1.0 INTRODUCTION
Microteaching involves breaking down complicated skills or concepts into smaller, more
manageable chunks and practising them in short, concentrated sessions. Instead of
teaching everything at once, microteaching gives students small, progressive stages to
proficiency. Writing and reading are vital for academic and life success (Bloom & Brown,
2014). Students must comprehend complex materials and it must be clear and succinct.
Teachers will teach grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, paragraph organisation,
and reading comprehension to improve these skills. Grammar, punctuation, sentence
structure, paragraph organisation, and writing and editing their own materials will be
practised through exercises and activities. Anyone will face obstacles, but with practice,
they can become good writers and readers.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
According to Bikash et al. (2023), microteaching is a teacher training technique that
facilitates skill improvement under the guidance of experienced supervision, providing
valuable feedback supported by arguments and reasons. By undergoing this process,
pre-service teachers have the opportunity to develop and refine their teaching skills in a
controlled and supportive environment before teaching in a real-life classroom context.
Additionally, micro-teaching has some crucial elements that are needed to achieve
lesson outcomes. One of the elements is focusing on specific skills. For example, the
lesson plan in this part will focus on reading skills complemented by writing skills. Since
the Form 4 syllabus leans towards SPM preparation, teachers must expose their pupils to
the English SPM format. For example, through the execution of this lesson plan, teachers
can familiarise their students with a format similar to that of SPM English Paper 1.
However, it is important to note that in this particular lesson plan, the worksheet lacks
multiple-choice questions. This adjustment is made because the reading material in this
instance is shorter compared to the standard format.

Table 1
The light bulb changed our world because we no longer needed natural light to work. It
made it possible for us to be productive at any time, day or night. Many inventors helped
create this new technology in the 1800s. Thomas Edison is seen as the main inventor
because, in 1879, he made a complete lighting system that included a generator, wiring, and
a carbon-filament bulb.
This invention brought electricity into homes in the Western world. It also unexpectedly
changed how people sleep. Instead of going to bed early and sleeping in parts throughout the
night, now most of us stay awake, except for the 7 to 8 hours we set aside for sleep. Ideally,
we try to sleep all at once.

4.0 Conclusion
As demonstrated in the lesson plan, microteaching is important for pre-service teachers
because it provides a structured and supportive environment for skill development,
feedback, and reflection. However, it is ultimately crucial to choose the right teaching
material according to the topic and theme to achieve the learning outcomes successfully.
Moreover, incorporating cross-curricular activities, such as Science and Technology,
encourages a holistic approach to learning. By integrating different subjects, pupils
develop a more comprehensive understanding of the lesson.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
According to Bağatur (2015), micro-teaching is a technique introduced by Dr.
Dwight Allen from Stanford University in the mid-1960s to assist pre-service teachers to
prepare themselves for their internship before entering the ‘real-world’ of the field and
since then it has been highly looked on in teacher education. By performing this process,
it will do a favour to the teachers in developing more systematic lesson plans for the
pupils while concentrating only on specific skills within each session. According to Singh
(2022), micro-teaching offers numerous benefits to pre-service teachers, concentrates
on honing and refining particular teaching skills, as well as minimising errors while
teaching. Emphasising on individual skills such as speaking and listening is vital for
promoting successful classroom and pupils engagement. Its versatility enables
pre-service teachers to change manoeuvers, adjust to different learning styles, and meet
the requirement of individual students. For instance, in this section, the lesson plan will
focus on speaking and listening skills, with speaking being the main skill complemented
by listening. The chosen topic for this lesson was selected based on the pupils' level and
assumed to be something enjoyable and interesting for them to learn within the given
30-minute period. However, there are little to no worksheets available related to this
topic on the internet for this lesson plan. Therefore, it is advisable for teachers to
prepare their own worksheets beforehand or utilise any materials available for both
teacher and pupils to use during the session, such as papers, coloured pencils, and
markers.

