I
was assigned to create a 60-second podcast about my idea to make the world a
better place to live in. I recently read "Ikigai and Other Japanese Words
to Live By" by Mari Fujimoto, which helped me gain a mindful understanding
of living a fulfilling life by having a purpose.. So, I thought it would be
great if I chose something from it. I chose to introduce the word Ikigai,
a Japanese term which means one’s “reason for being.” My main aim was to
inspire listeners to make their living meaningfully with just one simple word,
but having a deeper meaning, which emphasizes how discovering one’s Ikigai can
lead to happiness and a positive contribution to society as well.
As
for the process of task completion, it was a bit challenging for both finding the
right words to script and managing time effectively. At first, I wasn’t too concerned
for the time, but I take lots of records for making a minute timeframe. I would
say it was quite a struggle, especially when I listened to my voice like over
and over again, I noticed that I was speaking too quickly. However, at least I managed
to complete it!!
I would definitely think of assigning a similar podcast task to my learners in my future teaching career, too. It is really such a creative way to encourage engagement and help learners to express their thoughts.
