Reflection In Teaching English

765 Words4 Pages

Based on my personal experience teaching English to junior high school students in Gorontalo during teaching practice program as well as became a volunteer English tutor for coastal children in national community services 2017 (henceforth called KKN Kebangsaan), I have been witnessing that utilizing various teaching methods or strategies, teaching tools, as well as coordinating a game will badly have a major aftermath to the way we deliver a lesson during teaching process in the classroom. I, during taught English in teaching practice program, always introduced something new towards my students as it was echoed by my some beloved students. I even come up with recreating a lesson plan in a very simple format merely for my students, (just frank …show more content…

Figuring it out, I always attempt to deliver a lesson in charming ways in order to catch my students’ attention to participate actively during class; make it fascinating as possible as I can, such as delivering a lesson trough drawing pictures, imitating native speaker when reading and listening process, and offering some English teachings method and strategies like army method, PPP, TPS, discovery learning and so forth. Yet what I have done so far, however, seemed “somewhat good”. It can be gauged so clearly by 60 percent of the students do not take part actively during class. So far I realize that the way I taught English almost certainly remain the same. I might introduce several teaching methods or strategies, meanwhile, the tasks given never even changed a bit yet (filling the blank, rearranged a sentence, and multiple choice). I kept having a flashback of my male students where they had asked me to give a game for the ice-breaker and at the moment I was deadly confused how to conduct a game for I myself didn’t even know how to start with. Therefore, …show more content…

Further, through those skills (just hopefully if I will be selected as the participant in this program), I am bound to make the most of it, humble sharing those knowledge to my beloved university, in particular, my department, by means of conducting a workshop of an English teaching (just as our senior named brother Indra Mokodongan who has recently taken a part in this program). Besides with set of knowledge that I will acquire from this program (once if I will be the selected participant), I would also like to share it to my community (GECC) which I involved in.

  • Reflective Practice Essay

    874 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Latin root of the word ‘Reflection’ refers to the ‘moving back’ or getting or bending back” to something. This bending back is of significant importance in any profession, any task and any practice as suggested by Horwood (1989). Put in very simple words, every time we do something and later stop to think or ponder over what we did, how we did and why we did, consequently also thinking on what were the effects of such doing and if or how it could have been done better, then we are actually engaging ourselves in the process of reflection. Making this a part of our profession so as to bring constant improvement in the quality of our own performance is what we can say is bringing reflection to our practice; hence the term ‘Reflective Practice’ is used.
