Personal Reflection [ week 11 ]

hmm.. what a nice class..

that Tuesday was the second week of micro teaching Test, on that day I was being an observer...
it was interesting to see my friends from behind the mirror... I can clearly feel the atmosphere in the class. Pronunciation, the teachers' faces during teaching, teachers' nervousness can be clearly seen..

from some of my friends' performances, I saw that they were many often doing something that actually was not important such as pawing their hair, laughing loudly, etc. from 5 teachers, I thought that there were only 2 or may be just 1 teacher who really prepared the material.
I was surprised with my friend who really prepared the material, she made a little book to be distributed to the students and I thought that it was very great idea, at least it showed me that she really-really tried to get well-performance in teaching.

mm.. I also saw some my friends made a worse performance [ I meant that their first performance was much better than their second performance].
It is also a homework for me! I have to make a better performance next two weeks..
go..go..go..!!

Personal Reflection [week 9]

Horaii!!!
There was no micro teaching class. I was happy because I got 'free time' for about 3 hours. I used my time for reviewing my lesson plan. I went to workstation at the library and made some changes in my lesson plan. I looked that my lesson plan was not good enough. I browsed for ESL/EFL website, tried to find games that could be applied in my lesson plan. But, it was difficult to find games which were suitable with my topic.
Then, I talked with my friend named nonok. I asked for her advice about games that can be used in listening class. She gave me a nice game named "whispering a sentence"! humm, I was interested with that game and finally, I would use that game.
