4. The challenges of practicum
The challenges of this practicum was the first time I have taught English for Elementary students and in this school it's also don't have technology in the classroom because my major is in English Education for high school students. I was very excited and nervous about how to teach, how to control Elementary students, and make it easy to understand in my lesson because In Thailand, I study English with Thai language and always uses English and Thai language to teach my high school students.In this school I can’t speak, write and listen in Indonesia language. I hope my students will understand the lessons and get my point, so I always improve my teaching skill and I also try to speak Indonesian language to make my students understanding. Even if we have different accents, but good to learn together.
