REAL TEACHING 


Preparation Before Real Teaching 

After make a lesson plan, exchanged student uses it for the guidance of teaching. Every teacher should have a lesson plan, so their aim of teaching can be reached well. So do the exchanged student, based on their lesson plan they do their real teaching. At the first, exchanged student prepares all of the materials. In the real teaching, the exchanged student did not left by the mentor in class because the mentor have to asses the exchanged student because the real teaching is the assessment of the student exchange program.




The real teaching was done by Tactical Games Approach with reciprocal teaching style. Tactical Games Approach method can stimulate the students in a game like situation, with the advantages from reciprocal teaching style are include such things as the clarity of the task for everyone and the opportunity for feedback with each trial. This style makes the students assume responsibility for the learning of others, it should improve their communication skills, promote patience and tolerance, and develop analytical skills.


The real teaching is going on one class ( M 4/4 ) because in that day exchanged student practice, Monday 2nd September 2019, although the mentor has schedule in two classes which are M /4/3 and M 4/4, he just order to choose one class. In addition, after the mentor asses the exchanged student when doing real teaching, the mentor and exchanged student have to write the reflections in the lesson plan.

Teaching Observation Situation

In the first week of the program, the exchanged students have teaching observation in their mentor’s classes. Every student have a mentor  who can be a teacher and also a consultant for them about teaching in the school, so every exchange students was given a different mentor and different classes. In the teaching observation, exchanged student have to observe the classes whether before the mentor has come. Then, the exchanged student have to observe how the mentor teaches the students and how the the situation of teaching process.
In order to observe the class, the exchanged student just need to sit down in around the class. However, in rest of weeks the exchanged student have schedule for teaching assistant and one day for real teaching. Teaching assistant can be done by helping the mentor teaching in classes. In that chance, every exchanged student has different task which depends on the mentor. In my case, I was asked for giving the students about the good techniques, according to the topics discussed.

During those weeks, exchanged students also arrange the schedule of real teaching with the mentor and make the lesson plan also have consultation with mentor and the coordinator of student exchange program of the school
