ASASI TESL INTERVIEW
Hello owlies,
seems spm result is upcoming, do you guys know what is tesl course? if you guys planned want to take tesl course so here i really wanna share with you guys some tips for tesl interview.
so if you guys nak tahu tesl tu apa. you have to read it until the end okay?
TESL is Teaching English as Second Language. you guys maybe end up jadi lecturer or translator. so apa yang i nak bagitahu, i am really interested in english. that does not mean i am good in english but i really want to learn english. so masa dalam upu tu i isi uitm-tesl as my number one choice. so long short story, i got for the interview. masa tu i tengah kerja, so masa lunch i check la whether i selected for the interview or not. i am very lucky because i got it. oh yeah, i interview masa 2017 so maybe ada tips i yang dah tak valid.
if you guys want to apply for tesl course, your spm result must got at least A solid for english and credit for the other subjects. masa trial spm i only got A- for my english lepastu bila check, A- tak layak untuk ambik tesl. fuh, upset gila but nasib baik tu result trial spm. so masa spm i buat elok elok and got A solid. Alhamdulillah.
tapi kan, ada banyak sungguh rintangan masa i nak pergi interview tu. my interview was on sunday, i cannot remember the exact date. but, a day before the interview, my favourite kpop girlgroup, red velvet came to malaysia for fanmeeting. i am really obsessed with red velvet which i made a firm decision to went to the fanmeeting even though i had the interview for the next day. so, i went home late that night and with no sleep and proper preparation i went to the interview. i interview for asasi tesl dekat uitm dengkil.
cuba teka i dapat ke tak? hahaha confirm lah tak dapat because i messed up during the interviews lol.
so guys, dont be like me. if you truly loves english, do the best.
even though i am not part of the tesl community right now but i really want to share some of the tips. i hope it will help you guys.
1. my interview started at 8.00 a.m so guys don't be late. please be punctual.
2. dressed formally. they want us to look like an educator so dress like a teacher and confident about your looks. you can wear baju kurung or maybe corporate shirts. wear a leather shoes. macam cikgu cikgu or corporate person selalu pakai tu.
3. there will be 2 hours writing test and also a 10 minutes interview. you guys have to have wide general knowledge. i got "disadvantages of mobile phone" which is quite hard. i cannot think the disadvantages or even the elaboration. i told you, i messed up.
4. the paper consists two parts. part one is reading comprehension and the other one is essay (2 hours)
for 250 words and another 15 grammar questions.
5. after the written exam is over, you guys will heading to the room which is the interview session will take place. please please please tengok dekat mana mana dorang akan tampal senarai nama and tengok la nama you nombor berapa. kalau nombor awal awal tu jangan lah merayau mana mana, duduk je luar room tu diam diam. practise for the interview. macam i haritu, my name started with 'E' so dalam nombor 8 jugalah nama i. trust me, tak lama pun interview tu. oh yeah, interview tu sorang sorang ye. so please alert when they called out your name.
6. if they have called out your name, enter the room with right leg. pray a lot. serahkan you punya certificate and please do sit if the interviewer told you to do so. remember, they are the person who will determine your future. put all your things tepi kerusi and jangan pegang apa apa dekat tangan and don't play with your fingers or strictly don't cross your legs.
7. intro yourself. the longer you talk about yourself, more better. nanti dia takkan tanya soalan banyak banyak. you can talk about your experience masa di sekolah dulu. maybe you pernah masuk public speaking or you're a debater. feel free to boast about yourself because you're allowed to do so. just tell them everything.
8. don't forget to give your sweetest smile. it can hides your nervousness.
9. convince them you want this course because you are passionate, not because you want to improve your english.
10. avoid political issues.
interviewer might question you these (cliche standard question):
1. tell me about yourself
- full name
- family background
- ambition & goals
- school experiences
2. why do you choose tesl
- international language of business and commerce
- i want to help young people understand the subject that i enjoyed
- i wanted to change people narrow minded of thinking learning english is wasting of time and worthless.
3. what do you see yourself in 5 years
- lecturer
-publisher
-writer
4. what is current issues
( MOST FRIGHTENING QUESTION)
5. who is the minister of eduation
6. what way did you learn english
- reading (do not answer magazine, magazine uses infromal language)
- watching television
You guys can ask me about the interview, insyaAllah i will help you guys.
ReplyDeletewriting test tu ada exact title ke ? and how to speak fluently in english? im applying for asasi tesl but im so nervous with the interview, all of my teachers ask me to place asasi tesl at my first choice but im lack in confidence to do that. i hope you can give me you feedback, Thankyou .<3
Deletehello unknown haha, there's no exact title for the writing test but make sure to look up for any examples on the web. how to speak fluently? it depends on you. i usually watch english movies with engligh subtitles to make sure that im used to how english speakers speak (u will understand things better). and ofc, try to converse in english, and maybe read more english novels. it will surely enhance your abilities in trying to be more fluent. having an accent do helps, but if it makes other ppl hard to understand what ure trying to say, better just forgo the accent first. it will come naturally later. :) goodluck in your interview!
