The Next Steps to be a Good Teacher

This week, in micro teaching class, I learned many new things about teaching-learning skill, such as verbal and non-verbal reinforcement, technique to pause, mastering the material, etc. These kinds of new things are really help me to improve and increase my teaching skill. Besides, when I was be an observer I also learned from my friends who were practice teaching in front of the class.

Be an observer also gave me illustration how to teach in front of the class. However, their mistake could also be the things, which I had to avoid. Things that I can imitate from my friends such as speaking clearly and loud —pronunciation, diction, grammar are important too— and then, well preparation, focus, etc.

Actually, it is right that the most important thing is that preparation is the most important thing in teaching-learning process. It can make us unconfident and looks “silly” in front of our students if we are not prepare our material because the students can “smell” it.

In my opinion, if we want to be a good and professional teacher we have to prepare all of the things we need because our preparation can support our success in teaching-learning process.

We should not give up to be a good and professional teacher. We should keep on practice, practice, and practice.

Viva la Teaching!
