Microteaching is a technique for developing teaching skills through practice and feedback on a smaller scale. It involves teaching a short lesson to a small group for a short time, followed by immediate feedback. The goals are to help teachers assimilate knowledge, avoid tension, and increase confidence level. It focuses on specific skills like introducing a lesson, using examples, and asking questions. The microteaching process involves planning, teaching, receiving feedback, replanning, reteaching, and further feedback in cycles. While it allows concentration on skills, microteaching is limited in that it does not fully replicate a real classroom or address student needs.
