PISMP BI (SK) 3For this third semester, TSL 3105 has introduced me a total new knowledge as I have never been exposed to lesson plans and microteaching before. Therefore, after I finished doing all the tasks required, I discovered that I have gained a lot of new knowledge and I also realised that there are few strengths and weakness.First and foremost, the most highlighted strength is I finally able to produce my own teaching kits that suit the lesson plan that I had genuinely planned. For the lesson plan, it was tough at first as I had zero knowledge about the real format of it and it was really confusing. However after I consulted my lecturer, Mr George and asked few friends; they gave me few tips to improve, I finally understood and it really helped me. Basically, building the kits has taught me about things I will have to consider when planning a lesson for pupils; according to their age, level and abilities. The linguistic aspect for every reading text prepared must be appropriately chosen, the vocabularies must be easily understood (for proficiency purpose) and grammar must be understandable especially for mixed-abilities classroom. If I simply planned it, fear the learning objectives cannot be achieved and lesson wont be as meaningful and purposeful as targeted.Also, I found it is very good to actually understand the pedagogical principles so that everything will be well-planned and perfectly-justified according to its own purpose and objectives. If a teacher produced teaching kits without knowing the purposes of each of them, it will be hard for that teacher to make sure his/her teaching process is effective. Every class, will have different abilities, different proficiency level and different interests, teacher must know how to make it balance among all students, how the focus of the learning can be achieved throughout the lesson. Thus, I learned that by carefully relating and linking the purposes of the kits with the pedagogical principles as I produce the kits is very important. Besides, to experience micro-teaching, the process of developing the kit also had taught me a lot about scarifying times and money, creativity, patience, hardworking and willingness.The song video is genuinely mine and the lyrics are originally my idea ) the lyrics were totally changed and adapted to suit the topic. However, I found it less appealing for the students because, I was supposed to actually insert in the voice to the video instead of making it karaoke version so that when it is presented to the students it wont bore them rather than to listen to the teacher singing live. So the next time, if I were to produce a new song video for the lesson I can consider this element to make the lesson more enjoyable and lively. In brief, I have gained a lot of new knowledge and also I found my own strengths and weakness while doing this assignment.
