In the third week we are divided into two big groups. In this groups every student of the group should has the chance to teach her or his friend in the group. During this week, I learn two things. First, I learn how to be an observer and how to teach English for Junior High school students.
As an observer, I learn how to observe my friends’ performances and give comment on them. From my experience, being an observer is not really easy because I have to really pay attention when they are performing so that I can give the right comment to help them to improve their teaching skills. While observing my friends, I also learn from them such as their teaching styles event though they still need to improve some aspects. At least I have learned from them how to stand in front of the class as a teacher.
When the time for me to perform as a teacher in front of my friends, I feel little nervous. It is not because I do not prepare myself but it is the first time for me to teach. Anyway, although I still need to improve my teaching style, I am very grateful because I have had an experience in teaching. I also thank to my friend who help me by giving me comment on my performance. I hope next time I can perform better.
Have what you learned from your friends’ performances? How do their performances, which you say still need to improve some aspects, affect your performances later? By the way, we have come to the six meeting of our course, but your reflection here is now the third. Where are the other reflections? You have to work harder to catch up the reflections that you still miss. Good luck
