Reflective Statement

When I started this course, I was advice I will to keep taking notes about class. However, I did not think it would be that challenging and enriching for me. As I am taking my last year of university and I am enroll in a TESOL class, as part of my graduation process, the class and I were requested to keep journaling every class since that would help to the one of the last activities for the subject. However, in some part of the course I started to procrastinate some of the journals, until I realize I was missing more than 40% of the classes. That cause me difficulties when I was trying to keep on track with them.

On the other hand, this was the first time journaling in my life, so I was taking just some notes that it was considered relevant for me, nevertheless, when I was asked to start this blog using my journals and summarize my class it was a big issue, because I have assumed that short notes would be enough, but it was not. Due to so,  I  had to check the some classes again in order to have a clear understand about the topic I would share in each post. After my blog ended I could see that journaling can help me to sinter activities in my daily basic at work when needed.

In order to conclude I can said that journaling and creating a blog is not easy, but if I have a clear idea what I want to share with my reader, I can need to take clear noted. If I could grade myself for this activity I would give me an 8 since I know there are areas of opportunity to address.

 Feb 29 2024      As we have reviewed in previously post, we are dealing to understand how culture can act around the world at the time that we are in an ESL classrooms environments, since culture plays a strong role at the time that we are giving and received classes in ESL context. In this opportunity we will focus our attention on Kibun.   If we have not heard the word “Kibun” we can related as “mood”. Basically is the mood that a student’s shows at the time they participate. As teachers we need to know that students are not always comfortable or willing to participate in the class. According to Fisher (1991) in Japan “Kidun refers to how people feel or think about something” we can notice about this by taking a look at their no-verbal communication as: eye contact, behaviors, facial expressions, etc. On the other hand in Korea Kibun, refers more to “mood” and “feeling”.
