Hi everyone. Today's PPG 315 was taught by Pn.Norlida. The good news is, the lecture notes under Pn.Norlida can be found at the photocopy shop beside Sendut I library. Next Friday is the deadline for Language Games Project.
Remember, we have to submit the practicum forms to PPIP by Friday, 29th February. I hope everybody's found his/her school already. Submit your forms to Cik Rusnani.
Those who are absent from Dr.Rozinah's lecture yesterday, please be informed that we have to present our projectwork on Week 13, before Maulidur Rasul. That means either on 17, 18 or 19 March. No extension date will be given as our lady lecturer will be leaving on an airplane on 21 March.

LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT
Pn.Norlida gave us the Project assignment for literature today. It's a 6-persons project, and we have to do 3 lesson plans for an assigned topic -either short story or poem.
Sorry folks, those who are absent will have to accept the leftover topics (mostly poems Form 1-Form 5) as the short stories have been grabbed by the 44 of us attending her class today. Each literary text (e.g The Pencil) is assigned only for 2 groups. The assignment is quite complicated and needs good collaboration among the group members.
Those who are absent today, please get the 6-paged question & sample from Pn.Norlida at her office.
We had a short open-book quiz today. No lecture. The Literature Project's dateline is Week 15, before our exams. Good luck.

DATELINE
Mayday is near, folks.
Pity those who are still hunting for schools for practicum. Good luck. I'm told that some schools do not want to take in more than 3 trainees so those groups of 4 & 5 have a tough time finding a school that will accept all of them. Remember the dateline to summit the form to PPIP is Friday, 29th February.
Anyway, keep in mind about these assignments:
I KNOW SOME ARE CONFUSED AS TO WHICH WEEK WE ARE IN, SO I DID A DOUBLE CHECK AND REALISED THAT DR.LEONG, DR.ROZINAH & PN.NORLIDA HAVE PUT OUR CNY BREAK AS WEEK 8 BUT DR.FONG SKIPPED THIS WEEK IN HIS OUTLINE, THEREFORE MAKING WEEK 8 AS 11-15/2 FOR PGT436E
(Check your course ouline for each subject if you are not sure)
– HTML (QMT)
Week 11 (29/2)
– Project ELT games ( PPG 315)
Week 12 (6/3) -

Okay folks, found this at the Star today. (I decided not to waste money buying printed news due to the election fever, hehehe)
Our convo is due in August 2008.
So ladies, you know what to do. Grab your tailor or your favourite boutique and get that 'baju' you want for the special day. Same oes for the gentlemen.

USM postpones convocation due to polls
PENANG: The Universiti Sains Malaysia convocation scheduled for March 8 has been deferred to March 22 due to the general election.
USM vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dzulkifli Abdul Razak said the second part of the 37th convocation, meant for its foreign graduates, had to be rescheduled because March 8 was polling day.
He said the USM’s 38th convocation would be held in August.
Prof Dzulkifli said six senior citizens taking up USM’s Life-long Education Programme would also be graduating this year.

Half the class must have gone school hunting today, or catching up on beauty sleep after last night's kiasu firecrackers burning sessions :P
Dr.Leong's class has more empty chairs today than ever before. I barely made it myself as I showed my pretty face to the school's Penyelia Petang this afternoon, hence the specially well-dressed Aliya in DK L today. Anyway it was a very short lecture - about 6 slides only. Hmmmm...
Anyway, how was your school visit?
Faizal called me today and decided to change course to another school nearer to USM. Please update me with the latest school that you are going to for your practicum, ok so that I can post the new list here.
Is there anyone (other than Dev) who is still without a practicum partner? Deven, if you are reading this, I suggest that you consult Dr.Tan and Pn.Fadzilah (your PGT303 tutor) before Feb 28; otherwise you might have Dr.Shaik Abd Malik after you for doing your practicum alone in the school.
Please remember that the 9-10 periods of teaching are for English subject. Not Multimedia, k.
Dr.Tan or whoever becomes your tutor will not observe you teaching multimedia.
So if you are smart, no need 'clever-clever' tell the schools that you are minoring in multimedia la.. if they happen to ask, only then you inform them that you are taking that subject as a tiny eeny mini minor...hehehe.
Just tell them that you are TESOL teachers and that you are trained to teach English language in Form 1-5 in secondary schools.. that should ensure that you'll get eitehr Form 1, 2 or 4.
I heard that some schools already have 'special assistants' in May and June to decorate the multimedia lab.. aiyoh, what happened, gals?
Are we to teach Ko.K? Not 100% sure but I think we have to take part. Heard from my school that the practicum teachers are teaching Ko.K too so looks like there's no escape for us. Again 'clever-clever' laaa.
Have a good weekend. Do recharge your batteries and God willing, see you all on Monday.

