REFLECTION ON GROUP 6S MICRO TEACHING

In a class of 25 students at basic level of English, a reading lesson was instructed in


about 20 minutes by a teacher with help of one assistant. Generally, the lesson was done
rather well despite of some limitations that need improving.
As what can be seen, the micro-teaching had some strong points that we really
appreciate. In term of content, the steps of a skill lesson can be shown very clearly: prereading, while-reading and post-reading and the topic chosen online relationship is really
authentic and interesting. In addition, the content and the task organization show that it was
prepared very well by the teacher and his/her group members. In term of teaching skill, the
teacher did show the confidence of a typical teacher in class observation and management
as well as the professionalism in motivating the learners.
However, there are certain weaknesses which require improvements. Firstly, in the
aspect of teachers pedagogical skills, the teacher should not point at the leaners and the
fact that teacher gave lot of extra marks and gifts all the time to motivate leaners is not
always good and should be carefully considered. In addition, teachers using doubled sided
tape sticker may be hard to be cleaned later on and may cause damage to the board and this
should be avoided. Secondly, in term of class management, in the exercise fill in the
blank, the way of dividing class in two groups is not good. The size of group at the current
time would be too big with lots of students while each group just had 5 stickers. This means
that some would work and the other did not join in the activity. Thirdly, the lead-in activity
took lot of time unnecessarily and this caused insufficient time for the later task. Besides,
in the reading comprehension activity, the teachers instruction was not clear and specific
enough and may confuse the learners.

Basing on the limitations above, there are some needed improvements. In fill in the
blank activity, the teacher should divide class into four groups instead of two and give
more stickers to involve all the learners into the task and no leaners are free. Besides,
Instead of using double sided tape stickers, some other suitable tools should be used to
minimize the damage to the school faculties. To maximize the effective of PowerPoint,
some more games should be exploited. In addition, the handouts should be delivered at
suitable time with clear instruction.
In short, although there were some small weaknesses during the procedure of
teaching mainly in term of class management and instruction-giving, the lesson can be
considered successful. However, appropriately using some suggestions above, the teacher
can better the effectiveness of teaching a lot.
