~ My Simulated Teaching~

After waiting for almost two weeks, I’ve finally done with my simulated teaching. I’ve already passed with the stage where I have to be a teacher for 15 minutes. Actually, I’m always feeling nervous when it comes to simulated teaching. Furthermore, being in the last few groups to present it gives me a lot of pressure. For my simulated teaching, I choose ‘The Ring’ for my presentation. I started my presentation by showing a picture of a stressed boy as my set induction. Then, I asked my students whether they could see the pictures or not. Thanks to my students for giving me the answer. After that, I asked them what are the factors that can lead to the stress and fortunately they gave me a lot of answers. Then, I explained to them the effect of being stressed. It can lead to the mental problems, same as one of the characters in the story ‘The Ring’.

For my pre-reading stage, I distributed handouts for the students. In my handout, there were 3 tasks to be completed by the students. First of all, I read the instruction clearly. For the first task, I asked my student ti read the dialogues between Leila and Raj. Then, they have to identify what are the problems faced by Raj based to the dialogues given.

My second task is I asked the students what is the characteristics of Raj that they can identify from all the problems that they have mentioned before. My last task is for post-reading stage. I asked the students to identify what is the theme for the story. I gave the task as their homework and they were needed to submit their homework in the next lesson. It was really a nice and good experience for me and yeah!! I’m so glad right now. Hahahaha….
