Coursework 3 Part II : Teaching and Reflection Reflection After I carried out the lesson plan for my students, I noticed that I have balanced of strengths and weaknesses in my activity. The two main strengths that I have are I could manage my class very well and the objectives were achieved. My class management was very good. This is because I have the advantage to teach in the rural school which my Year 3 students are only 2 in a class. First of all, the lesson was fun in its nature. The pupils enjoyed the lesson and participated actively in the process of learning. Second, I found that the pupils like to sing very much even after school they kept singing and humming the song. During my set induction, my students were very energetic and they did give me the full attention. They could recall the types of occupation they had learn from the previous lesson. In the end of my set induction, I was satisfied with my students positive feedback. This is an advantage for me because they pay more attention to me and allow them to relate information from the previous lesson. For the presentation stage, it was quite okay. The weakness in this stage is I did not manage to play the audio loud enough and present the Power Point slides as the speaker and projector in my school cannot be used. Luckily my students are only 2 of them, so I just showed them using my laptop. Nevertheless, my pupils enjoyed themselves singing the song and could relate the song with the questions asked by me.

21

During my practice stage, what I did was to get my students to perform individually. Stated in the lesson plan was in a group of four students but

because of my year 3 students are only two of them, so I decided to make them to perform individually. I could see my students gain confidence by singing in front of the class. My students enjoyed themselves even though it was a little boring for them to perform alone because there was not many students in the class compare to the urban schools. In my production stage, I distributed worksheets for my students. They could do the three level worksheets brilliantly because they were easy for my students. The things that I would change in the lesson kit are to add more challenging activities such as to use many new vocabularies words related to the topic. For my closure, what I did was to let my pupils to talk about their ambition. What would they like to be when they grow up. I also gave them homework which acquires them to find pictures related to their favourite job. The time

management was quite okay because I exceeded 5 minutes compared to the duration of time which was only 30 minutes. presentation stage instead of 5 minutes. On the other hand, from this course, I learn new thing which I never thinking that I would be learning which is to create a teaching kit. For my opinion, teaching vocabulary in my class is very interesting and fun. This is because I usually use word cards and picture cards to help my slow learners but in this case I also interpreted song as a tool for my students to learn better. The word It took 10 minutes in the

22

drills can be bore compared to song. I manage to manipulated the song in order to teach them meaning of the words because I think it is better for them to know the meaning rather than drilling like a parrot without knowing anything. Overall, I am satisfied with my lessons even though I can improve it. I achieved my objective and I carried it out successfully.

Coursework 2 Songs and Poetry in the ESL Classroom (c) Discussion From the discussion with my colleague, we do agree that by using songs and poems in our lesson plans do give the positive impacts on our pupils. By examining the questionnaire, my colleague does strongly agree that song and poems should be an essential part of the English teaching curriculum for young learners. This is because; it is a fun way of learning English implicitly and gives the positive feedbacks and impacts. Besides that, we do know that by applying songs and poems in our lesson will highly motivating and entertaining way of teaching English and easy to understand. Songs and poems can accelerate the memorization of vocabulary. Songs and poems provide a large amount of repetition which results in automatic use of the target language. We agree that during our lesson in the class, by implementing songs as part of our lesson, our pupils can achieve the entire objective, also manage to answer all the questions given with less error. After the discussion, we strongly disagree that using songs or poems to teach English may distract pupils attention during the lesson. The only problem is not to have enough resources to use as songs and poems. Using songs and poems in our classes also can be time consuming. Overall, my colleague and I do use songs or poems to teach our pupils in school. Even though my colleague in average of using only 1 song or poem in a month, I did mine twice a month for my year 1 and year 3 classes. We always

24

make use of the textbook to the best by using the songs and poems to the fullest to teach them. Overall, in our school, SK Tegelam, both of us are the only English teachers here. We do implement songs in our teaching and learning process in our teaching and learning process averagely.
