Teachers’ Teaching Method

During observation, I found that the teaching method that the teacher used was almost similar to the teaching method that the Indonesian teacher used. I think it’s because teaching methodology has been learned universally by all teachers around the world.

I observed two classes at the time. For the first observation, I got primary school in the third grade. The teachers use the role-play teaching method to engage better with the students. Moreover, students can also participate actively during the learning process. I found that the teacher had a particular method of managing the classroom, hence the students could pay attention to the teacher carefully. for example, the teacher would clap her hands very loudly to get the students’ attention, and then she said something in Vietnamese that i couldn’t understand the meaning but it made all the students quiet.

For the second class of my observation, I got grade 8. I found that the students were full of passion to learn English. I think it’s because the teacher used cooperative teaching in which the teacher devided the students into small groups and gave some tasks to be accomplished. The teacher wasn’t only explain the topic in front of the class, but she successfully engaged with the students so that the students were able to have fun and finished their tasks.


Source of Learning and Technology

For the 3rd grade, I didn’t see any students' books because probably at the time, they only played games. Therefore, the teacher and the students didn’t use any learning material or technology. But it was different to grade 8. I found that the teacher used the Complete Key Book for teacher and students. The books are based on Cambridge English. Besides books, the teacher also used an LED TV so that all students could see the tasks and the audio of the tasks (It was listening questions). But to finish the tasks, the students had to discuss and write their answers on the whiteboard.

 


Authentic Assessment

The teacher used particular questions in the students' book for the assessment. I think it’s because the questions were related to the material and the topic that they discussed at the time. However, I found that the teacher also used some kind of student worksheet for the individual assessment.

 

Others

The learning environment, like a comfortable classroom, also supports the students' learning process because they are able to enjoy the situation and stay relaxed.

Summary of SEA-Teacher Project Batch 9

-
I am very happy and honoured to take part in SEA-Teacher project batch 9. I got so many experiences and beautiful stories. Also, I met a lot of great, kind, and heartwarming people who made me feel comfortable to join the project.  During this project, I had a teaching demonstration at Future School. I found that the practicum helped me a lot to find what I needed.  I was able to improve my teaching skills and my English skills also got better. The procedure of the practicum was organized well and easy to follow. I think it's because all of the efforts came from the lectures of Dong Thap University and Future School teachers. During the practicum, I got so much advice, learned new things, and also found my weaknesses. However, I found it difficult to communicate with local people and students due to the language barrier.  My suggestion for this program in the future is that SEA-Teacher project should collaborate with many ASEAN countries and not be limited to the Philippi...

Teaching Procedures I had the opportunity to teach 4 times. I teach in grades 7, 8, and 9. I find that the teaching procedures at Future School are more or less the same as teaching procedures at other schools. Before I teach in class, I am asked to make a lesson plan first because the lesson plan will be my reference when teaching later. In this article, I will explain the teaching procedures that I apply in class 7. Like teaching procedures in general, I start the class by greeting the students. After that, I did a little brainstorming, the aim of which was to make my students recall the material they had studied previously. They are quite good at remembering the material they have studied. I then give a little idea about what topic they will study. The way I give an overview of the topic is by showing a short video and they will start guessing about what they will learn in this class. After watching the video, I ask the students to do the assignments in the book that are appropriate...

Curriculum I don't know exactly what kind of curriculum the school uses but I guess it is some kind of international Curriculum due to their students' English books using Cambridge English. I think the curriculum is tremendously good because the materials that the teachers teach are quite challenging but provide interesting topics at the same time. Teaching Plan I made four teaching plans because i taught 3 different classes with 4 different topics. But i will only show two of my lesson plans. Here are my lesson plans: Student-Teacher’s name: Rene Dharma Wangsyah Date: 27/09/23   Class: 7F Subject: English Unit: - Lesson: Part 2. Test 3. Reading and Writing. Pages 48 and 49.
