3.  Outcomes of Practicum

From practicum I gained a lot of experience and new knowledge. I can observe when teachers teach in the Philippines which is different from in Indonesia. So that I can make a good example to be practiced in Indonesia. Every day and every time using English makes my English speaking skills develop, I get a lot of new vocabulary. I am very happy because it is welcomed by the teacher and students so that I feel comfortable when speaking and teaching students in class. Although our English accents are different, but I can adjust to students when teaching so that cultural differences are not a barrier to continue to do good. I share my knowledge about teaching and sharing curricula in Indonesia with teachers in the Philippines, so that it can be a very memorable experience and will not be forgotten.

4.  The Challenges of Practicum

The challenges while joining this program are languages. Because different English accents sometimes make it difficult to interpret, but over time it can be overcome. In addition, when they use their local language it is not fully understood even though there are several words that are similar to Indonesian, but from this problem I can learn their local language so that I can add new language vocabulary.

5.  Overall Impression

Overall, I am very fortunate and thank God Almighty for granting my prayers to take part in this program that I have dreamed of. In addition, I thank SEAMEO for organizing this program so that it can give me the opportunity to follow it. Do not forget, I thank my family and friends who have provided support and always pray for the best for me. Finally, I thank Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa University, Mariano Marcos State University, and the MMSU Laboratory Elementary School for accepting me to take part in the program, provide training and take care of me while in the Philippines. Lots of experience and learning that I get because this is my first experience to teach abroad so that I will always remember and practice in Indonesia.

6.  Suggestions for Future Improvement
