My name is Ema




Shaheera Safiqah



binti Mailan. I was




born at Hospital



Kota Belud, Sabah.




Currently, I'm taking




Diploma In Tesl at



Management and




Science University, Shah Alam. I was in my




final year of diploma in MSU. My dream





was to become a lawyer, but due to my




father's advice, I applied DTESL and now I




fall in love with this course. Now, my




dream was to teach students and guide




them to become a better person.

As a future educator, I have my own principle when




I start being a teacher which is :








I will provide my students with resources



material as long as I can in order to help them



improve




I also will make sure that I maintain a good



relationship with my students in order to ensure



they feel comfortable with me thus when they



have any problem they will not feels shy to



share their problems with me




Ensure the learning environment is in a positive



environment and create an active learning



environment

A C K N O W L E D G E M E N T

















First of all, I would like to say thank you to



my beloved lecturers, Madam Nirmala and



Miss Saadia for their invaluable guidance




throughout my journey in completing this


subject. I am very fortunate to have a




lecturer that never tires in making sure



their students understand the objectives of



the subject.








I also would like to thank my fellow friends



and groupmate for their cooperation



throughout the class.

First and foremost, there are many things



that I've learned from this subject. The first



thing is, I've learned the importance of




having a good lesson plan and making sure


the activity that I carried out as a teacher




should be a suitable activity for my



student's level.








Moreover, from this subject, I've learned



the importance of managing time very well.



Good time management is very important



as it will define whether we carry out our



lesson successfully or not.

SET INDUCTION (WEEK 2 / 16TH JULY 2021











REFLECTION






The first microteaching session was a set



induction stage. I chose Year 4 Module 8 (Amazing



Animal) as my topic. During the stage, I start my



class by greeting the students and asking them to



recite prayers before starting our lesson. After



that, in order to make students participate in the



class, I ask them questions like what is their



favourite animal and the reason they like them.



Then, I explain the objectives for the lesson of



the day. Lastly, to test student's knowledge, I



showed them images of animals and asked them



to identify them.

SET INDUCTION (WEEK 2 / 16TH JULY 2021












FEEDBACKS




Set induction follows the criteria

Good intonation


Interactive


Interesting teaching aid


Lack of gestures






WAYS TO IMPROVE





I should use gestures more as it will help students



understand the lesson more. Research has shown



that using gestures is a great idea. They can add a



layer of meaning and expression, show your



commitment to getting the message across, and



make it easier for your audience to follow along.

STIMULUS VARIATION (WEEK 3 / 22TH JULY 2021)










REFLECTION





The next session is for the stimulus variation


stage. I start the lesson by showing the images



of animals but with their characteristics. To



make sure students are focused and



participate in the lesson, I asked them 1 by 1 to



read all the characteristics from the slides.



After they read, I gave them a quiz using



menti.com. The quiz is a question based on the



simple text they read about the animals before.

FEEDBACKS




Good activity for students

Very good interaction


Interactive


Interesting teaching aid


Use too much time in reading / should make it


short so that able to know the results of the quiz






WAYS TO IMPROVE



I should make the reading session short by


asking 3 or 4 people to read instead of asking


all students to read. Other than that, I think I


should apply stimulus variation more as it

proved that it helps me when teaching.

QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES (WEEK 4 / 30TH JULY


2021)






REFLECTION





For questioning techniques, it was during week


4. The activity that I conducted during this



stage is basically, students just need to read a



passage about Kinah's favourite animal and



answer the questions based on the passage.



The question is a question that is suitable for



intermediate students. Students need to write



the answer on a padlet that I share the link



after they are done reading the passage.

QUESTIONING TECHNNIQUES (WEEK 4 / 30TH JULY

FEEDBACKS




Distribute the questions very well among

students


No need to show the text again for students / ask


their friends whether they can help


Interactive and good interaction with students










WAYS TO IMPROVE




From Miss Saadia feedbacks, I should not show



the text again for my students if they cannot



answer the questions. Instead she suggested



that it is more better to ask other students



whether they can help their friend or not.

REINFORCEMENT STRATEGIES AND TEACHING AID


( WEEK 5 / 6TH AUGUST 2021)






REFLECTION





During week 5, we are required to do


reinforcement strategies and teaching aid for



microteaching sessions. Following last week's



activity ( Questioning Techniques ) where



students need to read a passage about Kinah's



favourite animal then answer the question,



this week's lesson students are required to



write about their favourite animal and the



reason why they like that animal. Students



need to write their answers on a padlet that I



prepared.

