Reflective Reflection In English Class

In two previous reflective journals, I covered reflections on learning process and teacher behavior in my English classes. Now, in today’s class as before I reflect on the aforementioned, but the class held in the laboratory and main aim is focus on listening skill. The class provides one computer (with a headphone) for each student (10 students). Simply put, there are 10 computers for 10 students. The lesson covers contemporary, a real world topic that is relevant to students’ lives.
