Lesson Plan Reflection

Our reflection

We find this assignment very fun and interesting. It provides us an idea and inspiration on how to teach English in a fun way. In fact, it is a stepping stone for us to pursue our dream as a teacher. Moreover, it exposes us in lesson plan guideline.

At first, we thought lesson plan is an easy and simple task to do; therefore we take it less serious and do it in a fun way. However, after consulting Dr. Rozina twice, we finally realized that lesson plan is a challenging task to do. She explained that we should not prepare a lesson plan that is out of context and not applicable in language learning. By consulting Dr. Rozina around 30 minutes, she enlightened us with the right track on doing a perfect lesson plan. We decided to change our previous lesson plan because it does not fulfil the right element and aspect in language learning. This is the most challenging part because we have to change every single idea and start looking for new things especially the right software within limited period of time. It gives us pressure since we have to deal with other assignments and several presentations within the same week. However with the support from Dr. Rozina, we have gained our spirit and courage.

Nonetheless, we keep supporting each other in completing the task. One of our group members who stays in different mahallah sacrifice by squatting at our place because we have to complete the task together. We divided the task among the three of us. One person is looking for the software, second person is sketching the outline on lesson plan and the other person completes the task by typing out the lesson plan and prepare for the presentation. In the making of the lesson plan, we have to imagine ourselves as the teacher who will teach the students according to the lesson plan. This enables us to understand more on the role of the teacher and what difficulties that the teacher have to face.

We also put ourselves in the shoe of the student from CELPAD. We explore their way of thinking and what they expect from the lesson. We try to understand their level of competency in English as well as their level of learning. After working for a few days, we finally completed the task. This experienced has thus created such a memorable and wonderful moment for the three of us since this is our final semester together.
