REFLECTION:

After carried out this task, students were able to come out with the new ideas. It shown when I asked them to carry out the new task which were creating their own utopia island. Based on the supporting material that I gave to them, they were able to carry out the task successfully. But, there were still weaknesses in terms of using the correct language order. They still cannot differentiate when to use the tenses of present tense and the tenses of simple past tense. But overall presentation was so interesting.

CLASSROOM DISCOURSE ANALYSIS.

After about 3 weeks doing the report and task based learning project at Bestari

Technology College, I could analyze many things here. As we know, task based learning is

focused on the authentic language and on asking students to do meaningful tasks using the target

language. such tasks can include visiting a doctor, conducting an interview or calling customer

service for help. Assessment is primarily based on task outcome (in other words the appropriate

completion of tasks). Back to the classroom discourse analysis, my project would be more

focused on speaking skills and presentation skills. So, the most things that I could analyze were

based on the communicative skills. Let us analyzed the classroom discourse based on each

lesson.

Regarding the first lesson that already been done, I realized that students were actually

were able to use the language for the information successfully. Even though there were, certain

problem occurred for instance difficulty to find out certain vocabulary that suitable to be used

while doing the short role-play, I realized that they were actually struggling up to put their full

effort to make the presentation success.

Furthermore, I realized that students, they were having difficulties in pronouncing the

words correctly. Therefore, I thought my lesson on that day would actually will be more succeed

if I did an exposure to the variety of functions, genres, speech events and discourse types that

occur inside and outside the classroom. I thought that, I should be giving more time for them to

practice the target language. It was my mistaken also when I did not suppose to minimize their

opportunity to share their idea with the other group. Classroom research is one way for teachers

to monitor both the quantity and quality students output.

Language learners face the monumental task of acquiring not only new vocabulary,

syntactic patterns, and phonology, but also discourse competence, sociolinguistic competence,

strategic competence, and interactional competence. They need opportunities to investigate the

systematicity of language at all linguistic levels, especially at the highest level (Riggenbach,

1999; Young and He, 1998). Without knowledge of and experience with the discourse and

sociocultural patterns of the target language, second language learners are likely to rely on the

strategies and expectations acquired as part of their first language development, which may be

inappropriate for the second language setting and may lead to communication difficulties and

misunderstandings.

Regarding the second lesson, my reflection would be the lesson that carried out

successfully where students were able to do the task very well. They were not having so many

problems in terms on understanding the handout that I gave, the worksheet and the task that

asking them to come out with the new brochures. They were creatively created the brochures

with the information that already prepared by the teacher.

I realized that, this task based learning actually gave them an opportunity to show their

creativity and at the same time, it generated more new idea especially to the students nowadays.

However, the problem also occurred in this lesson. One problem was students had limited

experiences with the variety of interactive practices. I should allow them to more doing the

exercise on how to use the persuasive language. In this lesson, they were struggling to construct

the sentence correctly.

I thought by exploring more on the natural language use in authentic environment,

students might gain a greater appreciation and understanding of the discourse pattern associated

with a given genre and speech events in terms of setting and the contexts. When I taught them on

how to use the comparative and superlatives adjectives, they were able to do and answer the

questions successfully and they could practice to use it in their brochure presentation. Regarding

their communication skill, in the earlier meeting with them, I already told them that I did not

want to listen any language beside English language. Therefore, I thought my approach was

carried very well when I realized that they tried to communicate with each other in English.

However, sometimes, they could not change their mother tongue in English class.

Lastly, regarding to my lesson number three there were certain situations that I could

analyze here. In this lesson, I focused more on using language for the introduction. After carried

out this task, students were able to come out with the new ideas. It showed when I asked them to

carry out the new task, which was creating their own utopia island. Based on the supporting

material that I gave to them, they were able to carry out the task successfully. However, there

were still weaknesses in terms of using the correct language order. They still cannot differentiate

when to use the tenses of present tense and the tenses of simple past tense. Overall presentation

was so interesting. There were certain problems occurred when the task was carried out.

Sometimes students frequently addressed one another directly or spoke to the class as a whole.

Although students interacted more frequently especially in doing the discussion, they

were lacked towards conveying the ideas in a correct order of sentence. I as well, felt less certain

where to make sure that all the students did really understand my lesson. They might give good

feedback but at the same time I did not know how far they were in through my lesson. Students

showed they can fill the conversational but they may not and often not serve to promote the

correct understanding about all the contents matters.

