Microteaching class has ended. Microteaching is only the warming-up
activity of my teaching learning. It means that it is not the end of my
teaching learning. I have to face the real world after this. I have to
implement what I have learnt so far in English Language Education Study Program
in my PPL. In this kind of program, I will know what the duty and
responsibility to be a teacher are. Later, I have to teach the real students in
a school. Therefore, I do not have to forget what teaching skill that I have
learnt in the Microteaching class.
This semester, I have learnt how to be a good teacher. In my opinion, I
do not have to be perfect. One thing that I have to know is learning. I have to
learn my students’ characteristics and their needs. Although I have some standardization,
I have to realize that my standardization is appropriate or not for my students.
I have to make sure that I will not make a high or low standardization. It is
also one of strategies that I have to do in my PPL later on.
I reflect many things in this class. I think that being a teacher is not
just a profession but being a teacher is a wonderful art. I have to use all my
creativities in teaching. It is not as simple as I think before. After doing
some practices in my microteaching class, I realize that I have many weaknesses
which should be improved. However, I can improve my weaknesses by learning from
my friends’ performances. I know what strategies or media should be used for teaching
listening, speaking, reading, or writing. For me, this class is a wonderful
course that I have taken. I can obtain many advantages through microteaching
class.
Now! I am ready for my PPL. I am going to do my best.
