5th Reflection

On last Tuesday, two of my friends had their teaching practice in front of the class. They were Anggi and Tia. Gilang and me became the observer of Anggi in the observer room. At that room, there were computers, some tools to record the activity in the class, and headsets which we used to listen to the class' voice. And the class couldn't see us while conversely we could watch them.

I think Anggi performed really well and she was a really cheerful teacher. Maybe she often spoke with fillers like "OK"...and she also needs to increase her awareness of using some expressions when speaking. The activity she had was fun, but maybe the drawing part was not really necessary for the speaking class. On the other hand, Tia looked really calm in her performance. Maybe she needs to be more enthusiastic. However, the class activity was really interesting. The topic was "expressing politeness" and the game was like snake and ladders game. I loved that game; it was good to make the students use the expressions of politeness well. But maybe Tia didn't really give clear instructions so that we sometimes felt confused about what we should have done in the class.

On last Thursday, we had a lottery to decide our first progress test performance's turns. I got number 13 and it is supposed to be on April 26th. Our lecturer asked us to make a lesson plan and we should submit it on Tuesday (April 5th). My topic was pretty challenging (narrative - speaking). And now I am preparing for this progress test. I find it a bit hard to design the class activity and the material, but I'm doing my best (whoa, the deadline is tomorrow!). Good luck to me! :)
