Name: _Felicia Schmutz____________
Activity
Read a few books on English language
teaching and intercultural communication
Attend the Annual Thailand Conference (in
Chiang Mia, Thailand).
Attend the English Language Teaching
International Conference at the University
of Macau in Beijing, China.
Write refective journals.
Objective
Reading books on English language
teaching, specifically on pedagogical
techniques and strategies will better equip
me for teaching. Also, reading books on
intercultural communication helps me
better understand and effectively
communicate with my students.
By attending this conference I will be able
to learn from language teachers that have
more experience than I with teaching in
Asia.
By attending this conference I will learn
about the innovations in English Language
Teaching and Learning.
Writing relective journals after completing
some of my lessons will help me better
understand how I can improve on my next
lessons.

Attend the Fifth Asian Conference on
Language Learning in Osaka, Japan.
By attending this multidisciplinary
conference I will learn about ways to
enhance my students' learning.

Design creative materials for five different
lessons.
By designing my own materials, I have the
opportunity to practice being creative when
making more materials. Also, this benefits
my students and myself since I can use
these materials in my own class.
After having formed great relationships
with my colleagues, I hope we can share
ideas and learn from each other. More
importantly though, I hope to have a
mentor (an experienced teacher) from
whom I can learn helpful strategies for
teaching and managing the class.
