4 Dec Final Session

Writing
Today is our last session and we go to class with mix feelings. We are both excited to deliver the last lesson and sad that it is going to be over soon. After almost two weeks in Yogya, all five facilitators have grown an attachment to her people, her culture and her cuisine.
Back in class, we share with our participants how to use Cloze Passage, Crossword Puzzle, even Charade to help expand our students' vocabulary for writing. The teachers certainly has a lot of fun trying out the lessons for themselves.
We truly respect and admire our participants corporate discipline. They are always on time if not early for our lessons. In addition, they also find the time to complete a couple of assignments that we have given them. This is on top of what P4TK has assigned them. In fact, the teachers also have to submit Scheme of Work and detailed Lesson Plans based on what they have learned from our sessions.
The facilitators are also touched by our participants' warmth and generosity. Inspite of their tight schedule, they actually find time to design a t-shirt for us and produce a movie clip to commemorate the TWA. At the end of the day, we feel that we have learned so much from our Indonesian teachers - passion, dedication and sincerity.
