Self Assessment on my Video mediated Micro Lesson
Topic : Comma
Level
of learners: Intermediate
Class
size : 06
My video mediated micro
lesson has helped me to measure my strengths and weaknesses in a great extent.
It has showcased my abilities and shortcomings in a clear way.
Firstly, I started giving
good examples to introduce the punctuation mark ‘Comma’ in a detailed manner. I
also elicited some information from the students, and that initially helped me
to engage the class student – centered. But, slowly the class turned to be a
teacher – centered one. The amount of the teacher talk and the student talk was
inappropriate.
Secondly, I wanted to
choose the topic ‘Comma in a Clause’ but I was not precise. I started giving
many examples and I also gave six rules of the usage of a ‘Comma’ and then
shifted to Comma in a Clause, which brought some confusion among the students.
The professor has rightly pointed that my lesson was good but the strategy was
not, besides that, my micro teaching lesson was like a combination of two
microteaching lessons.
Next, my Micro teaching is supposed to be a 10 minute lecture but it went on for
20 minutes. I must have planned my lesson in a
meticulously way with a neat plan and execution. Moreover, a decent activity
would have been very helpful.

I have many things to do. Besides learning from mistakes, I should
- Plan well for a micro teaching lesson keeping the topic and time in top priority.
- Introduce exercises and activities in contexts.
- The activities/ exercises chosen to achieve the objectives should be effective.
- Make the classroom more interactive.
- Allot time for activities and there must be smooth transition between them.
