Observation on Teacher(s)

1 Planning for Teaching

Before teaching, teacher made a lesson plan for the topic that would be taught. Then, teacher prepared some various property related to the topic.

(Lesson plan see appendix 3)

2  Preparing Lessons and Materials

Teacher used book and workbook of students in class. Sometimes teacher also used several materials from internet. Usually, the materials from internet were not in book, so the teacher presented it as a new topic out of the book.

3  Teaching In Class

Teacher started the class by greeting students and asking students’ condition in English. All the students have to speak English all the time during the English class.

4  Measurement and Evaluation

Measurement came from an exam that held every 3 months after teaching learning. And for the evaluation, teacher gave students task from book or worksheet that she made before teaching. Teacher also gave student a group or individual project at the end of the lesson such as coloring.

Teaching Practice

1 Procedures of Teaching

I would teach in primary class 1/1 EIP. My topic is “Things in bag”. I had chance teach two times teach in class. First, I made a lesson plan related to the topic that I would teach. Then, I discussed with my mentor in the class. After she agreed, I taught the students based on my lesson plan. All of my procedures of teaching were on my lesson plan .

 2  Time Management and Organizing Activities

I had 60 minutes in class that I would be taught. Then, I divided into 5 sections such as warm up, presentation, practice, production and wrap-up (see appendix 4). After taught, I gave them task then asked them to answer it. I walked around to see them did the task. If they had confuse I told them how to answer it.

3  Problem-Solving

For the problem solving, I used various property such as pictures, the real objects and flash cards. I ask them to see the things in their bag. After that, I divided students into 2 groups. Then, I asked each of them to show and give question each things in bag and another group should answer it.

Summary and Suggestions

1  Purpose of Practicum

The aim of this practicum is to gain my skill in teaching.  Especially in managing class, understanding the student difficulties in obtaining the material, and knowing the difference students in Indonesia and Thailand especially for children.

Procedure of Practicum

 Preliminary

Preliminary such as greetings, preparing the students study, giving apperception related to the topics, giving motivations, dividing into groups, giving worksheet and instructional media. Core activities as follow:

1. Stimulation:

Students are introduced the topic by a song (the song about things in the bag) then continue to the core topic.

2. Problem Statements:

a. Do the students can identify the things in bag?

b. Do the students can ask the things in bag?

c. Do the student can ask about the amount of things in the bag?

Students understand the topics that had been taught. They can answer the question well. Students asked the thing they do not really understand.

3. Data Collection, Processing and Verification.

Students discussed with their group about the answer of the quiz. After they got the answer, the asked their tag number as I gave before doing the exercise. Then, I asked them to conclude the topic based on the answer of the questions. Each group had opportunity to answer the question and got point. Students had chance to ask thing that did not clear. At the end of exercise, the group who got many points gave a gift from the students. At the end of class, teacher concluded the topic and collected the students’ tasks. Teacher end the class with greeting.

4. Outcomes of Practicum

Outcomes of practicum are making students understood of the materials and encouraging students to speak in English.

Fortunately, there is no problem with the language in the class that I teach, because the students can understand English.

5. Suggestions for Future Improvement

I suggest to warn the student not to speak Thai in class during English class. Because I saw several students still use Thai language during English class.
