#4. Observation on Teacher

1.      Planning for Teaching

In CRPAOS, I have to teach Primary because they have English Program. And the teacher of Primary is a native speaker of English. So I got Primary 2, that is Teacher Frank Ruse’s class. He comes from United States of America. He has been teach in CRPAO almost 2 years. He asked me to observe his class. Then i come with him. He introduced me to the students and gave me time with them to know more about each other.

2.      Preparing Lessons and Materials

Teacher Frank arranged his lesson plans and materials by himself, referring to the lesson plan that used by CRPAO. He always prepare the stuffs before teaching, and he brings that things into the class. When I observe his class, he brings cardboard boxes into the class, with the scissors and glues. So the kids have to make something that related to the lesson.

3.      Teaching in Class

When I observe Teacher Frank’s class, he taught about Present Simple. He used projector while teaching. He used the 4 steps learning in CRPAO. First, he greets the students and begin the lesson with Do Now activity. He asked students about their activities before going to school. Then, he continue with the second step, Purpose. He tells the students about the purpose of this lesson. So he explain about Present Simple and ask the students everything that used Present Simple.

“What time do you go to sleep?” he asked Team.

            “I go to bed at 8.” Team answered.

Then Teacher Frank asked another student.

“What time did he goes to sleep?” he asked Sheena, referring to Team.

            “He goes to sleep at 8.” Sheena answered.

And Teacher Frank repeated it over and over again until the students got the point about Present Simple.

The third step is Work Mode. He gave worksheets to the students and wait for them to finish it. He always walking around to make sure that the students do their worksheet. The last step is Reflective. So he recall the lesson that has been taught and make sure students can understand about Present Simple.

4.      Measurement and Evaluation

Teacher Frank using worksheets and quizes for evaluation. But sometimes he asked students to make a project related to the lesson.
