Nadia Khan Internship Report

Objective of Studying the Organization

As I am student of M.Eng in Fatima Jinnah Women University, Rawalpindi, it is the requirement of my course to do practical training in an established organization or Institution. To ensure practically of two years study, it is necessary to accept challenges and opportunities to learn and apply skills and knowledge. My main objective of studying the organization is to see the practical implementation of the theories and rules, which I have studied in books.

Secondly, I want to learn new things, i.e. how to communicate with the people, officially and how I as a teacher can deliver my knowledge to my dear students. How can I give my best, how to control class and make myself and make my students devoted, punctual and well-mannered. I want to refine my skills and want to get experience which will be helpful for me in future.

INTERNSHIP DETAILS AS PER WEEK:

1^st Week:                                                                                                                          

 The day of 15^th July 2010 is very important day of my life because it was the first day of my internship at PACE College. First of all, I met to the vice Principal, Ms. Saba, she took a brief interview of mine, then introduced herself and guided me by telling the objectives and mission of the college. Then I met to the principal, Sir Liaqat Ali Khan, he talked with me about my interests related to my subject and assured me that he and his staff would help me during my internship. Then vice principal take me to the staff room and introduced me with other staff members. I have also gotten the chance of an overview to the classrooms, computer labs, science labs, library and canteen.

According to my interest, capabilities and subject, they decided about me that I have to take the classes of English as teaching grammar and Pak study at intermediate level. In the first week on very first day, I went to the classes and observe teachers and students their way of teaching and learning, how they communicate and interact to each other. This provided me an opportunity that if I have any point regarding the lecture, I could share it with the class and teacher.

2nd Week:

The second week of internship was actually a trial of mine because I took my first class of Pakistan studies. Before starting my class the teacher of Pakistan Studies guided me and informed that my lecture should be very intelligible and comprehensible to the students because he is not going to repeat that particular topics again. First of all, I introduced myself to the students, and after that I started my lecture. In first week my task was to deliver the topics like: Foundation of Muslim League and Khilafat Movement.        During the first few lectures the instructor was also present there and observed me, and then he gave me some annotations for the improvement of my performance. On last day of the week Ms. Saba, the vice principal, informed me that I also have to manage the tutorial activities in which I have to select some students from the same class and then I have to bestow my support and guidance to them for the preparation of debates, speeches, 14^th August function and role plays competition.     

3rd Week:

The principal Sir Liaqat, himself came to my class and observed me during the lecture. At the end of the class he called upon me in his office and appreciated my effort of using map in the class for making the students clear to directions and locations of different countries and also for the using of white board during the lecture. He also gave me comments for improvement and told me my weak areas. In 3^rd week Ms. Saba informed me about the topics of the speech and debates, she also informed me that Ms. Mahvish would help me in managing the tutorial activities. This week my topic in Pak Study was related to the First World War and it’s after effects on the Muslim world. The same week I also got a chance of taken English classes and taught students about English Grammar throughout my internship. On first day I ask students about their liking and disliking of English as a subject and made a road map regarding   teaching English in an interesting and easy way for the students.

4^th Week:

My responsibilities increased besides teaching, I have selected students for the tutorial activities and for the function of 14^th August with the help of Ms. Mahvish. The date for the debate and speech was announced by Ms. Saba. She has decided to conduct Independence Day’s function on 13^th of August.  So I paid my full attention to the Independence Day’s function. The duration of the function was 4 hours, according to the time, I decided to arrange function based on: Recitation of Holy Quran, Naat, speech, debate, one role play(related to the Pakistan Movement), and national songs.  I picked rest of the girls those were not participated in the above mentioned activities that they must have to participate in the decoration of the stage simply because I wanted to involve the whole class. Ms. Saba ensured me that she would try her best to provide me every obsession which I needed for the function.

5^th Week:

Eventually the function of 14^th August conducted that was really good. Sir Liquat, Ms Saba and all the staff members appreciated me and students. Ms. Mahvish helped me a lot during the preparation of the function. Ms. Saba informed me that in last year function parents were also invited but this year due to the flood disaster in the country they were not invited. The students were awarded by principal and vice principal on the bases of their performances. The students who were indulge in decorating the stage also awarded and appreciated. This week I paid my whole attention on organizing of function rather than on my classes.

6^th Week:

Finally the last week of my internship came and I took a short test of the students which I have taught them. Then I returned that tests to the students and gave them feed back, remarks and some suggestions for improvement. Sir Wasif guided me about every substance. He also examined the tests and gave his satisfaction with the students’ and mine performance. The debate event conducted on the topic, “Action Speaks Louder than Words”. That was also a very good experience for me which enhance my confidence about my administration qualities.
