PROFESSIONAL STATEMENT PRACTICUM 2

The phase of practicum is the best time for me to practice my ability and credibility as
a teacher. After the first phase, I have gained lots of knowledge and experiences that are
beneficial for me as a future teacher. This is the time where I can practice and apply all that I
have learned from previous practicum. The second practicum starts on 26th July until 17th
September 2015.
This two month period is going to be a platform for me to practice the quality of a
teacher. I have been assigned to the same school as before, which is Sekolah Kebangsaan
Temenggong Abdul Rahman 1. Thus, I have plan a few things that I hope to achieve by the
end of the practicum using my previous experiences. The first thing is to build a character of
a teacher. During my previous practicum, I do not manage to have the full characteristics of a
teacher. I still lack of the enthusiasm to teach my pupils. I was like coming into the class,
open the textbook and gave exercises that were sometimes not relevant for the pupils,
except for during observation. Therefore, this time around, I am determined to give out all the
best of me to teach them. I am going to apply what I have learnt from my lecturers during
lecture hours on my pupils. I also hope that I can put more effort to prepare interesting and
fun way for my pupils to learn English. As it is an alien language to the young learner, a
friendly and conducive learning environment should be in my classroom.
The next one is related to my involvement with school programs and community.
Previously, I rarely mingle around with the teachers in that school and chat with them as I
myself have lots of tasks and works to be done. Plus, I also did not actively involve with
school programs. The school did not give tasks or programs for my partner and I to handle.
There was like a barrier between us and the school community, most probably because I did
not mingle with them much. Therefore, I am determined to be friendlier after this, get to know
all the teachers and hangout with them. I learned that I cannot survived doing stuff alone
without helps from the teachers.
