"TESL? How hard could it be? U just study about grammar, vocabulary and stuff... Damn, u're so lucky... I have to work my ass out just to pass my course's test papers... I wish I'm good in English..."

I often get this kind of remark from my former schoolmates who are now in UiTM Shah Alam doing physics, biology, engineering, chemistry and etc... How hard could it be? That was the thing that crossed my mind when I was filling the UiTM application form... How hard could it be...

Very hard...

Guys, I assure u... It's not easy taking TESL... It's not about just doing fill up the blanks grammar exercises, writing short essays and learning the themes of poems like u thought it is... It's much more than that... It has sociology, psychology, sociolinguistics, second language acquisition and other hell subjects that can drain your brain into a small peanut...

But one thing's for sure... it's fun...

Watching movies during classes, role-plays, drama and the best part is that we got to be school kids again when u're classmates are doing microteaching...
