QCE520 Being a responsible learner

Today tutorial was about Integrating grammar in unit of work. We were given a task as usual and as usual I was like , "oh another task". Somewhat I have begin the same cycle that I am usual in. A cycle that begins where I am confused and don't grasp the idea and then after a while you finally get the Eurika moment. Honestly, I like this cycle rather than the other one where I understand it in the inital stage and then as the lessons go on, I feel bored and feel as if i have not learnt anything. Don't get me wrong, I am not in the Eurika moment now and thank God for that. But somewhat I was starting in that track.

I am not sure if Prof TMASS has read my blog yet as I only send him the link a few minutes ago (Unless he has a computer with Internet connection as his brain). Anyways my group had finished a discussion on applying grammar teaching techniques when Prof TMASS came to inspire me. We were talking about linear grammar line and as I was speaking to him I started operating my creative juices and before I knew it somewhat the discussion grew to creating a grammar spiral map to teach. I was thrilled. I just learnt something new. It felt good. I like the feeling of creating something. This was what I felt during my enhance school experience. I was made to think. I like the process. There were nights which I would spend just planning and drawing inspirations. That is why I like my ESE rather than what I am spending in NIE. But my thought is changing now.I actual enjoy my QCE, Grammar and my lit classes where I am constantly thinking and processing. But of course not much through participating in class (due to time) as much as I learn through my reflective writings. I realised that I am responsible for my own learning in whatever way I feel I learn best.

QCE 520 is starting me of to think differently. I just realised that this is a problem that my CT warned me that I would have if I have to teach Grammar in class. I have to start thinking of various plans to teach Grammar for next year. It is a trigger for me and I have to think alot more. It is a good start and we shall see where it goes from here.