REINFORCEMENT STRATEGIES AND TEACHING AID


( WEEK 5 / 6TH AUGUST 2021)








FEEDBACKS




Should be more strict when students are out of

control


Interactive / fun


Good activity to have with students









WAYS TO IMPROVE





From Miss Saadia feedbacks, I should become



more strict when my students become



uncontrollable to ensure the learning process



is going back into the track.

CLOSURE ( WEEK 6 / 12TH AUGUST 2021 )










REFLECTION





For closure, the activity that I conducted is very


simple. Instead of me summarizing the whole



lesson, I asked students to summarize the



lesson from their point of view. I also asked



some questions such as what is their favourite



activity during the lesson.

CLOSURE ( WEEK 6 / 12TH AUGUST 2021 )













FEEDBACKS



Very good closure


Simple and good

Time is managed well












WAYS TO IMPROVE






I think I should ask more students to



summarize the lesson to make sure they don't



feel left out. Other than that, in the future, I



will make sure my students participate



actively in giving their opinion before the


lesson ends.

ESL BLOG



PRESENTATION







( WEEK 6 / 9TH AUGUST 2021 )








REFLECTION





For Project 2, we are required to create a blog to



help students to learn English easier. I and my



partner Octavia decided to choose Year 4 Module 7



(Helping Out) for our blog. We use wix.com in order



to create our blog. There are 4 skills and each skill



need 2 activity. Through discussion between me and



my partner, I took listening and reading skills


meanwhile she took speaking and writing skills. For




listening skills, the activity that I prepared is,


students need to watch a video (two different



videos - each for each activity). Activity one



required students to answer questions based after



they watch the video provided.

ESL BLOG



PRESENTATION








( WEEK 6 / 9TH AUGUST 2021 )













Meanwhile, for activity 2, students are required




to listen and watch a song video and rearrange



the lyrics while listening to the song.




Meanwhile for the reading skills activity, both



activities I provided text and activity 1 required



students to read and answer the questions. While




activity 2, students need to identify whether the



statements given are true or false. It is a very




good experience for me, as it will help me in the



future to create good learning materials for my




students in the future.

ESL BLOG



PRESENTATION








( WEEK 6 / 9TH AUGUST 2021 )









FEEDBACKS




Good as we put the advantages of the website on

the homepage


Colourful/suitable for Year 4


Good activities


Should make the intro for each activity part not


to bright when the activity page is plain






WAYS TO IMPROVE




Based on the feedbacks that Madam Nirmala



gave, I think we should make the pages for the



activity too plain while the intro is too



colourful. There should be a balance between



each page to make it neater

( WEEK 7 / 16TH AUGUST 2021 ))














REFLECTION



For Mock Teaching, each of us was assigned




with a different year and different skills to



focus on. As for me, I was assigned to do




Year 3 and the skills are reading skills. The



stages that we are going to focus on are the



Set Induction, Presentation, and Closure




stage and we need to finish it within 15



minutes. I choose Welcome Our World which




is the first unit in the Year 3 textbook. The



activity that I conducted for each stage is




very simple and light as it was the first topic.












29

MOCKTEACHING







( WEEK 7 / 16TH AUGUST 2021 ))
















During set induction, I just greet the



students, ask them how they are feeling and




explain to them the objectives for the lesson



of the day. While for the presentation stage, I




showed my students a short text about Chris



and his friend’s favourite thing to do. Next for



closure, I asked my students to summarize




the whole lesson to see what they have



learned. The extension task that I gave them




is a writing task where they need to write



about their favourite thing to do and also




their friends just like Chris.

FEEDBACKS




Delivery and interaction was good

Learning Objectives is good


Set induction was too brief


Avoid using "you guys" / language proficiency


have slightly error






WAYS TO IMPROVE




Based on the feedbacks that Madam Nirmala



gave, I think I should make my set induction



more interesting rather than making it too



brief. Other than that, I should practice and



learn to improve my proficiency.

PORTFOLIO



REFLECTION













REFLECTION



By completing this portfolio, I managed to




identify and analyze my strengths and



weaknesses when teaching. I was also able




to reflect on myself by doing all the



reflection as I was listing all the strengths




and weaknesses from the feedback that



Madam Nirmala and Miss Saadia gave and




also my classmates. This portfolio is a



summarization of my journey on this




subject. It was enjoyable creating this



portfolio as I was able to design it the way I



want following my own preferences.
