Create sample lesson plans (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing). 4 Teaching Listening and Speaking Apply appropriate techniques for teaching oral skills. Mini-teaching and peer feedback on listening/speaking activities. 5 Teaching Reading and Writing Apply strategies for teaching literacy skills. Demonstration and task design for reading/writing classes. 6 Teaching Grammar and Vocabulary Design engaging grammar/vocabulary lessons using communicative methods. Practice presenting grammar/vocabulary topics. 7 Classroom Management and Interaction Develop strategies for handling classroom dynamics. Simulation of classroom scenarios; reflection on teacher talk. 8 Teaching Aids and ICT Integration Use media and digital tools to enhance learning. Design interactive materials using PowerPoint, video, or online platforms. 9 Micro Teaching Practice Conduct short teaching sessions and apply feedback. Individual micro teaching (10–15 minutes each). 10 Reflection and Final Evaluation Evaluate teaching performance and learning outcomes. Self-assessment, peer review, and practicum report submission. IV. Methods and Media
-
Methods: Demonstration, simulation, discussion, reflection, peer feedback.
-
Media: Whiteboard, projector, teaching materials (flashcards, slides, videos), digital platforms (Google Classroom, Kahoot, Padlet).
-
Tools: Lesson plan template, evaluation rubrics, observation sheets.

Session 3: Lesson Planning
-
Objective: Students can design a lesson plan following the standard format (Objective, Procedure, Materials, Assessment).
-
Activity:
-
Analyze a sample lesson plan.
-
Design a new lesson plan for a chosen topic.
-
-
Outcome: A complete lesson plan ready for micro teaching.
Session 4: Teaching Listening and Speaking
-
Objective: Apply communicative techniques in teaching oral skills.
-
Activity:
-
Practice “Information Gap” and “Role Play” techniques.
-
Peer observation and feedback.
-
-
Example: Students practice teaching a short dialogue on Ordering Food at a Restaurant.
Session 6: Teaching Grammar and Vocabulary
-
Objective: Use inductive and deductive methods effectively.
-
Activity:
-
Design a grammar lesson using discovery learning.
-
Demonstrate vocabulary teaching with realia and visuals.
-
-
Example: Teaching Simple Past Tense through storytelling.
Session 7: Classroom Management Simulation
-
Objective: Manage student behavior and maintain interaction.
-
Activity:
-
Role-play classroom problems (e.g., noisy students, time pressure).
-
Discuss possible solutions and reflection.
-
Session 9: Micro Teaching
-
Objective: Conduct a real-time teaching simulation.
-
Procedure:
-
Each student teaches for 10–15 minutes.
-
Observers fill out peer evaluation forms.
-
Post-teaching reflection and lecturer feedback.
-
-
Focus: Teacher talk, classroom interaction, use of media, and timing.
