Reflection

I would like to divide my reflection into THREE topics of the course, my blog and my teacher.

Firstly, this course is English for International Trade (Eng-380). The content emphasizes the use of English skills written and spoken English through the global business communication such as presentation, negotiation, meeting, e-mail and etc. Besides, this course covers using English in the world wide in trading, management, business and marketing, this course also urges most students in studying English on the global business communication. The course yields a lot of advantages to us to live in the communication world. Technology in communication developed or changed rapidly, with this course, we can catch up with new choices of communication. In fact, I don’t have business background; I have to try harder to understand what are about business.

Secondly, I would like to tell you I never have knowledge about blog before. When I began to do my blog, I didn’t know what product or what brand to choose and I didn’t know how to design. Consequently, I had to try hard to know what was right or wrong that it took me much time in making the blog. Sometimes, I consulted with my friends because they are more tech-savvy than me. When I had a free time, I always did it by myself. While I did it, I thought “The attempt leads to success.” The moral makes me tolerate and keep fighting in making my blog. After I finished my blog, I think I get many advantages in doing it especially communication with my friends on my blog. I can also use my blog in presenting my work on the global business commutation in the future too.

Lastly, I would like to say happily “THANK YOU VERY MUCH” for my boss or my lovely teacher, Aj.Kob. I think that she is a good, kind, active and confident teacher. Moreover, she understands every student in studying and doing many activities. Importantly, I like her teaching strategy that encourages students and focus on students’ center. Aj. Kob motivated students to learn English by taking teaching aid such as videos and songs. As a result, every student pays attention and doing activities with his or her full effort. However, I more like studying in this course; I hope other teachers teach like the teacher of this course does. Specially, I feel fun, excited and happy with studying in this course. I think students will succeed in their studying or not depends partly on the teacher too.

Letter of Invitation for Professional Comments

In 2001- 2010, BRAND’S products are accepted from consumers both Thailand and aboard. Importantly, Cerebos Co., Ltd has produced about 20 BRAND’S products; it expands the products around the world too.

Rationale: Why this brand?

Nowadays, a number of consumers don't take care of their health. We observe that consumers die in their early age because they consume unhealthful foods especially fast foods. I think that we should take more care of our health. Importantly, there are many brands of supplement health foods such as BRAND'S, PEPTIEN and etc. BRAND'S is regarded as the best and popular supplement health products. In the present day, BRAND'S has earned the highest total sales every year. BRAND'S company has many policies such as Value, Quality, Energy, Environment, Occupational health and Safety policy to requite the consumers and society. Now, BRAND'S is leading the biggest center of producing and exporting healthy beverages in Europe. However, BRAND'S expands around the world especially Asia Pacific such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Taiwan, China, Australia and New Zealand. Moreover, BRAND'S products get the best reward for the international standard in the nation and abroad for more than 170 years. Besides, BRAND'S will pay gratitude to the consumers by arranging activities such as BRAND'S Summer Camp, BRAND'S Grade a Freshy Power with Tor, BRAND'S Brain International Challenge, BRAND'S Gen and etc. Importantly, the consumers are impressed and happy with all activities.

For me, I am a consumer that consumes BRAND'S products especially BRAND'S Veta Prune Essence and Cherry Essence and etc. I believe that these products have many nutrients. When I am tired, I usually drink BRAND'S products that make me fresh and vigorous. In the present day, I trust in BRAND'S products more and more especially for the quality control and the standard of the producing process.

What did I learn from the Victoria's Secret?

"The identity in itself is very important in business community."

Victoria's Secret, being a gigantic line of women's products, generated much in the business community. Importantly, they were designed to be more sexy, domunant and glamorous than other products especially in style, price and unique. Moreover, Victoria's Secret showed an art in itself.

However, Victoria's Secret wasn't the first famous products in the past; it had many competitors of women's products. It began advertising the catalogue on the website, it still lunched www.VictoriesSecret.com on the website nowadays. Importantly, there were 2 goals on the new media; to strengthen and support the Victoria's Secret brand and to exceed sales goals. Victoria's Secret had managed FASHION SHOW in New York. There were many consumers, business people and designers attended the fashion show and it made the brand more popular. The supermodels, tall, slim, beautiful, enhanced the products such as bras, clothes, swimming suits, shoes and etc., and the products were more attractive to buy. After that Victoria's Secret expanded the advertisement to TV spots, Internet banner ads and print ads in major newspaper. All of Victoria's Secret medias got the best prize and Victoria's Secret became the top of women's products.

