The Last Reflection

So this is my last reflection on this class. First I want to say thanks to God because of His blessing I can pass this class with great friends of mine together. Thank you God! I want to say thanks too to my beloved lecturer Mr. Prast who is always great. Thank you sir! Then I want to say thanks to my lovely friends who support me so far. Thank you guys!

On the last chance I practiced teaching, I got nervous. I got nervous because I was afraid if my friends were not cooperative but they were. The problem was me that I did not master the materials well so I found difficulties to explain the materials. Therefore I mixed my language. But I know God is always fair, from those difficulties I became aware that it is not true an English Teacher should use English as the medium language. It depended on the students’ level. For low class students, the teacher can mix the language in order to make the students (all of the students) understand the materials. I found that the students would be easier to understand the materials if they are explained in two languages.

Then I want to tell that I have got many experiences of becoming a good teacher from Micro Teaching Class. I learned how to greet students on the first meeting in polite way. I learned how to make a good set induction, a goof main activity of the teaching-learning, and a good set closure. I found reinforcement was good for students’ advantages and could make them learned happily. I found a lot of my friends did some mistakes when practiced teaching and I could see they found the way they learned from their mistakes. I found that mental readiness was very important when it’s time to teach. I learned mastering the materials well was the one way of preparing the mental readiness. Besides I learned that respect others was important for a professional teacher. An old man said that you would be respected if you respected others. I think it is real.

All right, at the end I only can say it is great of having this class. I will never forget about this class and all of the experiences that I get from this class. Thanks a lot once more for Mr. Prast. Thanks for this study program. And thanks for this university.
