Teaching methods

The teacher did not write the method in the lesson plan, but it is clear and can be seen when the process of teaching and learning process start at the classroom, the methods that actually use by the teacher is cooperative learning, which the students work and learn together, there are many methods that used by the teacher. Because the steps of learning already exist in the book so the teacher and students get the benefit in the process of learning. The class can be interactive and fun if both of teacher and students follow the steps well.

• Learning Material and Innovation

The material and innovation of the school is better and easy to understand and learned by me, because it is based on the students level, even though there are some students were difficult and slow to get the material, but it depends on how the teacher transfer the knowledge for them. the things that I learned from this school is the students well-enjoyed the learning and teaching process. they did not learn in pressure or under-pressure, it can build their self-confident to learn and express what they learn. even though the learning material is not local content or authentic material, but when the teacher start the class, it is clear to be seen that, the teacher give and apply some material and example based on the local content, that's why the students are easy to learnt and understand the material. the learning innovation is rarely found by me actually, but I am sure that the school also help the students with the learning innovation.

• Sources of learning and technology

The source of learning that both of teacher and students use is taken from other sources, such as; internet , books provided and so on. the book that the students and teacher use is a kind of book that actually use in university level but the school already provided and used it for teach the students. The technology also supports teaching and learning process in the classroom which the use of visual, audio media that really helps students to understand the material better. below is the picture of the technology that used by the school.

• Authentic assessment

So, this is the authentic assessment of my lesson plan that I did based on the example that I got from the coordinator and the school. the assessment depends on what skill that should be measured for example, in here the skill that be measured by me is integrated skill, consists of speaking and listening skill.

Learning assessment must be based on two fundamental principles, i.e., evaluation for the purpose of developing the learners’ capacity and for appraising their achievements. With a view to succeeding in developing the learners’ learning quality, learners must be-strengthened and assessed by availing of the relevant indicators, so as to achieve the learning standards prescribed. Such evaluation also reflects the learners’ major capacities and their desirable characteristics, which are the main goals of measuring and evaluating the learning outcomes at all levels, i.e., classroom level, educational institution level, educational service area level, and national level. Learning assessment is a process of enhancing the learners’ quality by using assessment results as data and information to show learners’ developmental progress and accomplishment. The data will also be useful for strengthening the learners, thus enabling them to learn to their highest potentiality. As already mentioned, learning assessment can be divided into four levels, i.e., classroom level, educational institution level, educational service area level and national level, details of which are as follow. Classroom assessment which measurement and evaluation are part of the learning process. Teachers regularly and continuously measure and evaluate students’ performance in teaching-learning activities by using diverse assessment techniques, e.g., asking questions, observing, examining homework, assessing projects, tasks/assignments and portfolios, and using written tests, etc. Teachers will conduct evaluations themselves or provide learners with opportunities for self-evaluation, peer-to-peer evaluation, and evaluation by parents. Learners who do not succeed in meeting the standards prescribed in the indicators will need remedial measures for teaching and learning. Classroom assessment s aimed at verifying whether and to what extent learners have achieved development and progress in learning through the provided teaching-learning activities, and determining what must be improved and which areas must be strengthened. Furthermore, evaluation also provides teachers with necessary data for improving their own performance, which must be in accord with the established learning standards and indicators.