Comparative Adjectives Superlative Adjectives

Comparative AdverbsSuperlative Adverbs

Modifying Absolute Termsto Adverbs

to Adjectives

to Learning EnglishNote:  The example constructions and explanations for comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs can usually be used for

either form of modifier.Comparative AdjectivesAdjectives are able to express degrees of modification, or comparison: (Zsa Zsa is pretty, but Elizabeth is prettier, and Angelique is the prettiest of all.) These degrees

of comparison are: 1) the positive, 2) the comparative, and 3) the superlative. The comparative is used for comparing two things and the superlative is used for comparing more than two things. Notice that the

word than frequently accompanies the comparative and the word the precedes the superlative. You are always correct in using more or most if

you are unsure about words with two or more syllables.Here’s how to form comparative adjectives (those that compare two things) 

Short adjectives

one-syllable adjectives—add “er”  smart = smarter, cold = colder 

EXCEPTION: If the adjective ends in “e”, just add “r”

large = larger

EXCEPTION: If the adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double the last consonant

hot = hotter

EXCEPTION: If the adjective ends in “y”, change the “y” to “i” and add “er”.

crazy = crazier; fluffy = fluffier

Long adjectives

two (or more)-syllable adjectives not ending in “y”—use “more” 

gifted = more gifted; stubborn = more stubborn

all adjectives of three or more syllables—use “more” 

glorious = more glorious; persistent = more persistent

Note: With some longer adjectives, you have the choice of using the er form or the word more. DO NOT USE BOTH TOGETHER! clever = cleverer/more clever (NOT more cleverer), pleasant = pleasanter/more pleasant (NOT more pleasanter), simple, narrow, and quiet are some more adjective that you can use both ways. There is no rule as to which adjectives can be used both ways in the comparative form, and no reference that I know of that lists them. If you are unsure, please look at a dictionary.Some adjectives and adverbs do not follow the rules. They have irregular forms of the comparative.

good = better bad = worse little = lessmuch, may, some = more

far = farther, further  

Superlative Adjectives

Short adjectives

one-syllable adjectives—add “est” smart = smartest, cold = coldest

EXCEPTION: If the adjective ends in “y”, change the “y” to “i” and add crazy = craziest; fluffy = fluffiest

EXCEPTION: If the adjective ends in “e”, just add “st” large = largest

EXCEPTION: If the adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double the last consonant

hot = hottest

Long adjectives

two (or more)-syllable adjectives not ending in “y”—use most gifted = most gifted; stubborn = most stubborn

all adjectives of three or more syllables—use most  glorious = most glorious; persistent = most persistent

Note: With some longer adjectives, you have the choice of using the est form or the word most. DO NOT USE BOTH TOGETHER! clever = cleverest/most clever (NOT most cleverest), pleasant = pleasantest/most pleasant (NOT most pleasantest), simple, narrow, and quiet are some more adjective that you can use both ways. There is no rule as to which adjectives can be used both ways in the superlative form, and no reference that I know of that lists them. If you are unsure, please look at a dictionary.Some adjectives and adverbs do not follow the rules. They have irregular forms of the superlative.

good = best bad = worst little = leastmuch, may, some = most

far = farthest, furthest  

 Other Notes, Hints, and Exceptions:Some adjectives already express an extreme form of comparison, for example unique or pregnant, so cannot be used in a comparative or a superlative form. Other adjectives of a similar nature (full, perfect) seem absolutely correct when used as fuller or most perfect.  The as ____ as phrase is used when expressing equality in a comparison. She is as smart as she is pretty.

He is as irrational as his father.

Less or fewer: Less is used usually when we are speaking of uncountable nouns (less love, less freedom), although less is the proper term to use for numerical or statistical expressions.  Notice how than is used in the sentences.

I have less than three hours left until curfew. We drove less than 200 miles the first day of vacation.

Florida has less snow than Colorado.  (Snow is an uncountable noun)

We use fewer when we are speaking of countable things (fewer apples, fewer troubles).

Shelly has fewer pairs of shoes than Mimi. Amy did fewer push-ups Tuesday.

Buffy has few bad habits.

More than : American English uses more than (in excess of, over a certain amount) in countable monetary or statistical numerical expressions

We are more than $10,000 in debt. The holiday traffic deaths were more than 600 this year.)

Over:  Over  is often used in expressions of time, age, height, and weight.

He is over fifty years of age. Bob waited over seven days for the letter from his lawyer.

The words real, right, wrong, and like ALWAYS use more or most.

He is more right than wrong.  (Incorrect: He is righter than wrong.) She is more like a pal than a mother.  (Incorrect:  She is liker a pal.)

 Most can be used with any adjectives expressing approval and disapproval to mean very. 

That was most kind of you to compliment my mother. You said a most unkind thing just now.

If you are comparing something to itself, don’t use the.  My roommate is most awake after supper.  (Incorrect:  My roommate

is the most awake after supper.) Florida is warmest in August.   (Incorrect:  Florida is the warmest in

August.).

