SUMMARY AND SUGGESTIONS

The purpose of the practicum is to give the student teacher a new experience for teaching in different country so that they can develop their teaching skills and pedagogy.
I became more confident with my English skill both in the teaching and daily conversation.
I have also gained more confidence when it comes to standing and speaking in front of my class, learn about language and culture of different country.
This program is really a helpful tool for students like me because on my own experience, I was able to meet new people, discover new things and get to experience another world

I have to say thankfully that this SEA Teacher Project is a very helpful program for student teachers.

I think that a lot of school doesn’t know about this program because the recieving university didn’t tell them. I suggest the sending university should have tell detail information to the school.
