How it is in evaluating others in simulated teaching

There are some aspects that I will take into consideration in evaluating others in their simulated teaching.

First, I would consider about the set induction. It should be interesting and attractive to get the students attention on the lesson of the day. If the set induction is bored, the students will lose the interest and concentration from the beginning of the class. I notice that most of us enjoying watching some colorful images and video clip in the set induction, and I believes that our future students will like this kind of input also. Do not prepare some activity that even you yourself do not like it at all. Besides interesting and attractive, a set induction should also able to open the correct schemata of the students. Do not prepare something that is interesting but not related to the topic.

Second, I would consider about the activity prepared in pre and while reading stages. The extracts chosen should be at appropriate length. The exercise should not be too hard not too easy for the secondary students. Put in some pictures that related to what you teach may make the worksheets look more interesting to your students, it will somehow motivate them. The exercises that the teacher prepares should also relate to the previous activities so that the lesson will be considering as a smooth flow.

Third, I would consider about the teacher’s presentation. Their voice projection should be loud and clear and they should give simple and clear instruction to the students. Besides that, they should know how to handle the class, for example, if the students do not know how to answer the teacher’s question, teacher should give them some clues and guide them to the correct answer instead of giving out the answer to them directly. This is also a reminder to me; it is not because we do not take the class seriously, simply because we are still in the process of practice. Sometimes, we have well prepare for the presentation but our mind blank when some incident happen out of our consideration, so we will be nervous and just vomit out everything that we have prepare without consider whether our students understand about the lesson.

At last, I would consider about the teacher’s appearance, whether the teacher dress up appropriately is important so that you are able to set up the image of a teacher. The teacher appearance will give impression for the students; they will look more pleasant to the students if they dress up nicely.
