Reflection: Micro Teaching (inside)

Natnaree’s miro teaching

        She begun by asking the question about health problems and then she told her event past that her mom take care when she sick by using fruits or vegetables. After that, she gave worksheet to the students about name of Thai herb and health problem , turned on audio sounds for teaching vocabulary together. Next, students played game “smell and touch”, she divided students into two groups and came in front of the class to play game. She opened VDO about some situation (A man go to see the doctor) and she asked “What wrong with him?” Next step, she gave student to  match the pictures of herbs with the health problems that they can be used to treat. Lastly, she focused on auxiliary : should for suggestions about health problems and emphasized the vocabulary that met before.
         In my opinion, she used authentic materials such as Thai herbs, word cards, picture cards, all of these are very good. Her pronunciation is clear and loudly. There were many activities for the students to participate.

Nisakorn's micro teaching
        She taught about rude behaviors. First of all, teacher begin the lesson with lets students watching video that someone doing the bad behavior and then give an opportunity to students what are they thinking about it. After that, teacher teaches vocabulary that by using picture card and word card to students guessing the meaning.  Next, teacher gives worksheet to students to listen and read the conversation about rude behavior. Students answer comprehension questions to show understanding of the story. Next activity, teacher gives students to work in group.  Students brainstorm in group (3-4people) and discuss about how to suggest good behaviors by using should and shouldn't and let them present in front of the class. In the end of the lesson, teacher teaches grammar focus that students have met in the lesson.
         In conclusion, this lesson is very fun because there have a video for students. Students can learn vocabulary thought seeing authentic materials.

Peerapong’s micro teaching

After that, checked understanding of students about meaning. Next, he taught the conversation about how to asking and giving direction and then let student practice by dividing the students into two groups. He map’ specify  for let students design situation for practice conversation with their partner. Teacher assign task for the students by drawing map and create conversation with their pairs. Last, he taught grammar how to asking and giving direction sentences.
          I think that he speak loudly but some word does not clear. His personality is perfect, he walked around classroom and try to observe students in class. He used appropriate authentic materials such as word cards, picture cards, flash cards, map etc. but vocabulary game almost small size because everyone cannot see, he should improve this part.
--------------------------------------
Thidarat’micro teaching
        She started the lesson by greeting students and talked to the students about the content of this lesson then, she taught vocabulary about direction by let students played question ball game. For example, Why the direction is very important for you? and Did you have some knowledge about how to tell the direction? After that, She shown the VDO about direction to the student and asked the questions. Can you remember vocabulary about direction from this VDO?  Next, she gave sheet no.1, 2 and gave task no.1, 2 to the students and let them work in pairs. After students finished to do task 1 and 2, teacher and students were checked the answers together. Moreover, she told students to divide into group to study the map about Nakon Si Thammarat province and presented it in front of the class. In the end of the lesson, she taught grammar how to asking and giving direction sentences.
          Let’s talk about her Instructional Medias, she prepared power point, VDO about asking for direction, Map of Nakon Si Thammarat province, sheet no 1, 2 and Task no 1, 2, and 3.  She used appropriate authentic materials that is, Map of Nakon Si Thammarat province. It was very interesting. The skills that she wanted to focus for this lesson were listening and speaking.
          In conclusion, she should speak some words more clearly. She has to walk around classroom and try to observe students in class. Last, she should use the classroom language to checking the students understand before doing any tasks.
---------------------------------
Kanthida’s micro teaching
         She started the lesson by greeting and checking students’ attendance then, she taught vocabulary by let students listening audio and guess what the words that they heard. After that, checked understanding of students about meaning. Next, she taught the conversation about how to asking and giving direction and then let student practice by dividing the students into two groups. She map’ specify  for let students design situation for practice conversation with their partner. Teacher assign task for the students by drawing map and create conversation with their pairs. Last, she taught grammar how to asking and giving direction sentences.

          To conclude, she speak loudly but some word does not clear. Her personality is perfect, she walked around classroom and try to observe students in class. She use appropriate authentic materials such as word cards, picture cards, flash cards, map etc. but map almost small size because just shown in PowerPoint, she should give map for every students.
------------------------------------
Nattakarn's micro teaching

              She started the lesson by showing the video and then she taught the concerning vocabulary about house shore such as  , mop the floor , dusting , sweep the floor ,and wash the cloths, etc.  After that , student would be led into the lesson by playing game in team. Two team volunteer of five came in the front of the class and played guessing game. Both team members must stand in line and the first person picked the picture. Then , they tried to act to tell the next person what the picture is. Finally, the last person had to answer what the picture is, for example, if the first student picks the picture of mopping the floor , he has to act like  mopping  to tell what the picture is.  Next, students were supposed to do chain drill in small group of five by saying about house work. The pattern is " I have to......................'  . The students then had to practice conversation from the dialogue provided and answer the questions relating to the conversation. Next, teacher picked up the language focus and explained how to use it. Before finishing the class, teacher summarized the lesson again and said good bye.
         In my view, the overall teaching is quite good but something should be developed the handout and the exercise she provided should be decorated more pictures and color in order to capture students' interest.

 -------------------------------------
Daoratchada's micro teaching
        
         Daoratchada can create the fun activity and have authentic material to encourage students to learn effectively.  Moreover, the chant about how to sort rubbish, it is very interesting for students to remember what they have learnt.  The topic that teacher taught students can take it to use in their real life and support their public mind.
          In addition, teacher use task base learning that student can learn language from the task that they do. Students can try out their knowledge with learn the new at the same time. The aim, objectives and standard that teacher used are agreeably and teacher have the assessment that can check students’ knowledge outcome so it is very useful lesson plan. 

          In my view, the authentic materials are very good because they can call students' attention but the thing that she should improve is her classroom language . Teacher seems like less self - confident. If She can improve her language . I thing she will do better next time.
