This class is the last class before Raya. We still in presentation mode. Today we have new asignment to find an article and evaluate the article to the criterion provided by lecturers. This task is actually similar to our math task and we also have learn how to find a good article in our info skills. So I believe this task have support from my previous lesson and the product will accurate as ever. Return to presentation, we have an input about how to find and select authentic material. Moreover how students can benefit from authentic material more than non-authentic material. Lastly, we realised that learning isd a process, although we in the corner of hari raya, learning must not forgotten because we as teacher have to realise the fact. K, Hepi Raya! please forgive me inside and out from those who know me, Tq.

Presentation time! Today is a revealation of what we have discuss for last week. We learn a lot today about the variety of teaching resources, negative and positive aspects of a those materials. Totally, we feel so great to know about those informative and benificial presentations which they can prepare us as a teacher who equipped with the knowlegde to produce an effective teaching material. I imagine myself as a teacher with our material cope with the students' interest, time constraint and the setting. We realize, to make aa good jugment on how to develop teaching resources, we should take a lot of consideration. So, preparation and proper planning will reflect us as a dedicate and good teacher.

Today's class we are required to discuss about a topic "Integrating language work and other subjects". This discussion appears interesting and important knowledge for us as a teacher to explore how to use language for another subjects. This statement is valid as processes used for another subjects are similar for language learnig. Those processess are diagrammatic representation , repeated pattern, understanding through seeing and responding by doing. I am looking forward to present this stuff to inform my colleagues the similarity and difference. Moreover, language to be taught in other subjects is possible as language is the medium to deliver message and it also sustain their vocabulary through concrete evidence which can be taught in other subjects such as science and math.

To sum up, integrating language to be taught in other subjects will improve the proficiency of the students. Thus, teacher should plan some strategies to implement an effective integrative language lesson.
