Week 9 Reading Reflection

This weeks reading content was very infromative, from which I learned many things. Although all of them can not be remembered, most of the pionts that touch my past and current experiences can be remembered better than others.

I like the idea that the teacher should make dicisions based on experience and intuition than knowledge. Mostof the science and knowledge that we have in the world, the milions of books that has been written on thousands of topics are written based on experience then they came to write them and then publish them and today they are called science or knowledge. The point is that dicision making by a teacher can be more effective if it is based on the experience than knowledge as the book indicates. Nevertheless, both complement each other if they are related to each other and used authenticly. I think this is very challenging stage in teaching for novice teachers, who have no experience of teaching in order to make dicisions for most of the things about teaching, but each day is a new experience that makes better the next day lesson.

Once In my country I wanted to make an eight month program of English for Business, I started cullecting some matterials, but I did not know from where to start what should be our curricula, besed on what criteria should I choose and arrange the matterials. After reading this book, I thaught that if I had access to these kind of books I would have been successful in making the program of English for Business. Finally, me and my brother who is an english teacher too made an eight month program as general English language course which my brother is using still in his language center in Kabul. This program is successful but has a lot of gaps and short comings. As soon as go back with all the knowledge, I will make it professionally effective program.
