Teaching Practice

1.1      Procedures of teaching

Before teaching we need to make lesson plan but actually the teachers in USHS did not make it, but they have known what they will teach. And off course for me it must. I have to arrange my activities in the class well to get a good goal.

When teaching the teacher enters to the class, the students greet, then the teacher checks the attendance. To make the comfortable situation the teacher asks the students to remove the position. The teacher tells the students about someone then they will guess the material by analyzing the motivation. The student will be ready to face the material. The teacher asked the students to open their mind about the topic. During the discussion the teacher provides the students to be active to answer or respond the questions. In next section is application that students can underline the words that related to the topic, and continued with evaluation test is contained by analyzing the sentences which have to find and fix the pronouns agreement errors on their filler and correct together, and the last the teacher asks the students to review the topic.

1.2      Time management and organizing activities

My critic teacher told me how to handle the class such as:

1.      Prepare the topic well: it is proved by prepare the lesson plan and I have to be expert of the topic that I am going to present.

2.      Prepare the supporting material.

3.      Manage the time: always control the time that I have because it will have impact to the planning that I have and also it will have impact to other lesson after my class. The unique thing that I have just known to make the effective time, the teacher will manage sixty minutes for a meeting. The topic will be finished in 2 to 3 meetings so that the teacher should be able to manage the time wisely. When starting teaching teacher give the students for about 5 minutes to prepare themselves for facing the class such as drinking and other activities. Therefore, the students will be focused on the topic.

4.      And do not forget to always give the assignment before closing the class.

1.3      Problem-solving

Something that frighten me was when my coordinator said that the students of USHS are very smart. I thought that was the problem and when I faced my students in observation class. I tried to solve it by approaching them I made small talk out side the class. It made me comfortable with them, I hoped they can assume me as their student teacher, and they can take in my teaching.

In teaching the students of seven explorers and seven adventurers are active. I felt nervous to face them when I got turn to teach. They always directly respond to the instructions and the questions that I gave. It made me enjoy the class.

1.4      Classroom management

It was not difficult to manage the class because the students of USHS are discipline. I started the class by introducing the purpose of the material then they can know what the purpose is but before teaching I asked the students to take their need as like drinking, take a pie etc. The second I checked their pleasure in the class and tried to arrange comfortable position for them and asked the students to clean the classroom. To make sure that they were ready face the class I tried to review the previous meeting. I gave the instruction and duration of the time how long the students do it. Then I will get enough time to finish the meeting well.
