I WOULD like to express my dissatisfaction with Simulated Teaching for TESL Teachers (PBET 3101), a three credit hours course paper offered to those doing their Bachelor in Education (TESL) at Universiti Malaya (UM).
UM had recently done away with Teaching Practice which accounts for six credit hours (of the total 116 credit hours) to obtain a degree. I was one of those disappointed with the move but eventually accepted it with much regret. Having said that, I was really banking on this particular subject (Simulated Teaching for TESL Teachers) to compensate for the lost opportunity to put into practice what has been taught and learnt over the past three years.
