Diary: Session 2

In the 2nd session we discussed about what's learning, the distinction between class & natural learning, what's the role of the teacher and so on…

Learning is a process. Just getting information doesn't make a process. We have to perceive, explore and retrieve. this is the process of learning. This process is experienced differently; for example inductive/deductive processing, bottom-up processing, top-down processing, dec-pro processing…

We can say that dec-pro processing is learning & pro-dec processing is acquisition. We can link it to Krashan's hypothesis: ACQUISITION/LEARNING hypothesis. He is in favour of acquisition, so he believes in the pro-dec processing.
Now we make a distinction between acquisition & learning:

learning is consciously as students study the rules of the language and listen to their teachers explain the grammar rules…

Diary

Teaching and being a teacher at the first view seems very easy and everyone things of it as an easy task to handle with. I, myself was in the same mistake as well. But when I started teaching ,I found out that how it would be hard to manage. I felt disappointed and I thought that I cant be a teacher anymore. I learned that just having the name " teacher " isn't enough; teaching is an art. A teacher should be an artist. I' m very energetic , it is necessary but not sufficient. A teacher should be a manager, a very good and professional manager , in order to guide the class through the right way to the goal . just writing a plan isn't usefull. You know, a teacher should be a psychologist at first. s/he should know her/ his sts , their emotions, .chatacteristics

love is GOD

;Oh , give us pleasure in the flowers today
And give us not to think so far away
; As the uncertain harvest

Keep us here

.All simply in the springing of the year

.Oh , give us pleasure in the orchard white , like nothing else by day , like ghosts by night

.And make us happy bees , the swarm dilating round the perfect trees

,And make us happy in the darting bird
,That suddenly above the bees is heard
,The meteor that thrusts with needle bill
.And off a blossom in mid-air stands still

, For this is love and nothing slse is love
,The which it is reserved for GOD above
.To sanctify to what far ends he will , but which it only needs that we fulfill
