Summary and Suggestion


Purposes of practicum


The purposes of practicum is to develop our teaching skills and pedagogy, improve English skill, gain a broader regional and world view and prepared being a good teacher in the future. I learn a lot from my mentor, coordinator, the students, my friends, my buddies, and Thai citizens. Now I know, how to teach English in a modern way and make students understand and pay attention to us, how to manage classroom and manage a time, and prepared me being a better to enter the real world after this internship program. I also have learned and appreciated the different religious and culture during the exchange.
Procedures of practicum


The duration of practicum is one month. I had a lot of new experiences and activities during this program. First week is orientation and observation. We observed the school and our mentor while he taught in the classroom then starting to construct a lesson plan based on Curriculum and school syllabus. Second week is teaching assistant. We helped the teacher (my mentor) and cooperating with students in the classroom. Third week is teaching practice and last week is evaluation and reflection. In our free day, our coordinator also took us for excursion.
Outcomes of practicum


This exchange project helped me to improve my English skill besides improve my teaching skill and pedagogy. I become matured and well prepared to facing a real world. I can solve unforeseen problem. No nervous and no trembling anymore. Right now, I become a totally confident person and here are things that I felt improved:
1.      My English skill has improved.
2.      Be more confident.
3.      Time management. After joining the program I become more discipline and respectful of time and always tried to come on time.
The challenges of practicum

A big challenge for me is teaching Science especially physics in English language which is not my mother language. Use English as our daily conversation, that’s help me to practice improve my English skill. Although there’s a basic grammar error and lose a vocabulary, I keep use English and sometimes slip out in to Bahasa Indonesia
Overall impression

I really enjoy this program. There’s a lot of new experience, knowledge, relations help me improve my teaching skill and English skill. Thai people is nice and greet us warmly, every time i met student’s they always said “Sawadee, Teacher Chan”

Suggestions for future improvement


For future improvement and suggestion, I think there’s should be a basic language course before going to teach in classroom. I just want to say thank you to SEAMEO who provided this exchange program, CRRU as my accepting university in this program, Chiang Rai Municipality school that give me a lot of new knowledge and experiences during this program, my home university, Tadulako University who gave me a special opportunity to me. And last but not least, to all of my friends that keep urge me and support me. One month is a short time! I really hope that I can stay longer only for this exchange.

Teaching Plan

Before we start to teach, as a student teacher, we should construct a lesson plan to make us well-organized and we know what we are going to do in the classroom. My teacher gave me a chance to teach second level which are 6 classes. The topic that I taught in M2 is about Phenomenon. The teacher gave me a specific topic for this level. It was little bit easy to construct a lesson plan. My teacher told me that i can construct the lesson plan by myself but still in a right direction not out of content. After read and understanding the Curriculum, I construct a lesson plan based on the curriculum and the textbook of Maximize 2.
