1. EXPERIENCE
For me, practice teaching is a course that enables the student-teachers to
experience the actual teaching-learning process in the actual schoolenvironment. It is a training ground for students to be wherein I apply all my learnings since I studied at school. Practice teaching also gives opportunities to student-teachers to experience handling of students and knowing the individual differences of learners. It is wherein I analyze what strategy and methods to use for the students in the future.
I have experienced everything a professional teacher gets through in my Practice
Teaching, such as preparing lesson plans, reviewing all lessons, using some Bloom’s Taxonomy Action Verbs to make leson plan,historicial Approach overview, sharing many experiences form my instructor by teaching videos that she sent to me. Also, in my experience, I am fortunate to have enjoyed the support and tutelage of my Coordinating Teacher, Mrs. Nguyen Anh Quan. After having my Practice Teaching for almost three months, I learned more experience such as join the real class and have microteaching and in this reflection paper, I would like to discuss the lessons drawn from the class observation, making lesson plan, my peers’ and microteaching. Then, I would also mention a few suggestions for improvements to the courses at faculty of English linguistics and literature.
2.SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE COURSES
AT FACULTY OF ENGLISH LINGUISTICS AND LITERATURE During teaching practice activities, My group and I also had some troubles such as unclear schedule, so we don’t have much time to practice and do that perfectly.This intership is only organized for college and univeristy students. Therefore, If we have more chances to teach in secondary or high school, we will get more real experiences.When we worked together, however the time was short, I had deep understanding about my menbers in group. They are very friendly and helpful. 3. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the teaching practice has helped me to have more interesting experiences. It has given me a wonderful opportunity to learn from all the teachers and students who have participated in the internship. Through this reflection paper, I would like to send my sincere thanks and appreciation to the staff of the faculty, the lecturers of four classes that I observed and especially on special for my instructor Ms.Anh Quan. She helped and shared with us so many helpful things in teaching. I hope this teaching practice course will help me to be a good teacher in the future.
