6.4 The Challenges of Practicum

            I realized that every new experinces have their own challenge, it is because I am a girl who love the challenges thing, so it makes this practicum become unforgettable moment for me, even in the real situation of this program there are some unexpected things that I have to face. Then, I got some challenges things when I was practiced teaching in Teeratada Phitsanulok School, such as  :

1.      It was my first time to go abroad, its hard for me to adapt with the culture

2.      Its hard to go far away from my home

3.      I can not call my family, even I had put the money on the sim card, but the sim card was empty. Then I just use social media to interact with them

4.      I can not understand Thai language

5.      Its hard for me to adapt with the rules in the school, beacuse the school was very discipline

6.      Its hard for me to find halal food

7.      I was nervous when I have to teach the real student

8.      I was not believe with myself for the first time, but my friend encourage me to be more confident

9.      I was feeling envy with the students’ ability in English in Teeratada Phitsanulok School especially in mattayom class, because their English was very good

10.  Its hard for me to express myself, because I was afraid that the people around me can not accept it.

6.5 Overall Impression

            When I realized that I pass the test to follow this, I felt so nervous because it was my first time to go abroad. I was afraid that I will make a mistake. But I met a very kind supervisor Dr. Buncha that I call bapak, and his wife Ibu Kin, and also his daughter and son, Peera and Poom who made my day in Phitsanulok being so colourful. I never thoughht that Dr. Buncha choose Teeratada Phitsanulok School for my friends and I, because Teeratada was very great private school that I ever seen. Almost all student in Teeratada have the ability to speak in English, started from pratom students until the mattayom students, due to in mattayom 3 they must pass the IELTS test if they want to graduate from the school.

            Moreover, the rules in Teerada were so strict and its hard for me to adapt,but it was good, through the strict rules the students become more discipline. Thai people especially at Phitsanulok were so kind, they always smile to us and love to share the foods, because I love eating it becomes a good thing for me. It such a good thing when I back home and I realized that I ‘ve ever been in Thailand to do some positive things and get a lot of new thing and new experiences during this program

6.6 Suggestions for Future Improvement

            After finished this program, I got some suggestions that I hope can make this program better in future :

1.      Please check the schedule of the school that we want to practice teaching, if the school is in the test period, it will make the process of practicum become harder, because the school must be very busy

2.      Please make sure who will be the buddies of the student teacher, because if the buddies are the teacher of that school, I felt not good due to I thought that it will disturb them because they have a lot of activities that they have to do