My view as consumers, when I see Victoria's Secret products, I want to buy them so much because they are beautiful, interesting, colorful and prominent products. Furthermore, there are several high quality and products to serve customers'demand.

This video is about Victoria's Secret products. Especially,Victoria's secret managed FASHION SHOW IN 2009. I think this performance showed very luxurious,dominent and identical because there were supermodels to present products. Importantly, most consumers interested and accepted with VICTORIA'S SECRET PRODUCTS.

My Journal#4 (Know about Product Strategy)

On June, 15, 2009, Aj. Kob talked about Marketing strategy(4ps) such as product, promotion, price and place. I think that I quite understood the details. And then she introduced the product manager, Phillip Kotler, who told about Create customer value, Positioning (Price,quality, image, service,design, style) and Branding(Promise, brand value,slogan, logo). Importantly, he divided each steps as Create value, Communicate value and Deliver value. Finally, Phillip Kotler told that "If you nail positioning and targeting, the rest falls into place." Moreover, Aj.Kob assigned everybody thought the own brand values." Aj.Kob assigned everybody to think of his or her own brand value.

Suddently, Boom called for Nut and told that " I am so sick because of my inflamed bladder and I can't study" so my group consulted with Aj.Kob. At the beginning, Aj.Kob gave every group to pick up the number of presentation. My group was the first group but my members had to give Champ's group to be the first group in presentation. Importantly,my members was very serious and worried about the presentation so my group had to plan my new presentation unexpectedly and my group decided Mo was an applicant and Gift, Nut and I were interviewers (Keep fighting). As soon as my group presented, we was so excited. However, my group could solve the urgent problem well, we felt so relieved from presentation. That day, each group had different presentation. Moreover, I understood the real interview that it will be very difficult and afraid. Specially, every student and Aj.Kob was more happy, fun and impressed in doing the activity.

My Journal#3 (Travel around Victoria's Secret.)

On 8th June,2010, I would like to say I was VERY tired and exhausted because of doing a lot of assignments. When I arrived my classroom, the temperature in the room was very cold and it was quiet. Aj.kob turned to me and she smiled to me. She started to talk about the assignment. First, She assigned every group to present a summary of Intimate Apparel Market and Brand and Positioning of Victoria's Secret. Then each group summaried Victoria's secret with different ideas, I learnt more about Victoria's Secret. After that Aj.

I thought I had some business background from my previous course that I applied for the online blog. One important thing in that day, Aj.Kob talked about our writing skill which was considered ungrammartical. Besides, she listed the ungrammartical parts from our writings. For me, I am not serious and worried about English grammar because I have some basic knowledge. Especially, I like writting skills more than other skills. That day, I felt so active doing the online blog and I understood the business project more and more.

"THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY"

I observed everybody being pleased with the activity. And then she talked about "What are Really in women's bag?" such as Beauty, Hope, Prestige and etc. Lastly, she taught about FIVE steps of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

On 27th May,2010, this was the first day for me to learn Eng-380 (English for International Trade) and it was the first meeting for Aj.Kob and my friends in this semester. Importantly, this was the last semester that I studied at WU.

Before I registered this course, I was very worried and afraid of studying this course because my minor is English. Specially, I didn't have business background; I think that I didn't understand business much. Although, I studied Writing in Business Context course(Eng-279)with Aj.David and Seminar in Business Writing(Eng-476) with Aj.Kob. I think these 2 subjects may relate to this course. At least, I got some basic business knowlede from these subjects. However,I knew from my friends that my teacher assigned students to design the online blog that it made me very anxious and worried about the assignment because I had no experience about the online blog.

When the class began, Aj.Kob introduced herself and described Course description, Goals, Format, Evaluation and etc. I knew the course outline clearly. And then she taught about business mode as context/knowledge(content), discourse/(language), manner, pragmatic and project based. At the end of the period, Aj.Kob assigned to read Victoria's Secret and find blog templetes.
