The Events I’ll Be Talking About
GCW and Summer trip to Maekok River Village – Language and Emotion
WWW Marine Biology – Perception and Reason
Maekok River Village
Went on this trip to build a school and teach the kids English
Gave the kids an opportunity to learn English from English speaking students
Went to twice, once over GCW and once over summer with a group of friends
Continuing…
Why did I choose this? Language – Not everyone on this
trip is Thai, creating a language barrier between the two
Emotion – A bond with the children was created which is why we came back the second time
What does this say about me? Language – Increasing my
communication skills and cultural awareness
Emotion – The feeling of being bonded with the kids wanting to give the opportunity again.
WWW Marine Biology
Went to the similans to do community service and dive
The community service we did was picking up trash from the bottom of the ocean
Became an advanced diver and learnt more about the environment under water
Continuing…
Why did I choose this? Language: Again, there was a language barrier due to the
fact that you were under water and communication using speech is impossible
Perception: Students perception of the ocean and the teacher is different. Why does this say about me?
Language: Enhances my knowledge on language. Perception: Learnt to navigate underwater increasing my
underwater navigating skills.
