1. Teaching methods

Teaching methods used by the teacher depending on the teacher themselves what methods that want to use. In English learning, the teacher uses a simple method in every meeting. Commonly, the teacher used expository, cooperative learning, and interactive learning. I love the way how he taught in the classroom. He delivers an English topic in a fun way and gets attention to all of the students. He used hang-man game as a way to make students to not to be boring in the way of learn.

English subject has only one period per meeting. At the beginning of the lesson, the teacher will give motivation to students by doing a asking the students about previous learning. After the motivation, he will ask the students to do a worksheet and read aloud in the classroom. Then give the students score for task that have been done. When I did the observation, we are just focused on the way of listening and speaking. His voice is loud and clear. Sometimes, he added games and jokes to make students relax. We don’t need to use microphone.

2. Learning materials and innovation

Learning materials that mostly used PowerPoint, worksheet, and marker. In this classroom, we need only the interaction between the students and the teacher. We actually talked in front of the classroom to test their listening skill. Did they pay attention to us? If yes, they will get more score on it.

The teacher loves to give a plus point. Plus point will give to them that can answer the teacher’s question, be actively participated in class. The teacher also checked the students who did not bring a book during the learning process and mark the students to get zero point. He did it to give the students the way to responsible for every kinds of things in the classroom.

The teacher usually used Seesaw in the classroom. It is one of the platform that is used to meaningfully engage students in their learning Unlock creative thinking for all students in any subject Students explore a variety of powerful tools (like drawing, voice recording, taking videos, and more!) to show what they know in the way that works best for them Gain insights to meet your students where they are. Teacher Joe usually gives assignments (like Pre-mid) through Seesaw then the students will check and finish it. After that, Joe will ask in the classroom about the assignments.

3. Sources of learning and technology

The main sources of the learning process that teacher used are textbooks (MAXIMIZE 1, 2 and 3), and google. The teacher keeps using the book during the learning process and makes it fun. The teacher used a projector or may TV, digital board, speaker and microphone which are supported for learning. Those things can help to maximize the teaching and learning process.

4. Authentic assessment

In English subject, an authentic assessment that used by the teacher is based on the way the students participated to read in the classroom, worksheet score that worked by group or individual, score project, presentation, plus point, mid-term test, and end-term semester test. So, plus point is helping student much to enhance their score grade.

5. Overall impression of my teacher

He is one of the best teachers who worked with me. His name is Joe Howard. He comes from America. He is a kind man. He always gave me suggestion for everything that I have done. His style on teaching it is quite unique by interacting like a child in order to get the attention of students. He loves martial arts, same as me. He mastered Karate, I think it was a black belt. I was impressed when I met him for the first time. (Don't you see the difference in our skin? hehe..)
