Hi!
First of all, actually, this is not the first blog I created. I have my personal blog as well as another teaching blog (in Bahasa Indonesia, not yet updated). Hopefully, I can update this blog more regularly. But for sure, I will often update this blog, at least once a week.
That's because this semester, I'm teaching an extensive reading course at PBI, UKSW. This is not my first time teaching an ER course. Years ago, when I first taught at PBI too, they trusted me with an ER course. Now that I'm back at PBI (after several years working in Magelang, managing schools), I'm trusted to teach this course again.
(You might want to check this post I have on Instagram. It was last year when I taught Extensive Reading at both PBI and Sastra Inggris program.)
What's new this semester is that we're still doing remote teaching and learning because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We used to have book clubs or conferences in the classroom. I would invite students to have an individual conference with me occasionally. And students would hand-write and submit book reports weekly. But now, here we are with this online teaching.
So, instead of asking our students to submit their hand-written book reports, we have decided to go online and use a weblog! So, here I am. With this new blog. But I have promised myself to regularly update this blog not only for the extensive reading course I'm teaching. I also plan to share ideas and stories related to my teaching. #fingerscrossed
Let me end this post by inviting you to watch this short clip introducing the Extensive Reading course we have at PBI, UKSW. Ciao!
