It’s getting interesting….

Week by week microteaching is getting harder and harder and it’s also getting interesting for me. However, I have to keep on “struggling and fighting” in this subject. My friends who did their class teaching practice was good and I believe that they will be better in their class teaching.

Actually, I had prepared my material for the class teaching practice. It’s about news items in a form of listening. I planned to teach the first grade of senior high school and I had prepared all that I wanted.

I had asked Dwi whether he would be the first volunteer for the first teacher or not because I want to be the second teacher. However, before the class my friend told me that if I would teach listening I have to bring my own laptop and speaker(s). In fact, I did not bring all of the media that was needed because the computer in the laboratory was still broken because of the thunder. I just hoped that I could use the computer in the microteaching laboratory.

I had designed a different way to teach me students by added a song which is quite related to the material to make them feel comfortable in my class.
Actually, it was only one teacher on that day and I felt doubt to say “Yes, Sir. I want to be the volunteer for the class teaching practice”.
But I was afraid. I was afraid that I would not have the change.
Yes it was true. I had not changed to be the teacher.

Phe was the only volunteer at that time. She taught very well. She taught reading but she looked like teaching pronunciation because when she asked the students to read the reading passage aloud, she always stopped to correct the students’ pronunciation.

Mr. Prast said that it would be better if she let her students read all of the passage until they finished it. Then, she could give corrections for her students’ pronunciation. On the other hand, she could also write the words that were pronounced incorrect in the whiteboard. After that, she could ask the students to pronounce the words together.

I hope these comment could be useful for my class teaching.
