Reflection: Microteaching

The big takeaway from this lesson for me is that 10 minutes is not a lot of time. The most common suggestion I had was to allow for a bit more time for people to write their name. When preparing, I gave 3 minutes for my group to write their names, which was manageable. However, I ended up teaching about 9 people, and as such some students needed help but I was off busy helping someone else. I will give myself the benefit of the doubt considering I was not aware of the amount of people I would be presenting for (assumed to be 3). I made the decision to emphasize Japanese linguistics by getting everyone to repeat some sounds after I explained them, in order for more participation with the students, so that they were not just passively listening. Overall, I am very pleased with how many people enjoyed the lesson and the amount of people that were able to successfully write their name!
