reflection #1

*took picture(s) before the class* :p

Micro-teaching class began since two weeks ago.there were many feeling that I either my friends felt. Confusion, fear, indecision,and exciting as well. And I will tell everything in this first weekly reflections.

*PS: I'm sorry before because in the second meeting, I was sick.so in this reflection, I just tell everything in the first meeting and the third meeting. i 'm so sorry :)

•  What was the most Important thing I learned during the course?

In the first week, automatically, the  explanation about micro-teaching class is the most important. An explanation from A to Z. starts from short description of the course up to the assessment programs. Everything becomes very important in this first week :D  
while in the third week, I learned about "the truly meaning" of teaching. I taught in 15 minutes, but I felt like in 1 hour! and I knew why, it's just because a nervous feeling.and as a good teacher, you have to avoid that feeling.. oh ya!It happened in group-teaching, I can't imagine  how if it happens in class-teaching. hmmmm..

• What have you achieved?

As long as i said before, i was absent in the second meeting when my friends said that in that meeting they started to teach their partner (in pairs) by using formal English and explain about our material as clear as possible. Because i was absent, it means that i lost my first valuable experience so unfortunately i haven’t achieved anything.  However, after I had the experience in the third week to teach my friends in 15 minutes, i approved, at least for myself, that I could do that! I could be a teacher although there were so many weakness(es) :) 

• What did work in the classroom?

Since we have the same feelings towards this course, so i think the cohesiveness, and the cooperation between each person in the classroom is the answer. And I hope, this will be last forever ..

•  What did not work in the classroom?

Honestly, I haven’t  know the answer yet. But in my opinion from the first week yesterday, we haven’t enough courage to say our opinion in answering questions.maybe It happened because all of us were tired, hungry, sleepy or it was still in the early week so we haven’t get the "atmosphere" of the class. heheheehe

No more questions that should be answered. On the other hand I should give a question.Thus, I would like to ask.."how to overcome a confidence crisis when we are in front of the class?"

I hope this class can be a fun class, has a great quality, and of course makes the member of the class proud at least for 1 semester. Because I believe if  this class goes well, later on we who are in it too will become a better person.

Cheers!
