First Ride, First Trip

-
Every journey has a great beginning and a painful ending.

Mabuhay!

I’m Khryss Anne Joyce G. Ungria from Pampanga State Agricultural University, Magalang, Pampanga, Philippines. I am one of the participant of SEA-Teacher Batch 7 at Lambung Mangkurat University. First, I will tell you my journey on my way to Banjarmasin.

@NAIA Terminal 3


Take off.... 
Nervous, excited, scared, and happy? those are just some of the feelings I felt when I’m about to go to Banjarmasin. On the 12th of January 2019, we are about to fly to Jakarta at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 with my schoolmate at PSAU, I found it quite boring when we arrived in the airport because we waited too long as we have our early checked in. But the good thing is, I felt so excited to meet all of the staffs, buddies and my Co- SEA-Teachers who are in the host university.I find it hard to ride into an airplane at the first time, and it is quite exciting to fly high and see the lights at night. 


1:00 a.m. of January 13, 2019, we arrived at Soekarno Hatta International Airport and it really different from Philippines. We have to change our money into Rupiah, I was so shocked to have 1.3 Million Rp because in Philippines that money will means a lot for us. After that, we ride in a taxi named Blue Bird to go to Terminal 1A. We have our layover for 3 hours in the terminal 1A. 
Here I come. :)
Its kind a great experience.. 
Upon waiting in Terminal 1A, I want to buy food but the problem is the vendor are not getting what I’m saying, so I just go back to my seat and let it my hunger eats me. At last! I heard the announcer said “Perhatian, para penumpangpesawat Lion Air dengannomorpenerbangan JT 0320 tujuan Banjarmasin dipersilahkannaikkepesawatudaramelaluipintu A5”. 

 I experienced to ride a bus for us to reach the plane on the way to Syamsuddin Noor Airport. At 7:00 a.m. in the morning we arrived at Banjarmasin Airport, Mr. Edwar

Saputra and Buddy Danny pick us up. On our way to Universitas Lambung Mangkurat, we ate in KFC with them and it was so surprising that they are not using spoon and fork for eating and it was not unlimited gravy but unlimited chili sauce. After eating, we went to our dormitory and it makes me feel happy to meet all the people that we will be with for almost a month.

Life in Teaching @ Pasar Lama 1

Weeks of Teaching Yes, it’s me again… So this is the continuation of my practice teaching in SDN-SN Pasar Lama 1. I just want to tell you the summary of my practice teaching up to the evaluation day. Actually, I made 4 lesson plans and I used them all in teaching days in Pasar Lama 1. And in doing this lesson plan, I learned how to budget my time in teaching, what are the things that I should highlights most and give emphasis to my pupils. The pupils are all participating in our discussion especially when Dr. Fifi (My supervisor from ULM) unexpectedly visits me to observe in class and to know how do I teach. *My Class with my Mentor and Supervisor* So I was totally nervous by that time, I am so blessed because I usually settle everything before going to school. The day that Dr. Fifi observed me was 1st of February. As I said, my pupils are all active to participate with our discussion which is Adding Fraction. But I had the trouble of executing my lessons when it comes to co

Practice Teaching So guysss???? this is it!!!! This is the time that I really felt very nervous, weak and very tensioned. * Day of teaching Gymnastic.*  I had my first actual teaching last 30th of January, 2019 and that was Wednesday Morning. I was so nervous when I’m about to speak because there’s a big burden in me the big possibility that my students will not really understand me because I’m speaking English not Bahasa but I tried to learn a little Bahasa like duduk (sit down) and Bagus (Very good). *Discussing my Tematik Subject*  Before we talk about what happen in my teaching, I want to share what I did in my lesson plan. I used the lesson plan we are using in Philippines because the headmaster asked as to do the lesson plan that we are comfortable to do with. My first lesson plan is about the sub-team science and it is all about weather, season and climate. I used my laptop in creating my lesson plan and print it. I used explicit method in doing my lesson plan b

Signing Off… Halllooo!! Still me, Khryss.           So that’s it. This is the end of my journey which brings a lot of pain to me. There’s a lot of things that this experience taught me but please let me say some of it. This experiences taught me how to deal with other people with different nationality, religion and at the same time to learn others language. Also this gave me an opportunity to learn more on their language and teach them also about ours. I also had the chance to express my thoughts not only in words but also through my actions. It’s my pleasure to have the chance to experience their culture and was able to share our culture. I was able to hone my English communication skills and at the same time enhance their English communication skills. This practicum has a fast pace. I think two weeks are not enough for us to observe the teacher and another two weeks to enhance the English communication skills of our students because we know for a fact that pupils in Indonesia
