My internship @ Link Education
Working
here at Link Education is a fun learning experience. Just because you work as
an intern, doesn’t mean you will be doing the routine stuff from beginning to
end. In fact a wide range of tasks awaits you. You may start off easy by doing various
researches and giving feedbacks to existing programs about its design,
structure or implementation. Later on you may even be asked to contribute any
games or activities that can be used along with the making of the teaching
materials.
Just
like playing video games, the difficulty increases as you move along and it
only gets harder and harder. If you still think the work is easy and not
challenging enough. Wait till you are asked to create a story using PowerPoint on
various topics such as reasons for forgetting homework and cross racial
marriage. The challenge here is to test your resourcefulness and creativity to
make the story as interesting and lively as possible to appeal to the students.
As
stated in the job description, there will be an opportunity for class
observations. If you are really lucky, you might even get to participate in the
class and help out rather than being a plain observer. But if you are really really
lucky (like me!), you might have a chance of leading a group of students and teach
the class yourself.
In a
nutshell, opportunities exist and there are a lot of them here at Link
Education. The only thing that matters is whether you are willing to step up
and take on these responsibilities.
