The document discusses microteaching and teacher education. It defines microteaching as a scaled-down teaching experience used to practice specific teaching skills. Microteaching allows pre-service teachers to focus on skills like lesson planning, questioning techniques, and classroom management in a low-stakes environment. The document also outlines the four components of teacher education: general education, subject preparation, general professional education, and specialized professional education. Microteaching is presented as a technique within professional education that allows new teachers to develop their instructional skills before full-time teaching.
Team teaching
Team teaching involves a group of two or more teachers working together to plan, conduct, and evaluate the learning activities for the same group of learners.
an introduction and concept of micro-teachingGunjan Verma
Micro-teaching is a teacher training and faculty development technique whereby the teacher reviews a recording of a teaching session, in order to get constructive feedback from peers and/ or students about what has worked and what improvements can be made to their teaching technique.
Teaching of a small unit of content to the small group of students (6-10 number) in a small amount of time (5-10 min.) is called microteaching.

An approach to provide maximum knowledge about Micro teaching and Skill Practice. Useful for student teachers and Teacher educators. Many of the ideas are adopted from self experience, from other eminent slide sharers and from Educational Technology and Pedagogy books of all disciplines of secondary school level.
Teacher education refers to the process of preparing and equipping individuals to become effective and competent teachers. It encompasses a range of formal training programs, courses, and experiences designed to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for teaching.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. What is Teaching?
General believe is that anybody can
teach.
Teaching is beyond imparting knowledge
to the students it is not just getting
across information to the students,
Personalized sharing of one’s knowledge
or experience,
establishment of harmonious
relationship among the teacher, the
students, and the instructional contents
to facilitate learning.

4. Teaching (Cont.)
• It focuses on students’ learning which is
the change in behaviour, brought by
activities, training, or experience.
• Is teaching is an art or a science.
• Eisner’s (1985) perception of teaching as
an art is an aesthetic experience
naturally dependent on the perception
and control of qualities.
• The debate based on the following
premises.

Premises
Teaching skills and competencies’ are inborn, natural talent
Teaching can be performed with such
skill and grace that, for the student as
for the teacher, the experience can be
justifiably characterized as aesthetic.
Teaching is an art in the sense that
teachers, like painters, composers,
actresses, and dancers, make judgments
based on qualities that unfold during the
course of action.
Teaching is an art in the sense that the
teacher's activity is not dominated by
prescriptions or routines but is
influenced by qualities and contingencies
that are unpredicted.
Teaching is an art in the sense that the
ends it achieves are often created in

14. Microteaching Clarified
The term microteaching is a compound concept
derived from two terms micro and teaching. A
technique for providing student teachers with
opportunities to master the teaching skills.
Microteaching is defined as a system of controlled
practice that makes it possible to concentrate on
specified teaching behavior and to practice teaching
under controlled conditions.‖ (Allen & Eve, 1968).
Cooper and Allen (1970) "Micro-teaching is a
teaching situation which is scaled down in terms of
time and number of students. . . . The lesson is scaled
down to reduce some of the complexities of the
teaching act, thus allowing the teacher to focus on
selected aspects of teaching".
14
15. Microteaching (Cont)
―Microteaching is a scaled down teaching
encounter in which a teacher teaches a small
unit to a group of five pupils for a small period
of 5 to 20 minutes‖- L.C. Singh (1977). It is a
scaled down practical teaching experience. It is
scaled down in terms of:
(i) contents,
(ii) time,
(iii) teaching skill,
(iv) audience
15
16. Microteaching (Cont)
Microteaching has the following characteristics
(Allen & Ryan 1969: 1-3)
(a) Real teaching situation.
(b) Reduces the complexity of the real classroom
teaching situation in terms of the number of
students, the amount of time and the amount of
learning contents.
(c) Emphasizes training for mastery of teaching
activities such as skills, techniques, methods, and
curriculum selection.
(d) It offers better control over practicing teaching
activities.
(e) Feedback allows student to receive meaningful
feedback immediately after his performance
16
17. Microteaching Clarified (Cont)
Microteaching was developed by Dwith Allen
and his colleagues in the Stanford Teacher
Education Programme in the 1960s. They developed
a training programmed aimed to improve verbal and
nonverbal aspects of teacher's speech and general
performance.
Microteaching is a technique for professional
reflection where teachers scrutinize their own
teaching so as to discover their strengths and
weaknesses. Through the reflection on their own
teaching styles teachers focus on certain areas of
their teaching for improvement rather than a
technique for shaping behavior.
17
18. Advantages of Microteaching
It gives opportunities for skilled supervision
and eventual skill development.
It provides opportunities for component
skills approach, where the activities of
teaching as a whole are broken down for the
learning
purpose
into
its
individual
components (skills).
Provides an opportunity to learn multiple
skills that are important for teaching in a
short time.
Helps develop student teachers skills to
prepare lesson plans and choose teaching
goals and objectives.
18
19. Advantages of Microteaching
Teachers’ self-confidence grows in a comfortable
environment as they learn to speak in front of a
group and to ask questions and use evaluation
techniques.
Receiving immediate feedback is a means to
determine productivity and using teaching
strategies.
Allows for asking questions at various difficulty
levels.
Makes it possible to create an environment that
involves thinking differently and interaction.
It offers helpful situation for an experienced or
inexperienced teacher to acquire new teaching
skills and to refine old ones.
19
20. Limitations of Microteaching
Involves increased time and effort
It is costly
It is a passive process of learning by imitation.
The various teaching skills cannot be
discriminated and may not be coordinated later.
Cannot be used to individualize the learning of
the student teachers.
At times, there may be no constructive
feedback.
There is always the possibility of bad role
models.

24. Elements of Microteaching (Cont)
Modeling is
observational learning, imitation or
modeling: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and
reinforcement (Bandura, 1986).
Attention. Learners must attend to what the model is saying
(instructor's words) or doing (hand movements). A model
characteristics
can
influence
attention.
Warm, powerful, atypical people, command more attention than
cold, weak, typical people.
Retention :Encode the information and keep it in memory so
that you can retrieve it. A simple verbal description, or a vivid
image of what the model did assists retention.
Motor reproduction: Imitating the model's actions.
Reinforcement: Seeing a model attain a reward for an activity
increases the chances that an observer will repeat the
behavior—a process called vicarious reinforcement.
