3rd week, Journal 9-11 2009

On Tuesday 9, class was canceled by Aj. Gob, Amazingly! And Happily! She posted on M-learning that she would come to class about 10.15 on Thursday. So, she exactly arrived at 10.15. How a punctual!

On Thursday 11, class started with warm up activity: Speaking and brainstorming activity. It’s about the core value of product. In my opinion, Aj, Gob wanted to relate with the product strategy because we have to think about the reason of buying. In fact, we don’t buy something because of necessity or need. But, there are many factors which have influence our consideration to buy something. From this activity it could show me that advertising and other promotion very attract my decision. However, each product has the unique positioning and target market differently so we should know the core value of each product well.

I really like this activity because there is a lot of knowledge that hide in the world around me.

Congratulation for our 1 month Anniversary!! Yo ho!!

On Tuesday 2, Aj, Gob started to give me more the details of course syllabus and blog project, it spent time nearly the whole class. The one thing that is very important for me is the rules of class, that Aj. Gob said, we can’t not absent over 5 time of this course, if we can’t follow this rule, we must stop in this course. Since I studied here (Walailak University), I never have heard this rule from other teachers before, THAT’S SO COOL. Before class finished, she gave me a little bit homework that is searching the recent hot news about GM bankruptcy. It’s so interesting.

On Thursday 4, English for International Trade has begun already. I really expected in teacher. The first activity was summary the meaning of business and careers in business. For me the meaning of business in present is changing. In the past business is exchange or trade but in modern time business compose of 3 main parts
· Production is the process of production.
· Distribution is moving the product from factory to market place.
· Sale of goods and service is how to exchange the goods into money and make the most profit and make the customer satisfy in sale after service.
After that, Aj. Gob lectured about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs which I ever have studied in Principle Management course before but it has something differently. In my opinion, Aj. Gob didn’t teach only the knowledge from text book or the meaning of someone but she adapted with the real thing in this modern world and gave a lot of example which is the best way to make more understand not remember.

Thank you for your spirit
Dr. Gob

1 st week, Journal 26-28 2009

On Tuesday 26 is the first class of English for International Trade and the first meeting between Dr. Adcharawan Buripakdi and me. Before class began I tried to imagine about her and wait in the room. And then, teacher arrived with her big bag, my first impression was she looks smart and sporty guy, I really liked it. She didn’t get the beautiful dress, she just looked like a generally, she didn’t make up any more, she just came with her natural face but I could see intention in her eyes.
When class began, teacher was introduced herself and described about this course. After that, everybody had to do the pretest that sounds terrible for me. This pretest is about using English for business, it’s not difficult. For the first meeting that it’s so impressively a lot for me.

On Thursday 28, I was really excited, what teacher going to do in this class. She said that she heard our voice, I like this word so much, I don’t know why I like that but it makes me feel good because I think she can understand and accept our feeling and ability which I never heard it before form other teacher. Then, she talked about the course syllabus and the final project of this course.


Even though, she gave a lot of work, it’s not annoyed me at all. I’m enjoyed to do it and have fun with this course.
