Me..being a teacher again..& again
We have to do simulated teaching again. Yeah, indeed we are going to be a teacher.. This time, I decided to do it in pair, and I have chosen to do it with Khalifa. We were working on the text Oedipes Rex, and Khalifa did the induction and pre-reading, while I did the while reading. Even though we might not have same ideas, but we managed to make our lesson perfectly. I mean..not so perfect, but Miss Baiti did not complain anything. So..it means good right? But this time, it was a bit different because we need to evaluate others and it was not Miss Baiti alone, my friends also have to evaluate my teaching. It was such an exciting experience, being evaluated by others, as I can know my friends’ view towards my style of teaching. From the evaluation forms that they have returned to me, I did not find any negative comments or errors in my activities. Overall, it was a positive support from my peers. Miss Baiti did not give any comments and she went on with next presenters. Hopeful I have done the right thing and did not miss any important points to consider in simulated teaching.

Hye Sheila! It is not easy to be a teacher right? A good teacher I mean... I also have the same feeling when it comes to micro teaching week. Lots of things lingered in my mind and everything seemed not right as if I was waiting for a new born baby...hahaha...how bad! However, based on what have we gone through the process of micro teaching, it did help us to have a self- confidence besides learning new things; the Dos and Don’ts during teaching also the language of teachers. We have done it for several times including last semester’s simulated teaching with Dr.Edwin and I see that there is no big difference from this semester with Miss Baiti...only that our anxieties (I think you know what I mean hehehe...) are not there assessing our teaching... Being evaluated is something exciting but it is common for us if we do have the feeling of unacceptance of peoples’ critics. It is just take a long time for us to be open-minded and accept what people have to say about us. I am sure you agree with me that Miss Baiti does help a lot right...I love her! What we can hope is that may all the things; lessons, taboos in teaching, effective ways of teaching and others can be applied positively in our real life...
