The Seventh Day: Reflection

2086-07-27
The seventh day of my TPD Training started at 110:30 am as usual.
Today, we discussed about PBL. Our instructor, Mr. Gopal Prasad Basyal hd a video show at the very beginning. Then he had us discuss about the process of PBL classroom, its benefits and the challenges, in group.
After khaja break, Gopal sir presented about developing core skills (6 core skills as suggested by British Council).
We spent much time on PBL.
After all it was another fruitful day for me.

What I learned.

When I saw the man for the first time, I thought that he was one of the participants. When he introduced himself, "Is he able to run the training sessions?" was the question that was in my mind.
But when he took several sessions for SIX days, my mind had been fully occupied by "Don't judge a book by its cover".😀😀
It was the man, Mr.Homraj Khadka, a trainer, an instructor at Education Training Centre (ETC), Nepalgunj who had come to Palpa as a visitor trainer in ten day's TPD training for secondary level teachers of English.

What I learned from his classes:
1. use of ICT in ELT
2. Online learning
3. virtual class
4. creating online quize
5. using mobile apps; google classroom, google go, english speaking test, english listening practice etc.
6. several websites related to ELT
The next important thing that I am affected by is his positive attitude, punctuality, devotion to the profession and the belief that I must do something...
