Title : Clarity in giving instruction to the pupils

1. Problem

I have problem in controlling my speed when talking and giving instruction

to my pupils during teaching and learning session. My pupils look blurring and

confuse when I give them instruction because I think my voice is loud enough

and word choice is suitable for children.

2. Analysis

The problem occurs because of the nervousness especially when my

teaching is not tally with my lesson plan. I kind of forget of what I am actually

planning for that particular day.

3. Suggestion

I can practice my instruction in front of mirror before start the class. I think

I can also record my lesson to make comparison on speed of talking in the class.

Other than that, I will ask my friend to come and observe me in my lesson for

feedback of my lesson.

4. Duration

This problem happens on the second week of practicum and has been

commented twice by my mentor. It kind of solved but the thing still occurs

especially during observing session by lecturer.

5. Assessment of Success

I will collaborate with my friends and my mentor in order to look for the

best method in order to control my speed when talking to my students especially

during teaching session

6. Suggestion for improvement

a. Look for the technique to feel relax in communicating with student

b. Get the comment from teachers in the school.

Title : Problem in creating reinforcement activity

1. Problem

In this week, I am having problem in creating reinforcement activity for my

students. The worksheet that I give to them does not challenge them at all. They

said it is easy and they are able to complete the task in a short time.

2. Analysis

From my experience in my major subject which is Mathematics, I used to

divide the worksheet into two section but for this time I am trying not to do two

section for my worksheet as an instrument to indicate my research participants

but it is not work as I expected.

3. Suggestion

In the future I need to be more creative in creating my worksheet. I should

use the technique that I used in my Mathematics teaching. Dividing the section is

the best way which can help me to indicate my research participants. Other than

that, I think I can create two worksheets which are related to the topic but with

different type of task.

4. Duration

This problem can be solved from time to time to make sure I able to let my

student enjoy learning English and, I will consult my guidance teacher from time

to time to make sure it can help me improve my skill in creating worksheet for my

students.

5. Assessment of Success

I will collaborate with my friends and my mentor in order to look share idea

in creating my worksheet for my students.
