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
