micro-teaching reflection

In the last class, Ayana and I did a micro-teaching together .
Though we couldn't make a class as we wanted but I had a very good experience because of everyone.
Thank you Ayana and thank you for all students that took our class.

In class, we've faced some difficulties and sometimes didn't know what to do. And of course, we succeeded in some points. So I want to write each of them below.


strong points
1. In doing practice, we repeated the important phrases many times so that students might understand the key point soon. And also they could know how to use the words gradually in doing so.

2.Cards were very useful to understood the situation and got the meaning of the sentence.


weak points
1. In a conversation, we only talked each other and made students guess the situation. But it was a little bit difficult for junior high school students to understand in one time. So if we repeated the sentence again, or if we used cards or physical movements, it would be more understandable for them.
And I thought I should've spoken more slowly so that everyone could get the meaning.

2.Before we gave an enough explanation of the word"because", we went to a next step (do practices and applications). So some of the students looked confused not knowing how the word is formed.
If we made a handout or something to make them practice, it might be easier to understand, maybe.

3. The class was a little one-sided. If we did a communicative activities that everyone can take part in, the class would be more enthusiastic.

Hello!!
Your teaching was very easy to understand for students.
I think that your example sentence was useful to understand the grammar. If you repeat the example sentence more, students can understand it more easily, I think.
But, your explanation of grammar was very good. It was very simple, so students could understand the grammar easily.
Thank you for your teaching!!

Hi,this is rozen.My rolle while your class was 'The person who join whatever teacher ask me to do,'
I think dialog was very good way to indicate the point of the lesson.Perhaps,if you did like you wrote in this blog,it would be more understandable.
But the picture was very helpful to understanding.So,picture is one of the good way to understand.
Thank you for your class.

Hi, this is Pizza.
As you wrote, I think your dialogue was a little first and difficult to understand for junior high school students. If you use pictures or gestures speaking more slowly, it will be more comprehensible. But the content of the dialogue was practical, so it will help student with communication. And you repeated"because" in the dialogue, so I could understand the key point. Thank you for your teaching!

Hi Jaguar, this is Naojin.
I could understand what you wanted to teach us through your dialogue. As you said, We needed more communicative ctivities and practices to make us interested in English. You repeated the part of dialogue which is important grammar (because~, Why~). It helped us understand the meaning of that grammar.
Thank you and Good job!

Hi!Jager☆This is Kanage.
Thank you for your micro teaching.
I think that your explanation and examples was easy to understand for students.It was so good for students to understand.
If you had wrote the sentences big on the blackboad, students could
understand the topic more clearly.
Your teaching was so useful for me.
Thanks♪

Your lesson's strong point is comolihensibility of target and conversation. Some example were based on the daily life. It helps students' understanding.

Hi,Jaguar!
Yore leeson is very easy to understand. Especialy, blackboard cards are very helpful for me. your pronunciation is so cleary to hear.
I like your using dialog method. It's nice way to teach grammer. But I think we will do better to show it to students.
Thank you for your lesson, and we study how to teach English mre!

Hey,Jaguar.Thank you for your teaching.
Your teach was good! But I think if you care about below, your class is more practical.
when you start short conversation, you point out ss 1.what you talk about and 2.what point ss should attend to.

I impressed that you tried to smile and be cheerful for students! There were many effective devices in your teaching, but you also found many difficulties and challenges of teaching. I think the consciousness will lead improvement of teaching. Thank you for your teaching and see you tomorrow!

Using some pictures helped students to unedrstand situation and guess the meaning of BECAUSE.They were interesting and effective.When you show the conversation,you use some cards and gesture,and student can understand more easily.Also,I think you indecate more clealy,and your teaching is more effevtive!
Thanks♪

Hi Jaguar. This is otokojyuku.
I think your teaching is easy. Because you use English conversation and some pictures. Students can imagine the situation.
But first conversation is difficult. If you speak more slowly, students can understand the situation.
Thank you for your teaching!! I like a beard. You are dandy.

I'm sorry I'm late for writing comments. Your micro teching was nice! I could enjoy your teaaching. But there is the weakness. I write it the below.
You gave simple conversation with partner to students in the first of class. Surely it was simple. But it was a little long and we had only one time to listen the conversation. So I could'nt listen some conversation. I think it's better to use pictures.
Enyway I enjoyed your teaching! Especially I was interesting to think why she feels happy by watching the picture. I want to try to use this activity. Thank You!!
