Hello, It’s me…

  
Hello. My name is Revival Fardhiah. I came from Banda Aceh, Indonesia, one beautiful country in South East Asia. Since July 2008, I have been in Maryville College, Tennessee. It is a liberal art college that offers the beautiful view of The Great Smoky mountains. It is also the place where I’ve taken the Teaching English As second Language (TESL) as my major and minor in psychology.
During my experience, i found out so many new things: academic experience, social life and the multiculturalism which make me become more open-minded and flexible. These new insight and knowledge change my perspective about life especially about how to see the diversity not as the place to judge who is better or not, but, how this diversity brings the people together as the world’s citizen.
After graduation, i am hoping that i can work as the English teacher with diverse group because i am really interested in intercultural communications to see how unique each culture. instead, i also put attention on the youth community or the kids activities which are relate to my academic background.
I believe that a good teacher is the teacher that can motivate the students,enhance their interest in learning and put the trust on them that every students are unique, they grow with different skill.
This is my blog where i put some of my thought relate to my experience studying in Maryville College. Some of the ideas and strategies are the good resources for me to build the confidence in my self as well as my students.
