Copyright, Managing and Leading.

The topic looks simple but the fact is that is VERY deep and consists of 'broad coverage'. First of all, I must thank and congratulate both the presenters for a simplified version of difficult topic. They began well with a superb video. I was truly stunned to watch the video. The first thing that crossed my mind was 'where did they get all these..... the definition on copyright!" As I always believe in that learning that arouses the interest of the audience will definitely remain longer in the brain.

I just wanna share my experience on how learning takes place better. Currently, I am indulge in completing my project paper entitled "Language games to enhance teaching grammar". While writing the Chapter 2, I came across many writer who stressed that learning is a subconscious process whereby it will only remains in the learner for a long time if it fulfills the needs of the learner..

According to Wright (1979) the process of language learning is a difficult task. Every person has to face this kind of process in his or her life. They must make an effort to understand, to represent accurately and to use the language that is known in conversation and also in written form. Efforts are required at every moment and must be sustained for a long period of time. In this case, language games could help and encourage learners to make and sustain those efforts.

Thus, while listening to presentation, I realizes that the visual effects had played a very important role in creating a steady platform for me to remember and grasp the knowledge being conveyed. I am not denying it was content-packed but they made it simpler.

And, talking about copyright in Malaysia will definately take a couple of ages to be implemented.

  1. Glad to see you relating this course to your Masters project work. Language games has great potentials in sustaining learner interests and motivation. Will your final project in this course be based on this?
