For this second learning of Language Art, I felt very excited because as for me, it will be more fun and joyful learning and activities about songs and poetry for the children. Before this, my classmates and I had learned about theories and more about childrens literature in the previous semester. The first thought I have was this new semester of learning Language Art will be more fun and we can do exciting activities like sing the children song with act. So, the first lesson was the whole class discussed about literature and childrens literature and what is the importance of songs and poetry for the Primary ESL classroom. What I have viewed was, there were so many definitions and meaning on literature but to make it simple, it is about learning other culture, information, issues and ideas of people. As long as it can be read, it is literature. As for me, the importance of songs and poetry in the primary ESL classroom is very important part that I should know and focus on because I will become an English teacher that will teach my students all the songs and poetry in literature subject. I should know the importance and make sure my future students will get the benefits of learning literature.

Madam Zuraihan told us about the preparation before coming to the class. So, we did come prepared with all the materials about the second lesson which we discussed about the literature, the aesthetic development and going through the KSSR and KBSR document standard. The moral value is we can share all the things and materials we had collected to others and also discuss about it. In fact, everybody took part in the discussion because all of us had prepared and it was a good thing.

There are certain groups that presented about poetry with different genres. Those are epics, dramatic poetry, limericks and haiku. All of these were explained well by the presenters and it made me clear of these topics. The characteristics of all those genres of poetry confused me but after reading through it again, I can understand better.

Madam Zuraihan advised us on the slides presented by the Epic group. So, I take this seriously because a good slides is very important in teaching in order to attract the audience looking at the slides by just looking or they really looking and get what the points are. So it is very important in doing the good presentation and slides.

This week lesson seems very enjoying and fun because we are learning about the nursery rhymes and the importance of it. The importance of nursery rhymes is very good and as a future teacher, I need to know about it. The importance like, for their language and social development, I need to make sure that I teach and succeed in develop all the skills among the students.

There are many examples of nursery rhymes form different culture. During the lesson, each of us sang our own lullabies and songs that we have learned or originated from our parents and grandparents. At first, I feel very shy and do not want to do it but after seeing my friend were able to sing with microphone, it encouraged me to try and sing in front with microphone. I am not a good singer, but I will try to sing confidently. I think I need to practice singing confidently, so I can teach my students and they will have faith in me.

Completing presentation with my group, it was very difficult because my group have one male member. Eventually, we have managed completing the task and presentation together. Group work is very important as we need to prepare the whole things together and discuss the topic given.
