Final reflection on ES2007S

Although I know the day will come to me when the module ends at the end of this semester, I don't know it can be so fast. Suddenly, I realize that this module ends and I will have to be back to China in a few weeks' time. Backwards the past time in ES2007S, I really learned a lot and enjoyed a lot with Brad and my dear classmates. Thank you ! :-)

I've done a lot interesting work this semester, like peer teaching, resume writing, big project. This class is really interesting and interactive. I spent lots of time on it and in return, I learned a lot.

In our peer teaching, I had a good time with Leo and Neil. To be the first peer teaching group, we have no model to copy. We have to search material on internet and borrow books from HSSML. It is the first time that I seach among so large amount of English information. Finally, I got used to it and finished my presentation on business emails. It is the first time that I make presentation in English. To tell the truth, I was really nervous at that time and all I want to do was to find the right words and to speak out. It was a rather tough time. But I managed it. I learned how to search information in English, how to plot the teaching section, how to make effective presentation slides, how to make effective presentation, how to prepare for a teaching lesson. Above all, I experienced the feeling to be an English teacher. :-) However, there is a pity for me. As the first group, we failed to take the delicious feed (usually chocolate) to share with you. Thank you for your different kinds of delicious food after each peer teaching! :-)

Project:
Teamwork is really emphasized in this class. After recess week, I started my project with Sheila and Elin. We had a great time during this process. We wrote interview questions, survey questions and conducted interviews( then I fell in love with talking with the officals in NUS, so I made another appointment with OSA to share my experience in NUS. Hehe~). Although it was really a tough time to call as more survey participants as we could, we enjoy the process, because we are in a best team BES. After that, we started writing our proposal. I really improved my writing skills a lot, always inspired by Elin and Sheila. They are really kind and helpful. I've experienced so many 'first time' :first time to do English survey, to do English interview, to write English proposal, ..... Effective communication has a clearer meaning to me.

Resume:
Besides, I also learned how to write resume and job application letter. Brad and my peers helped me revise my resume, and I really learned a lot, and became enjoying the  English words. After that, we acted as interviewers and interviewees in class. That was really interesting. I got to know how interviewer and interviewee would think in a interview.

In all, I enjoy this class very much. It is really a harmonious class. It is the most interesting class among all the modules I take in NUS. Thank you, guys!
