was teaching that class initial blends... /br/... /bl/... and /cl/....
came to the word, "blizzard..." i pronounced it /bliz3d/ confidently... suddenly, one boy corrected me, "it's /bliza;d/ teacher..."
i was... ek? my confidence level decreased... my mentor teacher was observing my teaching and learning activities my dear!
after the lesson end, i asked him to help me carrying my stuffs....
okay. he has a sister teaching at international school as ICT teacher... he uses English at home. ok.
returned to campus... with that low self-esteem condition.
shared with my beloved sister about that bitter experience of the day....
we checked the pronunciation together. ok. i was and am correct!!! oh dear...
^___________________^
yes. i did check for pronunciation before i enter my class. but for the word blizzard, i felt my pronunciation is correct, so i didn't check twice.
that class on Friday, once made me wanna cry in the second week. and in the third week, they behaved very kindly and sweetly and i detected attention seekers mode...
of 5 Rafflesia, 5 Alamanda and 5 Ixora... 5 Alamanda was the first caught my heart as a teacher trainee... 5 Ixora was the first trembled me with that feeling to cause tears rolling down on this skinny cheek... 5 Rafflesia - thank you for understanding my commands. ahah.
i hope all of them will behave for another one week.
i'll try my best my dear to make the learning as fun as possible. >.<
