Micro-teaching Report
My microteaching experience was very beneficial to me, in the sense that it developed my confidence as well as focused on areas that need improvement. It was an interesting training opportunity to benefit from. Also, microteaching was a fun experience that we as trainee teachers to teach our peers a micro lesson, which ranged from 5 to 10 minutes. After every mini lesson, we received a review about it from our tutor who observes our performance in addition to feedback from our classmates.

I think the experience of observing most of them was valuable for I had the chance to be exposed to different teaching styles and strategies, as well as to brainstorm my own strategies. The first micro-teaching assignment was to plan a lesson to teach lexis in context. One of my objectives for this assignment was to devise and use a visual aid efficiently to teach three vocabularies. I think that the use of pictures was very helpful to teach vocabulary; it helps to activate students’ schemata by asking ‘wh’ questions about the pictures. Another goal that I had for this micro lesson was to use my body language and to try to make eye contact with students. I think that I delivered this lesson successfully in regard to these goals. But the lesson time management was uncontrolled. Most of the feedback and comments I received from my tutor and my classmates were about my voice projection. As the comments were constructive I feel I was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses. And now I can improve my weaknesses to make them work in my …show more content…
It was something I did not plan for. For instance in the listening micro lesson, some of them asked questions or asked me to rewind the audio file while they were supposed to be listening to it and do not disturb their colleagues. I have learned that I have to put some rules from the beginning of the session. For instance, I should tell students to write down their questions and wait till the end of the audio file. Besides, these like-real situations helped me to be more comfortable standing up in front of

    However, Jargowsky does admit that “co-location serves to cement the identification of new immigrants as racially different from the majority, and ‘exposes second-generation children to the adversarial subculture developed by marginalized native youths.’” While Mexican culture is not to blame for the poor conditions which plague the city centers of Los Angeles, it does in a sense perpetuate the attitudes which contribute to the concentration of those poor conditions within ethnic enclaves. Once first-generation Latino immigrants realize the atmosphere of discrimination towards Latinos present in the white United States, their initial optimism for a successful future deteriorates into cynicism which passes on through successive generations.…

This semester has changed the way I think about education going into the future. Classroom layouts have changed, as well as the way teachers, students, and parents interact with each other. The behavior of students in 2016 is also different than it has been in the previous years. There are many more diverse classrooms with students who have different learning capabilities, and cultures.…

    Children need structured opportunities to stop from speaking in order to keep their attention on listening. This is important in my classroom because if students are talking constantly they will not hear the teacher and their peers.

Students will have to listen very carefully to what is being taught because when they hear their word being spoken they will have to raise their hand. Students have no choice but to remain quiet and listen to what is being…
