1.2 Teaching Philosophy
Teaching English as a ForeignLanguage (EFL) has differentapproaches from teachingEnglish as a Second Language(ESL) totally. Even in the sameEFL situation lot of differentcontexts demand languageteachers for various approachesdepended on the learners’proficiency level. In my point ofview teaching English shouldfocus on the communicativecompetence of learners throughthe various tasks. Also teachingEnglish should be going onintegrating with their subjectswhich are taught in their school.This process provides teacherswith widen their knowledge ofcurriculum through
understandingtheir texts, students and
contexts.

The group 3 had a charge of the 6th class whose goal is to write astory in narrative paragraphs to use past verbs and linking wordseffectively such as transitional words with the theme of movie. This timewant to talk about the flow of activities, and students' products focusedon the goal of the lesson.
There were 6 well-organized activities to help to complete the narrative paragraphs step by step. The class leaders managed thoseactivities well with a clear direction mostly within the allowed time. Eachactivity supported the next one which more extended than the previousone. Also the class leaders arranged activities depended upon students‘Movement properly. For example students needed to stand and walkaround slightly in activity 1 and 3 before the break time. After breakstudents ran to the other classroom to find the strips of sentences inactivity 4 which a group couldn't find though. In the last activity studentsperformed as an actor or actress where students looked exciting. Likethis most of activities flew naturally with the goal.
Students were required many different skills and roles through thisclass. They needed to express their own idea about the movie anddescribe it in verbal at the beginning of the class. After activity 1 mostactivities were more focused on the writing skills with more creativethinking idea. For the last project, which was to be a narrator or actor,class leaders explained what the narrative paragraphs were. That gavestudents and siblings very useful to write the narrative ones. Even ifstudents' product like a story of commercial, cartoon story and moviesynopsis were definitely improved through it, most students' product
weredone by siblings' help in my group because of the lack of vocabulary andtime limit. So I really want to know how much other siblings help theirgroup's writing directly. It means you make almost sentences in verbaland they just dictate sentences mostly.

The purpose of this action research was to investigate the effectiveness of peer feedback on writing ability of making good topic sentences. The findings of the study showed that peer feedback does not effect on their accuracy, but on fluency. Students might benefit from the peer feedback in terms of noticing what are necessary for good writing topic sentences. So it had a positive effect on both high- and low-proficient GEP students’ writing performance in terms of overall essay quality even though there was no significant effect on accuracy for either the high- or low-proficient students. Another finding is that students had difficulty in giving peer feedback accurately because they had not enough time to evaluate peers’ product. It shows that students need more time to give feedback, so it could be one suggestion to do this job as homework.
Even though feedback is highly valued by teachers and students, it is true the feedback from teachers is limited. That is why many other feedbacks are suggested. Saito and Fujita (2004) comment that there is a persistent belief among teachers that students are incapable of rating peers because of their lack of language ability, skill and experience (p. 48).Unfortunately, it was true according to the results. However, I expect that there might have been different results if they had had enough time to review. Berg’s (1999) study of ESL classes in the USA also confirms the effectiveness of peer feedback as a means of aiding writing development, though it was beyond the scope of this study to compare the impact of peer and teacher feedback.
