The Teaching of Listening and Reading
Teachers are the role model of students. Teachers teach and guide students and
students listen and follow everything they say. Teachers should have fashion and
dedication to their job; they must be a good example to the students and to those
people around them. Therefore, teachers have to live with norms and good practice
inside and outside of school that can shape and mold during demonstration teaching.
This October 29, 2019, my classmate named Ms. Arquiz Donna Mae conducted
her Demonstration Teaching with the help of her group mates. I know that
demonstrating teaching is not an easy task because it is a task that teachers and future
teachers have to prepare and practice in advance but I can say that Ms. Arquiz did a
very commendable job a beginner. It was evident from the beginning of the demo up to
the end. She used instructional materials that are suited with her topic and the level of
thinking of her students that’s why her students (group mates) can easily cope up to the
flow of his demo-teaching. I also noticed her way of speaking and the way she calls and
gives feedback to her students, she did not stutter and she did a god job in elaborating
the answer and questions. That way of her teaching, she is so confident with his
speaking and gestures and I can say that she almost grasped the momentum and spirit
of being a good teacher in the future. Because of these, I learned that I must be
confident enough in doing things like this and I should have come inside classroom
prepared and ready holistically. On the other hand, about the lesson she chose which is
about the love of mother elephants towards her son and vice versa, is very effective
and interesting specially when the students are in high school level. Students’ interest
will trigger, they can easily reflect themselves in the situation and this will result in an
active engagement throughout discussion. Because of this, I also learned that preparing
and doing demo-teaching, it should starts with appropriate way of choosing instructional
materials and objectives that aligned with the chosen or given topic. Then, it should be
followed by devising effective lesson plan and thinking effective teaching strategies in
conduction the lesson plan that Ms. Arquiz followed and conducted successfully as a
beginner.
Everything is hard as a beginner but it does not mean that we have no room for
improvement. It means that as a beginner, we have to do our best, prepare and have
good practice because the day will come that us beginner will become professional.
Just like us, future teachers, if we do our best even we are only beginners, it means that
the time we became professional, we can teach and share knowledge to our students
and be leader in our community and a role model in people around us.

This November 05, 2019, I was an observer of Ms. Fenol Roselle Demonstration
Teaching together with her group mates acted us her students. She came in room well-
groomed and seems ready for her job but there is slight mark of nervousness in her
face. As usual, she started with greetings then followed her lesson 6A’s lesson plan. At
the beginning of her demonstration teaching, there are pauses in her speaking but I can
say that this is normal because as a beginner, we will feel nervousness but at the same
time excitement. These are evident with Ms. Fenol because as her demo-teaching
going on, she started to gain the confidence and momentum that’s why in the middle
and latter part, I as an observer noticed the changes in her way of speaking and
delivering the lesson which is far different from the initial part of her demo-teaching. On
the other hand, she used attractive instructional materials but it is bit unorganized in the
part when it was posted in the white board but she still managed to enrich and elaborate
the discussion despite all those small mistakes. This time, I learned that losing
confidence is not an option in doing things like this, I should trust to myself and makes
practices that can boost my confidence. Furthermore, I also learned that making
mistakes is a part of us especially future teachers because those mistakes will serve as
lesson that will push us that we can do better than this time.
Making mistakes does not mean that we, future teachers are not good in our
chosen field but it only teaches us that in every mistakes, there are lessons behind that
we have to analyze and evaluate in order to complete our self and can serve better in
our schools and society. I can say that Ms. Fenol is an example of this, even she had a
hard time in the initial part of her demo-teaching, she keeps believing in herself that she
can do better and finish it successfully.

After this demonstration teaching conducted by Ms. Catalan, I realized that being
approachable is very important in teachers life. The teacher should create an
environment which students are comfortable enough to ask and answer questions about
lesson proper. Teachers should also create an image to the mind of their students, an
image that can persuade students to participate teaching-learning process inside
classroom. Overall, I am impressed that Ms. Catalan finished her task successfully and
seems ready for her teacher life in future.
