Once Bu Gum asked me,
what language teaching method I good at, what in my mind was Total Physical
Response. It’s not only because I am a dancer, but it’s more because I am a
kinesthetic person. I can more understand about the lesson the teacher teach
using total physical response. So do when I teach students, I can be better in
delivering the lesson using total physical response. There are several reasons
why I can teach better using this method.
First, I can explore more with my body movement while
teaching. As a dancer, express something with dance or body movement is usual. That
is why it is easier for me to teach using total physical response than other
method. Second, I am not really good at speaking. Pak Pri has told me that our
brain is like a storage which saves our stock of word in the right position. I
believe with that, but when I have to speak something in front of the class,
the word that comes out my mouth is not good. I think it is because I rarely
speaking in English, so when I have to speak in English I lack of confident. On
the other hand, when I have to do something with body movement in front of the
class with a thousand people or even more, I feel free and confident. It
happens because I love to do that. That is why total physical response is the
method I good at.
From
those two reasons, I conclude that teaching method that I good at is Total
Physical response. Still, I will learn and integrate all the teaching method to
improve my teaching ability.
