Microteaching is a teaching simulation exercise that originated at Stanford University in the 1960s. It provides immediate feedback to help teachers practice and improve their skills. During microteaching, teachers prepare and deliver a short lesson on a topic relevant to undergraduate students. Lessons should be narrowly focused and last 8-10 minutes. The process allows teachers to develop their skills in a supportive environment and learn from observing other teachers.

Welcome to Essentials of English Composition 101. My name is Sta.docxhelzerpatrina
Welcome to Essentials of English Composition 101. My name is Stacie Vesolich, and I will be your instructor for this course. I commend you for enrolling in this course as a path to furthering your academic goals, and I will make every effort to help you to achieve success in your writing endeavors. Let me begin by highlighting several key points of this course:
Essentials of English Composition 101
8 Modules and a Final Research Paper
There are 8 modules, culminating with a final research paper as the exam.
Each module is different, and it is very important that you read the instructions for every module.
The beginning module requires you to do several writing, practice exercises. This is mandatory, even though the practice exercises are not graded.
The modules start out relatively easy (a descriptive essay and a narrative essay that are written on your firsthand experiences and do not require any writing citations.)
Be advised that the modules build on each other, progressively becoming more difficult.
As your instructor, I have 3 days ( per module) to grade your work. My response to your essay submissions usually does not take three days, although I am granted that amount of time.
Read, Write, Submit, Wait
English courses require that the writer addresses the writing prompt. This can only be done if the writer carefully reads the specific directions.
After you submit your essay, wait for the remarks and critique before submitting another module.
In some instances, you may be required to submit a revision of your essay.
The option to do a revision on the submitted essay is your choice, but is to your advantage.
Progression of Difficulty
Each writing module develops a specific skill and the level of difficulty of these writing skills increases as the course progresses.
Be sure to carefully read all of the instructions and view any videos that apply to the module.
Always address the writing prompt: This is the specific instructional requirement for the essay.
Research and Sources
For this course, when you present information that is based on research that you have reviewed and studied, you must provide two types of sources:
1) Parenthetical or in-text citations For example: (Smith 22)
2) A works cited page that is in alphabetical order.
3) I will use an electronic scan to verify that the work submitted is your original work, or work that has been properly cited.
Remember that you have signed an honesty agreement about the work that you will submit.

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.
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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. What is Microteaching?
A training concept that originated in the Stanford
Teacher Education Program in the 1960s
A teaching-simulation exercise that will provide you with
immediate supportive feedback
A set of best practices for you to follow (or at least
consider) when teaching your students
An opportunity to practice skills useful beyond the
classroom (e.g., presenting at a conference, job
interviewing, speaking with the public about your
research)
An orientation component consistently rated beneficial
3. A Learner-Centered Experience
Microteaching is a way for you to hone your
skills in a supportive peer-learning environment.
You will see that your peers share with you
many of the same struggles, the same
weaknesses, the same strengths.
You will recall techniques or learn new ones by
observing your peers.
4. Choosing a Mini-Lesson Topic
Your topic should be
relevant to your discipline
narrow and small-scale
aimed at first-year college students
a lesson you might teach early in the
semester
appropriate for interactive learning
5. What Does Not Work Well as a Topic?
A section from your thesis
A paper you’ve written for a conference
A subject more appropriate for your peers
in graduate school
A lesson that requires multiple technical
terms and jargon
A topic that is too broad to cover
effectively within the scope of eight to ten
minutes
6. A Sample Mini-Lesson
Learning Context: An entry-level writing course; a
unit on effective punctuation in standard English
prose
Lesson Topic: Conventional usages of the colon
Learning Goal: By the end of the lesson, students
will be able to recognize and employ two
conventional usages of the colon
7. Sample Lesson Plan Outline
I. Opening (2 minutes)
Ask students to take a minute to jot down a brief sentence illustrating a
common use of the colon. Quickly write one of your own examples on
the board illustrating an explanatory relationship between complete
thoughts (as in the example below). Ask students to consider if their
examples match yours in the way the colon is used (most of theirs will
likely illustrate a colon signaling a list). Ask a volunteer to explain the
relationship between the two thoughts in the sentence on the board.
Suggest why this lesson could be useful: a colon can signal a
meaningful connection between complete thoughts and thus facilitate
quick reading comprehension.
Example:
This film has been modified from its original version: it has been
formatted to fit your television screen. (Note that the motion picture
industry often punctuates these thoughts as two separate sentences.
Which version might be stronger and why?)
8. II. Body (5-7 minutes)
Ask a student to volunteer an example of a colon signaling a
list, perhaps one that he/she jotted down earlier. Write it on the
board. Assess whether it uses the colon conventionally (or
“correctly” according to “rule books”) and explain why.
Some types that might be offered:
A. The items I enjoyed the most at the restaurant were:
grilled salmon, jasmine rice, asparagus, and bourbon pie.
(point out that no colon is needed here and explain why)
B. Alfredo sauce consists of: butter, parmesan cheese,
heavy cream, and black pepper. (again, no colon is needed)
C. The restaurant offers three low-fat side dishes: steamed
broccoli, roasted zucchini, and long-grain rice. (good use of
colon because it comes at the end of a complete thought and
signals that what follows are the items; point out alternative
phrasing without colon: e.g., For its low-fat side dishes, the
restaurant offers steamed broccoli, roasted zucchini, and long-grain
rice.)
If time allows, revise a pair of linked independent thoughts to
show alternative punctuation and connector words; briefly
discuss colon usages relevant to genre and audience.
9. III. Closing (1-2 minutes)
Draw to a close by reasserting the two conventional colon
usages your students have learned:
1. Use a colon after a complete thought to signal an
explanation or exemplification or cause.
2. Use a colon after a complete thought to introduce a list.
End with a little humor by writing the following sentence (from
Lynne Truss’s Eats, Shoots & Leaves) on the board, which will
also serve to introduce the next unit on semicolons:
I pulled out all the stops with Kerry-Anne: I used a
semicolon.
10. III. Closing (1-2 minutes)
Draw to a close by reasserting the two conventional colon
usages your students have learned:
1. Use a colon after a complete thought to signal an
explanation or exemplification or cause.
2. Use a colon after a complete thought to introduce a list.
End with a little humor by writing the following sentence (from
Lynne Truss’s Eats, Shoots & Leaves) on the board, which will
also serve to introduce the next unit on semicolons:
I pulled out all the stops with Kerry-Anne: I used a
semicolon.
