Although it was the last performance for the first microteaching class, I was not happy at all. Because, I would teach in the next two week!!!! At least, I still have 2 weeks to prepare. J every cloud has a silver line……
I also had to decide in what class I should teach the junior. Finally, I and aDria decided to take the structure IV class. I’m not confident enough to take the structure class. I am not that good in structure. Well, Adria is the Queen of structure in my class….
I could not put my whole concentration in today’s class because I was extremely sleepy. I only had 3 hours to sleep and a class at seven o’clock… what a day…
It was the d Day for Niko, Nike, Dani, Ika and Rusna
How lucky they were for having the last turn…. They could be the best
HOWEVER, the one and only person who took the advantage was Nike… She always well-prepared… Two thumbs up for her hard effort….
Nevertheless, I would like to give some comments on the performances. I do not think that I taught better, No. I did many mistakes and they should not happen in the next class teaching!!!!! Maybe the proverb is indeed right. It say, “Gajah di pelupuk mata tak terlihat, namun kuman diseberang lautan nampak jelas”….
Niko… I could not distinguish whether he was nervous or stuttered… He also made a question remain a question…. In other words, he made his confused students become much more confused… He also tried to make his students keep in silent. In fact, we were discussing the task. Maybe he forgot that noise sometimes means that the students are trying to communicate and share ideas..
Dani… Well, maybe he was keeping 1 million dollar in his pocket. He put his hand in his pocket while teaching. To me, as a student, I did not feel that he appreciate his students by doing that. Moreover, we, as a friend (not a student) had already tried to warn him not to put his hand that way. He also reads his materials while teaching. It showed that he do not really master the material.
Ika and rusna shared the same problems. They have a very soft voice and noisy students. It was indeed hard to control the students. Moreover, if the students overacted toward something.
From the whole class performance, I can conclude that we are all still have difficulty in managing the class and time. Selecting the best method is the difficulty number two. There is still two chances to improve: the second round and the junior teaching.
