Reflection:
Designing a lesson plan is a daily routine for a teacher in order to successfully run his or her class. Just imagine, a group of four students has been given a task to construct a lesson plan in which none of them is familiar with. The mission started with a blank mind and zero ideas. After several meetings and discussions, we came out with the idea to design a lesson plan based on speaking and communication skills which are in lined with our blog's theme, Phonetics and Phonology of English.
Moreover, in the process of making this lesson plan, we faced quite a number of problems. For instance, lack of communication by one of the group members has dragged us to have a meeting with the course instructor. One vital key point that is being reminded to every one of us in the group by the course instructor is the importance of communication in making a group work works.
Though there are sour faces initially, we managed to get rid of that unsatisfied feelings and get on with the group work and the assignment. We asked around, the research assistant, friends and the course instructor herself in order to improve and improvise our lesson plan. Another obstacle that we experienced during the process of making this lesson plan is finding the full version of speech synthesizer software. Most of the software that we found on the internet are just a trial version and will only be valid for 20 times of usage.
Luckily, we solved this problem and here it is, the lesson plan is ready and presented before your eyes. The moral that we obtained from designing and constructing this lesson plan is we need to have a system in order for us to arrange and manage ourselves accordingly. We also need to synchronize everything in order to make our life run smoothly as well as to plan on what should we do and where should we proceed next after every action that we have done and the most important thing is how to make the plan works. If the plan is being interrupted by some external matters, so be it. That is life, we as the human beings are only capable to plan but the one who determines whether the plan is going to work or not is the Almighty.
However, we find the lesson plan to be very interesting because the students participated and enjoyed it very much. Hopefully students can acquire speaking and communication skills with the help of the activities arranged by the teacher. Furthermore, students are also expected to level up their proficiency in using computer when they use the Speech Synthesizer software, online dictionary and video streaming.