Exercise 1

Holidays in Malaysia and the best places to go in Malaysia

Holidays in Malaysia offer a myriad or things to do and see; strange creatures dwell amongst the exotic plants of the jungles of Malaysia, and off the idyllic coastline there's another kind of exotic garden to explore: long, colourful ribbons of coral reef are amongst the best places to go in Malaysia. There are fantastic bays like Emerald Bay; more than just a tropical island, this region has impressive mountains and remote communities living unique cultural lives. But it's also a tropical island holiday, and so holidays in Malaysia allow for both exploration and languor.

Malaysia's humming and buzzing capital, Kuala Lumpur, and the jungles and reef ringed islands of Malaysian Borneo are so vastly different that holidays in Malaysia are guaranteed contrast. Most international flights arrive in Kuala Lumpur, so even if you're steering clear of the city life and heading into nature you still get to be surprised by the comparison. The main airport of the Sabah and Sarawak regions is at Kota Kinabalu, so most visitors start their exploration Malaysian holiday there.

Day One: Assuming some of the first day of your holiday in Malaysia will be taken up with setting in and poking around your hotel, take an afternoon/ evening stroll into Kota Kinabalu and look around the markets and restaurants and wander along to the ferry port. This is a port town rather than a beach town so leave your beach towel at the hotel.

Day Two: Bring your towel on the second day of your holiday in Malaysia and retrace your steps into town and the ferry port where you can get a ferry out to the islands of the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park. Visitors can stay overnight on the larger islands but Pulau Sapi, or Cow Island, one of the smallest of the five, is the quietest, and ideal for a day trip to swim, snorkel, hike though the rainforest, have your toes nibbled by tiny fish and your lunch stolen by an exotic monkey or giant monitor lizard.

Day Three: Trekkers who don't mind a bit of uphill work can conquer Mt. Kinabalu in two days -- it's the 20th tallest in the world and worth factoring into your holiday in Malaysia - but one day is enough to sample the pleasures of the Mt. Kinabalu National Park at its base, including the orchid gardens, Poring Hot Springs, and hopefully one of the park's biological pleasures -- a fleshy, flash smelling rafflesia plant, on which grow the world's largest flowers. Some resorts will be able to help you arrange transport up to the mountain and the jungles that spread all over it, and the easiest way to go is as part of a group.

Day Three: Fly to Sandakan. While Kota Kinabalu has the scenery, Sandakan has the wildlife, most fascinatingly the Orang utans at Sepilok and the turtles of Turtle Island Park, and one of the main reasons people want to take their holidays in Malaysia.

Day Four: The marine sanctuary of Turtle Island is an overnight stay. They can only accommodate very small groups, but in the evening you're there to welcome the mother turtles on to the beach as they lay their eggs, then able to release some of the babies from a clutch laid 60 days earlier. The accommodation is pretty basic, the food isn't breathtaking, but getting a kiss a baby turtle on its shell just after it's dug its way out of its nest before it scuttles down the beach to the sea is something indescribable and well worth planning a holiday in Malaysia around.

Day Five: The amazing and ancient turtles aren't the most famous local inhabitants of this region: the Old Men of Borneo, as the locals call them, are. Living under difficult conditions, the orang utan's habitat is shrinking, and as man encroaches we need to give them a little help. They get that at Sepilok, a conservation centre where orang utans are brought to be rehabilitated before being released into the wild. Visitors to the park get as close to them as they're able to anywhere, when these furry jungle men come in for a feed and put on impromptu shows on the ropes and platforms around the feeding platforms. Animal lovers take note -- it's possible to volunteer at Sepilok, but you need to commit quite a bit of time and organise it well in advance.

Day Six & Seven: Divers won't want to travel to this region without diving off Sipidan Island, which has some of the world's best dive sites, but explorers may be more interested in visiting the Mulu, Gomantong or Niah Caves, renowned karst structures, Kuching for a bit of the lively culture of the place and the orchid garden, or for a unique cultural experience, a traditional longhouse community, so these last days of your holiday in Malaysia should be used up according to personal interest

Task Based Learning Activity: Creating a Utopia Island.

Instruction: Design your own Utopia Island.

1. You are given a blank map. You will be assigned to create your own future utopia island in order to promote the place to the tourist. Based on your creativity and imagination, discuss in a group to produce a good map.

2. Decide which place would be going to be interested to the tourist to go? Such as the airport, the museum, the water park, the zoo and etc. Give name to each place.

3. Prepare a list of things like:

- The name of the country

-The way people dress

-The rules that should be followed in the country

-The custom

-The holiday

( create as much details as possible)

At the end of the task, each group has to make a short presentation. Discussion will be held in order to choose whose Utopia Island will work best.

Language focus: Use a simple future tense and transitional signal (therefore, furthermore, besides that, after that, finally) in order to describe the map.

Good luck!
