The first week at the university of Arkansas includes an activity that was really critical for me which is "true color". This activity is about analyzing the personality according to four colors that are orange, gold, blue, and green. Each color represents a specific person according to some points that are done via choosing specific points. This activity was influential because it will help me recognize my students' needs according to their colors. Thus, as an English language teacher, I'll try to apply this for my students to recognize their colors which will help me understand them better than before based on their personality temperament. So by  identifying my students' personality, true colors will aid me into different motivations and communication styles to comprehend those around me for more understanding. The activity was also new subject to be shred with others since it was the first time to deal with.

    I am glad you liked this activity. It is important to take into account different personalities especially as teachers since we deal so closely with people on a day to day basis. Is there anything specific that you learned about yourself from this that you did not already know.?

              On Monday, July, 29, and Wednesday, July, 31, I had lectures about teaching pronunciation      with Christina. The lectures were about the importance of pronunciation for the students and how        to pronounce the stressed words. The importance of teaching pronunciation to our students is that our students will improve their listening comprehension skill because it will be easier for them to distinguish vocabularies via their pronunciation. Another important thing, in my opinion, is that pronunciation is very significant for the students to improve their reading skill because reading is the pronunciation of words and English language consists of many words that look the same but pronounced differently and have different meanings. Word stress is also another important topic in pronunciation. It is usually useful, engaging, and fun to teach. Thus, what was included in Christina's lecture is stressed w...

          On Wednesday, July, 31, there was a lecture about educational technology by Linda Jones. The lecture was about how to use technology in teaching and how it is possible to use technology in teaching. By using technology, there are many benefits of language learning. So the benefits of using technology in language learning are to increase time on task, contact with authentic language, allow for creative activities in and out of class, enhance students and teachers motivation, address students' needs. All these benefits are very important to language learning process in which the students would be able to learn language better. Using technology in language learning has also some negative issues because using technology is not always possible and doable. Sometimes technology inside the class doe not meet the needs of the students or the goals of what the teacher wants and there is a suitable time to use technology inside the class. For me, I found the l...

        Last week, I attended a couple of lectures under the title of "teaching grammar" with Mr. Joe.    These lectures included a lot of topics and activities inside the class like: adjective clausses, and passive voice. These topics were taught almost inductively where Joe introduces the topic and gives examples before starting the rules of the topic. For me, I like this approach  because it is a meaningful as well as a memorable lesson and allows the students to engage and discover themselves via participating actively in the lesson without recognizing the rules. Another thing is that the students are motivated spontanuosly since the lesson is a student-centerd rather than a teache-centered class. So by following this approach, the teacher will make use of students' eliciting knowledge instead of explaining a given concept by being presented by the teacher to show how the concept is used by the stud...
