REFLECTION OF FORUM

Firstly, we have been given a task in Malaysian University English Test (MUET) style based on our knowledge in English Language Proficiency. This task consists of speaking and writing skills and we must conduct a forum. In my opinion, the experience in doing this coursework is very interesting.

The strength is the task is actually emphasizes on our ability to use English in the wide range of real life context and to prepare us for tertiary education. The experience that I can get is I can build my self confidence well especially in speaking part in the forum. I manage to control my nervousness, speaking loudly and improve my vocabulary. In addition, we can gather more and wider information in writing the text of forum. Furthermore, I get more confidence to evaluate my opinion and improve my thinking skill. Nevertheless, we manage to learn the right pronunciation and speak clearly in speaking skill.

However, the weakness during doing this forum is we have to film it so many time. It is because we have made some mistake here and there in our pronunciation so we have to record it again. In fact, we finished it at 2 a.m. It is really tiring but we are grateful because we manage to finish it all. Besides, we have encountered a problem to burn the recording of the forum into a CD. We already used two CD to burn it but both of them were damaged. Luckily, the third times is a charm. Finally, we have been able to hand it to our lecturer.

We have been thinking the way to overcome this weaknesses. We have to practice our pronunciation effectively before we record it. So, we will finish the recording earlier and we must manage our time systematically so we can finish our work in time with no rush. Moreover, we have to learn the technology well. Thus, we will not make the same mistake again. On the other hand, we have to pay more attention of the explanation on speaking skill that given by our lecturer because we are going to be a teacher in the future. So, we must capable to become a great role model. Thanks to Madam Iswander Kaur for her lecture. We have got many benefit from her lecture.
