My Final Test Reflection In my final test of Micro teaching class, I was teaching listening skill about asking and giving services, asking and giving thing, and asking and giving fact. I had tried to do my best. At that time, Mr. Prasetyo was not in Jogja, so I haven’t got the comments from him. And also my observers did not give me the result of my teaching and learning activity in my final test. I hope that I will get the best in the end of my struggle in this micro teaching class for the sake of my better future. Thank you very much. I am still waiting for the comments,,,, ;) God Love Us…..

My Second Progress Test Reflection In this second progress test reflection of micro teaching class, I would like to share my experiences on teaching and learning practice. All of the teaching and learning practices really gave me so many lessons of creating the process of teaching and learning activity. In this second progress test, I was teaching English speaking skill for second semester of PBI students. I was satisfied with my result, and the lecture give comments that I used an attractive introduction that “awoke” the students by having them move and sing. The use of media (video) helped me to present the material more easily. Thank you very much…. ;)

My Reflection There’s No another Chance! Thursday, February 22, 2010 Micro Teaching This is my reflection again in Micro Teaching class with Pak Prast. I was so sad at that day. Why? Because I had made my lovely lectures angry and disappointed. At that time, as usual my friends and I came to the Micro Teaching lab. A week before that, Mr. Prasetyo told us that we had to prepare the materials for teaching and learning activity with the great skills implemented in the learning goals. We would get the lottery for the lucky teacher who would teach the class. All the students had to prepare the materials well because we did not know who would be the lucky one. I was very enthusiastic to prepare the materials well, because at last meeting I had done my faults in teaching and learning activity without pointing out the certain skills of my teaching and learning activity. Finally, the materials were ready with the copies for the students too. I came to the class full of spirit,...

My First Progress Test Reflection   Every first Mistake is The Most Meaningful Lesson in My Life               In the first progress test of Micro Teaching class, I got the opportunity to teach the first grade of Senior High School, Semester I and II. I was teaching speaking skill about a topic of giving compliment, thanking, and congratulating at that opportunity. I was very happy to get the topic and also the skill, because I really like speaking skill,, hehe.             I tried to design my teaching and learning activity in the enjoyable and appropriate way of learning. Because of the skill which was though was about a speaking skill, so I thought that it must be students centered. The students had to be active in the class to speak and express the topic of learning. I knew that I had done my best and I tried to make the students active in the classroom activity of speaking. However, I did some mistakes again, as the quote said that “nobody is perfect”, so in my learning,...

Become and Believe Myself   _My Fifth Reflection_                                                                           Thursday, February 18, 2010   Micro Teaching               This is the fifth meeting of Micro teaching class, I got a chance to be the first micro teacher in my coming late day. Oh No…..! I was very surprised and I was really shocked. At that time, actually I had prepared the materials of teaching and learning activity. I chose the topic of exposition paragraph which consisted of the explanation about Photosynthesis. I did recognize the topic of learning was about an exposition paragraph for third grade of Senior High School Semester I, but I did not point out the certain skill of my teaching and learning activity. Because of that fault, I was failure to extend the learning activity in a certain skill which is very important to be recognized in the process of English language learning.             My observer at that time was Ardy and Nidya. They a...

A Healthy Body is a Healthy Teaching _My Eight Reflection_ Monday, February 22, 2010 Micro Teaching That day, I learnt a new thing in my life. Of course, it was about teaching activity. In this eighth meeting of micro teaching class, I had a special performance of teaching activity from Mbak Bajeng. She was the first teacher in my group teaching at that day. She taught us in her unfit body. She got influenza at that time, but she still tried to teach us in her style. She taught us about fable, and she gave us a story about ‘The Legend of Minos, King of Crete’. Although she tried to teach us in her unfit situation, she could not produce the clear and loud voice. She spoke slowly and softly because of her influenza. That problem made us could not hear and reach her explanation clearly, moreover some of my friends who sat backside. That problem made me understand and know that without a healthy body, I could no...

Having a Great Preparation _My Seventh Reflection_ Tuesday, February 16, 2010 Micro Teaching That day was the seventh meeting of Micro Teaching class. It was a rainy day, very cool and fresh. There were three of my friends who delivered their teaching practice in my group teaching. The first teacher was Lucy. The second teacher was Mei, and the third teacher was Popon. All of them are very diligent students. I have been learning together with them since in the first semester.

I got new experiences and lessons. At that time, I became a student in Lucy’s class. She practiced her teaching very good in my group. It was clear that she prepared the teaching activity very well. We as the stu...

Faults and Failures bring New Lessons _My Sixth Reflection_ Tuesday, February 16, 2010 Micro Teaching This is the sixth meeting of micro teaching class. I came on time at that time and I was very happy. That was the meeting when I feel so appropriate in my life. I believe that having much time to prepare myself make me more confident. I have done the best in my life, and I always get something new and valuable after getting big problems. I do understand, without any faults and failures, I cannot find the truth and change my life clearly. At this opportunity, there were three of my friends who delivered and performed their teaching practice. Te first micro teacher was Dwi, the second was Susan, and the third was Nidya. All of them did the best in their practice. Dwi was trying to attract the students by giving some pictures of our lectures. We had to describe the person who we got from the picture. At that time, I was very lucky. I got the picture of my lovely micro teaching lect...

Hi Mr. Prasetyo and all of my lovely friends... It is the first time for me sharing experiences in the first meeting of Micro Teaching Class. During Micro Teaching class, I learned a lot about being a good teacher. There are so many criteria to be a good teacher which need struggles to make them true. Cute, objective, consistent, responsible, confident, cooperative, communicative, open-minded, honest, creative, friendly, adaptive, flexible, smart, up to date, humorous, patient, passionate, and so on. All of them are the needs being a good teacher in the future. I have already know, that being a good teacher is not an easy thing to do, but it gives me a special challenge to do. Anyway, when I read the handout of Micro Teaching Class, I got some questions. Hmm, yesterday in the first meeting, we talked about 'the characteristics of a good teacher' and 'how we use the teaching media' in the class appropriately. But what can a good teacher do using the teaching media approp...
