ABOUT MICRO TEACHING

Microteaching, a teacher training technique

currently practised worldwide, provides teachers

with an opportunity to perk up their teaching skills

by improving the various simple tasks called

teaching skills. Microteaching, with its

demonstrated success among novices and seniors,

promotes real-time teaching experiences.

OTHERS.’ –MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATÜRK

WEDNESDAY 16/2/2022

ON THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS, THE LECTURER

EXPLAINS TO US THE SOW OF THIS SUBJECT.

MOREOVER, THROUGHOUT THIS SEMESTER WHAT

WE GOING TO LEARN AND WHAT IS TASK WE NEED

TO DO FOR THIS COURSE WAS EXPLAINED IN THIS

CLASS. LECTURER EXPLAIN HOW THE PORTFOLIO

FOR THIS SUBJECT SHOULD BE DONE AND ALSO

EXPLAINED IN DETAIL WHAT IS OUR MINOR MAJOR

PROJECT IN THIS SUBJECT. .

Furthermore, the lecturer conducted

a small Q & A to taste prior

knowledge on this subject, such as

microteaching and the difference

between micro and mock teaching.

From the first day in the classroom, I

was able to refresh and recall what I

have learnt during my diploma

microteaching. Recall sessions like

this help me assess my strengths and

knowledge in a subject. To remember

what I have studied today, I also

revised how to lesson plan again

FRIDAY 18/2/2022





FOR TODAY'S CLASS, IN THE TUTORIAL SESSION, WE HAVE

GONE THROUGH SLIDES. FROM THE COURSE, WE LEARNED THE


TYPES OF MICROTEACHING AND THE ADVANTAGES OF

MICROTEACHING. OVERALL FROM THE CLASS, I UNDERSTAND


THAT MICROTEACHING HAS A NUMBER OF BENEFITS. IT

FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING AND IMPROVING SPECIALISED

TEACHING ABILITIES AS WELL AS AVOIDING MISTAKES. IT

ALLOWS ME TO COMPREHEND ESSENTIAL CLASSROOM

BEHAVIOURS. IT BOOSTS THE LEARNER TEACHER'S SELF-


ASSURANCE.
EXPERIMENTS ARE CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF EVERY NOTION.


MANY EXPERIMENTS ARE CARRIED OUT IN MICRO-TEACHING

TO TEST THE TEACHERS' ABILITIES.

SUPERVISORS, FOR EXAMPLE, RUN TRIALS IN WHICH THE

LENGTH OF LESSONS, TIME DURATION, AND STUDENT


STRENGTH IN THE CLASS ARE ALL ALTERED. THESE ABILITIES

ARE EVALUATED IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.

WEDNESDAY 23/2/2022

FROM TODAY'S CLASS, I HAVE LEARNED THE

IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING OBJECTIVES, CONTENT

STANDARDS AND LEARNING STANDARDS OF THE

LESSON PLAN. I UNDERSTAND THAT LEARNING

OBJECTIVES PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN

LESSONS; IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE CLEAR

LEARNING OBJECTIVES. THEY FACILITATE THE

IDENTIFICATION OF WHAT STUDENTS SHOULD BE

ABLE TO PERFORM DUE TO EDUCATION. AS A

RESULT, THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORE EFFECTIVE

INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING, ACTIVITIES, AND

EVALUATIONS ARE MADE POSSIBLE. NOT ONLY

THAT, BUT FROM THIS CLASS, I HAVE LEARNED

HOW TO WRITE A CLEAR AND MEASURABLE

LEARNING OBJECTIVE. OBJECTIVES ALWAYS

CONSIST OF BEHAVIOUR SKILLS THAT STUDENTS

MUST ATTAIN AND MEASURE THE PUPIL'S

PERFORMANCES.

