SUMMARY AND SUGGESTIONS

Purposes of Practicum
The main
objective of the teaching practicum is to provide student teachers with
authentic hands-on experience in teaching. This is required to develop their
teaching skills and to start collecting experiences to enrich their
professional wisdom. It is not enough to read about teaching or to observe
others teach, something students have done for years. Student teachers have to
practice themselves because practical knowledge and wisdom are held by the
individual and cannot easily be transmitted from person to person. Student
teachers need know-how, and by connecting the skills of teaching to knowledge,
through reflection, they will gradually start developing practical wisdom.

The challenges of
teaching this time is how to explain the lessons using English because in
Indonesia English is considered as foreign language so it is rarely used in
daily life, then how to control the class when the students are noisy, and how
to manage such a short time to finish the lesson without rushing everything.