TEACHER’S REFLECTION
4.0 CONCLUSION
To conclude, the lesson plan has provided an engaging way to learn about
‘People and Culture’ through the topic of ‘Traditional Attire and Clothing Styles’, all while
assisting in the development of pupils’ speaking and listening skills. As outlined in the
lesson plan, it incorporates discussions about the design, materials and significance of
traditional attire. This helps pupils apprehend how these special outfits serve
enlightenment into various cultures beyond Malaysia. This type of exploration boosts
cultural appreciation and exposes pupils to a more diverse cultural range. Moreover,
Howard Gardner theorised that studying traditional dress and creating similar activities
among students caters to several intelligences. Looking at these clothing, for instance,
helps verbal-linguistic learners. Activities include writing summaries and chatting about
clothing styles, as well as strengthening language skills and solidifying students’
vocabulary and comprehension. Furthermore, these classes build interpersonal
intelligences through collaborative discussions, fostering cooperation and understanding
among peers while planting ideals of teamwork and empathy.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
In the methodological context of Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL),
microteaching is a common technique used to assess various teaching strategies among
trainees in the field. Its goals are to foster trainee teachers in upskilling their art of
classroom management, differentiation, and successful lesson planning, alongside other
important developmental skills, such as time management. To complement these
objectives, a non-textbook lesson plan has been constructed and tailored specifically for
Malaysian Secondary Form 1 pupils. The relevant standards align with those as listed in
the National Secondary School Standards-based Curriculum and Assessment Document
(DSKP). The lesson plan sets its focus on raising awareness among pupils about the
significance of digital footprint and safety, which is a prevalent topic especially in the
youth today. Digital footprint is crucial to be taught and understood, and netizens should
be aware that their online activities stay permanent on the Internet (Tengku Siti Meriam
Tengku Wook et al., 2019). This topic also conveniently falls under the existing theme of
Science and Technology. Through its set of speaking and listening activities for an
allocated time of 30 minutes, this lesson plan aims to achieve the instructional design
goal of microteaching in TESL methodology and education.

4.0 Conclusion
In summary, the proposed lesson plan incorporates the essential elements necessary for
a comprehensive and effective learning experience as highlighted in the concept of
microteaching, which ultimately becomes the primary focus for teachers in their
interaction with pupils. The chosen topic for this non-textbook lesson allows for higher
participation from the classroom, as pupils should be able to relate it with their own
online habits and behaviours on the internet. They are also encouraged to practise their
speaking skills through the execution of group activities, which would result in the
enhancement of their communicative and collaborative abilities as individuals. Paired
with the appropriate differentiation strategy, teachers will also be able to tailor their
approach to meet the diverse needs of their classroom. Substantially, the inclusivity of
this lesson plan offers teachers the advantage to facilitate their pupils’ language learning
by making the experience stimulating and interactive for them. Hence, it is extremely
crucial to consider the strengths of both pupils and teachers alike in the stage of lesson
planning. This mindful approach, although meticulous, has the potential to influence the
overall efficacy of the lesson.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Microteaching is a teacher training technique for learning teaching skills. It employs real
teaching situations for developing skills and helps to get deeper knowledge regarding
the art of teaching (Rahayu and Siregar, 2018). Micro lessons help student teachers to
practise how to teach and test teaching theories that they have learnt in a scaled down
(Msimanga, 2020). The 30-minute English language lesson plan below has been built
and tailored specifically for Malaysian Secondary Form 1 students as part of this
microteaching process, with standards based on the National Secondary School
Standards-based Curriculum and Assessment Document (DSKP). Its goal is to raise
student awareness about digital footprint and safety, which conveniently falls under the

1.0 INTRODUCTION
According to Remesh (2012), microteaching is considered a well-known teacher training
method where teachers have a chance to hone their teaching by focusing on many small
activities known as teaching skills. This method can also give teachers real-time teaching
experiences and can assist pupils in their education. One of the elements of
microteaching is teaching specific skills. For example, reading and writing. According to
Al-Jarf (2021) and Dadzie (2008) cited in Karunaratne and Navaratne (2023), reading is
a complex cognitive process that involves understanding words presented in a textual
format. It enables readers to expand their knowledge for academic success and personal
development. Hence, both reading and writing are viewed as language skills that are
interrelated with each other (Aktaş et al, 2023). These two language skills will be
practised by introducing pupils to activities such as reading a Malaysian folktale text
while highlighting the main points to understand the text clearly and writing where the
pupils will have to write a summary of the Malaysian folktale text to capture whether
they understand the text from reading.

2. Ask pupils to read the text and highlight the
main points for 10 minutes.
TEACHER’S REFLECTION :
4.0 Conclusion
In conclusion, the proposed lesson plan offers a holistic approach to improving pupils’
reading and writing skills, focusing on identifying the main points in a text and
summarising it. Additionally, it fosters an appreciation for Malaysian folktales and culture.
The reading activity, where pupils highlight main points, helps them grasp the folktale's
essence while writing summaries reinforces their understanding. Centering the theme on
People and Culture ensures pupils are engaged and connected to the lesson. Group
work, on the other hand, facilitates collaborative learning, and the inclusion of patriotism
and values aligns with the lesson's objective of appreciating Malaysian culture and
folktales. Overall, this well-rounded lesson plan effectively promotes both cultural
appreciation and language skills.