FRIDAY 25/3/2022



FOR TODAY'S CLASS, SOME OF THE STUDENTS WERE

CHOSEN TO CONDUCT A DEMO TEACHING BASED ON THE

PREVIOUS LESSON. THE PREVIOUS LESSON IS BASED ON

STIMULUS VARIATIONS. THIS IS A GOOD TASK WHERES AS

IT GIVES AN OVERVIEW AND GOOD PRACTICES FOR US

TO DO BETTER FOR OUR PRESENTATION STAGE MOCK

TEACHING IN UPCOMING WEEKS. FROM TODAY'S

ACTIVITY, I WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT,

STIMULUS VARIATION IS A TECHNIQUE FOR IMPROVING

CHILDREN'S LEARNING BY ASSISTING THEM IN REMAINING

FOCUSED. IT'S A STRATEGY TO KEEP PUPILS' INTEREST

AND ATTENTION. AN INSTRUCTOR WHO CAN SWITCH

THINGS UP. AS A RESULT, THE STIMULI IN HIS OR HER

INSTRUCTION BECOME MORE EFFECTIVE. THERE IS A LOT

OF PARTICIPATION FROM THE STUDENTS, AND THE

OBJECTIVES OF THE LESSON WERE MET TO A

CONSIDERABLE EXTENT

WEDNESDAY 30/3/2022

FOR THIS CLASS, WE STUDY THE DEPTH OF

INFORMATION ABOUT MICROTEACHING AND THE

ADVANTAGE OF MICRO-TEACHING. OVERALL

FROM THE CLASS, I WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND

THAT, MICRO-TEACHING HELPS TO PREPARE AN

INDIVIDUAL OR TRAINEE TEACHER BECAUSE

HELPS TO PREPARE FOR REAL TEACHING

PRACTICES AND BOOSTS THE CONFIF]DENCE

LEVEL IN MY TEACHING SKILLS. MOREOVER,

THROUGHOUT THE LESSON, I WAS ABLE TO

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE 8 SKILLS OF MICRO-

TEACHING SUCH AS SKILLS, REINFORCEMENT,

DEMONSTRATION AND MORE.

FRIDAY 1/4/2022

FOR TODAY'S CLASS, WE ALSO DO SHORT MOCK

TEACHING AMONG RESPECTIVE TUTORIAL CLASS

MEMBERS. THE SAME STRATEGY WHICH IS STIMULUS

VARIANTS WAS PRACTISED DURING THE TUTORIAL

CLASS. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, I LEARN THAT, DURING

A LESSON, A TEACHER'S ACTIVITIES THAT ESTABLISH

AND MAINTAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF MAXIMUM ATTENTION

ON THE PART OF THE STUDENTS, SUCH AS MANNERISMS,

VOICE, PERSONALITY, MEDIA, AND MATERIALS UTILISED

DURING INSTRUCTION, ARE REFERRED TO AS TEACHING

TECHNIQUE. NOT ONLY THAT, CERTAIN CRITERIA SHOULD

BE FOLLOWED TO SUCCEED IN THIS STRATEGY WHICH IS

AN EDUCATOR ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE A GOOD VOICE

PROJECTION, REQUIRED TO HAVE GOOD STUDENTS -
TEACHER INTERACTIONS, INTERACTION TEACHER-

STUDENT-TEACHER, INTERACTION TEACHER-GROUP, AND

GOOD VERBAL PARTICIPATION OF THE STUDENTS. IN MY

POINT OF VIEW, TODAY'S TASK WILL BE GOOD PRACTICE

FOR ME TO ENHANCE MY STIMULUS VARIANT STRATEGY

IN TEACHING SKILLS AND I HOPE I WILL DO BETTER IN MY

MOCK TEACHING IN STAGE TWO.

WEDENSDAY 13/4/2022

IN TODAY’S CLASS, WHICH WAS CONDUCTED ON THE ONLINE

PLATFORM AND REQUIRED TO PRESENT OUR MAJOR PROJECT ESL

BLOG. IN MY OPINION, CREATING A BLOG NOT ONLY IMPROVES

CREATIVITY, BUT THIS TYPE OF ASSESSMENT BUILDS CONFIDENCE

AND SKILLS IN TEACHING SKILLS. LEARNING TO CREATE BLOGS FOR

TEACHING, CAN BENEFIT BOTH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS FROM THE

