When I first entered the class of Teaching the Language of Drama this semester, I had in my mind that this class might be as difficult or more difficult as Teaching The Language of Short Stories. I was a little bit anxious and nervous to get started with the subject as literature is definitely not my favourite subject.
During the first class what Dr. Edwin did was a kind of post-mortem o Teaching The Language of Short Stories. He gave us some reflectional questions on the previous subject to recall how much that we have learned or perhaps how much did we actually remember.
After completing the questions, then I realized that I don’t remember that much of the previous subject and I begin to wonder what the connection of these two subjects is. After the class ended, we discussed among us about the questions and it turned out that many of us did not remember much also. Well, it is obvious that we study just for the examination purpose, not the real life purpose. Perhaps after this we need to pay more attention to the lectures and make sure that we do remember the facts for real life usage, not just for the sake of examination.
