Internship reflection:
Three months of internship passed very
quickly and there is no doubt that these three months are very fruitful. I
still remember that my personal goal in this internship is to know more about
Special education needs (SEN) students. Not only did I have the opportunity to
plan lessons for various courses, I also got to involve in the lessons at
different schools The most unforgettable experience is when I was assisting in
a communication skills course, there was a student who cannot express himself
very well and may not seems as bright as other students, but given enough
guidance and encouragement, he came to believe in his own abilities to solve the
problems we gave him in class. During this period assisting in class, I
discovered that many students actually have a lot of potential and I am amazed
by them.
Maybe you will ask three months is quite
short and what I have learnt? Indeed, I will not deny that there is still a
long way for me to understand SEN students, but it raises my awareness about
SEN students or the educational system in general. Education and especially SEN
students will continue to be issues that I care about. Lastly, working here is
a pleasurable experience with close ties between colleagues with guidance from
them.
