Teaching the kids at Mufik
Foundation was amazing. It was the first time for me to meet them face-to-face
because I was not allowed to come until the last meeting. I pretended to be a
foreigner who could not speak Bahasa Indonesia at all. My group planned that to
see whether the students would be motivated or not.
At first when I sat around them,
they were all quiet. They were only staring at me and smiled. I was trying to
talk with them, and my friends were telling them not to be shy. Then they
started asking questions to me in English. If they did not know the words, they
would ask either to Martan, Ana, or Risma for help.
Apparently, they really wanted to
know their guest teacher. Even one of them asked me if I know about the flood
in Jakarta, and
I was surprised! However I answered the question. They were having a good time,
and I really had fun too! I was just so surprised and felt guilty when I read
their reflection. One of them said that s/he would never forget that
experience, studying English with bule. But apart from that, I could see
that the students felt happy and really showed their effort to speak with me.
