Progress Test Week 2

Last week, the weather was worst, the wind was blowing so hard, thunder and lightning was always coma and go. Two of our friends who have to teach the week before have to teach on the week after.

This week was Galih’s, Eyik’s, and Luci’s turned.

Honestly, Galih’s listening materials was good and challenging but maybe it would be better if she give this listening material to the third grade of Senior High School students. In my opinion, the level of difficulty was not matching with the students of the first grade. Her listening passage was also very long. Maybe it would be better if her listening passage was only three or three and a half minutes because she also have to pay attention of the time management.
She also miss pronouncing some words and speechless in some moment.

On the other hand, Eyik do her job well but in my opinion, she gave the material too much. Maybe it would be better if she asked her students to analyze the first hand out and relate it to the materials. She did not give her students time to read it and it was hard to follow her at the first time.
It went too fast I think.

On the second material she did it better.
She gave the students some time to read the reading passage. In addition, one thing that I like from the way she taught is she did not give the meaning of the difficult words directly but she asked her students to guess the meaning.

Guessing the meaning from the context of the sentence was also one of a good ways. The teacher can list some difficult words and also prepare some words, then the students have to match the meaning from the reading passage.
This way is good to build the student’s way of thinking

I like Luci’s way to teach.
She gave a small quiz on the speaking class. She asked her students to have a conversation with his or her partner—asking and answering the questions—and they have to write the answer on the answer sheet.

These are nice and I will adopt some of their way to teach in my teaching practice 2 weeks later.
