The 12 weeks of my practicum has come to an end. We began our last day with bacaan yasin, and received a certificate from the Puan Attasha. There was also a celebration for all the practicum teachers, as well as a farewell party from the students. It surely was a roller coaster ride but I really enjoyed the journey. I would like to thank all the teachers in SMK Seksyen 9 and also to Ms. Hashima for for guiding me throughout this journey!

Teacher's Day and Hari Raya Celebration at School!

(7.30 a.m. - 9.30 a.m.)
The Teacher's Day celebration started roughly at 7.45 a.m. at Dewan Sinar as the teacher's were getting ready for the performance such as singing and dancing. After the performance, there was a prize giving ceremony for the teachers. It was an amazing celebration as it was my first time celebrating Teacher's Day as a teacher (a practicum teacher, hehe).

(9.30 a.m. - 12.30 p.m.)
The Hari Raya celebration started off with an amazing performance by the students, and later with a special performance from the practicum teachers. I can say that we have done a great job as we have been practicing non-stop for a few days!

- The lesson focuses on spelling whereby the students were involved in a Spelling Bee Competition. Students were divided into 2 big groups. Each member of the group gets a chance to spell a word, making sure that everyone is involved in the game. At first, I read the words out loud and those who wanted to answer will raise their hands. However, I noticed that it was quite difficult for me to choose only one student to answer as there are many students. Therefore, I decided to change the rules where students who wanted to spell out the words will come forward and write the word on the whiteboard. As a result, it was more convenient for me and the students.

Overall, the students seemed to really enjoy the lesson and participated actively in class. One important thing that I learned is that if things don't go according to plan, don't panic! There will always be a better solution!

The topic of the lesson is "My Dream House" and the focus skill is speaking. Overall, I am not satisfied with my lesson and I can say that the lesson did not go according to plan.

I believe there are some crucial aspects that I overlooked and need to have thought through before incorporating them into the teaching and learning session. As a teacher, it is essential to do thorough planning and take into consideration the pros and cons of any activity, as well as the possibilities or issues that might occur during class.

Firstly, a teacher needs to have a backup plan in case things do not go as planned. For instance, I planned to use PowerPoint slides and a video, however, the projector did not function well. As a result, I had to use the whiteboard and carry out the lesson without the materials that I have prepared earlier. Besides that, it is also important to choose suitable listening audio according to students' proficiency. I realised that the audio that I have chosen was quite fast and challenging for the students to follow, especially without the subtitles.

introspectively, I realised how crucial it is to try out the activities that I planned to ensure that the lesson will run smoothly.

Besides that, students were able to apply the reading strategies which are skimming and scanning while completing Task C in the textbook. Lastly, students managed to come up with interesting products with eye-catching advertisements. Therefore, I believe that students had done a great job in completing the tasks for this activity.

The lesson focuses on writing a short story. The use of video during the pre-lesson managed to grab students attention and interest to learn. Students were able to summarize the story based on the short video “Cinderella.” Besides that, students managed to match  the order of how a story should be organised. In addition, students showed good teamwork during the while writing stage where they have written their drafts for their short story.

However, there are a few things that I believe could be improved for future lessons. Firstly, I should be more aware of the main skill and the complementary skill. For instance, this lesson should be focused more on writing rather than reading. This could be improved by spending more time on teaching the students how to write a story and by checking their understanding of the lesson.

Ms Deura's English Class Observation

The activity conducted during Ms. Deura's class was roleplaying. The students were assigned a task whereby they had to act out a scene based on the situation given. Students managed to play their roles well and showed great teamwork. After the students were done roleplaying, the teacher provided them constructive feedback. An interesting thing I noticed during her class was she taught the students a new vocab and asked them to give them a synonym. I believe that this is a good way to improve their vocabulary.

The topic of the lesson is Communication. Teacher Syed began the class by asking the students how they communicate. Then, he continued with giving expressions to means of communication. Throughout the lesson, he asked the students questions to get them engaged. An important thing I learned during the class observation was a teacher should not directly provide the students with an answer, but instead let them guess the answer. This will ensure that the students brainstorm ideas to improve their critical thinking skills. Besides that, it is important to walk around in class so the teacher can monitor students progress when doing class activities.

For the pre-speaking, a few students volunteered to share their answers with the class. However, students took a longer time to discuss the answers with their group members.

For today's lesson, the topic is Food, Food, Food! During the set induction, students were able to classify and list out the food according to their categories which are sweet and savory.

The lesson is focused on writing a personal webpage. The students were able to guess the text type by looking at the layout of the text and share their experience with social media websites and profiles. While reading the personal webpage, there were a few words they were unfamiliar with. Therefore, I have provided them with examples and the definition of each word. Besides that, students were able to draft their ideas by listing out points that they would like to include in their webpage.

One of the drawbacks of the lesson is the students were unable to complete the last task which is completing their personal webpage. A way to improve this is by asking students to focus on preparing their drafts and completing the final product in another lesson. This is to ensure students are able to generate more ideas appropriately and not only focusing on completing the task on time.

For today's class, the focus skill is speaking and the theme is Let's Chat! I began the lesson by showing pictures of families and asked a few questions related to the topic. I believe that it is a good way to introduce the students to the topic and to activate their prior knowledge. The activity for Task A allows the students to prepare themselves for the speaking activity. However, a few students faced some problems when speaking. A way to overcome this issue is by guiding them and motivating them to speak. I should also remind them that it is okay to make mistakes. However, it is important to identify the mistakes made by the students to see which area should be more focused on.

During the lesson, I have noticed a few things that could be seen as my strengths and weaknesses. One of my strengths is that I have prepared materials that could grab students attention and interest to learn, such as pictures. The use of pictures encourages students to share their ideas and thoughts with the class. Besides that, students were excited when asked to randomly choose a picture for their speaking activity.

The activities allowed the students to brainstorm ideas with their groupmates. I believe that groupwork is important as it helps to improve critical thinking skills, creativity and teamwork.

During the teaching and learning session, there were a few things that I believe could be improved. Firstly, it is in terms of the planning of the activities. I believe that the activities require a lot of time especially when completing the tasks. For instance, the students took a longer time to answer all the questions in Part A than what was expected. Therefore, the students were not able to complete all the questions on time in Part A, B, C, D and E. Besides that, I also think that before they start answering the questions, I should thoroughly explain the learning focus which is on abbreviations. Therefore, it might help the students to understand the lesson better.

The focus skill of the lesson is listening. I believe that this lesson had successfully met the objectives of the lesson. Students managed to answer all the questions correctly. One of the important aspects that I believe is very crucial when teaching listening is teaching students the listening strategies. I believe that it has helped the students in answering the questions. Having a short discussion has helped the students get a gist of the topic.

However, one of the drawbacks of the lesson is the audio was not clear. Therefore, instead of using a small portable speaker, I should use a bigger speaker which would be more suitable for a big class. This technical issue has made me more aware of the possible problems that may occur during class.
