MY REFLECTION ON MICROTEACHING

WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS TO RECEIVING AND GIVING FEEDBACKS?

       It was awesome to know not only what I did well but also what I did bad because that’s the way I will learn how to improve my skills. It is very important to listen to people when they give you a piece of advice because they do it with the best intentions; as a result, you can check and improve your weaknesses. 

        When you give feedback, you realize that you can learn from others because they also have weaknesses and strengths; as a result, when you are seeing them, you think and say: ‘’umm.. I also made those mistakes’’ or ‘’I also need to improve those aspects’’. Finally, I took many things that my colleagues did and I tried to grab their reviews in order to overcome my strengths.

WHAT THEMES EMERGED IN THE FEEDBACK ABOUT YOUR TEACHING? ANYTHING SURPRISING? WHAT WERE YOUR STRENGTHS? HOW CAN YOU BUILD UPON THEM?

             I am aware that I have to improve my pronunciation and that is something a colleague said. It was not a surprise for me; the matter is when I feel nervous I forget to care about my pronunciation. Then, I start talking and talking and forget many things. I am aware the posters had not so much color too.

          I started motivated because I like when students feel motivated too and I also like to move and ask students about the topic. I know that I need to improve many skills and feel more confident when I am teaching because students feel the energy of the teacher and if they feel that I am not motivated I might lose their attention.
