Final Reflection

It was good that I could take micro teaching class. I will never regret. I experienced so many things. I felt on myself that there were so many improvement in my teaching skill. When I were in semester five, I had no idea about teaching, became a good teacher, etc. After I took micro teaching class, it became clearer. Through micro teaching class, I experienced class teaching practices and teaching lower class. It helped me to improve my teaching skill and my self confidence. After I took micro teaching class, I could say that I have become a better teacher.

My friends really helped me to become a better teacher. I could learn through their teaching style. They also gave me comments directly and indirectly (writing comments) about my performance in teaching. Their comments was very useful for me. I knew some mistakes that I did in teaching practices. I was very happy with their comments because it could help me in improving my teaching skill. I also helped them to become a better teacher through comments that I gave to them. I helped them honestly.

I'm not really sure about my grade in this class. However, I really want an A.. I have done my best in this class except the weekly reflection..hehe..

This week was a hard week for me. I had my turn in final test of micro teaching and teaching lower semester. I had to prepare the materials well. In micro teaching class, I taught speaking 'Introducing'. The observers said that my materials was too easy for junior high school students and the activities was monotonous. Yes, I agree with their comments. I have to consider on my materials and activities well. However, I have done my best...

Tenth Reflection

However, sometimes she did not correct students' mistakes.

Ninth Reflection

Ninth week of micro teaching class was great. We had class teaching practice. It was challenging but fun. Challenging because we had to be a good teacher in front of the whole class. Fun because we could learn how to be a good teacher.

Three of my friends, Mila, Hening, and Anggi had experienced class teaching. I have learned many things from their performances. They had different style of teaching. Mila’s pronunciation was very good. Anggi was so enthusiastic. It influences students’ mood. Hening was good but he looked nervous. They had good set induction and their management time was good.

Reflection

This week I had experienced in class teaching for my progress test I. It was interesting. I taught   listening skill 'expressing sympathy'. In the preparation, It was difficult to find the material. So, I decided to make recording based on the topic. I thought the material was not really difficult. It was good for 10 grade of senior high school students. The students were involved in the lesson, I could see it from the way they enjoy the lesson. 

At that time I was very nervous. Sometimes I move my hands uncontrolable. However, I tried to do my best. Next time, I will teach the material in the different way. I believe that I can do my best. 

Seventh Reflection

In seventh week of micro teaching class, we learned how to make lesson plan and started to have class teaching for our progress test 1. It is good for us to make lesson plan because we have to teach based on the lesson plan that we made. In the first day of progress test 1, there were 3 people who had opportunity to perform. They were Carolina, Sabina, and Gilang. Tia and I were the observer. I could see and hear everything clearly what Carolina, Sabina, Gilang and also the students did in the class. Caroline, Sabina, and Gilang had different style of teaching. Carolina had good set induction but her classroom management was not really good. Sabina spoke very fluent and fast but it was too fast to senior high school students. Gilang was really enthusiastic but sometimes he showed to the students that he was nervous. I believe that they will be good teachers in the future. 

There are many positive things that I gain from this class. I learn how to be a good teacher. I learn not just how to teach students but how students can learn. In class, I also learn from the way my friends teaching. So far, I have not found any negative things from this class.  

Sixth Reflection

In the sixth week of micro teaching class was great.  We had class teaching practice. It was challenging but fun. Challenging because we had to be a good teacher in front of the whole class. Fun because we could learn how to be a good teacher. 

Two of my friends, Anggi and Tia had experienced class teaching. They had different style of teaching. Anggi was more enthusiastic than Tia. It influences students’ mood. Tia was more calm than Anggi, but her instruction was not really clear for the students. However, both of them had really good material and media. Anggi used pictures as media to deliver her material. Tia used games to deliver her material.

On Thursday, we had no class teaching practice. We reviewed how to make lesson plan then took lottery for our progress test 1.  In progress test 1, we will have class teaching. I will do my best. I believe that I can do it.

Fifth Reflection

Fifth week of micro teaching class was very interesting for me. I had experienced teaching in my group. I learned a lot from my performance last week. The comments and feedback that pak Pras and Mila gave to me is very useful and helpful to improve my teaching skill. From their comments, I knew that my teaching method was still teacher-center. I will try harder to change my teaching method become student-center and be more creative in create teaching activities. 

