Reflection On The Second Week Of Micro Teaching Class

In the second week I Learned how to be an English teacher through peer teaching. I chose to teach grammar for first grade of junior high school student. In the begining I felt little nervous because I was afraid of making mistake. But when I tried to teach, I could enjoy it and teach the student as well as I could.

I realize that my performance at that time was not really good because there were some mistakes that I did. For example, there was no lesson plan, no media, and handout. I chose to teach first grade of Junior high school student but did not really use the language of their level. I treated my student as if she were a third grade of senior high school student. That was why I got many qustions from my student because she did not really understand my explanation.

After teaching, I got some comments from my partner and general comments from the lecturer which help me to improve my teaching skills. My partner comments on my first performance really helped me to be better in teaching. I also learned from my first performance to be more creative in teaching such as how to give an intersting example, how to attract student’s attention when they get borred and how to treat the student and use the language based on their level.

Reflection On The First Meeting Of Micro Teaching Class

First of all, I want to say that being a teacher is not as easy as I imagine before and I myself have never been a teacher even to teach a playgroup student. Therefore, when I came to micro teaching class, there were a lot of feelings that came into my mind. I felt very nervous. During the class, I always thought that being a teacher is hard but I have to.

When I saw the lecturer who taught us enthusiastically, it seems easy to be a teacher. But when I heard the word teach itself, I felt so scare. Why? Because I thought about standing in front of many students and many couples of eyes will watch me. But I tried to make it easy and joined the class patiently. Even though being a teacher is not easy, I have to train myself by practicing. I believe that people who can teach well also felt the same as what I felt at the first time. The only one thing that I can do to reduce my confusion is be brief and keep practicing

In the first meeting of this class, I learned about “Who is a good teacher and how to be a good teacher”. I also learned how to open and close a meeting in a class when I become a teacher. As a teacher candidate, I have to be creative, confident, patient, and so many others. To have those characteristics, I have to practice more and encourage myself to love teaching.

During this first meeting, I also learned from my lecturer and some friends who shared their experiences how to handle some difficulties that most teachers found in a class. From their experiences, I could conclude that whatever the situation that a teacher find in a class can be solved depend on how creative the teacher himself. So to be a good teacher, I have to be a creative person first and practice more in teaching and solving the problem.

PERSONAL REFLECTION ON LANGUAGE TEACHING MEDIA CLASS

First of all I want to say that Language Teaching Media is a very interesting class. Through this class I know that there are many medias which a teacher can use to teach language. I also learn how to develop material that I want to teach using those medias.
As a teacher candidate, I am helped to know how to tech English using any kinds of media starting from the very abstract to the real one. This class also helps to be a creative teacher. I learn how to gain students’ attention, how to make appropriate exercises for the students. During this class I also learn how to provide feedback for the students based on the exercise that I give.
I also realize that there were some difficulties that I found during this class. I got confuse when we were asked to develop listening material using sound track, movie maker and Microsoft publisher. I tried hard to learn it and asked my friend to help me so that I could solve them.
