12th Reflection

Last Thursday there were Rei and Pauline’s performances. Their performances were good. I became observer at that time so I observed them from observation room. Actually the first performance should be Cahyo but he did not come so Rei became the first performance. I think her performance was good. Her fluency and pronunciation was good but sometimes I couldn’t hear her voice, I think she should speak louder. She could manage the class well. I think as a good teacher we should manage our class so the teaching process will work well. Next, Pauline’s performance was also good. She taught listening class. Her pronunciation was good.  However sometimes I did not understand her instruction. I think she should give a clear instruction. As a teacher we should give a clear instruction so that the students can understand what we mean. I think all the things in the class worked well. My friends have given their best for their performances, I hope I can do the same thing like my friends.

Last Tuesday there were Sabina, Delis and Tia’s performances. Their performances were good. Sabina taught listening material about introduction. The grade was for Junior High School. I like Sabina’s material because she gave us video about introduction so it became more interesting. However, I think Sabina spoke too fast. She should slow down their speaking. I know she was very fluent while speaking but her students were in Junior High School so she should pay attention on it. Next, Delis’s performance was also good. I like the way she speaking, she was very careful while speaking. She also smiled all the time. Next, Tia’s performance was also good. She taught reading class about invitation. She was a very kind teacher. She gave us chocolatos to the students who could answer her questions. All of us tried to answer the questions because we wanted to get chocolatos. I think it was good method to attract our students so the student will be more interested with the material.

Last Thursday there were Carolina, Gilang and Anggi’s performances. Their performances were good. Carolina taught writing class about invitation. She was very relaxed while teaching. Her explanation was also good. I think as a good teacher, we should give a clear explanation so our students can understand well. The second performance was Gilang. He gave us a clear explanation and instruction so we as students can understand well what he wants. The last was Anggi. She was a cheerful teacher. She always smiles all the time and it made me comfortable with her teaching. I think it is good if we get closer with our students because it will be easier to give them a good understanding about the material. I think all the things worked well in this class.

Last Tuesday was my teaching practice. I was the second person who did teaching practice at that day. I was very nervous at that time. I was afraid if I could not do my best but finally I could pass it. I think the lesson was successful because the students gave positive responds to my lesson. They answered my questions, did the exercise, and asked some questions. I was happy about that. It means that they understood my material. I think there were a lot of weaknesses of the lesson; the first one was my pronunciation, sometimes I pronounced some words incorrectly and I did not recognize it. The second one was time management. I only had five minutes left but I was still asking my students to present their conversation, my lecturer said it’s quite risky because it’s time to make set closure, I should mind it. The third was that I was speaking too much. I taught about speaking class but unconsciously I was speaking all the time. I should give the chance to my students to speak because it’s speaking class. They should speak as much as possible. The fourth was that I should make sure when I asked my students to make conversation, my students really did the assignment. I think the strengths of the lesson were I could manage the class, I reprimanded the students who did not pay attention to their friends and I involved the students to answer my questions. I think all of the students were active, they involved in the lesson. The lesson was also appropriate; it was not difficult because I just asked them to make a procedure about how to make some simple foods. I gave my best to do my teaching practice; I have prepared the handout and the material (power point) so I think I did a sufficient preparation for the lesson. If I should teach the same material next time, I will try to teach the material in the different way so I can get the different experience and respond as well.

There were Bayu and Riska’s performances last Thursday. As usual, I enjoyed my friends’ performances because I like pretending to be a student of senior High school. I think their performance were good. They gave the best for the performance. I think Bayu was good. He was a calm teacher bit he should mind his pronunciation. Sometimes he pronounced some words incorrectly. I know, it was difficult to recognize the right pronunciation if we were nervous.  Riska was also a good teacher. She really took care about the students, whether the students understood or not about the lesson. However she almost ran out of time so she just gave the simple set closure. I think it is ok but it will be better if she gave a proper set closure not in a hurry.

As usual I always enjoy my friends’ performances. I like being their student because I can do anything what I want. At last Tuesday there were Mila, Hening and Anggi’s performances. They performances were great. Last Tuesday, I became observer for them so I observed their performances from observation room. It was the first time I entered and observed my friends from observation room, the room is great especially the tool. The tools are very sophisticated. The first performance was Mila. I liked the way she spoke. She was very fluent. The accuracy was also great; I could understand what her mean well. However sometimes her voice was disappeared so I could not hear her voice clearly but her performance was good. The second performance was Hening. His performance was also good. He was a funny teacher. He gave a lot of jokes while he was teaching. The students always laugh because of his jokes. I think it was good because a comfortable situation can make the students relax with our material. The third performance was Anggi. I think Anggi was a good teacher. She was very calm and relaxed. It seemed that she really mastered the material.  I think as a good teacher, we should master the material well so we can give the material to the students appropriately.

At last Thursday, there were Rei, Yosi and Rian’s performances. The first performance was Rei. Rei was very fluent. She could explain the material well but she was run out of time. I think it happened because her warming up material was too long. From that case, I learned that we should mind the time carefully. We should manage the time well so it will not distract other lesson. The second performance was Yosi. Yosi taught listening class about giving direction. Her performance was also good. She spoke fluently. Her pronunciation was also clear. I liked the way she teach because she seemed that she really cared about us, whether we understood or not with the material. The last performance was Rian. Rian’s performance was good. He gave us a complete material but sometimes I did not understand his instruction. Sometimes, his voice was disappeared. However I liked the way he teaches. He moved around the class and helped the students if the students found difficulty.

Last week I really enjoyed my friends’ performances. There were Delis, Siwi and Tia’s performances. Their performances were great. I think Delis and Siwi will be a funny teacher in the future because they are always smiling and laughing with the students. However Delis’s performance was good. She relaxed and enjoyed her teaching. I think delis should give a deeper material so the students could understand well and have a clear understanding. After that, there was Tia’s performance. I liked her performance because she was a cheer ful teacher. She also smiled all the time so we as students felt comfortable. I liked the way she taught; she gave us a complete material. Her instruction was also good and it gave me a lesson. As a good teacher we should give a clear instruction so our students will not get confused with the material or assessment.  The last performance was Siwi. Siwi was also a good teacher. She gave her best. I liked Siwi’s material. The material was very interesting. It was a clear, funny and interesting material. Siwi taught listening class about narrative text. She gave us a simple movie about bear. It was very interesting; we not only could listen to the story but also could watch the picture. As a good teacher, we should prepare our material well. We should give the interesting material so our student will not get bored with our lesson.
