Learning Reflection in a Discourse Approach in Reading
Throughout this course we have learned lots about genres of the text and discourse markers and acquired lots of knowledge as follows
Chapter 1: Recount
To tell what happened in the past. There are three types Personal Recount, Factual Recount and Imaginative Recount.
Chapter 2: Narrative
To entertain the reader and make them imagine about the story that they were reading. And this lesson I have learned the story Secrets about a little girl with her secrets. Teacher let us read and explained for us and teacher assigned us to worked in group of three to make a story book about this story.

Chapter 3: Descriptive
To describe thing, person or place so I have chances a lot to described things, animals and places, and did lots of exercises.
Chapter 4: Procedure
To tell us how something is done through a step or a sequence of action. And this lesson teacher assigned us to make a cooking video and presented the video in front of the class. So this is my cooking video and I worked with Kittikarn, we cooked Canned Fish Hot and Spicy Soup.
Chapter 5: Comparison & Contrast
To compare two or more things or both similarities and differences and there are some important words, we called discourse markers to show similarities and differences.
Discourse markers to show similarities
- both
- same
- similar
- in common
Discourse markers to show differences
- to contrast
- unlike
- however
- yet
To show how the facts result due to other fact and there are some words that we can notice when we read the text and we can realized that are cause or effect for example cause, result, factor, reason,
to blame, to force
In this lesson we did lots of exercises and also wrote the diagram about cause and effect related to the text that we read.
You are my role model to be a good English teacher and studying abroad.
I really want to be like you. I want to study abroad and have a good career. Thank you to suggest us way to success and everything you did for us.
Chapter 7: Definition and Classification
This
lesson helps us when we read academic English because we will meet lots of the
technical words and different types of the text. We can notice their definition
or type from some words as follow
i.e.,
in other word or to refer to
These
are definition markers
kind,
type or to group
These
are classification markers
Chapter
8: Exemplification
The
writers use this when they want to add more detail to explain something and we
will understand clearly. So we can notice from these words as follow
e.g.
= foe example
viz
= it is
here
are a few examples
Chapter
9: Problem and Solution
It’s
a pattern of organization where information in the text is express as a problem
or solution. Of course, there are the discourse markers to make us understand
the text where the problem and solution.
Problem
markers
- burden
- crisis
- obstacle
Solution
markers
- to resolve
- to tackle
- remedy
So that’s all chapters that I have learned this
course.
For me the difficult things are writing about the
main idea or summarize the text by using my own words but I can do it however I
need the time but I always tried my best when I did the exercises and the way I
solved the problem is checked the answer with my friends and asked them why
them answer like that. And another difficult thing for me is the difficult
words that I never known before but I solved it by trying to find the definition
from the context or using dictionary online.
In my opinion this course is one of my favorite
course because our teacher Dr.Usa is very kind for us (If we didn’t talk too
much, came to class late, uniform is impolite,
break the rules or something like that) I want to say thank you for you for a
million times that you taught us a lot not only in the lesson but also the life
skills or how to behave suitably because we are going to be an English teacher
in the future.
You are my role model to be a good English teacher and studying abroad.
I really want to be like you. I want to study abroad and have a good career. Thank you to suggest us way to success and everything you did for us.
And I want to say sorry that sometimes we talked too
much and made you upset with us or didn’t do homework that you assigned us. I’m
really sorry teacher.
Unfortunately, my junior (first year student and
next the gen) won’t have a good chance to study with you. I think they miss the
big chance.
