For my demonstration teaching I had to study and teach 2 lessons. The subject that is given to me is PLBJ. PLBJ is a subject about Jakarta Culture and Environment where english language is used as medium of instruction. Pak Alex assigned me to teach in grade 4. I had to teach classes 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D. For monday I will only teach class 4B while every tuesday I need to teach the other classes.
For my first lesson I will teach Present Continouos Verb with integration in singing the Jali-Jali song and different Indonesia’s culture and practices. I used two language for my medium of instruction which is English and Indonesian Language so students can better understand the lesson. I used dictionary and google translator in translating all the lessons. I read and practice every night to prepare myself speaking and reading indonesian language. I study about the do’s and don’ts in managing a classroom so everything will be alright. For my first teaching demonstration my students understand the lesson well while having fun at the same time. I used some games and songs from my country to catch the attention of my students and also as an example for my lesson. I ask Pak to bring a speaker too because I bring my laptop and I also download the Jali-Jali song. I teach and play the song to them. After we learn to sing the song I ask everyone to sing with me together with Pak Alex. Pak Alex told me that for first demo teaching I did great and it was good that I used different methods in teaching students.
For my second lesson I teach Instruction and daily activities which is integrated with the Ondel-Ondel. For this lesson I had to teach how to follow instructions in daily activities. For this lesson I also used 2 language as medium of instruction, since I already used indonesian language for my first demonstration it is now easier for me to talk to them in their language. Everyone is so excited for this lesson because aside from learning how to follow instructions in english language I also ask them to bring art materials and we will make an ondel-ondel one of the most famous thing in indonesia. In indonesia you can see some Ondel-Ondel around the street. Ondel-Ondel used to walk around the street in pair, a boy and a girl. The girl has the lighter face color and dress while the boy is the darker one. While making an ondel-ondel students was able to follow instruction on how to make an ondel-ondel so I was able to integrate the lesson I teach to them which is following instructions in english language. The students, I and Pak Alex enjoyed the second lesson so much. WE was able to make an ondel-ondel with fun and we also take pictures of the ondel-ondels we made.
For my over-all performance performance on both of my demo teaching Pak Alex that I did a great job. I was able to teach the lesson to students with a variety of methods and also with fun and enjoyment too. He told me that I did a job well done and to continue my good performance until I go back to the Philippines. Aside from giving the comments and suggestions for me, Pak also told me good things not just in teaching but also personally and I am so grateful for that. Pak is not just my cooperating teacher, Pak also became my father in MI PKP. He told me a lot of things and told me to always be happy. He also told me one important to me to eat a lot so I can have a bigger body physique and a healthy body too.
