Due to Nattakarn’s
micro teaching on the 22nd October, 2014, I would like to reflect
her teaching to develop and adopt some useful techniques in my teaching in the
future. Her micro teaching is related to “House Chore” The
time required in this lesson is 50 minutes. I found that her micro teaching is
quite useful lesson, but she looks so exciting. It can be said that this work
needs to be developed and improved. Lesson plan “House Chore” consists of learning
standards, objectives, instructional materials, evaluation, lesson plan
outline, and rubric. There are three parts in her teaching activities. First, it is the pre-task for greeting and introducing the lesson. Second, it is the task cycle for students to practice and do the activities about house chore.
Nattakarn's micro teaching was quite interesting. She began the lesson by showing the video about the house chore. Then she taught the concerning
vocabulary about house chore such as , mop the floor , dusting , sweep
the floor ,and so on. Next , she let students play game about the lesson that they have learnt. Two team volunteer of five came in the
front of the class and played guessing game. Both team members must stand in
line and the first person picked the picture. Then , they tried to act to tell
the next person what the picture is. Finally, the last person had to answer what
the picture is, for example, if the first student picks the picture of mopping
the floor , he has to act like mopping to tell what the picture is. The language focus of the lesson is the modal verb "have to". The students then had to practice conversation from the dialogue
provided and answer the questions relating to the conversation. Next, teacher
picked up the language focus and explained how to use it. Finally, she finished the
class, by summarizing the lesson that students have learnt and follow by saying goodbye.
To sum up, Nattakarn' s micro teaching is good and easy for young learner to understand. But, there is something that should
be developed. Firstly, it is the way to describe the contents of the lesson. It might affect students to lost of attention on
it as possible. Second, it is the handout and the exercise she provided should
be more interesting, because it seems boring.
Finally, I would like to suggest that she should put more activities that makes students have an interaction between each other.
