Nabila Nur Amalia's Journal

Saturday, 19th May 2022. After going through several series in this SEA Teacher program, Annisa and I were also asked to practice teaching English at Srijaya Negara Junior High School. We are assigned to teach the 9th-grade students. I was happy and nervous when I was going to teach students at that time because this was the first time for me to teach students directly. But, because of the knowledge that I have gained in college such as from the "Teaching and Learning Strategies" and "Micro Teaching" course made me have a clear plan to teach students at their level.

Because the students will immediately carry out the School Exams, we are only asked to review the material that has been taught by their English Teacher before.

This activity is usually carried out by schools every Ramadan. This "Pesantren Kilat" is filled with activities such as islamic lectures and also reciting the Qur'an together.
