Week 11

 This week, I made another observation, this time about my superiors. Before the lesson began, my mentor and the supervisors had a meeting. I couldn't help but notice that not everything that was said about our attitude during the conference was entirely accurate. It was a helpful reminder that misconceptions do happen and that reality frequently deviates from our expectations. On the other hand, my observation went smoothly. At first, I was worried because the students were particularly agitated and disruptive. I worried that this would obstruct the observation. However, I was committed to managing the class effectively, and I'm glad to report that I was successful. I was pleased with my performance and my grades when I left the observation. I'd like to express my gratitude to my supervisor for her support and encouragement. As a student-teacher, their feedback and criticism have been extremely helpful, and I value their dedication to helping me improve as a teacher.  

This week is 'Solidarity with Palestine' week as well, and I was assigned to play a major role because we are hosting a book convention in conjunction with the popular magazine Ana Muslim. I was invited to take on the role of "Ana's" mascot. The photo demonstrates how unforgettable the experience of wearing the mascott was for me. Overall, the student had a great time thanks to this wonderful experience. Unexpectedly, a few students noticed that I was the mascot. That is all for week 11.

Week 3

 Week three is now underway. I just know that I will be teaching 2AM; I have not yet received a specific timetable or timeline for teaching in class. I was given a lot of substitute lessons to teach this week in place of absent teachers. According to what I've observed, the evening session school will experience a teacher shortage every day, requiring me to fill in for them for up to three hours each time.        I am aware of my mentor. I went over to her and asked her about the subjects she had taught and the class she was teaching. It might provide a more seamless lecture for my class. Since I was given a lot of relief classes, I took a lot of classes from year one to year three. Meeting with all teachers,for camping and other activities. There are many students at this school; on average, there are eight classes, each with more than thirty students. It might take me some time to remember them all since, to be honest, I can't remember all of their names.       All in all, th

 I was happy to learn at the beginning of the week that I had received my own schedule for my teaching duties. It was my responsibility to instruct classes 2AM and 1AM. . I took some time to get to know each student's name and background so that I could communicate with them individually.  After deciding on my students and setting up my timetable, I started working on lesson plans. Acknowledging that an organized approach was important for proficient instruction, I seek advice from my mentor. Their opinions and expertise were very helpful to me as I improved my strategy and tailored my classes to each student's unique needs. Apart from devising lesson plans, I focused on creating instructional resources that would enhance my students' engagement and participation in the learning process. To help students learn and retain the information better, I used interactive materials, visual aids, and props. My adventure was made even more exciting and challenging by the English and p

Week 14

 Finally, the last week of being a teacher. It was examination week, so not much happened the previous week! It has been an emotional and anxious week for both students and teachers, especially for Syahman and me as we are wrapping up our practicum at the same time. Every emotion—laughing, sad, and exhausted—was preserved as a memory. We are almost at the end of our time together, so we are enjoying our final moments with the students. In addition to gaining insight into the role of a teacher, we will express our gratitude to the students since they have been our greatest support system through to the very end of our tenure. I spent the last week observing a class that I instruct.  I informed them at the end of each paper that Wednesday would be my last day at the school. Along with the present, I received numerous letters from the student. During my final class on Wednesday, I advised all of my students to stay safe and to make a commitment to me to continue learning English because i
