I must extra understand what they are said and sometimes I can’t explain some definition in English and I will make some gesture or show the picture.
6.5.Overall impression
Overall my impression on this project was good, I have a lot experiences. I know about new culture and the other. But at all, the most I love here is Filipinos are so friendly and always make me comfortable. All the student, teacher, other student teacher, and especially my coordinator (Ma’am Lillian) and our buddies really take care of us. I really love it.
6.6.Suggestion for future improvement
The suggestion to future improvement in SEA-Teacher is the home university and the school should know about the major of the student teacher and what their topic already learned in their university. So the school can adjust that with what the topic the student teacher will teach in school, because if they will teach what they haven’t know before, that’s will so difficult, like me, I never learn about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam before, but I got this topic. It’s difficult for me at first, but I can did it.