PRAY THEY'RE NOT OUR FORMS
Oh, I forgot to mention this earlier 'coz I thought by now most of us would have known about it. Anyway, before the CNY hols, Ellice rceived a phone call from Kem.Pelajaran at Putrajaya, informing her that 30 of PKPG TESOL Prestasi form for 2007 have been rejected. These forms will be returned via post to Ellice (Regina's house address) because they are incomplete (signature or 'cop mohor' missing). We'll have to send back those forms with the required corrections. This is certainly affect our future salary, etc. We have already informed Dr.Tan and Pn.Norlida about this problem and they are also waiting for the 'mysterious' bundle.
As of today, I have not heard from Regina that she has received the forms from Putrajaya. Well, let's just say that when my new IC application was approved, it took about 1 month for the letter to arrive from the great city. So, like it or not, we have to wait for the postman, and see to whom these forms belong to. They could be altogether 30 from our class or some belonging to our juniors too.
I'm praying mine is not among the returned ones...

PLEASE, HOW MANY HAVE READ THE POSTS
Just want to know how many have read the posts in this blog. It is difficult to meet up and pass information as some of us may not attend certain lectures due to personal reasons. So please click on the Comments section below, follow the instructions and write your name. If there is nobody reading, it’d be a waste of time updating this blog with the latest information.
NUMBER OF PERIODS TO TEACH DURING PRACTICUM
This is the latest news from Dr.Tan. We have to teach between 9-10 periods per week during practicum. Please show the letter to the school that you want to do your practicum. Remember, 2-5 persons for each school. If the school has no more places for you, then you'd have to search for other schools nearby. If there are 4 of you, then you’d have to do 2 researches and hand-in 2 separate reports of your kajian tindakan. If the school accepts you, then you should ask the school to certify on the last form of the 4-paged letter. Return the completed forms to Cik Rusnani, who is in charge of our practicum at PPIP ground floor office (do not disturb Ms. Wei Yin) by 29th February 2008. For further information, you may consult Dr.Tan herself.

GET READY FOR PRACTICUM
Welcome to the PKPG TESOLIAN blog. I got tired of having to log into Friendster so I'm opening a blog for us. Be free to update this blog with the latest news and gossips (psst, psst) anytime by emailing me, ok. Secrecy ensured, hehehee.
Well to kick start this blog, here's the latest news about our Practicum.
Siew Yee, Regina and yours truly met Dr. Tan Kok Eng this morning and she told us to get ready for practicum. Please get your LM form from Cik Rusnani of PPIP (downstairs counter) on Tuesday. Please see only Puan Rusnani. DO NOT disturb Wei Yin, the Chinese clerk as PPIP has reshuffled the duties for the clerks after the CNY holidays. We are to hand in the LM form to the school we wish to do our practicum.
The date is confirmed.
We start our practicum on 28th April 2008, Monday.
I repeat, 28th April 2008 that's immediately after our final exams.
We're doing 6 weeks of practicum- 4 weeks before the school break, then another 2 after the break.
You may do your practicum 2-5 people per school, but that will depend on how many the school is willing to accept. Also we still have to carry out the Kajian Tindakan in the school. If there are 2 of you in a school and you are originally from different groups of K.Tindakan, you may choose to do one research. However, if there are 5 of you in a school, the maximum number of members for a research is 3. That means 2 groups of researchers conducting 2 different research in the same school.
Bad news for those who are planning to go back to your hometown.
This year, we are quarantined in Penang Island. We can only do our practicum on the island. So those who are planning to stay at the hostels, please apply for the rooms with UPPP before our exams, ok.
The lecturers who will be invigilating us are : Dr.Tan, Dr.Leong, Pn.Norlida, Dr.Mildred, and Dr.Kabilan.
