informing the students that the topic they are going to learn is very interesting and

important. Thus, by showing the realia. Realia is actual objects brought to a class to

serve as aids to learning. For example, an apple brought to class, could be seen,

touched, smelt, tasted and then spoken and written about. Realia may include such

things as photographs, toys, articles of clothing. According to Robert M. Gagne (1916-)

in his book Essentials of Learning For Instruction (1975), forwarded a theory concerning

how people obtain information during learning process. According to his learning theory,

stimuli from the external environment will activate the nerve system in the sensory

organs. This information will be interpreted in the short term memory component,

encode, transit and store in the long term memory in conceptual form. Based on the

learning process explained above, Gagne (1977) briefly explained eight types of

learning. One of that stated in the set induction, that is stimuli response learning, is

related to stimuli which have been planned and stimulated with individuals response.

For example, the teacher display the real object for pupils to read out it name, is group

under the stimuli response learning.

According to Piagets opinion, adaption covers two forms one of them is assimilation

and the other is accommodation. Both of these are interrelated and complementary in

the formation process of overall cognitive learning, stated in while writing activity I did

brainstorming on healthy and unhealthy food. In this activity pupils gathered adjectives

that associated with the food. I also demonstrated several sentences using simple

present tense and how to add adjectives before the noun. This activity was to enhance

pupils vocabulary such as green, brown, hairy, and so on. According to Piaget, learning

is a change in behaviour. New and complex learning ought to utilize accommodation

process to change the individuals cognitive structure so as to adapt to the need of the

new and complex learning situation. As the accommodation process depends on the

individuals intrinsic motivation, teacher ought to encourage pupils so as to involve

themselves actively in the learning activities.

The cognitive perspective of learning represents a simple easy and applicable method

of teaching a language and more so since the objective of any form of teaching is to

bring about learning. There are various activities that are stimulating to the mind and

the knowledge acquired can be applied in the learning of the English language. The

teaching of the English language uses a lot of stimulation, therefore the act of

experiencing the knowledge, being aware of the stimuli and the ability to draw

judgement based on the stimuli is referred to as cognition. There are certain activities

that encourage this kind of cognitive skills in children. Language skills are components

in cognitive development. Activities such as listening and speaking, reading, writing and

grammar are crucial in helping children develop these skills. Reading helps to build

vocabulary and increase verbal ability. As such the On my post writing, I asked pupils to

construct simple sentences independently by looking at the picture. This activity was to

ensure pupils to understand on how to write creative simple sentences using simple

present tense and adjectives included. These activities cultivate cognitive skills. For

closure, I did problem solving learning it was riddle. Problem solving learning is a

learning through thinking process example to think a way to solve the riddle ( what is the

king of fruit). To answer this question pupils should have knowledge and they have to

recall their previous knowledge about fruits.

The two strategies that involved in the lesson were pupil-cantered strategy and

teacher-cantered strategy The pupil-cantered strategy focuses on the pupils playing an

active role in the learning process. According to this teaching strategy, pupils are

encouraged to take active part in the classroom and learning. The teacher on the other

hand plays the role of a facilitator by guiding the pupils to learn individually or in small

groups. As such most of the learning time is allotted for activities involving the

pupils.This strategy is very much in line with the objective of the KBSR syllabus design.

The methods of teaching that are suitable for pupil-cantered strategy are individual

learning, group activity, inquiry-discovery, discussion, brainstorming, stimulation , role-

play and problem-solving. Under this strategy pupils are encouraged to give their

opinions through discussions and are a two way interaction between the pupils and theteacher. This strategy also emphasizes on the development of pupils potentials and

formative tests are carried out to identify pupils weaknesses in learning It also

encourages activities in small groups which have proven to be an effective method of

learning as the organization of group activities are according to individual differences.

Under teacher centred strategy, the teacher plays a primary role. Accordingly, the

teacher control all the teaching and learning activities in the classroom. The teaching

would normally base on expository teaching model as teaching approach, and theprobable choice of the methods of teaching would be whole class teaching,

demonstration, lecture, story telling, the teacher will talk a lot, while the students will sit

quietly and listen a lot. I used this strategy because; I have to demonstrate to them on

how to write the correct sentences using present tense and adjectives.

Conclusion, the teaching and learning process is undeniably influenced by many factors

such as learning theories, teaching strategies, individual differences and learning styles.


11/15

As such, it is important for teachers to be able to identify all these factors when planning

a lesson and implement them when carrying out the lesson. Incorporating all these

factors in the teaching and learning process will make the lesson more interesting,

effective and as a result motivate the students learning.

TASK 3

As a teacher, plan a lesson is not too difficult, but the priority is how to control the

class during teaching and learning process. During my teaching and learning

process the strengths that I can said, was all the students loved the realia

because I used the real object, such as I brought apple, orange and junk food.

Realia according to Nesamalar Chitravelu, Saratha Sithamparam, Teh Soo

Choon (2000) ELT Methodology Principles and Practice. Penerbit Fajar Bakti

Sdn. Bhd, realia is actual objects brought to a class to serve as aids to learning.

For example, an apple brought to class, could be seen, touched, smelt, tasted

and then spoken and or written about. Realia may include such things as

photograph, toys, articles or clothing. My students loved the realia very much,

because I gave the fruits to those who can answered my questions with the

correct answered. This can motivate them to communicate effectively in the class

during teaching and learning process. Actually my students were low proficiency

level, so I need to search their interest. Another strengths that I can say is, when

I did brainstorming, the students tried their best to answer even though they

cannot spell the words for example carbonate drinks, chocolate, French fries.

The students gave so many examples. The weaknesses that I can stated here

were, when I used computer on my pre writing, It didnt work. The LCD was not

working so, to solve this problem I had to call my students group by group so all

of them can watch, in the same time the class was so noisy. Another weakness

that I faced during my teaching and learning was I have to translate all the

English words, but the strengths when I translate the words my students can

faster understand the meanings or words taught. Another problem that I was

faced was when post writing activity, I paste the sentences on the whiteboard

and asked them to read after me, after that I cut all the sentences became words

and no more sentences and I asked them to paste it on the whiteboard according


13/15

to the sentences taught, but only the same pupils came to do the exercise, so to

solve the problem I drilled them so many times. At last many of my pupils can

write correct present tense on singular and put correct adjectives before nouns.

From my point of view if we want to improve the quality of teaching and learning

process, the priority is the classroom environment, if the class clean and the

notice board are attractive the students are eager to learn. The teachers also

have to wear attractive attire to make the students interested to learn, this is

because if we wore not proper baju kurung the students will get bored so early

rather than we wore stylist baju kurung with the stylist shawl nowadays pupils

are more interested in what their teachers wearing because teacher as a role

model to them. I like to be a teacher in whatever situation because I want to

contribute something to my next generation.
