Learning Reflections

Seminar in English Language Teaching

       Today, The teacher taught me about factor affecting English language teaching and learning in higher education and let us to discuss in group about the topic. Before I discuss with friends, the teacher asks us to create a map to think about factors affecting English teaching and learning. 

       Moreover, I discuss with my friends about the research "Factor affecting English language teaching and learning in higher education" and we summarize that there are many factors such as;

1. Language teaching and learning

    1.1 Goal of language teaching and learning

    1.2 Major methods in language teaching

    1.3 Issue relating to the activity of English teaching and learning

          1.3.1 The roles of teachers and learner

          1.3.2 The use of teaching materials 

       This research found that there were many problems affecting the quality of English teaching and learning at HUTECH. These problems included: the teachers's teaching styles and methods; teachers' classroom management; teachers' investment for teaching; and students' abilities and attitudes.

       For this lesson, I found some problems in some topic of the research and I ask a friend in group to help me and ask her to describe to me. I think the topic for this lesson is interesting topic because its factors reflect to teaching and learning of Thailand in the current too.
