Today, I saw something unique and funny idea of my mentor in teaching English as a second language. The idea was to let the students 'create' their own countries. And I found that this is very fun and creative. The students had to explain about what is the name of the country, the currency, occupation, resources and etc.
The aim of this student presentation is to assess their speaking ability in English with their own ideas and creativity. By this approach they'd also learn and know about the countries systems and thus encourage them to be a good citizens. It's very fun to see how they make up the ideas of 'racing country' or 'music country' and etc and see how they construct their values and opinions in this activity, may be because personally I also love geography so much.
And I understand now that sometimes learning for the students sometimes can be done with a playful manner and even in that little activities they could be reflective and learned a little bit about responsibility. And praise the Lord that day by day, the relationship among me, my mentors and students grows and grows! And I keep praying for them that God may bless us in this process.
Glory to You O God, Glory to You!
What an interesting idea! Keep up the good work!