BLOGGING PROCESS IN TERMS OF PERSONAL GROWTH. BLOGGING

PROVIDES REINFORCEMENT AND FEEDBACK OUTSIDE THE SMALL

CLASSROOM COMMUNITY THROUGH COMMENTS. THIS CAN LEAD TO

INCREASED SELF-ESTEEM, PERSONAL REFLECTION AND GROWTH, AND

CONFIDENCE. NOT ONLY THAT, CREATING BLOGS WILL, ENCOURAGES

AUTONOMOUS LEARNING BY ALLOWING STUDENTS TO TAKE MORE

CONTROL OF THEIR LEARNING AND ENCOURAGE LEARNERS TO

IMPROVE THEIR READING AND WRITING SKILLS. FURTHERMORE, FROM

LECTURE FEEDBACK FROM MY ESL BLOG, I LEARNED THAT THE

COLOUR AND ALIGNMENT OF THE BLOG ARE VERY IMPORTANT,

ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS AN EDUCATION BLOG, SOMETIMES

UNATTRACTIVE COLOURS MAKE STUDENTS FEEL BORED WHEN USING

IT.

FRIDAY 15/4/2022

IN TODAY’S CLASS, WE DID MOCK TEACHING ON

THE PRESENTATION STAGE. FOR THIS STAGE, I

HAVE CREATED SLIDES AND ALSO A SMALL

ONLINE ACTIVITY IN WORDWALL FOR THE MOCK

TEACHING. A TOTAL OF 7 MINUTES WAS TAKEN

TO FINISH THIS STAGE AND THIS MOCK

TEACHING WAS HELD ON THE ONLINE PLATFORM

AND ONLY AMONG THE GROUPMATES. THE

FEEDBACK FROM THE GROUP MEMBERS WAS

POSITIVE AND THEY COMMENTED THAT I HAVE

USED ALL THE STRATEGIES SUCH AS STUDENTS -

TEACHERS INTERACTION, QUESTION AND

ANSWER TECHNIQUES, ETC.

WEDNESDAY 20/4/2022




IN TODAY’S CLASS, I LEARNED ABOUT

QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES. IN THIS CHAPTER, I

LEARNED THE VARIOUS TYPES OF QUESTIONING

TECHNIQUES, THE STRATEGIES TO HANDLE

STUDENT RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS, AND THE

DIFFERENT LEVELS OF BLOOM’S TAXONOMY IN

DEVELOPING QUESTIONS. IN THIS LESSON, I

UNDERSTAND THAT A GOOD QUESTION ALWAYS

HAS CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS, UNAMBIGUOUS,

CLEARLY STATED, COMPREHENSIVE, THOUGHT-

PROVOKING AND MANY MORE. FROM THE

CHAPTER, I COULD SAY THAT QUESTIONING

STUDENTS DURING LESSONS VERY ESSENTIAL

WAS TO ASSESS COMPREHENSION, I.E. TO

UNCOVER MISCONCEPTIONS AND PROVIDE

CORRECTIVE COMMENTS AND ASSIST STUDENTS

IN DEVELOPING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF

THEMSELVES AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT, SHARING

THEIR DEEPER THINKING, AND MAKING DEEPER

CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE TOPIC.

FRIDAY 22/4/2022

IN TODAY’S CLASS, WE PRACTICE WHAT WE

LEARNED DURING THE LECTURE CLASS, WHICH IS

QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES. WE ARE REQUIRED
TO CHOOSE A TOPIC AND A STAGE FOR THE

DEMONSTRATION AND NEED TO QUESTION

TECHNIQUES AMONG OUR CLASSMATES. I WAS

NOT CHOSEN TO DEMONSTRATE THE

QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES DUES TO TIME

CONSTRAINING. EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT ABLE

TO DO THE DEMONSTRATION, I WAS ABLE TO

WATCH MY PEER'S PERFORMANCES. IT WAS

GOOD LEARNING SINCE I CAN LEARN FROM THEM

HOW TO DO QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES AND

ALSO LEARN TO BETTER A FEW CRITERIA FROM

THEIR MISTAKES.

