The Topic of this Week (Journal):
What is your study goal for this year? Is English a part of your goal? What do you plan to achieve your goal?
Tell us about your dream. What do you hope to do 10 years later?
I didn't actually think about study goal for this year but one thing i'm sure is that i want to improve my English skills. To achieve this goal, I hope to have a lot of chance that could help me use more English. Also, I'm going to watch more videos in English. That will help my English ability because I can actually feel the English that native speakers are using. So that's my dream.
Lastly, i am not sure what i'll be doing in 10 years. I want to be engaged in a job that requires ability to use many languages. I think that will be very challenging and intersting. Also, i hope to live in many other countries too. I want to be in other cultures and know many things about other countries.

Stundents these days tend to really care their English teacher's pronunciation. They seem to believe that English teachers should pronounce just like a native speakers of English. What do you think about this belief? How would you react to this attitude (belief)?
: I agree that many students believe that English teachers should pronounce just like a native speakers of English. They usually think that a good English teacher is who has good pronounciation but I don't think so. There are many people who are very good at English but don't have good pronounciation. It's about how they can use English well, not how they pronounce words just like a native speaker.
Some people might think that people who pronounce like native speakers are most likely to have good English skills but i think that the most important thing of English teachers is their ability to help students to develop their English skills.

What type of learner are you? Tell us about the results of three different tests. Are these results surprising or confirming you? What did you learn about this
I'm a learner who can concentrate more when i have something to look at. I can't concentrate well if i just listen to what the teacher is saying and also, when i have new words, i have to write them down to memorize all of them.
Also, i'm interested in other countries' cultures and so on.
It's always exciting to know how other people around the word are living. There are many different things that i cannot see in my country.
I took a test of three different tests and i think that the results are pretty true. I was surprised to see my results. I learned that i should try to know more about my learning style so that i could use this to improve my English studying skills.
It will surely help me study English more efficiently.

INFJ type description by D.Keirsey
INFJ Identify Your Career with Jung Career Indicator? INFJ Famous Personalities
INFJ type description by J. Butt and M.M. Heiss
Qualitative analysis of your type formula
You are:
distinctively expressed introvert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
distinctively expressed feeling personality
moderately expressed judging personality
INFJs direct their energy towards the inner world of thoughts and emotions. They use their imagination to come up with new ideas, possibilities and insights, especially in relation to people and important beliefs. They are often good at developing insight into people, though it can often remain unexpressed.
What makes an INFJ tick?
The Dominant function is the perceptive one of iNtuition. Characteristics associated with this function include:
Likes looking at information from a global viewpoint, spotting patterns and relationships, that lead to an understanding of the key issues
Focuses more on possibilities for the future than the here-and-now
Enjoys change, challenge, and variety
The perceptive iNtuition function is introverted. That is, iNtuition is used primarily to govern the inner world of thoughts and emotions. The INFJ will therefore:
Seek to develop a understanding of how the world is, or can be
Seek to understand the patterns underlying his/her observations
Be strategic in nature, wanting to establish a clear vision towards which the INFJ is working
Not involve others in the development of that vision
The iNtuition function is primarily supported by extraverted Feeling judgement, That is, Feeling judgement is used primarily to manage the outer world of actions and spoken words. This will modify the way that the iNtuition is directed, by:
focusing the (inner world) iNtuition on ideas and possibilities that relate to people
expressing appreciation for the contributions of others, particularly where they have done or said something that supports the INFJ's ideals
making decisions on the basis of values that support the INFJ's understanding of the world, and conform to his/her vision.
The classic temperament of an INFJ is Apollonian, or Choleric, for whom a basic driving force is the search for meaning or purpose.
Contributions to the team of an INFJ
In a team environment, the INFJ can contribute by:
observing and understanding the team dynamics, and encouraging the team to recognise them and take appropriate action
listening carefully to various viewpoints, and being able to identify potential areas of agreement to be used as a basis to move forward
being trustworthy, meeting commitments to a consistent standard
contributing creative ideas, particularly those involving people
bringing the team to make decisions about important issues
promoting harmony and co-operation
The potential ways in which an INFJ can irritate others include:
not including others in the INFJ's process of developing ideas and vision
not giving criticism or expressing disagreement when it is appropriate
ignoring current reality in pursuit of insight and meaning - perhaps overlooking some tasks that need to be done
making errors of fact
not promoting their ideas in the group
wanting to pursue ideas without fully thinking through the consequences in, say, cost terms
Personal Growth
As with all types, the INFJ can achieve personal growth by developing all functions that are not fully developed, through actions such as:
being prepared to declare the INFJ's own personal vision or goals
investigating and recognising the facts before interpreting what they mean
changing his/her vision to fit more closely with what is possible
allowing others to participate in the process of development of the INFJ's vision or ideas, in order to gain their commitment or get a realistic, objective assessment
learning to promote the INFJ's ideas to others, recognising that others may well find them valuable
listing options and undertaking a formal process of evaluation against criteria, including a cost benefit analysis
Recognising Stress
As stress increases, 'learned behaviour' tends to give way to the natural style, so the INFJ will behave more according to type when under greater stress. For example, in a crisis, the INFJ might:
find a place of solitude in which to think and work
tell everyone else how well they are coping
try to solve the long term problem, and neglect the short term
make errors of fact, or ignore routine matters that might nevertheless be essential
Under extreme stress, fatigue or illness, the INFJ's shadow may appear - a negative form of ESTP. Example characteristics are:
acting very impulsively, making decisions without thinking them through
doing things to excess - e.g.: eating, drinking or exercising
being critical of others, and finding fault with almost everything
being preoccupied about unimportant details and doing things that have no meaning
acting in a very materialistic and selfish way
cutting corners, breaking the rules, and even contradicting the INFJ's own values
The shadow is part of the unconscious that is often visible to others, onto whom the shadow is projected. The INFJ may therefore readily see these faults in others without recognising it in him/her self.

An idealistic figure of English teacher in my mind
Q.What type of English teacher do you want to be? Describe an idealistic figure of English teacher in your mind and explain why.
Most of all, i think a good English teacher should know how difficult it is for students to learn English as a second language and a teacher should guide them to study English well.
Teachers must be equipped with many different ways to teach students so that they could help each students with various ways.
Also, a good English teacher has to know what parts of English students are having trouble studying. In that way, students will have more opportunity to develop their English skill in a short time!
