Reflection of week 7 tutorial
This week's tutorial was super-fun! This is because we were able to create a DLLM freely. Also, this would be great chance to introduce our creative side. We chose to use ToonDoo which was user-friendly and interesting. From that we created a comic strip and came up with questions for the learners to answer. We took quite a longer time than usual in considering what the question should be as we do not want to burden the learners, and also we wanted them to learn something useful.
Overall, I got to know what is DLLM a lot better after being able to create one and also I learned to consider the suitability of the DLLM to the learners that it may help them to learn some language features while in the same time not burden them.

Reflection on Week 6 tutorial
Previously, we were asked to present on Andrew LittleJohn article on material development. For week 6 tutorial, we were given an English textbook/course book to be evaluated and also we need to identify problems that we face when using the checklist.
We experience problems during our evaluation of the textbook. Although we have presented on the checklist, we still struggle with relating the criteria/features that can be found in the checklist to the textbook. So, we decided to evaluate it on our understanding, Also, there was the problem of different opinions between group mates. Thus, we decided to have a final say in every different opinions.
In this week's tutorial, i learned to accept other views from my group-mates and also to appreciate their opinions.

Reflection on week 3 Tutorial
For this week, we had to answer four questions, which is based on Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). Before we proceed in answering the four questions given, we had a group discussion on how we should answer the questions. Our first problem was understanding the questions itself, we got confused especially question C) Locate principles supporting CLT within the KBSM English Language Curriculum and F1 English Language. However, after consulting other group members, we were able to understand the questions better. Then, we decided to divide the questions where I would take on question C), so that it would not consume our time because later we would explain it to one another.
Personally, I had to re-read last semesters notes on CLT, so that I would see the flow of what I have learnt about CLT last semester and connect to what I learnt this semester. It would seem that what I have learnt last semester for CLT is little compared to what I learnt for this semester. This semester, we looked at the communicative competence which have different components to it. Thus, it was challenging, it terms of understanding the different components of communicative competence. However, with the help and guidance of our lecturer, we were able to comprehend the different components of communicative competence.
After our tutorial class where we have discussed the four questions, it seems that we did not answered the questions correctly. So, after the discussion, we redo and manage to answer them correctly. It was really a challenging task, however, because of that task, we were able to better understand CLT.
