PEER EVALUATION OF SIMULATED TEACHING

I am going to give comments on Tiang Siew Ching and Pauline Wong’s simulated teaching yesterday(19 October 2007). They taught us the play Antigone focusing on characters and traits.

PRE READING STAGE

In this stage, we have to highlight the sentences which contain modals such as will, shall and would in the extract. I think the have make a good choice of extract and the activity was appropriate except for the extract which was too long. As mentioned by Dr. Edwin since this was just the pre-reading, the extract should not exceed the next page.

WHILE READING STAGE

There was continuity from the first stage. We are asked to complete the table on Antigone’s character traits. I like the worksheets and they have produced good worksheets with clear instructions and guidance for students. The exercise was average because it was neither too easy nor too difficult. I believe that the students would be able to attempt the task successfully but ample time should be given.

TEACHER’S LANGUAGE

They were fluent and looked confidence in using the language. Their voices could be heard with just some minor grammatical mistakes.There are still room for improvement.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS

The teachers were well-prepared with answers being previewed on the screen using power point. The used of technology in class was good and creative in a way it can attract the students. Apart from that, I feel it is much easy for us to check our answers.
