This document discusses microteaching, which is a technique used to train teachers. Microteaching involves teaching a small topic to a small group of students for a short period of time. It breaks down the teaching process into components and allows teachers to practice individual skills. The objectives of microteaching are to help teachers learn new skills in a controlled environment, gain confidence, and receive guidance. It follows a cycle of planning, teaching, receiving feedback, and reteaching with improvements. While it helps teachers improve, it also has some limitations such as requiring motivated trainees and not guaranteeing classroom success.
