Individual Work: Competence in Working Life and Networks

-
Also write about YOUR personal networks, both work based and outside work. What do you benefit from these?

My network is very vast as most of my time i spend online. I am a famous online buyer and like to explore many online selling platform. I often buy on EBay, AliExpress, Joom, Banggood and many other websites. Talking about my personal network, I am very much in touch with almost all my friends in Whatsapp. Even with some sellers, i deal with them in Whatsapp especially to buy my indian clothes or gifts for families. My Thesis empirical data was gathered through Skype interviews. My Thesis supervisors also guided me through Skype most of the time as it is most suitable way to get everyone available in the evening or when someone is abroad. With the option of doing video-call in Whatsapp, i rarely use Skype to talk with my relatives and siblings. My most famous social medias are:

1. Whatsapp
2. Facebook
3. Instagram

Work based is not related as i am not working at the moment but outside work, i would say that i helped my mother in doing her adverts for her own business by using online brochures or flyers. I like designing stuffs online using the photo editor, so it is one of my hobby to design her adverts. It takes maximum 30 mins to design as most of the time is gone by choosing the right flyers or pictures. Here are two examples of her recent advert that i have designed:

    These are interesting examples, but as you point out yourself they are not directly related to the professional teacher education. Have you thought about how you will develop your competence in this competence area and how you plan to demonstrate your competence_

The first optional course that I had was: Positive Leadership (3 ECTS) At a professional and personal level, I think the understanding and application of positive leadership will build and maintain great relationships be it in the role of a teacher, wife, sister or daughter. By being a positive leader, one can lead with purpose and excellence, have a sense of optimism and positive vision. My professional background is in international business and being optimistic is considered an important attribute. My group activity performed during the course was Lego Building where i was in a group 1. we were 3 members in all in Group 1.

ABC’s of Teaching in English (Pre-task) Teaching in English: a chore or a bonus? My experience using English in teaching. Using English language during my studies have always been the most comfortable language as in Mauritius, we learn English language from the age of 3 during the pre-primary school. Communicating in English is a must in all subjects apart from studying different languages such as French and Hindi. The national anthem of Mauritius is also in English language. While I have got the opportunity to choose the place where I can perform my teaching practice, I opted for a university where all teachings are done in English. The African Leadership University (ALU) is the institution where I am practicing my teaching and it has the head office in Rwanda. In ALU, students communicate in English with other students and with teachers. Having studied in England for around 3 years, it is comfortable for me to communicate in English and stay in such kind of e
