Reflection #11

For my progress test 2, Nimas and I decided to teach speaking skill in interactional speech for semester 2.
I chose speaking because I can involve the students in the class to develop their speaking ability and develop mine as well J I had to teach giving directions. Frankly speaking, I really excited to teach in the lower class because as we know, the atmosphere of course will be different because we haven’t know each other before, and also there will be no “pretending situation” like if we teach in micro class. Hahaha. And when the time has come, I felt really happy! First, because I could explain the material well and the “scenario” that I’ve prepared went well. Second, the teacher, Ms.Dewi said that I did well. I l could learn a lot from my friend who performed first in the previous week. And you know what? She gave me 4 for almost all assessment aspects! Yaaaiiyy!  :) And the third, the happiest thing was the students in that class were really rawks! They gave much attention to my explanation, they willing to participate in the class, and they were really respect all the micro teachers (or maybe because they don’t want to get “karma” later? :P) in short, It was so much fun to be a teacher * at that time* hahahhahaha

Cheers!

Finally, the first time for final test came! One of my friends looked unhappy because she got beginning turn.too beginning, she said: p then I tried to support her by giving “supporting words” such as “gek ndang selesai, malah enak!” hahhahaa. I know that words will give her additional support. 

However, everything went back to the person itself. If she still has unhappy feeling, ya...We can’t do anything. And when the D-day came, she wasn’t much better than her previous turn. I mean, her previous turn was better than this time. From that experience, I learn something.something that is soooo important. “Don’t ever persuade your mind with something bad, unless you want to ruin everything become worse” this my-new-wise-word means that if you face something that you claim as a bad thing, just face it and think about the other way. Find a way to make it look interesting in your eyes.insyaallah you will “pass” that problem!

Don’t you believe, do you? Well...Just try then! :)

Cheers!

Finally the progress test 1 will come to the end. However, we cannot take a rest because we will immediately have lottery for final test. Fyuuhh! Bless me everybody, so I will get the lucky number! ;D

‘Till this time, all the students did the “job” well, not only for the students who became the teacher, but also for them who became the observer. At that moment, I felt that this class has already found its atmosphere.hahhaha. 

Why did I say so? Because each of us have willingness to help our friend who teach in front instead of create so so many jokes. :D  thus, I hope later on in final test time, all of my friends in class will do the same thing again..amin!

Reflection #7

Whoaaaaa!! Finally the time has come! I had to teach in front as the test 1. In my opinion, the lesson was successful because I did not feel too nervous, of course I felt it, but I tried to overcome as good as I can. In the beginning, I tried to give a warm-up activity by telling a story and asked them to answer the question based on the story. I thought that can be an effective way to get the students’ attention so hopefully they were interested in learning. However, as a person who still in progress, the weaknesses of the lesson at that time was the material. The observers said that I have to prepare more listening materials because I taught listening skills. Honestly, it’s kinda difficult to find listening material about procedure topic and my mistake was “why didn’t I record my voice to add listening materials?” :p soooo, next time If I get the chance to teach listening skill again, I will record my voice.hahha

Cheers!
