Simulated Teaching- Presentation Stage

Today, we started our simulated teaching for the presentation stage. There are 9 groups who presented today. The first group is Harveen and Amardev. As I had expected, Dr. Edwin made a lot of comments on the first group. This is not something new, it happens to every first group that presenting their lesson. Harveen and Amri took well the comments. I can see that they’re trying very hard to make spontaneous change to the instruction they gave to students when Dr. Edwin asked them to do so. Looking at them, I become more nervous and scared. I really hope my partner, Ly Wen and I can do well when it’s our turn to present. For today’s session, I like the presentation that was presented by Diana and Alicia’s group and Hui Ling and Alex’s group. I notice that Dr.Edwin hardly comment when they were presenting. But he did made some comments on both group’s worksheets. For Diana and Alicia’s group, I remember he comments on the table and for Hui Ling and Alex’s group, Dr.Edwin said that their exercise is too simple for advanced level student. However their pre-reading text is good and that they should use transparency to help them in their presentation. Most of the groups who presented today are doing on Antigone and King Lear. Only one group chose Pygmalion that is Wanirah and Wan Haninah’s group. Dr.Edwin said that if we chose to do on Pygmalion, we have to be careful with they way we pronounce the words and speaking the dialogues. There are many comments made by Dr.Edwin today that I can use for guidelines for our presentation in the next class. Among them are, teacher should speak and not read the language, teacher must explain more to students on the current exercises before moving on to the next exercise. He also advices us to make full use of technology in our presentation. I hope with all the new information, we can do well in our later.
