Micro Teaching of Reading

Thank you for taking our Micro Teaching. Our teaching was based on Pre-reading and In- reading. I did ALT "Ittsu".

The objectives of my Pre-reading and In-reading activities
In Pre-reading activity, we got students to expect the content of the story from only the title before students read their textbook. It was very difficult but, some students answerd the question.
In In-reading activities, students tried some T/F questions. T/F questions did after reading the story. Before the questions, we read the text some times and confirmed the charactors. So students had good results.

The strengths and weaknesses of our mini-lesson
The strength of our mini-lesson was to read the story many times. First I read the story and next, students repeated after ALT sentence by sentence. But actually we intended to have students reading aloud after repeating. In the reading aloud, students was standing and when they finished reading, they sat down by turns. And more the first sitting students read aloud again after every students finished. Because some students may pretended to read text.If we did all plan, students read four times. And students were easy to understand the story. If I do the reading lesson in junior high school, I try to get students to read the text as many as possible.
The weakness was predicting the contents. This time, students were university students, but in real situation, students just started studying English! I think our question was too difficult for junior high students.

The Discovery about Teaching
I was helpd by my partner Jasmine in various scean and I felt difficulties to teach someone. Sometimes students respond to the teacher with strange answer. In that time, I don't know I should do. I felt like to understand how to deal with.

This Micro Teaching was a good experience for me. Thank you for reading.

A Big Event!!

Our club, I.U.C.C.(Iwate University Chorus Circle), has a big event on 17 May.It is a memorial concert of cherry tree planting at Minsk.

In this concert, we chorus Japanese and Russian famous songs as First stage, and Beethoven' s 9th Symphony as Second stage with students of national university of Belarus' . Some Russian songs we challange to sing in Russian.

I studied Russian when I was first year of university, so I taught its pronunciation. Russian letters (Kyrill) are different from English, so members put up a bad fight. But now, we can sing well.

We want to succeed our concert!(^o^)/
