture, you will have big money with ringing, that make notices everybody you got lucky.

Nowadays, a lot of students feel boring with their study. I will give tactile kinetic class that help students not fall in sleep and body moves give interactive and touching will give you never forgetting it. If they have hard to memorize I will demonstrate sense of humor, connected with funny episode or comic pose will help to memorize well.

I will be kinds of enable teacher, I will not help directly. After I observe them if they can’t find the answer then I will give direction to find answer at the last. So students will think about it deeper and never give up easily.

Students will think “I didn’t study but I know what happen to me?” because they got acquisition lessened by me. Do not force to do, for example when you watched funny TV program then you can remember whole story, just same as I will teach my students.

I know that’s not easy but I was one of them, so I choose my title as “My reflection in mirror” I will teach do my best using Tesol lessons, if you give little bit of care or attention, you will can change students like me. Whoever through me, those students will never fail.