On thursday, we started to do class teaching. Gilang and Siwi had experienced it. After they did the class teaching, we discussed their recorded performances and gave comments and feedback. From the discussion, I realized that sometimes we behave uncontrolled because we was nervous.  I think the use of video camera is very useful. It helps us to improve our skill because we can watch our performance and give feedback. I  realized that teaching was not just how to talk in front of students but also how to behave in front of them.  

Fourth Reflection

Fourth week of micro teaching class was very interesting. We were divided into 2 big groups consist of 11 to 12 people. In one meeting there were 3 to 4 people who had to teach. We learned about how to teach students of senior high school in certain english skill. From my friends' performances, I thought they were well prepare because they prepared the worksheet and also the material. Their performances were really inspire me to improve my skill in teaching. I could adopt some of their teaching styles like the way they greeted the students, the way they delivered the material to the students, etc. I learned many things in class.

Third Reflection

Third week of micro teaching class is more fun because I have been familiar with the situation of the class.  This week, we were devided into two group, one group consist of 11 to 12 people. We must teach our friends with the same group. Some of my friends have experienced it. I think it is a good opportunity that we can teach our friends first before teach the real students. So that, we know what must be improved from our performance. 

I realize micro teaching class is very important for us as a teacher in the future. We are prepared to be a professional teacher in order to help our students not just to understand the material but also give them motivation. Because of that I join this class besides this class is a must for for EESP. There is a question, do you really want this class? Yes, of course I really want this class. This class really help me improving my skill in teaching. Before I join this class, I really did not have any expectation in teaching, but now I have expectation in teaching. Sometimes I thought teaching is like acting in front of people. We have to be a good person because we are the model for students. That's very fun. 

There are many positive things that I gain from this class. I learn how to be a good teacher. I learn not just how to teach students but how students can learn. In class, I also learn from the way my friends teaching us, the feedback is very useful for improve my skill. So far, I have not found any negative things from this class. 

Second Reflection

In the second week of micro teaching class, I learned many things about teaching. I learned some skills such as teacher movement, teacher gesture, teacher voice, interaction style, eye contact, reinforcement of students participation, and questioning skills. I think it is very important for us to learn those skills. Through those skills, I knew that to be a teacher is not easy. Teacher  not only has to master the materials but also he/she has to have those skills in order to help the students understand the materials.

'Practice make perfect' is a good expression to describe this week's class. Two of my friends (Sally and Carolina) have experienced it. They practice teaching us in group. I do believe that they were very nervous but they did not show it in front of us. They were observed by pak Pras, Siwi and Anggi in each group. The observer gave them some comments based on their performance and some advices to improve their skills. I think the observer's comments and advices are not for Sally and Carolina only, but also for everybody in the class in order to help us improve our skills in teaching. I do believe that someday I will be a good teacher who can help the students well.

First Reflection

It was my first micro teaching class. I did not know why at that time I was pretty nervous even though I haven't taught at all. May be it because I used to think that micro teaching room was so scary.^_^. Yes, it was a scary room with three cameras, a timepiece, etc. However, after the lesson had started, I could change my perception about micro teaching class.

Micro teaching class is fun. I learned many things from this class. I learned not just how to be a good teacher but a professional teacher. A professional teacher has to have some good characteristics, such as he or she has to be creative, honest, patient, care of the students, etc. I have already understood and known that to be a teacher is not easy. Teacher should be aware of students' needs, teacher should be able to build good atmosphere in the class, have self-confidence, discipline, master the material that will be given, good appearance, etc. That characteristics are really help me to start become a professional teacher.

I have an experience in teaching my neighbor. He is actually a good kid, but he did not have a strong motivation to learn because he thought it is useless to learn because he was not able to understand these lessons. Indeed, compared with other children his abilities is below average. I think the patience of a teacher is not enough in helping him learn, but I do not know how the proper way to make the subject matter can be easily learned by the child. I really have great expectations in this class. I hope I can learn how to teach effectively and efficiently, so that students who have abilities below average can learn English well. I believe that I can find a way. (^_^)v
