Top 10 Tourist Attractions in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (learning Outsude Classroom)

Top 10 Tourist Attractions in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
People visit Kuala Lumpur, the capital and largest city in Malaysia, for many reasons. The city gives travelers a chance to learn about a different culture, with ethnic foods and architecture that blends the best of the East and the West. An overview of the top tourist attractions in Kuala Lumpur.
10.Kuala Lumpur Railway Station
The Kuala Lumpur Railway Station is a gracefully designed colonial building that combines Eastern and Western architectural influences, including Moorish and Indian. Visitors have described its style as unique and stunning. The station was built in 1910 at a cost of $23,000 and served passengers bound for Singapore and other Southeast Asia destinations up until 2001 when it was replaced by a more modern station. While long-distance operations mostly have moved to the Sentral Station, commuter trains still use the station as do some long-distance companies.
9.Thean Hou Temple
       Visitors to Thean Hou Temple will find a little bit of China in Kuala Lumpur, since it is one of the largest Chinese temples in Southeast Asia. Opened in 1989 by Malaysia’s Chinese community, it is a stunning example of Chinese architecture, with its four levels of orange-tiled pagodas. The temple honors Thean Hou, the goddess of the sea. With a spectacular view of Kuala Lumpur as a backdrop, the temple is a popular spot to take wedding photos; the temple even has a marriage registration office, with about 5,000 couples a year choosing to get married here.
8.Berjaya Times Square
Berjaya Times Square is a large complex containing a shopping center and two five star hotels. With 7.5 million square feet (700,000 m²) of built up floor area it is currently the fifth largest building in the world. The shopping mall includes more than 1,000 retail shops, 65 food outlets and several entertainment attractions such as Asia’s largest indoor theme park, Cosmo’s World and Malaysia’s first-ever IMAX 2D & 3D theater which is located on the 10th Floor.
7. Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia
       The Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia is Southeast Asia’s largest museum devoted to Islamic art. Opening in 1998, the museum is home to more than 7,000 artifacts, ranging from jewelry to a replica of the mosque in Mecca. The collection features not just artifacts from the Middle East and Malaysia, but also from China and India. The museum has 12 galleries, most of which display items by type rather than geographic region. An on-site restaurant serves Middle Eastern cuisine. The museum is located near Lake Gardens and not too far from a mosque.
6. Menara KL Tower
The almost 335-meter (1,100-foot) high Menara KL Tower serves two purposes. The first is as a communications tower. The second is as a tourist attraction with a revolving restaurant and observation area that offers stunning panoramic views of Kuala Lumpur below; it is the highest public viewing area in the city. Trivia fans will be impressed that it took 31 consecutive hours to pour the concrete for the tower base. Travelers in top athletic condition might want to participate in the annual race to climb the steps to the top levels; couch potatoes can take the elevator.
5.KL Bird Park
       Located in the serene Lake Gardens, KL Bird Park is an eco-tourism site that it home to more than 3,000 birds belonging to 200 species. Birds are divided into four zones; three of the zones are called free-flight, because birds are free to fly wherever they want in surroundings that resemble their native, natural habitat. Park operators say their bird park is the largest free-flight park in the world. Visitors can walk among the birds in these zones, making for a different experience. Caged birds are in the fourth zone.
4.Bukit Bintang
Bukit Bintang is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Kuala Lumpur, perhaps because travelers like to shop. Bukit Bintang is the city’s shopping and entertainment center. Here, travelers will find tiny shops and shopping malls where goods in all price ranges are sold. The area has lots of places to eat, from sit-down restaurants to street food vendors, including one street that only serves Chinese food. Bukit Bintang is a lively place at all hours, but especially so at night when it becomes a hangout for visitors seeking nightlife.
3.Merdeka Square
Merdeka Square is the heart of Kuala Lumpur. It is sometimes called Independence Square because the Malaysian flag first flew here in 1957 when the country became independent of Great Britain. The square is mostly a grass field, used by cricket players in colonial days, that is surrounded by some of the city’s more famous buildings such as the National History Museum and the Royal Selangor Club. Various public events, such as open air concerts, take place at the square, which is also a starting and ending point for marathon races around town.
2.Batu Caves
Batu Caves is a limestone hill that has a series of caves and cave temples in the Gombakdistrict, 13 kilometres (8 mi) north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It takes its name from the Sungai Batu or Batu River, which flows past the hill. Batu Caves is also the name of the nearby village. The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India, dedicated to Lord Murugan. It is the focal point of Hindu festival of Thaipusam in Malaysia.
1.Petronas Twin Towers
       The world’s tallest twin towers soaring 88-storey and 451.9 metres high is located right here in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Truly Malaysia’s crown jewel, the Petronas Twin Towers is majestic by day and dazzling by night. Inspired by Tun Mahathir Mohamad's vision for Malaysia to be a global player and designed by master architect Cesar Pelli, the international icon encapsulates the nation's ambitions and aspirations.

