my 1st class teaching

in my first class teaching, i taught procedure text and used speaking skill. my friends said that i did my set induction and set closure well. however, i still did some mistakes like ignoring other students or only focus on one students, giving unclear instruction etc. from those comments i learned so much, so i'll never do the same mistakes for my next class teaching activities.

reflection

In the last meeting i found some mistakes that was usually made by one of us. They were classroom management, grammatical mistakes, and miss pronunciation. It happened unconsciously. Then,i also learned that we shouldn't bring something while teaching because when we were nervous the students can detect it. after that, we should not reading our handout while teaching. it would be better if we learned about he material a day before teaching.

in the previous meeting i learned about how to manage a class. as Erika and Christine did, They could control the class well. They attracted their students very good, so we as students paid our more attention to their lesson. then i also learned about the way in speaking. when we were teaching, we had to have clear, loud and good pronunciation. besides, we also need to have media to attract students attention, especially when described something.

In the previous micro teaching class, I was chosen by my friends to be the first ‘victim’ of pretending to be a teacher of senior high school students. Actually, I didn’t have any preparation to teach in front of them in that time. Then, I decided to take that chance and force myself to teach them. Firstly, I came to the class and greeted the students. After that, I started the lesson by telling a story which was related to the topic that I’m going to teach. Next, I asked one of my students to come in front of the class and tell about his experience. After finishing his story I ask him to back to his seat and tell the students about the main topic of that day’s lesson. Because of my unprepared lesson, I was getting too nervous and confuse about what I was talking about. Suddenly, Mr.Prast said that I only had 5 more minutes to finish my teaching activities. Then, because I didn’t know what I had to do, I asked my students to sing ‘balonku ada lima’. It sounds awkward, I know, but I was nervous and unprepared at that time. Next, it was time to get some comments from 3 of my friends who pretended to be students. They said that I opened the class well, cheerful, and enthusiastic, but then they said that it was too much because I should be more serious in teaching. They also said that I’ve to be wise in teaching, act like what a teacher should be. After that, they thought that my song wasn’t related to the topic that I taught. Honestly, I realize about those mistakes and I thank to my friends who gave me comments. I hope I’ll be better and prepared well in the next ‘pretending to be a teacher’ activities.
