        For overall, SEAMEO has conducted the program properly. Congratulations to all of the committee behind on this program who have arranged the program be more beneficial and meaningful for the students, especially practical students. Thank god I was be able to participate the program and it helps me to improve a lot of thing not just only my teaching ability but many developments that will help me to face the real life as a teacher in the future. But unfortunately everything was not perfect. I would like to suggest this program, and I have four main suggestion, I believe and hope this suggestion will help SEAMEO especially SEA-teacher to do improvement for better future.

            First is about the announcement of the program. To be honest the date and regulation of the program was not really clear yet, my university was confusing to tell us (the other participants) about the program when it will be started. Because it was our first time to join this program, and also there was no any guidance for us from the first batch of this program. Later I hope the information and communication to the university participants will be clearer.

            Second is about the program period. I think one mouth was not enough to have teaching practicum because we have really short time to practice and learn. I suggest you to extend the time it could be two months or even three months, it will strongly help the goals achieved by practicum students.

            Third is about the training program. It was good using webex application to have the training section but there are some weaknesses, first one the number of students who joined the training was  very huge and also not all of the students understand how to use the application, even thought the instruction of using the application clearly posted but still many numbers of students did not read it first so the microphone was active and disturbed the speaker of the training, it actually was consuming lot of time just only to instruct them to turn off the microphone or videocam. For the power point presentation also should be written and described vividly, it will avoid miss understanding and communication. It would be better if the next training section the committee will use known and simple application which also the participant should be divided based on their destiny.

            Fourth is the self-report. The instruction was not clear enough to understand, the committees expect the participants to have complete and arrange report, but the instruction need to be made clearer to avoid miss conception, because it will affect our certificate which the certificate also really important for the participants. For the suggestion, please provide a full description of how to make a good report on the blog based on the rules made.  

            Those are some suggestions that I can give, and hopefully the program will be better than before and also will produce more brilliant students and ready to be put in every school as professional teacher.
