1. Introduction
Last mont, students of the English education carried out school internship program 1 & 2. The program started on March 6 – April 28, 2023. My friends and I did our internship at Bina Kusuma Vocational School. I feel that the program that have taken place have provided tremendous benefit. I learned so many things during this school internship program. In my reflection about this program, I focus in the four aspect that is important, the four aspects including:
a. Teaching material
b. Teaching media
c. Classroom management and
d. Teaching strategy
2. Preparation
a. Teaching material
Sure, here are some tips of preparation I use in teaching materials:
· I review the learning objectives for the lesson, ensuring that my materials are aligned with the lesson's goals and that I cover all the required content.
· I gather and organize my materials, which involves locating or creating handouts, worksheets, or other necessary resources for the lesson.
· I plan my activities, considering how I will introduce the material, engage students in learning, and assess their comprehension.
· I practice my delivery by rehearsing the lesson in front of a mirror or with a friend, aiming for clarity and conciseness in my presentation.
b. Teaching media
Based on the materials that I have taught since I completed School Internship Program 1 & 2, it is about narrative and recount text. Here are some media I use to teach, including narrative and recount text:
· Audiolingual. Audiolingual teaching emphasizes the use of audio recordings. It is grounded in listening and speaking, rather than reading and writing.
· Textbooks. Textbooks are a widely used instructional resource for teaching narrative and recount text. They typically offer students a range of learning materials, including grammar exercises, vocabulary lists, and reading passages.
· Videos. Videos are an engaging and captivating medium that can be used to teach narrative and recount text. They can serve as illustrative examples of diverse narrative and recount text types.
c. Classroom management
As a teacher, to prepared in managed the students I use some tips like:
· Clear set of rules
· Variety of teaching methods
· Good communication
d. Teaching strategy
To prepare about the teaching stategy including narrative and recount text, I used some strategies like:
· Review the different elements of narrative and recount text, such as the language features used.
· Make group discussion.
3. What went well
Based on my feelings and experiences during school internship program at SMK Binakusuma, the four important points that I have previously mentioned did not work effectively. This is due to various reasons.
4. Challenges faced
In teaching media and teaching materials, all learning materials are sourced from one book, although there are additional resources, they are limited, which is why we predominantly use one book and students find it difficult to understand. After tahat, in classroom management students are hard to control. And in the teaching strategies I used are not easily accepted by students.
5. Lessons learned
To address the challenges regarding teaching media, teaching materials, classroom management, and teaching strategies, here are some tips I use to help improve the situation:
· Teaching material
Incorporate supplementary materials such as articles, online resources, videos, or interactive activities that can enhance students' understanding. This variety can make learning more engaging and cater to different learning styles.
· Teaching media
Break down complex concepts into smaller, more manageable parts. Use real-life examples, hands-on activities to make the material more relatable and accessible.
· Classroom management
Establish clear rules within the classroom to improve classroom management. Create a supportive and inclusive atmosphere where students feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and concerns. Implement strategies such as positive reinforcement, individualized attention, and effective communication to maintain discipline and control.
· Teaching strategy
Evaluate and adapt the teaching strategies to better suit the needs and preferences of the students. To evaluate, Regularly seek feedback from your students to understand their challenges and preferences. This feedback used to make necessary adjustments to your teaching approach and to address specific student needs.
6. What would you do differently
If I was to teach the same lesson again I used different ways to teach the material. It is include changes approach with students, refine my teaching strategies, adjustments the teaching plan and create a more effective learning environment for my students.
7. Conclusion
Based on my reflection during school intership program 1 & 2 in Bina Kusuma Vocatinal Scool, I found the four powert point that I used as teacher, it is including: teaching material, teaching media, classroom management and teaching strategy. Based on the powert point that show, I found there are problems during I am as a teacher in the class, including: the sourced from one book, students difficult to understand, students are hard to control and they are not easily accepted the strategies. To solve the problem I use: Incorporate supplementary materials,break down complex concepts into smaller, establish clear rules, evaluate and adapt the teaching and regularly seek feedback from the students.
