This week we are given tasks which require as knowing about the Micro teaching and also at the same time, tried to get a deep understanding on it. from what I read, this micro teaching is teaching techniques enable the teachers to review back on what she or he had teach to the student. In addition it will help the teacher to make their teaching and learning session will improve on the next time on their teaching session. Any than that, since it is been videotape, teacher is not only the person reviewing it but together with the master teacher and the students, so that there are constructive feedback carried out.
Below are some of the steps in order to make micro teaching or teaching methods.
i) Lesson planning - having clear cut objectives, and an appropriate planned sequence.
ii) Set induction - the process of gaining pupil attention at the beginning of the class.
iii) Presentation - explaining, narrating, giving appropriate illustrations and examples, planned repetition where necessary.
iv) Stimulus variation - avoidance of boredom amongst students by gestures, movements, focusing, silence, changing sensory channels etc.
v) Proper use of audio - visual aids.
vi) Reinforcement- Recognizing pupil difficulties, listening, encouraging pupil participation and response.
vii) Questioning - fluency in asking questions, passing questions and adapting questions.
viii) Silence and nonverbal cues (body language)