WEDNESDAY 26/4/2022



IN TODAY’S CLASS, WE LEARNT A NEW TOPIC WHICH IS

“CLOSURE IN A LESSON”. FROM THE TOPIC. I LEARNED

THAT CLOSURE IS VERY IMPORTANT IN THE LESSON

BECAUSE IT HELPS- TO RECALL WHAT THE STUDENTS

HAVE LEARNT IN THE ENTIRE CLASS. THE CLOSURE IS

THE STAGE IN WHICH YOU WRAP UP A LESSON PLAN

AND ASSIST STUDENTS IN ORGANISING THE

KNOWLEDGE IN THEIR MINDS IN A RELEVANT

CONTEXT. OTHER THAN THAT, IT ASSISTS STUDENTS

IN BETTER UNDERSTANDING WHAT THEY HAVE

LEARNED AND GIVES A MEANS FOR THEM TO APPLY

WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED TO THE WORLD AROUND

THEM. TOPICS.

TUESDAY 26/4/2022

Not only that , from the topic

I learned that, but some are

also the criteria should be


required to follow in the

closure to do the best closure


for the students such as

reviewing activities,


summarising the lesson and

giving a preview of the

upcoming topics.

FRIDAY 29/4/2022

IN TODAY’S CLASS, WE ARE ASSIGNED TO DO A

TASK. IN PAIRS, WE WERE REQUIRED TO DO A

CLOSURE ACTIVITY IN THE CLASSROOM. I AND

MY TEAMMATE CHOOSE THE TOPIC OF

WEATHER FROM FORM TWO AND DID A SMALL

CLOSURE ACTIVITY FOR THEM. WE ALSO

INCLUDE A PREVIEW OF THE NEXT CHAPTER IN

SMALL SPIN IN THE WHEEL GAME TECHNIQUES.

THE FEEDBACK I GOT FROM THE LECTURER WAS

POSITIVE BUT CROSS THE TIME LIMIT OF THIS

STAGE. THIS STAGE ONLY REQUIRED US TO

PRESENT FOR 3 MINUTES BUT WE EXCEED THE

LIMIT AND PRESENTED FOR FOUR MINUTES. SO

FROM THE ACTIVITY, I LEARN THAT REVIEWING,

RECAPPING, AND SUMMARIZATION IS VERY

ESSENTIAL BUT THE MORE IMPORTANT THING IS

TIME IN THIS STAGE.

WEDNESDAY 11/5/2022





IN TODAY'S CLASS, WE LEARNED ABOUT THE

THINGS THAT SHOULD BE PERFORMED IN THE

CLOSURE STAGE. THROUGHOUT TODAY'S CLASS,

I UNDERSTAND THAT CLOSURE IS THE STAGE IN

WHICH YOU WRAP UP A LESSON PLAN AND

ASSIST STUDENTS IN ORGANISING THE

KNOWLEDGE IN THEIR MINDS IN A RELEVANT

CONTEXT. THIS HELPS PUPILS UNDERSTAND

WHAT THEY'VE STUDIED AND GIVEN THEM THE

MEANS TO APPLY WHAT THEY'VE LEARNED IN

THE REAL WORLD. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IT ALSO

ENCOURAGES PUPILS TO MENTALLY ORGANISE

AND SAVE WHAT THEY'VE LEARNT WHILE ALSO

CLARIFYING ANY REMAINING

MISUNDERSTANDINGS SO AS AN EDUCATOR, IS

AN IMPORTANT ROLE FOR US TO PERFORM THIS

STAGE EFFECTIVELY.

FRIDAY 13/5/2022



IN TODAY’S LESSON, WE BEGIN WITH OUR MOCK

TEACHING FOR THE CLOSURE STAGE. A TOTAL

OF 7 MINUTES WAS ASSIGNED FOR ME TO DO

MOCK TEACHING FOR THIS STAGE. FOR THIS

STAGE, I PREPARED A SMALL QUIZ VIA KAHOOT

APPLICATIONS AND SPIN IN THE WHEEL GAME

FOR A PREVIEW OF THE NEXT CHAPTER. I HAVE

COVERED ALL THE CRITERIA THAT I HAVE

LEARNED ABOUT CLOSURE, SUCH AS REVIEWING

STUDENTS' PREVIOUS WORKS, SUMMARIZING

AND GIVING HUNTS FOR UPCOMING CHAPTERS.

MOREOVER, I ALSO LEARNED MORE FROM MY

CLASSMATES AND DIFFERENT KINDS OF

ACTIVITIES THAT COULD BE PERFORMED DURING

THE CLOSURE STAGE.
