Scholarship / Suppporting statements; Why in Monash University? Experience of study in Australia and future career [3]
Dear seniors, please help check my supporting statements:
1. How did you choose your proposed course and institution*?
I have been taking a part in English teaching for more than ten years, and I am dealing with many kinds of students diverse in character, intelligence, and learning style. Particularly, the students in my institution come from various backgrounds; but they share one thing in common, none of them are English speaker. They are born in Malay language. They are educated in Bahasa Indonesia. However, these natural distinctions possibly lead to constraints in the way they are thinking and understanding other languages which have different rules of structure and sentence pattern. With this problem to solve, I am motivated to gain more knowledge and learn more skills on teaching.
I was first inspired by an instructor in an Essay Workshop who is an alumnus of a university in Australia. After a long discussion, she recommended me to pursue Master degree in TESOL. Then I found out that Master of TESOL offers curriculum and extensive education on the English teaching within any context. It will help me develop my understanding in teaching principles; acknowledge my questions on how to bring theories into practice. This program also provides opportunity to build up self expertise in all kinds of English teaching situations; make me able to adjust my teaching methods, materials, students' condition and learning activities to the local environment and the needs of the students.

My primary future goal is to be more professional and skillful teacher with ability to cope with various situations in English teaching.