Learning Inside Classroom

          Learning Log

            In my class I have learned about teaching speaking, teaching with technology, assessment and testing, teaching listening, teaching reading and teaching writing from group of friends had presentation that it is the important contents for learning. Each group had different contents and technique for presentation.
            First, They talk about teaching speaking. Speaking happens in real time usually the person you are talking to is waiting for you to speaking right then. When you speak you cannot edit and revise what you wish to say, as you can if you writing. The goal of teaching speaking skills is communicative efficiency. Learners should be able to make themselves understood, using their current proficiency to the fullest. They should try to avoid confusion in the message due to faulty pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary, and to observe the social and cultural rules that apply in each communication situation. In everyday communication, spoken exchanges take place because there is some sort of information gap between the participants. Communicative output activities involve a similar real information gap. In order to complete the task, students must reduce or eliminate the information gap. In these activities, language is a tool, not an end in itself.
            Second, they talk about teaching with technology. Teaching with technology have a benefit for teachers in the present because technology help to facilitate and easy for learning and teaching. We can choose the appropriate technologies and design learning activities to help students reach the learning goals, and even employ technology to assess student learning. If we use technology effectively in teaching we must have knowledge about their technology such as IWB because  IWB is the most useful material of classroom technology. It’s all the material whether writing audio and moreover it’s very easy to use it just tab the board with the fingers or specially use with configured pens.
            Third, Assessment and testing that I presented. There are 8 types of assessment such as formative, summative, informal, diagnostic, placement, progress, achievement and proficiency. Although as teacher we sometimes feel that we don’t have a lot of influence on the design of public exams, we often find ourselves writing process and achievement test. Now, let move to type of test item. There are many forms for designing and making test such as the first, decide on our assessment criteria. Second, test need to have validity. Third, list exactly what it is we want to measure. Forth, decide on the balance of items in a test. Fifth, have to be extremely careful to write Rubric. Last, give theme to colleague or student to try out.  There are 2 types of test item is direct test item and indirect item. Direct test items based on four macro skill as speaking, listening, reading and writing. An indirect test items have eight kinds; gap fills, cloze, multiple choice, true/false, jumbled sentence, sentence transformation, proofreading and matching. The last content is about rubric. Rubric is a multi-purpose scoring guide for assessing student products and performances.
            Fourth, Language learning depends on listening. Listening provides the aural input that serves as the basis for language acquisition and enables learners to interact in spoken communication. The strategies of listening such as techniques, comprehension and activities. The top-down strategies of listening such as listening for the main idea, predicting, drawing inferences and summarizing. Given the importance of listening in language learning and teaching, it is essential for language teachers to help their students become effective listeners. In the communicative approach to language teaching, this means modeling listening strategies and providing listening practice in authentic situations: those that learners are likely to encounter when they use the language outside the classroom.
            Fifth, teaching reading with extensive reading is reading as much as possible for your own pleasure at a difficultly level at which you can read smoothly and quickly without looking up words or translating to English as you go. Intensive reading occurs when the learner is focused on the language rather than the text. For example, the learner may be answering comprehension questions and learning new vocabulary. Reading activities that we can ask students to do almost anything with a reading text. Here are some of the common activities.
            Sixth, teaching how to write effectively is one of the most important life-long skills educators impart to their students. When teaching writing, educators must be sure to select resources and support materials that not only aid them in teaching how to write, but that will also be the most effective in helping their students learn to write. Going through the full writing process pre-writing, drafting, revising, rewriting and publishing can be a lot of work, but it’s always worth the effort. Each stage of the writing process builds on the last, and each subsequent stage would be much harder if the previous one hadn’t been completed. When students read the essay in its final, polished form, it becomes clear that following the complete writing process produces the best essay.
            To sum up, from the presentation of each group about teaching speaking, teaching with technology, assessment and testing, teaching listening, teaching reading and teaching writing that there are very important for English language teacher. I can useful for learning and apply for learning and teaching in the future.

Learning Inside Classroom;Teaching Writing

Teaching Writing

On 21 July 2014, I have learned about teaching writing. Teaching writing involves being accurate, encouraging writing and producing a finished product.
Teaching how to write effectively is one of the most important life-long skills educators impart to their students. When teaching writing, educators must be sure to select resources and support materials that not only aid them in teaching how to write, but that will also be the most effective in helping their students learn to write. Going through the full writing process pre-writing, drafting, revising, rewriting and publishing can be a lot of work, but it’s always worth the effort. Each stage of the writing process builds on the last, and each subsequent stage would be much harder if the previous one hadn’t been completed. When students read the essay in its final, polished form, it becomes clear that following the complete writing process produces the best essay.
In conclusion, writing competence in a foreign language tends to be one of the most difficult skills to acquire. This is true for English as well. The key to successful writing classes is that they are pragmatic in nature targeting the skills required or desired by students.




Learning Inside Classroom;Teaching Reading

Teaching Reading

On 21 July 2014, I have learned about teaching listening. Teaching reading also helps students to learn and get English. The third group had presentation about teaching reading. There are two general approaches to teaching of reading skill is extensive reading and intensive reading.
Extensive reading is reading as much as possible for your own pleasure at a difficultly level at which you can read smoothly and quickly without looking up words or translating to English as you go. Intensive reading occurs when the learner is focused on the language rather than the text. For example, the learner may be answering comprehension questions and learning new vocabulary. Reading activities that we can ask students to do almost anything with a reading text. Here are some of the common activities.

To sum up, teachers use more comprehension for practice reading skill of students. When the students have read a text for the first time, teacher often ask them to read it again and look for more information because it helps to ensure that they have really understood what the read.

Learning Inside Classroom;Teaching Listening

Teaching Listening

On 21 July 2014, I have learned about teaching listening. The second group had presentation about teaching listening. There are strategies of listening and step to teaching listening skill that interesting for learning.
Language learning depends on listening. Listening provides the aural input that serves as the basis for language acquisition and enables learners to interact in spoken communication. The strategies of listening such as techniques, comprehension and activities. The top-down strategies of listening such as listening for the main idea, predicting, drawing inferences and summarizing.

In the communicative approach to language teaching, this means modeling listening strategies and providing listening practice in authentic situations: those that learners are likely to encounter when they use the language outside the classroom.
To sum up, the process of teaching listening can help students to develop listening skill they can learn and improve their communication and they have good listening skill and accuracy.
