Simulated Teaching
Since two weeks ago, our class has carried out the simulated teaching during tutorial. The activity is carried out as individual work in about five minutes. I found that it is very interesting because all of us come out with various creative ideas for set induction. For example, some of us use songs, games, pictures, short movie, sketch, story telling and others to start a lesson. The set induction must relate to the theme that you want to teach later. I like these activities because it is not only can enhance the relationship between the teacher and students but also get the attention of the students. By the simulated teaching, I had learned some teaching skills and questioning skills in order to lead the students to the theme of lesson. I prefer simulated teaching than micro teaching because our mistake is being corrected immediately. Then I will remember my mistake. Besides that, I also learn how to choose an appropriate text for the theme and not to give too many tasks at one time for Pre-reading. In conclusion, I had enjoyed myself in Simulated Teaching and we have a lot of fun while carried out the games. I hope I can learn more from this course.

I agree with you. Actually as a teacher, we really need to be creative; we need to think numerous of creative and artistic activities to create a center of attention to the students. We also must think of the percentages of relevancy that relate to the next activities we are going to teach.
Yeah. I do love stimulated teaching than mircoteaching. Stimulated teaching is a stage that you can know what your mistake is after you have present because Dr Edwin will straight away point out your limitation. We were using friends’ evaluation now. This makes us feel more thrilled when doing the teaching because we will be evaluated by our friends. Microteaching on the other hand, is a stage of scary and daunting stage. Camera is focusing on you and you may felt nervous. I hate that feeling.
I agree with Yin Chean that simulated teaching is interesting because all of us come out with various creative ideas for set induction. 69 people in our class will produce 69 different set inductions, some method might be the same, but with other people presentation, we can learn a lot. Like what Yin Chean mentioned, we can learn some teaching skills and questioning skills from others. We can also be aware of their mistake to remind ourselves not to repeat the same mistake. Besides that, I also prefer simulated teaching than micro teaching because our mistake is being corrected immediately. However, there are no immediate correction in the simulated teaching in this semester, I prefer what Dr. Edwin did last semester, although sometime the person that being corrected may feel embarrass, but I believe that we will remember that mistake forever once being corrected. It is better than not embarrassing but learns nothing.
