ReplyDelete>>> A) In my view, prostitution and abortion problems are related to each other because some case of abortion causes from unsafe sex of prostitution. In contrast, some of prostitutes is a disappointed woman who used to conduct abortion.
As a student, I can help lower the rate of these problem by guiding young generation to realise the value of faminine worthiness that our body is not a product for sale. The concept of monogamy is important to our marital life that needs to care about. The other concept is morality. If we live our life follow good morality, our life will be controlled conciously. The abortion problem won't occur as well.
>>> B) There are many social issues occur in every part of the world nowadays. Some of them affects directly to our life, while some of them just affects indirectly or doesn't involve. To learn and pay attention into these social issues is the way to keep up-to-date to current situations. We may lead to these issues someday unexpectedly. Therefore, learning about them will be useful to our study and work. If we are not interested in these important issues, we will fall behind others.
So sad (T_T) I'm not the first one! Next time it will be my turn 55++
ReplyDelete>>>>1).If you want more people to post on this blog, you may have to make it more interesting by adding games and rewards. Leave Q&A (not academic one, please!!), let the students share ideas and gave them rewards for the most interesting one. Don't forget to set a topic of the hottest issue to discuss.
>>>>2) A.Chapter 1 needs to talk more about these topics;Twelve principles of language learning, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Assessment. Chapter 2 we need to talk about;Theories of teaching and three categories of conceptions.
>>>>2) B. In conclusion, Communicative Language Teaching-CLT" is the way of teaching that many linguists agreed to strenghten the weak points of Audio-Lingual method. CLT tends to employ "student centered", and, "less teacher centered". lesson plan is designed to suit each student in particular. CLT tries to push the students to be able to communicate in real situation by encouraging the students to develop thier skills in every aspect.
That's all for my attemption. It's rather long but it's worth reading 55++. How about the others? Where are you guys? I'm dying to read yours....

I'm here ka P'Chananyu. YOU are not the first guy who answers the questions, but you are the first MA TEFL na ka. ^U^
ReplyDelete1. I think so about "some rewards" ^^. Anouncements can help we to get more students post on this blog. Word of mouth? Handouts? or whatever
2.
a) Chapter1: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Assessment should be defined. I have to say I don't quite understand about their definitions.
Chapter2: The three manin categories: Science-research conceptions, Theory-philosophy conceptions, and Art-craft conceptions are needed to explain more.
b) "communicative teaching"
It is the teaching method which focuses on language content not the language form. Students can learn and practise the foreign language through communicative activities. They not only learn to interact with foreigners under this teaching, but also they learn to understand the performance of language functions and expression of notions.

sorry for being late. I've just finished reading...slowly person -*-
ReplyDelete1) I agree with Mr. Chananyu about adding interesting topics and also giving reward for someone who gives the best answer!! or whatever...
2(a)>>>Chapter 1, we haven't talked about a principled approach, twelve principles of second language teaching and a crafted process of diagnosis, treatment and assessment.
For chapter 2, we need to talk more about three conceptions of teaching including science-research, theory-philosophy and art-craft.
2(b)>>>Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is a principle of second language teaching that provides how to use language in communication. Grammar, sociolinguistics, discourse and strategics are some competences of communication that are emphasized.

ReplyDelete>>> Prostitution in Japan :
The number of teenager prostitution in Japan is in alarming level and still increasing nowadays. The girls wait for men to take her out for sex and offer her a satisfying amount of money. These girls need money to buy designer fashions in order to look and dress like movie actors and singers on television. They think that being a prostitute is just like another part-time job. They see their youth as a currency with time limit, so they need to spend it before it expires.
--------------------------------
>>> U.S. Abortion Law :
Currently, American women have the legal right to obtain an abortion in all states without any matter to number of months of pregnancy. In the past, the right of abortion used to argue many times before getting an approval. Some people concerned about health of women, so they disagreed with having aborting in the third trimester pregnancy. In contrast, some people concerned about women’s emotion, so they agreed with having abortion if women are upset even in the third trimester pregnancy.

ReplyDelete@Oy; it seems that i got to be slower than you cuz i'm about to submit it ^^
Answer!
1) Keep reminding your students what's coming up in the blog.
2)CLT is another method of teaching a foreign language which its attempts students to communicate proficiently. With this method it is considered as a student – centered because it help students improve their language ability through their class participation in communicative rather than teacher – centered. In the class, teachers will talk less in class and will act like a classroom advisor or monitor, on the other hand, students will do the most talking, they are freely to communicate on the topic that they decided to learn. By this practice, students will have more confidence to communicate.
3) Chapter 1 : the topic that we haven't discussed in the class is "12 priciples"
Chapter 2 : I think you have yet mentioned in the class, ka ajarn!!!
Wish me luck
Prostitution should be legalized, as an occupation. To legalize prostitution is an advantage because it allows prostitutes access to medical care treatment, social well fare, and government can tax prostitution.
ReplyDeleteAbortion needs to be legalize in order to save woman' s life, to protect woman 's health and to advocate liberty and privacy.

Hello Aj. Metee
ReplyDeleteI'm Narasith, and i'm here to summarize the topic of our discussion that we will have in this saturday
1. Prostitution: Many students prostitutes stated that they working as an escort girl because they couldn't earn enough money to pay their tuition fee and others fee that related to their education
2. abortion: Most of the religions oppose against prostitution and the opposite (Atheist, etc.) and they attacked religion on the unanswerable spiritual reason. But in my opinion function of religion is not prevent human from being addicted to something that damaged their selves, not just to take them to heaven.
Hello Aj. Metee
ReplyDeleteI'm Narasith, Again. about your question that you mentioned above;

2. How to lower abortion and prostitution rate i will write it in my essay.
3. We need to study about social issue because we must understand what is a controversial issue in society, how to communicate with people because people shared a different world view
Hello.. Sorry for being soooo late.. :P
ReplyDelete1. Wow! For the ideas above are quite nice, especially adding some games and leaving academic Q&A.. hehehehe .. And also advertise and have a blog link in a popular website! :)
2. A: Principled approach, diagnosis, treatment and assessment in chapter 1 and three main categories of theories of teaching in launguage teaching; science research conceptions , theory-philosophy conception and art-craft conception i chapter 2 are what we need more talk..
B: CLT is a foreign language teaching method that focuses on how to push students to be able to communicate in the real situation. It's students' center.
That's all for me.. ;)

Hi Aj. Metee. I'm Narasith, i want to answer about homosexual topic.
ReplyDeleteHomosexuality and Religion
Most of the religions are against homosexuality and aspect of homosexuality on each religion is diverse and complex. For example, Catholic not condemned homosexual people as sinner but never permit them a marriage. Islamic condemned homosexual people as a sinner and has punishment for them. In my opinion, people from any religion should stop condemned homosexual people and open mind and welcome them to the religions because I believe many homosexual people walk in bad path because religions not welcome them. If religions welcome homosexual people they can learn the doctrine and become good people for society.
Hi Aj.Metee
