What 's going on in the class?









     Okay, during class, I geared the students towards free activities after giving them some lessons & works to accomplish. After that I do my round and tending them one by one. As usuall, they had their exercising moment when I'm guiding and checking each of them. So it's not forbidden if they stand up or strolling to other place for just two three minutes, right? :)


My first photo was taken in 2004
in Bertam Indah,Kepala Batas.
Another photo was taken in 1983 in Malacca.
Not yet marry or even engaged at that time.
I guess there's not much different, is there?
Well seeing between these two photos, not much that change
except that now I'm a married woman with  kids in (2004).
          I still remember all those pieces of my days during my studies. Yeah..only had a coupled of pictures to hold onto... the
memories... Mostly the bold one, I mean me without my scarf. You know what?   At that time, I'm the shortest teacher among all..ha ha.
Now, to be a tutor and get involved in a Home Tuition is quite some achievement for me. I love it.
   As shown in my previous post, I had a great time in giving my students knowledge & lessons. But a hard time was when I had to
quote the expected rate which was consistent with my
experience and qualification.
Let say if I quote a higher rate of course the parents
would less likely to hire me. Conversely, if I intend
to get students sooner, I may consider it differently.
But anyway I know my effort is too high...and my
attention is so sincere. I do want my students to improve
and grab great success so I had to give and take in a way,
to quote adeptly. Furthermore, I let a home based tuition/
HBT
as my profession now.
But as to compare with others and to be known, let me
highlight a bit of the tuition rate in an agency in KL.

Below are the market rate in KL for referance.

Words do grow.

How can the number of words in  language grow?

English is a highly dynamic language, used worldwide by an ever-growing community of speakers. Blog like Basic Educare contribute to this growth, by assisting native and foreign speakers alike to write and use English more frequently, and properly.
What this boils down to is simple: the more people use language, the more that language grows. With the help of the internet, a never-ending cycle of communication is in perpetual motion. And right now, you are a part of it, just by reading this article!

3 WAYS LANGUAGE CAN GROW:

1) SLANG
Most slang terms start out in spoken communication only, and are not considered "proper" enough to be included in formal writing (i.e. business correspondence, school papers, or e-mails to people with whom you aren't familiar).
Over the years, many slang words have progressed from inclusion in spoken English, into proper written English.

2) TECHNOLOGY

As new things are invented, new words are born.
Words like computer, television and radio are only as old as the objects they reference. Concepts like SMS messaging and social-networking sites (i.e. Facebook, Twitter) – are two examples of technological terms that did not exist a few years ago, at least not to the same extent we use them today.

WHAT IS BASIC EDUCARE?

Gosh... feel like tons to explain but let me start by saying this is a programme that I endure and let out to students via adults who are quite ignorance of English Language & also who have problems about the basic learning.
Yes, I'm feeling skeptical at first to highlight this BE onto this blog of mine but alas, this is the way to communicate as well as helping our community to breath within the spaces of this modernistic life.
So...now I'm going to promote myself here not on the intention of telling that I'm better off with my studies or whatsever. Hence, this is my passion & love in teaching. I do love tutoring and tending students. I believe I got ways to them eh.
Secondly...In this matter, there's always questions asking about the syllabus,curriculum,methode and teaching/learning outcomes.Why,What & How? I'll write on that later kay.
Most of all I want to admit here that I'm not that good with my own dialect ways of speaking. I love to rambling and babling freely,oops...sorry. Moreover usually I apply Malay language to explain the difficulties that my students entangled themselves with.
Practice make perfect! I do hope my students appreciate this and go on 'bersembang' although performing bahasa rojak as long as they utter on & start to communicate.
