The assignment is to teach us to develop our writing skills to be extra organised and extra creative. Besides that, we also have to learn the correct way of applying the APA style of referencing and citation technique.
Reflection: Before this i was writing essays only based on the content. Now I am learning to write essays based on a style which is more organised with the format of the writing. Besides that, now I had also learned to plan my writing by drafting a pre-writing before writing the essay.
This assignment tests our listening skills. We are to concentrate and extract the information from the recording. From the extracted information, we have to answer the questions given.
Reflection: This assignment could be easy at times however sometimes it is hard to retrieve the information from the voice recording played. This is because some of the information from the recording is indirect. However this lesson really helped me improve my listening skills in a way that i could listen and interprate the information need both at the same time.
We were required to create a blog in a group based on a location or an ethnic culture in Malaysia. The blog has to have four criteria which are people, food, activities and architecture. We were then required to explain and present our work through the blog.
Reflection: We went all the way to Malacca for this very assignment. The trip was interesting as we got to see the sight of Malacca and the wonderful history that it has to the place. The topic that we chose for this very assignment is the topic on the Baba And Nyonya culture in Malacca. I gained a lot of information and knowledge about the culture through this assignment. This assignment also helped me in improving my presentation skills.
Oral presentation (video format)
For our oral presentation, we were required to group together to produce a video based on either a short story or a scene or even a play. It is to test on our pronunciation and expression skills. By acting in the video, we can express our emotions and feeling through the tone of out voice and the expression on out faces or through body language.
Reflection: Based on the assignment, my group members and I decided to produce a video based on the life of a university student. The video consist of five scenes where each scene shows the problems we university students face in our daily routine. This assignment is very fun as we get to work together and express our feelings throughout the whole time filming the video.
