I taught grade 6 in normal class or a regular class, which meant that they did not use to speak English. It was such a challenging teaching activity for me haha
Let me start from Tuesday (because on Monday I only explained the material, not giving them activity), I started to teach grade 6/1. The material was about Command. It was easy but difficult to make them understand. Oh! I forgot to tell that grade 6 had about 40 students in a class. You can imagine how I was in teaching for 40 students. Then, I gave them worksheet containing some exercise about jumbled words. I divided them into some groups so that it can easier to control them. After they finished doing the exercise, I asked them to write on the white board. I gave some gifts from Indonesia for the groups who can answer all the question correctly.
The next class was 6/5. I gave the same material and activity for them, the difference was that I taught for two hours or two periods in grade 6/5. In the one hour left, I gave them some games so that they did not feel bored to learn.
On the next day, Wednesday 23 August, I did a different activity for the next classes. Those were 6/5 and 6/1. I asked 6/5 to draw the situation and they gave it the command, they did it even though it was not done in a day haha. Oh! last Wednesday should be my evaluation day by my supervisor from LPRU, but he came to school after I finished my teaching class. I was so disappointed with it. It seemed like I was nothing because he just changed our appointment before. He said he would come at 1, and then at 1 pm he suddenly said he would come at 1.30 pm. OK then!
Forget it, then let's move to the next day, Thursday and Friday.
On my last two days teaching, my mentor could not accompany me during my teaching activity because she had another event. Firstly I felt so worried because I thought that I would teach alone. However, teacher Nanny said to Teacher Pen (Assistant teacher of grade 6 MEP) to accompany me during her absence. Fyuh! On Thursday, I just continued my previous activity in 6/5, they submitted their work (picture). They had a very nice picture and then I gave them chocolate for the rewards. They felt so happy because of it, and of course, their happiness is also mine haha.
On Friday, teacher Pen could not accompany me in class 6/2. Oh my God! It was a very challenging moment to teach them. They were very noisy, even there were student teachers who helped me, they were still very noisy, it was the most difficult moment for me since I taught there. Firstly, the students do not understand my instruction, and also the student teachers, so it was very hard to communicate with them. Luckily, there was an MEP student who named Sandy, so I said to him to ask his friends for doing the task from teacher Nanny. Finally, my life has been safe!
That was the end of my teaching week during this third week in Lampang. So far, it was my excellent experience to teach EFL students in the real EFL country. I will never forget this experience till whenever it is!
