TEACHING PLAN

This week marked a pivotal phase as we commenced our practice teaching, a significant milestone in our educational journey. I had the honor of instructing Grade 12 Bilingual 1 and 2 classes, along with a regular Grade 11-4 class. Notably, during our second week at UPI, our cooperating teacher, Ibu Indri, entrusted us with the task of crafting our own lesson plans based on the materials provided, specifically the Gold Experience B2 textbook published by Pearson.

Following this directive, I diligently formulated my lesson plan and submitted it to Ibu Indri for her evaluation of the content and appropriateness. After her review, she provided constructive feedback, indicating that the students could follow the lesson but suggested incorporating more examples to enhance clarity and understanding. This insightful guidance has proven instrumental in refining my approach and ensuring an effective teaching experience for the students.

I learned so much, just by talking with our cooperating teacher Ibu Indri. I learned that the Indonesian Lesson Plan has different parts and steps. First, we talk about core competencies. These are like big goals for the good values and morals students should learn. Think of them as the main things we want students to understand and adopt while they're learning. Then, we get into basic competencies, which are similar but more detailed. They focus on specific moral values that students should aim to achieve. It's like breaking down the big goals into smaller, specific steps to make sure students really understand and follow these good values, and since I am handling a Bilingual Class, I was informed that in teaching English, grammar should not be taught in isolation; it must be embedded in a context. The students must learn how to use it first before delving deeper into its usage. That's why for my evaluation, I created a lesson plan that suits to the needs of the students.
