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.
