Teaching Practice 

Procedures of Teaching 
In preparatory activity or introduction step I ask the student to see the picture and guess what the picture, I also prepared the fun games. In fun games activity I ask the students to arrange the puzzle. In main activity, I mention the name of the part of the tree and explain about the function, the sudents repeat after me and then I correct the pronunciation.  After that I played the song and video about tree and its color. For the application or evaluation I give the students the worksheet, they have to fill the blank box with the name of part of the tree.

Time Management and Organizing Activities
For the time management, because it’s a team teaching practice. Me and my team divided the time into three, 10 minutes for the preparatory and fun games activity, 15 minutes for main activity and 25 minutes for the evaluation.  We devided the students into 3 groups with seven to eight students in each groups and one teacher so we can observe and organize easily.

Problem-Solving
The weakness when I taught is about communication and managing the classroom. I used so many gestures and simple word to make the students understand. The teacher also give some tips that we have prepare so many videos, if the students are already finished do their worksheet teacher can play the video so the students will focusing and not disturbing the other friends.

Classroom Management 
When I am teaching, I walk around the class to see the students if they have a question and to make sure that all students understand about the vocabularies. I also ask students one by one about the question to see them whether they can answer it completely or not. I also only focusing on one group so I can answer and explain more to them if there’s something they don’t understand.
